Yep you're in deep trouble. Fascist rule can last anywhere from a few years to half a century, depending on the acquiescence of the people. If 40% are true believers, then the game is pretty well all over red rover.

Malinauskus should get out of the gym and into a library.

Masterwork.

Rubio - an anti-drug thug with familial drug-dealing connections. Mind blowing hypocrisy.

I hope Danny boy realises his days travelling outside of the US will be over once the ICC issues a warrant for his crimes against humanity.

Regime change. Starmer renditioned to El Salvador and Farage installed as PM.

FFS stop trying to legitamise this abhorrent kidnapping. You're merely adding to the USA's increasing reputation as an international pariah.

Take away the Carey 50+ runs courtesy of Snicko then this Test would have been line-ball. #TheAshes

Ouch.

Come on down - you got my vote.

And probably the Ashes.

The official vote on the #FIFA peace prize reveals that Trump just pipped Netanyahu and Satan.

Thanks for your efforts in covering this travesty. If challenged, I can see Fair Work overturning many of the proposed sackings - particularly of librarians. We'll wait and see.

You're never in on these drop-in pitches. They seem to settle down, then a ball moves sideways or explodes off a length. Happens at the MCG all the time. I blame the greed and arrogance of the AFL.

Drop-in pitches are ruining Australian cricket (no - it's not a good batting pitch). Cricket Australia will either have to take on the AFL or develop stand-alone grounds. Two day test matches will become the norm otherwise.

Complete nonsense by the coroner.

Trump organised and paid the Jan 6 traitors to halt the peaceful transfer of power. Any plea for them to act 'peacefully' was merely an attempt to protect himself if things went wrong - it was the last thing he wanted. Everyone knows this.

There's a special place in hell for those that murder fisherman.

Yes, it's pretty clear that if the racist-in-chief is not on the ballot, the other racists simply don't turn out to vote. Which means that once Trump goes, so does MAGA.

What is a fact is that Eva Braun Leavitt is going to prison for a long, long time.

Is there an undetected gas leak in the NYT building? The whole world know MAGA are textbook fascists, and you're just waking up now?

You know you've slipped into dictatorship when they start attacking the priests.

Stop normalising fascism. The MAGA movement is an assault on civilisation. But I suspect you know this.

You beauty boys. That's how you celebrate.

Hey give him a break. While Trump and family are making billions this poor chump only got $50k. Wouldn't cover the cost of Elon's sperm bank fees.

Firstly, the US doesn't really have a 'left', certainly not in the mainstream. Secondly, in terms of philosophy, the current fight is between liberalism and fascism. Which side are you on, New York Times?

Death penalty will be off the table now.

Weirdest press conference I've ever seen. From the goofy Governor to the wacky sheriff and then to Patel who stumbled and bumbled like a high school kid forced to give a speech. The US is in serious trouble.

I have no formal qualifications but I think the technical term is 'batshit crazy'.

The fairest solution is to tax tobacco at the same rates as alcohol - given that both drugs cause medical issues. But this won't happen (despite alcohol causing much more social harm) as many MPs are closet pissheads, and many medical professionals high-end winos.
