Yes, Bill failed the credulity test. One of the few "nice" things said about Trump is that he is a good salesman and has the capacity to make people he talks to feel heard and seen.

Bill had surely heard of that.

He got played, good and proper.

The weird thing is that Bill's retelling of the dinner at the WH was pretty complimentary to Trump.

It doesn't need to be an autocracy for that... US politicians have been choosing their voters for decades via gerrymandering.

Just part of how US voters are disenfranchised.

To borrow a line used to describe Henry Kissinger... Trump "does not lie because it's in his interests. He lies because it's in his nature."

America got what it voted for.

The people are too angry and ready to believe anything they're told and the opposition didn't make a good enough case.

I enjoy the Fallout show... But man I hate the soundtrack. The music is right from a period of music that I never enjoyed.

Labor will never have a better time to revisit carbon pricing โ€“ but does it have the stomach to make polluters pay? | Clear Air The government has not made enough of a dent in emissions, but global trends and a shambolic opposition offer a rare opportunity to act

Business that produces negative externalities should have to pay for the privilege and fines should be related to the income of said business.

How about it, @australianlabor.bsky.social? Can we tax polluters properly?

This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it. - Michael West NSW Police have assaulted dozens of peace protestors who gathered to protest the visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog to Australia.

Disgraceful actions by the NSW police, compounding the ridiculous decision to invite an accused war criminal to the country for a tour.

Unsure. I know he tends to stand with and support the ALP, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with him to guess his position in this matter.

He doesn't seem completely uncritical.

Gambling advertising ban. Labor odds-on to do nothing - Michael West Doing nothing on gambling advertising isnโ€™t enough for the Albanese Government; they want to ensure nobody does.

The ALP seem odds-on to do very little of anything unless the Zionist lobby tells them to.

The obsession with auctioning houses in Melbourne is ridiculous and needs to stop.

The public should reject auctions wholesale - it's the only way we get rid of them.

A little repetitive, but with watching to remind ourselves of the shit pieces that got away with this garbage.

And Rachelle Miller... The lack of self-awareness is staggering. That she took part in the series but tried to make herself the victim... Just wow.

The Robodebt six. Is the NACC protecting Scott Morrison? - Michael West The NACC is considering investigating those deemed most responsible for Robodebt, and whether to make the hearing - any hearing - public.

The people responsible for this travesty must be held accountable.

These people have no idea how to tell a joke... they gave away the punchline before the footage could tell the story.

Hilarious.

The action. The reactions. Even one of the lines from the reporter. Gold.

Albanese defends Isaac Herzogโ€™s Australia visit as federal MP joins calls to rescind invitation Independent MP Sophie Scamps joins Laborโ€™s Friends of Palestine group and Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi in objecting to Israeli presidentโ€™s visit

Translation: "Albanese defends his capitulation to the Zionist lobby."

This is pathetic. Unless you're planning to have him arrested and sent to the ICJ, rescind the invite and give him the finger.

@australianlabor.bsky.social : be better!

It's been said before... but it's because they're in a cult.

That said... the level of their willful ignorance and apparent desire to completely suborn their lives and opinions to Trump and the government is still pretty astounding.

DREAMCRUSH, by Mร˜L 11 track album

A lot of post-black sounds very similar. Somehow, while clearly being of that genre, Mร˜L have a sound that is all their own.

New album, released today, is worthy of a listen.
