Here's Winston Peters with the head of Sensible Sentencing Trust mingling with the violent & illegal occupiers of NZ's Parliament grounds, refusing to comment to 3News. His 'minders' pushing reporters strongly away.

Always the fucking victim, never the problem.

GO AWAY OLD MAN

I wouldn’t describe Ryan Bridge as a shaved gorilla, as that would be unfair to gorillas.

He was out of parliament for 9 of those 46 years, when rejected by the voters. Here’s hoping that happens next year too.

Winston Peters has been in the luxury carriage of the political gravy train since 1979. He’s been a revolting bigot for all of that time.

I understood that Parmjeet Parmar stood in Mt Roskill in 2014, 2017, 2020 and the 2016 by-election. She got thrashed on every occasion.

The fact that we barely talk about this – that Russia struck the Cabinet of Ministers in the center of a European capital with a cruise Iskander-K missile – is pure surrealism.

Just imagine if this was your PM’s office, would you still call it “just another attack”?

If Wikipedia is correct, Amy Benjamin studied at Princeton and Yale, then clerked for Judge Stephen Breyer before working for the US DOJ. Beyond belief!

As she might say, ‘Just askin’ questions’. The first time I heard Amy Baker Benjamin’s peculiar views was when she was on TV with Tracey Barnett giving a commentary on the 2020 US Election. Tracey, as one would expect made sense. Amy didn’t.

Amy Baker Benjamin has had an unusual career trajectory. Studied at Princeton & Yale, clerked at SCOTUS and worked at the US DOJ. Then she migrated, lectured at AUT and is now unemployable.
