Hi Pris, yes, same or similar for Australia. It's insulting how Trump slams us with tariffs, after Australia's loyalty as an ally. We can no longer rely on America. So now, Australia has invested $10 billion in military vessels from Japan.

The Late Show was the only programme we watched on CBS. It will be the last. Here in Australia, we always looked forward to Stephen Colbert's wit, integrity and compassion. Sheer joy. And now, deep sorrow. And disgust. America's gangster felon in the White House has soiled his nappies again. #CBS

A horrific loss for America and the world. Shame on CBS.

Stephen Colbert is a voice of integrity, wit and compassion. CBS has cancelled him, in capitulation to a witless felon. The Late Show was the only CBS programme we watched here in Australia, so that's it. We won't forgive or forget. Bye.

No more CBS for us. Stephen Colbert was the only talent we tuned into, all the way from Australia. Cancelling him is unforgivable.

Stephen's show was the only thing we ever watched on CBS. And it will be the last. From Australia to America, WTF?

From Australia: Congrats, Pete, on your wonderful news!

Just bought a download of your album at Bandcamp after enjoying the upbeat, boppy song 'She don't live here no more'. Whoo hoo! Thanks Izak, be well.

Wonder how many of these masked goons are from the pardoned Jan 6 batch of criminals?

Their body language & facial expressions are revealing. Most are thinking 'Yes, flattery is how you manipulate him.' Some are trying to hide their disgust at the stink of a soiled nappy. A few are doing silent self-talk: 'If I get through this crap, rewards will come.' A legacy of craven greed.

Yes, and then putting the shredded bits into an acid bath.

From Australia: WTF, America? How can you allow these goons to trash your liberty? Their gangster don was no stranger to you. His regime's agenda was clear. The shock is not what it would do, but the fact that so many Americans permitted it. We're witnessing a democracy commit slow suicide.

I recommend a book by journalist John Sweeney, 'Hunting Ghislaine'. It names people from not one but two client lists. I think Ghislaine's was mainly of British toffs such as Prince Andrew & Fergie. Epstein's carried American buddies like Trump, a neighbour. Mar-a-Lago was a recruiting ground.

As an Australian, I do not hate America. I don't even hate Russia, which invaded it from within. I just despise the current leadership of both. Despise. Loathe. Detest. Abhor. Ok, hate. But not the innocent people. Not the poorly educated or vulnerable. Certainly not the victims.

This looks like an AI image. And what is that cross doing? What is Christian about what is happening to, in, or from, America?

Sometimes instead of burning them, it hung or swum them. Prior to that it typically tortured them into confessions, e.g. being stretched on a rack, forced to wear the 'bootes', or sleeping on cold stone with no hygiene and only spoiled meat for food.

One of my favourite tales of all time, is the title story of this book.

Shared this recommendation to my wall as a reminder to follow up and track down. My book pile is rather hefty so it could be a while before I procure, read and endorse.
