Unlike the Dems, whose commitment seems to be to Run Away From Something.

Great review, but sneaky that it was allowed under the 'every Sunday' rule, given there's already a review of it (the 30th anniversary edition) on the site.

I quite like 'The Gold Turd' as an epithet for #Trump. He likes gold and he's a turd, so it works on two levels.

They are not Democrats. They are not patriotic Americans. They must be ejected from the Party with dispatch and replaced with people who have the interests and needs of the American people first and foremost in their hearts and minds.

And they wonder why they're a dead party. Honestly, when it comes to backbone, they're as bad as the Australian Liberals. And that takes a LOT of doing.

He never gained much traction in WA. To me, he was just another radio dickhead.

No link between paracetamol in pregnancy and autism or ADHD in children, review finds Wide-ranging review finds no convincing connection after Trump said women should β€˜fight like hell’ to avoid painkiller

And in other blockbuster medical news, science has confirmed that there's no connection between RFK Jnr. and intelligent life of any kind. #RFK #uspol #Tylenol

Rewarding mediocrity or providing new hope? AFL confirms divisive finals wildcard plan The AFL has defended its decision to expand the finals series to 10 clubs with the introduction of a divisive β€˜wildcard round’ from next season

These fucking idiots will never, ever learn. Honestly, the #AFL head honchos need to get in the fucking bin before there's a cookery round and/or a cubicle ball.

You're not alone. I adore Tolkien and the six movies, but that's the end of it for me UNLESS Peter Jackson gets the rights to make movies from the Silmarillion. Tolkien CANNOT be world-built by anyone other than Tolkien. It's not Star Wars. It can only be interpreted with great care and fidelity.

Is there a state in the US that's a worse disaster zone than Alabama? They've basically red-voted themselves in a North Korea comparable hell hole of despair and deprivation.

Bob Katter painted in flattering light as portrait unveiled after 50 years in politics | Josh Butler PM says permanent display of Bob Katter’s portrait is β€˜a corner of this Parliament House that is forever Bob Katter’

Australian politics gets a lot right. This is how political foes ought to behave. Decency, self-deprecation, respect and some good-natured banter. American friends, I hope you find it again. #auspol #uspol

Painting #BobKatter in a flattering light is easy. You just paint him with his mouth shut. #auspol

It's very sad. And hurtful. But it's also pathetic. Imagine being so messed up and twisted to feel the need to write that. Clearly they've been failed by their family and the education system. They are desperately unhappy and hopelessly lost, but not irredeemable.

Next time the Dems are in power, they MUST expand SCOTUS or force retirement over 75, and confer statehood onto Puerto Rico and DC. Then we'll see how many seats these fucking arseholes have. It'll take balls to do, though, which is how we know none of the establishment are up to the job. #uspol
