Not Going To Happen.
.
Step one: All seven royals ahead of Andrew Windsor in the British Succession tragically die in an "accident".
.
Step two: hold a referendum asking: "Do you want Randy Andy as your Monarch or do you want a republic ?"
.
Sadly I fear people would vote for the pedo...

The curent insanity, denial, autocannibalism and self destruction exhibited by the COALition should not be this entertaining.
.
Having an effective opposition is of profound importance in our system.
.
Who am I kidding.
Pass the popcorn.

The USA has the most powerfull armed forces in world. Everthing is subservient to that.
.
The civilian society is there to support the millitary and to provide a recuiting base.
.
Musk, Bezos, etc are allowed to play their games as long as the millitary gets what it wants.

The thing that always puzzles me is that I see a large number posts saying the Republicans are fascists but the Democrats are pathetic.
.
It puzzles me.
There are other options.
.
USA voters seem to be unable to look past the two party cartel.
.
A strong democracy has a plurality of voices.

If everyone voted, he would not have gotten in.

But they didn't and he won the Presidency, the House and the Senate.

Accept the fact, the democracy has failed.

You are dreaming...
Trump will be there forever...
Either in the flesh himself or as a legacy.
.
He is establishing a dynasty.
King Donald,
King Donald Jr,
King Donald John III...

Unless something miraculous happens.

Not going to happen.
.
Trump owns the house, the senate and SCOTUS...
.
You guys are fooling yourselves if you think you have a functional democracy working within a constutional framework.
.
That is long gone.

Its not as though Israel has taken any notice of an any outside agency or authority up to now.
.
Why would they start behaving humane now when they have proven to be so good at being evil incarnate.
.
Why stop now, there are still Palestinians to exterminate.

I am thinking about the Greg Mandel trilogy (book series by Peter F. Hamilton).
.
Briefly it is about a post-authoritarian world, after a civil war. The deep anger and desire through out society to find and prosecute the officals from ousted junta.
.
So too I think, in a post Trump world.

I love the statement "fresh turmoil in the COALition".
.
It is symtomatic of fhe failure of the conservative politicians to come to terms with the Australian publics overwhelming rejection.
.
Australia does not want your fascist, racist, science denying, bat shit crazy bullshit.

I am getting really annoyed with bobbleheads saying there is "no silver bullet" answer to the housing crisis.
.
YES THERE IS.
.
BUILD MORE SOCIAL HOUSING.
.
We are in this mess because governments have promoted the Property Ponzi scheme.
.
We need homes not investments.

We need homes for the homeless, not investments.
.
You are just adding fuel to the Australian Property Ponzi Scheme.
.
Why don't you just build community housing.

I think it is so cute, how you guys think that democracy is still alive.
.
This weird idea that you will have fair elections in the future.

The fact that you think you can salvage something from this munted dumpster fire warms the cockles of my heart...

#Nobel #WorldPolitics
.
So they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado.
.
It's worth noting that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot and a lot of other arseholes never got the the Nobel.
.
It seems that being an Authoritarian is not the way.

I am sure back in 1783 there were people saying "there is no future Independent American Republic involving the Sons of Liberty".

They were violent terrorists.

The problem with antifa is most believe in the rule of law, a constitution, inalienable human rights, justice, equality, freedom.

And Fascist don't.

If you are anti-antifa you are against the people who are against fascism.

You are endorsing fascism.

You are a fascist.

I am sad to say the Rapture has happened, and well, if you are reading this, sorry, you didn't make the cut.

Yup, there was that something that you did, and well God is forgiving but not that forgiving...

So you are stuck here with the rest of us.

But the good news is there will be cake.

Queensland doesn't have daylight saving. Multiple timezones make life difficult.

Wel, news flash.
WA and SA have different time zones and you can cope with that.

You claim to be erudite, well travelled.

Just accept the fact.

Andrew Hastie has quit the front bench because nasty Sussssan won't let him set be the Liberal spokesperson on immigration policy.
.
Apparently, Hastie wants to emulate the Little-Scottie-From-Marketing tradition of being the minister for everything.
.
So he has spat his dummy.

It's adding fuel to the fire.
BURN BABY BURN.
.
You are increasing demand in a supply constrained market.
.
You are inflating prices and promoting the Australian Property Ponzi scheme.

When this bubble pops, it is going to be very, very ugly.
