Clearly the real tragedy is that there are no elevators into Air Force One ...

Clearly the first amendment can now be boiled down to : free speech for everyone unless you disagree with me.

C'mon Fugitive : are you trying to tell us you didn't have the Don Johnson 'look' back in the 80s? 😂

I rarely venture into the toxic swamp that is X but seriously, this mob is a breath of fresh air ...

What are the odds that if Angus Taylor is elected leader of the opposition, the first person to congratulate him will be Angus Taylor?

For those with short term memory loss who are responding favourably to the “are you better off than 3 years ago”, also ask yourself were you “much worse off” under Morrison & co. – the vast majority of which would form a coalition government.

I came close to blocking a major 'outlet' early yesterday for posting images from the 'Gaza' video : horrified that this side of the fence had sunk to the same lows as RWNJs, putting up bullshit media!
FFS, we're going to be so much better off when that evil prick shuffles off this mortal coil.

On the bright side Jessica, we could have been born in the Isle of Man!
That said, when we eventually do become a republic (long after I'm dead I guess!) a flag design update is definitely should be the first thing looked at.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists some 170k+ words and Trump has chosen the two list applicable to name his platform.

The truly scary thing is that there are far too many out there who believe there is some truth to it and, given the toxicity of its founder, that it would be considered 'social'??

I saw Count Yorga Vampire when I was a kid - scared the shit out of me.

If there ever is a remake they should consider casting Stephen Miller, Kash Patel and this evil looking dude ...👻

From every clip or still pic I've seen re Musk's kid in the oval office, there is nil 'warmth' from Trump. For all I know the two might have been playing catch in the hallway (wouldn't bet on it!) but Trump the grump is a real tell. No wonder Dumb and Dumber grew up to be such arseholes.

I'm old but remember going to parties as a kid and the hosts having the piss taken out of them for the flying ducks on the wall. Evidently the height of kitsch?

Seems like they've come a long way at Mar-a-Lago ...

I've been 'burnt' a couple of times in relationships but never had it as bad as poor Major Heyward!

Just a question ...
If, all of a sudden, your closest friends told you at every opportunity how amazing they were, emblazoned their name on everything they own and endlessly bullshitted everyone around you, would you still respect them?

How incredibly depressing that in one lifetime we have gone from JFK 👇 to "Person, woman, man, camera, tv".

Had no idea us Aussies consumed that much Kentucky booze.

Easy for me to say because my choice of poison is German beer and Aussie wines, but wonder how many will jump on board with our Canadian brothers and sisters?

If Dutton gets the gig this year, I reckon people will look at this photo in 10 years time and wonder why the fuck were stupid enough to vote in the 3 stooges.
And just to think there was a time when Billy big ears was considered the worst Lib PM!!

This is only a screen grab from the Project 2025 website, but given Trump's repeated denials that he was aligned in any fashion, it's kinda surprising (not!) that so many of the Project 'bullets' line up with Trump's orders from the last 11 days or so.
February 2, 2025 at 3:42 AM
It's not so much that Trump is a despicable sack of shit, it's the fact that his total insensitivity won't move the needle in the slightest for the maggots.

Money really is the world's main religion.
In what other life would you see someone like Tim Cook so openly supporting someone who is homophobic and has zilch respect for the environment.
I hope that sour look, Tim, was the moment your soul left the body.

Came across this 'gem' in a post about Pete Buttigieg.
I don't mind dissenting views - indeed, you quite often learn from them - but just what kind of a horrible human being do you have to be to write crap like this?
