I see Trump as a composite of various figures from the Late Roman Republic. He exemplifies the vindictiveness and dementia of the returned Marius, the 'promise them anything' populism of a Clodius, and the consuming greed and frustrated desire for approbation of a Crassus.

Gavin Newsom: "What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren't screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It's all at stake. People need to wake up. We can't continue to play by the old set of rules."

I seriously cannot get over how stupid it is to be cutting back on research right now #ThePoint

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research
The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

Save the CSIRO

Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott

Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

In just the last few hours, Trump said "quiet piggy" to a woman journalist and justified the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But you know what, Bill Maher found him to be a gracious dining companion, so all in all, he's not that bad.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Seriously...Mikey no one is buying that bull anymore. The only part of the files that needs to be redacted is the victims names. No one else in that child trafficking ring should be protected because those evil men & women are the real threat to our national security, not what's in the Epstein files

This idea now being parroted by Johnson in his panic stricken press conference came straight from Donald Trump. Trump is terrified.

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Times sure have changed.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.
