There's a guy at our local airport with a cheap knock off Aussie patriot T-shirt with slogans and flags. If he wasn't so huge I'd ask where he got the "I'm an asshole" shirt. He's first up for boarding Qantas.

A lovely in joke I have with my daughter. When her friends ask "what does your Dad do"? she can respond truthfully and say "He works for the Government." They can interpret it however they like. FBI, Shield, ASIO 🤣

1,000 victims of sexual exploitation. Can you even imagine the pain these girls, now women, endured?

All because they were taken advantage of by self-centered, wealthy men who cared more about satisfying their own sick“desires” than the life of the girl in front of them. It’s time 4 accountability

Far out. I posted in FB about making it legal to punch Nazis. One mate said "slippery slope that".

Forget extra police powers. Just make it legal to punch Nazis. Wave assault charges.
"Your honour, evidence shows he publicly stood in protest with Nazis."
"I see. Case dismissed."

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.

But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.

Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.
