You hadn’t learnt that already? That does suggest some slowness of judgement. How long have you known your mother?!

Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn’t be allowed to vote The repost on X from the US defence secretary illustrates his deep, personal connection to a Christian nationalist pastor with extreme views on the role of religion and women.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social remind me again about our shared values

"The Jewish community and general community see Mr Trump as a president who ultimately wants to bring peace to the Middle East … How he gets there won't be a straight road and we all await developments with interest," Ms Segal said.

"I think it's important that he is committed to a two-state solution, which is the policy of the Australian government, and that whether it's the State of Israel, as it is, and a 'Riviera' where Gaza is or whether it's just a Palestinian state, there's a lot to happen to see how that gets resolved

I know we are grumpy at Segal over the mega-donation to the far-right and her preposterous cribbed extremist 'report', but tbh I never quite got past her enthusiastically running with Trump's 'Riviera where Gaza is' ethnic cleanse

Pete Hegseth reposts video that says women shouldn’t be allowed to vote Progressive evangelical group says ideas shared by pastors and amplified by defense secretary are β€˜very disturbing’

So, that might even help $rump/GOP win next year if he does actually hold an election - no?
