Rather than it being a snub, Trump chickened out of his meeting with Albanese. The gulf between Albanese's intellectual and moral clarity and Trump's would have been too embarrassing for him. That's why they call him #TACO. #auspol

Trump is obviously a socialist.

Mussolini famously said "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." This move by #Trump is fascism in its purest form. #auspol #uspolitics #NoKings www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/b...

While #Trump orchestrates and basks in the adulation of a DPRK-style military parade, proud American citizens begin their uprising against his fascism.

All power to them. If America's institutions can't save its democracy, it's people must.

What Judge? This is the result of the court's judgement. It's all over in the courts. And anyway, why would anybody want to save them.

The Victorian Liberals are beyond help. Let them sink and start again Despite the corruption rampant in Victoria, the Victorian Liberals remain obsessed with their own internal brawls, and remain unelectable. Genuine liberals may have to go elsewhere.

Like the citizens of 1930s Nazi Germany, US citizens have a choice. They can turn a blind eye to the atrocities of their government and leader and reap the consequences as the meek Germans did in WW2, OR they can stand up to fascism and end the tyranny now.

Australia knows very well that Morrison is a corrupt pathological and compulsive liar. If he says #AUKUS is safe, Australia should plan for the exact opposite. #auspol

For anyone playing along at home the "bombshell decision" was an announcement that the NACC had found "no evidence of corruption or any intervention by either the Coalition or Albanese governments in the mediation process". #auspol

AUKUS in doubt as US starts review into whether the deal is ‘America First’ The snap review comes just days before Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and President Donald Trump attend a world leaders’ meeting in Canada.

It's obviously time to review whether Pine Gap and the US Marines base in Darwin is "Australia First". #auspol #USPolitics #Trump

Canada has been affected much more than us by Trump’s lunacy. So far we have not been threatened with annexation. Carney has had to take a tougher stance.

For decades the American gun lobby justified its awful stance on the need for citizens to be armed so they could resist government over-reach.

If that moment is not now, when is it?

Australia needs to do the same. It especially needs to dump #AUKUS. Australia should not be allied with, and our ADF should not be integrated into the US military while it careens into a fascist dictatorship. #auspol

As Trump and his militia torch America, Albanese recklessly insists on business as usual Anthony Albanese avoided talking about Australia's changing strategic circumstances during the election. But as Trump embraces fascism, he may not be able to much longer.

Americans elected a fascist as President. Now they're upset when that fascist does fascist things. Idiots.

#Trump’s claim that the LA protesters are paid is pure psychological projection. Because he does not lift a finger unless there is money to be made from it, he assumes everybody else has the same debased corrupt "values" (for want of a better word. #auspol #USPolitics #MAGA

At least he or she would be an Australian and a resident.

The Coalition says it’s open to tax reform – but there’s a catch The federal opposition went to the last election opposing the government’s tax cuts. Now it says it backs tax reform on one condition.

It's routine. All former PMs get one whether they are shithouse like him or otherwise.

Scott Morrison's King's Birthday AC for "leadership during covid" is the best argument yet for an Australian Republic.

I voted Independent. I'm hardly rusted on - but I did preference the ALP above the Greens.

Only Greens use the word "duopoly". It's a way to downplay their major party status. By the way there is only one "LNP" party in Queensland. Nationally, it gets fewer votes than the Greens.
