She has a career?

On this day 4 years ago Putin signed his own death warrant - now he has to continue fighting to the last Russian because he knows he is a dead man the day Russia admits defeat.

Trump is ignoring SCOTUS and continuing to announce new tariffs. When are y'all going to drag his ass into court and charge him with contempt?

Voting is compulsory, only the preferential part is optional. In other words if you don't want preferences to be manipulated by minor parties to get elected with minimal first preferences you don't have to give them the option. Just vote your first preference.

He also said that the purpose of the tariffs was to bring manufacturing back to the USA. There are no tariffs of products manufactured in the USA using American materials so the fact there was enough illegal tariff income to consider replacing income tax is an admission that they failed.

On the other hand, the AFL doesn't have to go to the USA to try and find an audience. 🤐

So much has come out and it has made no difference to the religious fervor of the MAGA cult

Putin can't stop now. He knows that in Russian politics failure means death (he ensured that policy) and anything short of total annexation of Ukraine would be seen as a failure. The day the war ends, his life is over.

This is true. Until used EVs hit the market in numbers the majority wont be able to make that change. In Australia used EVs were initially very cheap because of the misconceptions about the real useful lives of batteries. That is rapidly changing and used EVs are now highly sought after.

Sweden ended its policy on non-alignment in 2024 when Russia threatened to invade Sweden as well, resulting in them joining NATO. They have been major supporters of Ukraine since the invasion started.

Mainstream News outlets seem only to be interested in government pronouncements on Ukraine, not actual news reporting.

You really think that democrats are ready to vote for a female president? Last election Harris was clearly the best candidate by every measure but so many democrats preferred to stay home and let a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and probable pedophile get elected rather than vote for a female.

Not sure there are too many Ford sedans in Europe any more either. Mostly SUVs.

America didn't fall out of love with sedans, American car makers found they could make more money selling oversized, overpriced trucks and strangled supply of sedans.

There are so many scandals no-one can keep up.

I disagree with the final point. This will not make car manufacturers more money. Well it might in the very short term, boosting executive bonuses for a year or two, but US car makers can't survive without exports and lowering standards stops exports. This is the final death knell for them

There is no way the Libs would allow a female to lead them other than as a temporary place holder while they organise their power plays.

And if history tells us anything, its that 10s of thousands of "democrats" won't care enough to bother voting at the midterms.

Trump putting the final nail into the American Motor industry. Car manufacturers can't survive without exports - no country will accept American cars that don't meet intelligent emissions limits. They will lower standards for some short term profits, boosting executive bonuses but then its over

You really think Melania doesn't know what a piece of shit he is?

All these people saying they wont use discord because of age verification. The day age verification was introduced in Australia I had to verify with Bluesky - and yet you all are still here!!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

If she gets out she will probably run for president - seems to be qualified

Trump has shown he has no concerns with ignoring the law or the courts. He has no hesitation at killing Americans who disagree with him. What makes you think impeachment would not result in him calling out ICE, his white supremist private army to keep him in power by force?

The thing is, to claim defamation Trump has to prove reputational or financial loss, not just accuracy of the comment. That means the epstein files and his financial records can be called in discovery. To date he has bullied companies into settling. Refuse to settle and TACO will do what he does.

Meanwhile we can't get daylight savings in Queensland because somehow starting work earlier is somehow bad for workers who are in the sun. IDK, its an LNP thing.

Well if "Sources" say so......

What make is it? From your comments it is not an EV which is what the post is about. As for ICE cars, Chinese cars dominate the Australian market. We have three in our family and in the five years we have had them we have had 1 tiny plastic clip on the luggage cover break on one of them.

If not for the opening credits I would not have thought it had any connection to Agatha Christie. I watched it because the alternative was to give in and watch another dreadful Netflix Xmas romance with the rest of my (all female but me) family.

That was true 10 years ago. The quality of many Chinese imports now is outstanding, on par with Japanese vehicles and far better than US made vehicles.
