In a party littered with unfathomable arseholes, Linda Reynolds sits among its most historically prolific practitioners. A rare arsehole indeed.

Who the fuck would listen to Howard push back against gun reform in the wake of the biggest tragedy in decades (and no one is saying it’s just gun reform which is needed, ofc hate in all forms, including anti-Semitism is horrendous) and come to the conclusion that THIS is the take?!

I don't think booing a Premier, who has done more to stifle hate speech, at a memorial for #Bondi victims in Melbourne is social cohesion in action. And it would have been nice for the #Israeli ambassador to thank the hero Ahmed who took down one of the shooters. Tolerance & love works two ways.

The weirdest thing today for me was the entirely sane and non- judgemental message from #DonaldTrump . It was kind. Better tone than #SussanLey certainly.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Folks, this now successful campaign to capture the federal parliamentary Liberal Party re dumping net zero 2050, has been bankrolled by an “enshitification” online outfit called Advance -bankrolled by Gina Rinehart, an Australian coal/gas oligarch and Trumpist.

At least Sussan Ley will be able to look back at her few months as leader secure in the knowledge she never once bothered to stand for anything

Dick Cheney is dead, the death of a bad person is a happy day.

Dick Cheney was a key architect and strong proponent of the 2003 invasion of Iraq based fake intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction and led to significant loss of life and regional destabilization.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

Rats in the ranks: Andrew Hastie, a military strategist, resigns from the federal Liberal front bench, unable to accept Cabinet solidarity in the Westminster tradition. So he’s obviously planning to displace Sussan Ley as leader but does not yet have the numbers. 👇
