Kind of surprised I'm 80 and still standing - born a natural socialist/humanitarian despite being surrounded by racists, zenophobes, misogynists, patriarchal laws and social norms. Never excelled or even conquered anything in particular but I've explored

goodbye everyone - no more social media for me - it's not my world anymore where I have to pose for AI to determine my age. Fuck that.

That's all we need to govern Australia - a bunch of racists and bigots deciding on issues - great

Wow. Letโ€™s hope this happens again!!

Cos after the 20 or so years itโ€™s gonna take the Dems to repair, restore, reverse the MAGA actions and policies, theyโ€™ll have 30 years to implement drastic long overdue changes.

Starting with the Electoral College!! And universal healthcare!!

Iโ€™m excited!!

Thanks to Aukus we are now morphing into a US military outpost - won't be long before every state will have one or two US bases and it doesn't matter whether it's due to Labor's policies or Liberal - an inevitable outcome. We will lose what sovereignty we had or did we really ever have it anyway?

NO, IMMIGRANTS AREN'T COMING FOR U.S. HEALTHCARE

They're seeking work, yes, but not our medical system with its prior authorizations, high deductibles, co-pays, abd arbitrary denial of care by private "insurers".

Oh fuckโ€ฆโ€ฆ

I canโ€™t figure out if this is a good thing or a bad thing

Could someone with greater knowledge than myself explain it to me?

It's a "bad" thing. And you don't need greater knowledge to understand. Why would any country deliberately stockpile nuclear weapons? Gotta get rid of Trump asap

Live: Australia to host 'significant' US military assets at bases after AUSMIN talks Defence Minister Richard Marles says the US will pre-position "significant" American assets at several Australian bases, including Osprey aircraft. Follow live.

Don't like Marles but I dislike the thought of more "significant" US military bases in Australia. I keep wondering how many Aussies would welcome this "closer tie" bullshit and I realise the anti-US population in Australia is very small.

My comment was based on how small councils are allowing for builds - and then there's the privacy issue - but good on you - it is a solution but I do see it as a short term one - long term doesn't look good.

They shout victimhood and anti-semitism so loudly they can't hear the call. Superficiality has a profound effect on those intent on themselves.
