Yes - this sums up Trump very neatly.

Complete devoid of any empathy - or even understanding - for the suffering of others.

Anyone else bought a LG tv? What’s worse is their remote. But together, oh boy…

In “Marathon Man”, the Nazi is forced to eat the diamonds he killed for. And they tear up his guts and kill him.
May trumpyboy eat his gold. On camera.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

He ran away quicker than Uncle Teddy from Mary Jo

The day they devour each other is coming. First, the hubris, then small irritating defeats, then bigger ones, the accusations, lashing out. Then the knives.

All that gold, how could she resist?

There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This was one of them.

As party-pollies who win office enter the House, their values are silently e-purged, replaced with those of the Already Powerful. A hardy perennial. Shh. Weird.

They may have to resort to the Lemmings Solution. Since the lemming is the species with whom they most identify. It’s only natural.

This boy keeps thinking he matters. Bad, sad, mad joke. Soon he’ll have to leave everywhere. And be nowhere at all. Pretty much where he really is anyway.

Likewise. True, no need for shame, but sad, and occasionally angering, even with publication.
Or any acknowledgement. Please, pretty please…

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

My parents' backyard is territory of the neighbourhood's feathered mafia—the magpies. But their grazing habits haven't dissuaded a ballsy butcherbird from swooping down and nabbing bits of cheese thrown to (and intended for) the maggies.

Grey butcherbirds are pesky lil' buggers. I love them though.

I’d be bereft without it. Enjoy.

The current trajectory of his government - and apparently it really is his - is alarming. We have moved past his timidity(?) being adequate explanation.

I doubt he has the emotional intelligence to feel the pleasure at people’s pain that may drive a sadist. Don’t think he’s capable.

When it rains, butcher birds sit under the eaves and raucously serenade our baffled dog. Beautiful and funny.

A koala corridor next door gives cover. King parrots, whip birds, even a Powerful Owl. Just north of Brisbane. Hordes of screaming cockatoos. Beats tv.

Such a shame, the high match between wealth and bigoted stupidity. Their money amplifies their weasel views, as if they’re worth hearing. Fools enough journos.

Adult pheasant came to our yard this morning. Walked along the fence, big tail dragging, sat in a tree for a conversation with another one some distance away.

Could even be Australian.
Looks like a pollie.
Talks like a pollie.
It’s a mystery, eh?

Who can this be?
“Here comes the blind Commissioner,
They’ve got him in a trance,
One hand’s on the tight-rope walker.
The other is in his pants.”
(Apol., Bob.)

Presumably had to talk to the crisis PR consultants first, to get some quick coaching.

How horse poo gets systemic.
