Jesus Christ, Albo - read the room.

And by "room", I mean "country".

As I've noted before, the behaviour of the Commissioner makes him *exactly* the kind of individual that the NACC should investigate.

I hope the cross-benchers and the Senate raise hell about this, forcing changes to the NACC that are so clearly needed - starting with firing that grifting idiot.

Brendan Parry Kaufmann @bpkaufmann.bsky.social · 1d

Great listening, Ronni.
Further to the NACC - a friend joined NACC in a senior capacity as it was being stood up - and resigned barely 6 months lately. A discrete person, they only (tersely) said the job was "not as advertised".
Clearly, we need to gut the bloody thing, and start again.

Hey, you don't have to sell me on her - I already like her.

Why is he always exuding slime? Is it to mark territory, to assist in breathing when he's out of his pond, or to dissuade hungry birds from pecking at him?

Less of a man, more of a mollusc.

You got a tote bag? I didn't get a fuckin' tote bag.

Okay, I understand that my monthly ANTIFA donation is no longer a tax write-off, but I can keep the tote bag, right?

He's also - and this is important - a goddamn lunatic.

This is what happens when the clown doesn't turn up at a kid's birthday party in Ireland.

People have to think of something else to do, it all goes pear-shaped - and this is the result.

meliss-AAAH! @mel.bzky.team · 2d

good evening EXCLUSIVELY to the irish

There is also early Irish literature about female pissing contests. In the story "Aided Derbforgaill" several women compete to see who can urinate deepest into a pile of snow. The winner is Derbforgaill, wife of Lugaid Riab nDerg, but the other women attack her out of jealousy and mutilate her by gouging out her eyes and cutting off her nose, ears, and hair, resulting in her death. Her husband Lugaid also dies, from grief, and Cú Chulainn avenges the deaths by demolishing a house with the women inside, killing 150.

Trump on the Nobel: "Nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months. And I've stopped eight wars. That's never happened before. But they'll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine."

These people are certifiable.

As unlikely as I think this future will ever be, if they aren't imprisoned for their obvious corruption, they should be institutionalized for their obvious lunacy.
