The one thing Donald Trump has always and will always be afraid of is the truth. And right now, he’s scared.

Phew - only three days until I can stop railing about Christmas decorations being up in November.
And I've got about four weeks until I start whingeing about Easter Eggs.

What a wonderful thing. I was always so spooked by the sudden death of a coworker’s best friend at 26 from cervical cancer. Went for her routine pap smear, no symptoms or anything, found irregular cells, 6 weeks later she was dead. 26 years old. She’d just bought a new car “all by herself”. Insanity

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Investigations into the Twitter/X user base has shown that 75% are bots. Imagine refusing to leave that platform, every day becoming more isolated in a sea of bots, like a polar bear on a shrinking ice block, roaring impotently at the empty sky.

As Trump turns his back on renewables, China is building the future
It's entirely appropriate that Albanese is meeting Xi again before he meets Trump for the first time. Xi is more important than Trump now.

A political retirement leads me to remind you: The true nature of politicians is seen when they have power. Our media/political system says that power is performative, but they're nice in private. The way they act with power is who they are, the rest is the pretending. I have always been right.

Key question posed by #PatrickCondon; “If the problem is the same world wide - unaffordable housing - then the cause can’t be local zoning. I wish it was that simple but it’s not.”

I don’t get it. What is wrong with the ALP that they can’t see AUKUS is a dud? When ScoMo is the only former PM singing its praises, you have to wonder whether Albo and Marles are the full quid.

The acronym for a military alliance between France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Ukraine would be FUKCU
so I definitely think that should come into being
