What I've learnt from 50 years watching politics; nobody is ever gonna get 100% agreement with anybody else. Or from their preferred party/person.
I've come to think that the changes Gough made are still the best we ever got + NDIS.
Focus on climate change. The rest is details.

Agreed. I'd like to know the number of trans to female athletes that get these knickers in a knot. It can't be many.
I'd say the bodies who organise the sport should make decisions about the management of the issue, but it sounds like they're aiming for Fifa level corruption.

I fully believe in this flowchart despite its production being a joke. Perhaps.
In Australia is the same.
'Fuck Labor' here where the Liberals are as shit as republicans in USA or Tories in UK.
The right can do anything but the left must be spotless. And mostly are.

I'm impressed that the often aloof clergy put themselves in the front line.
As an antitheist, I would never treat another human being or any animal, the way Trump and ICE agents do. They are 'ungodly'
The US needs help, and I care for the people.

I need a big button with a furious face, with a turnkey face, for Trump's crimes with a Janus sad face for the victims.

I've read all three of your books twice already, and I enjoyed them all completely.
I'm hoping you're working on something new?

There was a grab today of Trump crapping on about I have no idea what, and the chopper was silent.
Didn't stop Trump shouting his answer as tho the racket was drowning him out.
Stupid old idiot.

Nor should you forget veterans, those who came back.
In Australia we march to remember the people.
Not glorifying war, honouring those who suffer still.

'More than any other occupant' is a bit of a 'der' moment isn't it?
Slightly understating dontcha think?
Trump and his enablers should all be in prison making number plates not squillions.

Ah, yes...I see.
Tho, are you sure he's that well-versed or well-read or whatever?
I mean, can he see outside his own tiny choad arena?
Just not sure he's got the brains required.
But otherwise, if someone showed him this pic...abso-fecking-lutely.
Sly vengeance is a narcissist's weapon.

I grew up reading those, or similar, books.
Jane helped mum in the kitchen while Peter helped dad with the car.
Sexist mores, but I shucked them and got better with age. Like a fine wine.
Warm memories of poor learning in an age of poor learning.

So here I am, in Australia, idly wondering what an 'area' man is.
First I check his party then news. Only answers from punters gives me any idea of the guy's shtick
There's a lot of politicians who do least as possible.
Locals know better than anyone.
VOTE PEOPLE, VOTE. BE GLAD YOU CAN.

Trump having a tantrum? Anybody surprised? Nobody? Huh.
Those he bullies into passing his BS bill should be shamed out of politics forever
Stand tall America, Trump's time is limited. If you make it so.
Cheers from Australia.

Indeed. With all his money it could take a massive hit and still have the GDP of a country.
And being Trump's lapdog gives him all the power he needs.
