“I can’t understand why the Iranians keep fighting for their country”, says a man who’s making a living out of betraying his country.

Trump: I HAD to surrender in the war I started with Iran! It was for the good of the world! I took one for the team! So the world OWES me bigly! And I’m going to collect, just you wait and see!

There are always people trying to take away your freedom and choices in a bid to enrich themselves. Be on your guard against them.

Beset on all sides, Trump is probably thinking now would be a good time to release COVID-20.

Trump is an agent of chaos. And in the furious chaotic whirlwind that he’s caused, he’s hoping that Americans, and the world more generally, won’t notice that he’s stealing them blind.

How can one man cause so much chaos, unimpeded?

Where’s my Jaime Lannister?

No good will ever come from the overconfidence of fools.

We won’t adhere to “stupid rules of engagement” but expect you to.

The Trump regime is attempting to provoke the citizenry by sanctioning the execution of innocent people by ICE thugs, but they’ll be happy if these unlawful and unjustified killings become normalised, knowing the people are becoming cowed. Why aren’t police and the National Guard protecting people?

Kudos to the greatest negotiator to have ever lived for negotiating a continuation of the status quo relating to America’s access to Greenland. 😑

How long until US foreign policy under Trump becomes “We will take anything we want at any time from any country and you will do nothing about it because we will nuke the first country to resist.”

Never has legal discovery been fraught with so much peril for one person.

Whenever I see any of the chest-thumping ‘patriotic’ poseurs in the Trump administration, I get the strong impression that they would sell America out in a heartbeat if they thought they would benefit personally from such a transaction.

Bill Clinton: I did not inhale. Donald Trump: I did not swallow.

The MAGAGOP cannot believe its luck.

The November 2025 election results in the US will rattle Trump and the MAGAGOP. But instead of them listening to the public mood and easing back on their excesses, expect them to double down frantically on their punishment of the people, implementing Project 2025 and rigging the mid-terms next year.

It’s starting to seem like no matter how far right you are in the US, you’ve got to keep looking over your shoulder for someone even further to the right.

“America First” is looking increasingly like “America Last”.

How could Ukraine trust any security guarantee provided by the US, especially under Trump?

Liberal “Dead” Ted O’Brien on 7.30 tonight saying he’s attending the Federal Government’s productivity summit to represent households who are doing it tough. What rubbish! He’s representing big business that hasn’t shared productivity gains with workers for at least a decade.

If Putin is warning Europe “to not throw a wrench in the works” over his ‘agreement’ with Trump and “not use backroom dealings” to torpedo it, then you can bet your last dollar that the agreement is very good for Russia. Which means it is very bad for Ukraine.

The Israeli Government: Now that we have destroyed Gaza, rendered its population homeless and engineered widespread famine within its borders, we need to find some schmucks to take it over and meet the costs of reconstruction as we haven’t been able to displace the population to other countries.

With each passing day under this corrupt idiot of a president, America’s greatness diminishes.

Looks like Independence Day in the US will be trumped by Autocracy Day when the Felon in Chief signs the Big Bastard of a Bill into law.

What I want to know is from what crypt did they exhume Miller and Bove, and how did they re-animate these cadavers?

Wannabe mob boss Trump on Iran: I’m going to make them an offer I can’t understand.

With the US review of the AUKUS, it would not be surprising if Trump is getting ready to try and shake down Australia. If he does, it would be an ideal opportunity to walk away from the deal and revert to a sub deal with France.

Expect a spill in the Liberal Party in the September quarter, after Senatorial membership changes on 1 July. The hard right faction will not be denied for long.

North Korea - the Original Gangster State. The United States: “Hold my beer!”

Thank you, Australia, for looking to the future and not dwelling on the past! And for seeing through the tissue-thin policies proffered by the Coalition, which needs comprehensive reform to prune the dead wood at senior levels.

Fitting that Trump is threatening to do a ‘Pontius Pilate’ on Russia’s war with Ukraine at Easter.

“Suss”an Ley on the TV this morning. How can anyone take her seriously?

Peter Dutton touts himself as a ‘strong leader’. I don’t want a leader who is consistently strongly wrong.

A reminder that politicians who are trying to pull the wool over your eyes (and they all do, to varying extents) are relying on you not doing your homework come election time. And if you aren’t engaged because “they’re all rascals, anyhow”, then you’re risking even worse rascals winning office.

Peter Dutton says that he wants to get Australia ‘back on track’. I reckon that’s a slip of the tongue. What he mean to say was ‘on the backtrack’.

Trump has enough material from his first term for a sequel to “The Art of the Deal”, called “The Art of the Steal”. So far in his second term, he already has enough material for a third volume called “The Art of the Heel”.

Peter Dutton walking back policies this morning that he should never adopted in the first place. Their initial announcement showed a profound lack of judgement. How many more policies might need to be jettisoned by the Coalition during the election campaign? A party on the verge of chaos.

Watching Peter Dutton on the TV this morning. Non-stop lies, misinformation and half-baked policies. It’s clear he’s learned well from Abbott and Morrison, two masters of untruthfulness.

What are the odds that a global trade war induced by Trump’s tariff policy could precipitate another global financial crisis? And this time, governments won’t have as many shots in the locker to address it.

Forget about the woke mind virus. It’s the Trump mind virus we should all fear.

Trump and his incompetent and dishonourable cabal are going to try and stare everyone else down on the Signal app scandal. And with a supine House of Reps, they will probably get away with it.

The use of the Signal app by Trump’s band of seditionists is a clear sign that they are less concerned with America’s enemies learning about what they are planning, than the American people finding out about these plans.

How dare the Australian Government run its Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme in a bid to assist Australian citizens through more affordable medication prices? Won’t someone think of the US pharmaceutical giants, whose profits are reduced from obscene to merely stratospheric levels as a result of this?

If your country still believes the US to be an ally, and your country is attacked and turns to the US for help, it would probably be safe to assume that the response by the US would be “How much are you prepared to pay per month (in advance) for our assistance?”

Trump Administration to Ukraine: “You know all the weapons the US has given you to fight the Russian invasion? How you were told it was free with no strings attached?” Ukraine: “Yes, we are eternally grateful for your help.” Trump Admin: “Here’s the invoice. Pay up within 7 days. No discounts.”

Shady JD accusing European leaders of behaving like Trump’s BFF Putin.

Trump, his hangers on and the broligarchs are all looking to smash the existing systems so that they can profit from the ensuing chaos. You know who’s not going to profit? The rest of us.

Going to be a nerve racking run chase for Australia against India.
