Next up, Trump set repeal gravity and the first law of thermodynamics in bold new push against reality.

Is Chris Minns channeling Donald Trump? - Michael West It took two Labor leaders to help produce Monday night's violence in Sydney, proving Labor is not immune to a touch of the Trumps.

michaelwest.com.au/is-chris-min...

β€œβ€¦Minns would have you believe he doesn’t know one end of Sydney from other. protesters wanted to march AWAY from where Herzog was. That’s not impression Minns gave.
It adds to his Trump-like obfuscation & denial of violence he helped cause at anti-Herzog demo...”

"The Jewish Council is regularly subjected to antisemitic harassment and threats, many of them serious enough to report to the police.

But I was genuinely shocked to see the antisemitic abuse we faced weaponised and amplified by pro-Israel Jewish groups, the Liberal Party and right-wing media."

Yes exactly David, scary when you get to my age. So many so called LNP reps hiding their family first, Australian Christian lobby and sov cit views behind the β€˜liberal’ label. They’ve been infiltrated.

Exactly, me either. And if we understand the weapons testing going on in Gaza, we also clock after watching police violence in Sydney, that we’re next if we get too uppity. I’ll probs be dead, but grandkids I’m worried about. And yes I understand I’m privileged compared to Palestinians. Just horror

β€œThe question is no longer about this visit. It is about what Australians will do with a political system that so openly, so brazenly, holds them in such profound contempt.

This is bubbling below the surface of the LNP. Every woman (& man for that matter) should be both alert and alarmed. And then organise, campaign, vote! No one is coming to save us but us. We all have a role to play. #auspol

Yes it is. Guys like him raise my blood pressure. Just in that short quip it was all about β€˜me’ he’s supposed to represent not a rule. 🀬 Why don’t these people join family first or the Christian lobby so we know who they are? I’m sick of them hiding in the shadows of so called β€˜liberal values’

Yes but it’s so cruel I can’t stand it. Cubans have suffered enough. From the days of slavery. One of the many resilient peoples of the world that could do with an invisibility screen from the USA.
