In Minnesota, Alex Pretti was shot 10 times from close range AFTER being disarmed. It was not even an execution; it was an orgy of violence by a large group of men on one victim. The US executive government has descended into depravity.

Just wondering how the media is going to swing what's going on with the Libs & Nats into something positive or are they all backing One Notion now? Either that or we're going to get Trump type sane washing aren't we? 😬

Anyways - Coalition split all but done. Eight Nationals resign from shadow cabinet. Can’t have a Coalition cabinet with just one party. Sussan Ley will sink with it.

Who could have predicted any of this? (sarcasm)

Nationals now calling another emergency party room meeting. Whole bunch threatening to resign, demanding the Coalition end. Australians are the biggest losers from these terrible hate group laws, but the political instincts of Ley and her team are almost unmatched for grasping stupidity

Coalition to the government:

You're not doing enough.
You're doing too much.
You're too late.
You're too early.

Stupidity rules.

Something that came to me while trying to explain the royal commission debate on RRR yesterday.

Maybe, just maybe*, this inquiry could be good for our public discourse, and for our national understanding of antizionism and antisemitism.
Could the Bondi royal commission actually be good for our public discourse?
Probably not, but imagine finally having a substantive national conversation about what constitutes antisemitism.

“Cultural sensitivity” means destroying an entire arts festival rather than allowing a Palestinian person to come along and talk about her new novel.

Josh Frydenberg was part of the Coalition government cohort who attempted to weaken Australia's Racial Discrimination Act. By March 2017 it was clear the government didn't have the numbers in the senate to modify section 18c. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Racial Discrimination Act change would require public support, says Frydenberg
Frontbencher says he is aware of sensitivities around 18C but it needs to be changed because it isn’t working well

I spoke with María Corina Machado today. I affirmed Canada’s support for a peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition of power — one that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.

I'd be embarrassed to show my face for a decade if I was caught on camera shrieking like this. What a goose.
Sussan Ley: I’m going to give the most opportunistic, unhinged press conference to try and get political gain from the tragedy that is the Bondi shooting. I’m even going to Criticise Penny Wong for not crying enough.

Michael McCormack: most unhinged? Hold my beer.

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

I thought about whether this comparison is callous but JF immediately personally blaming Albanese for the worst terror attack and 2nd worst mass shooting in Australia's recent history - nothing is as callous and opportunistic as that.

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate.

Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.
