Here is Trump's demented reasoning:
1. I am POTUS and SCOTUS says I cannot be prosecuted for anything I do as POTUS.
2. Therefore everything I do is legal.
3. Therefore I cannot issue illegal orders.
4. Therefore all military must do as I order.
5. To say otherwise is insurrection and sedition.

I am disappointed that the cases against Comey and James were tossed out because Halligan was appointed illegally. It meant we never got to hear a Judge ripping Halligan a new one for the incompetent & corrupt way she presented the Comey case to a Grand Jury and then tried to hoodwink the Court.

In an ethical Administration, Bondi would resign because of the corrupt and/or incompetent way that Halligan was appointed & for the appalling mistakes made in presenting the case to a Court. Both deserve being disbarred. In Trump's Administration, of course, nothing will happen.

How many Aussies know that the supermarket scanning code in place for decades, where if an article scanned at a higher price than marked it was free and similar items bought at the same time were at the reduced price, no longer applies? You get the lower price or they can refuse to sell to you.

I have a feeling that Demented Trump had no idea who Zoran Mamdani was and one of his goons whispered in his ear that it was another leader from the Middle East bearing gifts of gold and airplanes.

Is there something wrong with Trump's sense of balance now? He seems to remain sitting in so many photos.

Demented Donny says that for calling for the military to disobey illegal orders and to uphold the Constitution, lawmakers’ behavior would have constituted death in the “old days”.
In the old days a senile pedophile, rapist, corrupt felon would never have got elected to be POTUS.

Here's a plan to end the Russian war:
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Russia pays full reparations for the harm it has done to human life & infrastructure through its illegal war.
3. Russia hands Putin & his goons over to the ICC.
See, it's quite basic when you come down to it Donald.

The new leader of the NSW Liberals is in with a chance not because of her qualities but because the Minns' government is so bland, ineffectual and Liberal-lite we might well have dispensed with the last election.

Oh dear, how complicated the world is these days. My new bathroom scales come with a certificate stating they comply with cyber security legislation. My old spring loaded scales only ever generated works of fiction now it seems I have to be afraid the new scales might reveal state secrets. 🤣

A few reports are appearing that Karoline Leavitt is showing symptoms of mental health issues. All that lying is having an effect. Perhaps her god is telling her something?

Now that there is no East Wing of the White House the term "West Wing" is redundant. I suggest a more appropriate name is The Outhouse.

The Albanese government allows one of the best scientific organisation in the world, the CSIRO, to die a slow death through a lack of funding. All that blovating about turning Australia into "the clever country" show his words for what they truly are: policital cant from a political cunt.

The ABC dumps former bowler Glenn McGrath from its Ashes cricket commentating line up because of his association with a gambling organisation. Personally, I spurned him and the McGrath Foundation when it became knowledge he likes to shoot elephants for fun.

Today, the Demented One declared as a "new friend" and trusted ally" the country responsible for 9/11 and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Why? Because he and his clan of grifters intend to make lots and lots of money pandering to them. You can thank SCOTUS and the GOP for this.

It seems the conservative parties in Australia are on a "killing" spree at the moment with leaders in NSW & Victoria being turfed out and its only a matter of days, maybe hours, before Sussan Ley is given the tap on the shoulder. Pity the ALP can't replace the ineffective Albanese at the same time.

The media is writing about how Epstein's friends 'normalised' his behaviour. I take it this is the same 'normalisation' that the media is engaging in with Trump? In any other era, a President with Trump's character and record would be excoriated. He would never have even been able to run for office.

MTG is right to be concerned for her safety. There are several suspicious deaths associated with Trump including 2 from a fake assassination, 1 from an alleged "fall" & then Epstein himself. As far for Maxwell, if she knew what is good for her she should be asking for protection not a pardon.

I have no time for MTG. She may be as mad as a frog but she seems to have realised that post-Trump will come a Day of Atonement and that "I was just following orders" ain't gonna be accepted. Will the other Crumb Maidens wake up?

It's never a good sign when you have the overwhelming desire to sit in the dark in the cupboard under the stairs. I think for the sake of my mental health I need to take some time out from international and domestic politics. 😵💫

In 1939 the Nazis used a 'false flag' ruse to invade Poland and start World War 2. In 2025, Trump and his US Nazis are planning use 'narcoterrorism' as a false flag excuse to invade Venezuela for its oil.

Just a few years ago the media went totally ape when a relationship between two consenting adults, Clinton and Lewinsky was exposed. Now we have the felon, adjudged rapist, corrupt Trump up to his neck in pedophilia allegations and the media says "Meh." The media is now a major part of the problem.

Can we stop referring to these re-emerging right wing scum as 'neo-nazis'? They are nazis, plain and simple. Old school nazis. Their beliefs are still the same and as abhorrent as when they rampaged in the last century and like then, they will not be beaten by debate or tolerance.
