My opinion remains unchanged; Donald Trump is a fucking moron.

A screen capture from part of the report, as most of the screen captures in this thread will be. In this case, the screen capture contains a highlighted passage that reads, "While every submission criticised the actions of other decision-makers and provided examples, there was a notable absence of reflection on how a decision-maker, that is a campaign director, paid official, MP or candidate, could have done better."

Reading the leaked Goward–Minchin Review into the failed 2025 Liberal campaign. If nothing else it's very funny

Secret Lib review slams β€˜captain and ballboy’ Peter Dutton A leaked copy of the Liberal Party’s 2025 election review reveals the relationship between Peter Dutton and his campaign director broke down before the campaign began.

Of course the suppressed Liberal Party election fail review has been leaked already.

In Australia, there’s a campaign currently run by MFW (mad fucking witches) against a disgusting RW misogynist man & his crumb maiden sidekick on radio, doing exactly what you suggest. It’s working.
MFW did the same to one of the longest running RW WM radio hosts - he lost all of his contracts.

The only reason Temu Trump took hold was because it rang true. The lesson there, for all leaders, would be to not try and emulate someone else - voters see through you.

Shocking: Liberal Party election review finds horribly unpopular leader with horribly unpopular policies wasn’t popular

Shocking: Liberal Party election review finds horribly unpopular leader with horribly unpopular policies wasn’t popular

The report was leaked after initially being withheld from publication when Dutton suggested it could result in a defamation suit, in a move that probably could have been added to the report. chaser.com.au/national/sho...

Since the Liberal election review has been leaked to the Age, people will know Dutton was offended it called him β€œunattractive to women”. I wanted to let Dutton know it’s not his face or baldness that’s the issue. It’s his cold, dead heart, cruel character and mean spirit that make him unattractive.

Fact-Checking Trump’s Justifications for Attacking Iran The president made unsupported and exaggerated claims in a speech announcing the attack on Iran.

I was going to ask "why do they think the electorate will find them palatable?" then I look at Joyce, Hanson, Rump...to name a few. McBride thinks he can run again after twice being arrested and charged re assault on his wife. Unfortunately we know what small towns are like re this - see Balmoral.

WTAF. I still don’t understand the rubric, @dontattempt.bsky.social ‼️

Love the margins - I’m sure Zinzan will enlighten me!

Have had to decamp, early - grape-driven lunch beckons.

WORD FACT

The HUMs in exhume and humble both mean β€œearth/ground” (from Latin β€œhumus”).

Exhume β†’ to take out of the ground
Humble β†’ literally β€œon the ground” β†’ figuratively submissive, modest, lowly in manner

Hegseth doesn’t want career non-partisan professionals in senior military positions. He wants right-wing Christian nationalist political ideologues. Our military is being torn apart by this drunken fool.
