"Like any Labor leader, Albanese is up against a political class that is relentlessly anti-Labor. The media, meanwhile, cut Dutton the sort of slack no Labor leader would ever be accorded, and he's cruising along on a non-agenda of thought bubbles and bluster."

Congrats to the USA on its new monarchy! And double props for swerving tradition and emulating the diarchic Ancient Spartans with their two kings co-ruling jointly. Fingers crossed the Ephors show up next to constrain them
The history books in Europe ('cause there won't be any in America,) are going to have a hard time explaining what the fuck is going on here...

I cannot look at US politics - far too hard to accept that they voted for a President who is now selling a perfume to capitalise on bullets being fired around him.
Nothing we can do about the US - but there's an enormous amount we can do here to ensure we're not Trump'd by Dutton #auspol

This is absolutely BRILLIANT.
The Finnish gov knows that educating its kids to critically think so they can understand the concept of actual fake news will protect its democracy.
The Aust gov needs to consider adding this type of leaning to the Aus curriculum.

How incredibly disappointing. The US political system is now more akin to an absolute monarchy than a modern state…
#BREAKINGNEWS: US prosecutors have dropped Donald Trump's federal criminal cases – over efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and his retention of classified documents – as they bowed to the reality that they would not be completed or proceed to trial before Trump returns to the presidency.
