2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨
3. It’s always about oil.

so much for the Israeli Foreign minister who has blamed this on the Palestinian protesters. The sooner the politicians stop conflating Zionism with Judaism the better for everyone
I'm sure Donald Trump would want this guy deported.
Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the man who disarmed one of the Sydney attackers.
Ahmed was shot by the second shooter, who was firing from a bridge. He suffered 2 gunshot wounds and is undergoing surgery.

Given that 4 are charged with breaking and entering and 4 with criminal damage, do you seriously suggest that in our "free and democratic society" particularly with a Human Rights lawyer as PM that they stay locked up until 2027?? Given that time spent in custody is taken into account at sentencing.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored
