That's why printers are cheap and replacement ink cartridges are expensive.

He's upset the Brits and other NATO members by disparaging the contribution of NATO soldiers to the war in Afghanistan. Starmer wants an apology from Trump, but of course, he won't get one.

See above.

You've got it the wrong way around. You are not assumed to be guilty. Every motorist is assumed to be innocent until the breath or drug tester shows otherwise. No different with the hate speech laws. Stop worrying.

If you had nothing to do with the attack and live peacefully in the bush not harming anyone then there's no reason why you should feel guilty about the Bondi attack. The laws are for some of those who don't feel the same way you do.

Well you have to start somewhere.

It was a good speech, as was Ursula von der Leyen's.

I got 13 out of 15 before I gave up as it seemed they were all fake.

I was just about to say B but you beat me to it. The spanner placement is also nonsensical.

Trump has written a letter to Norway about Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize: According to both Bloomberg and Reuters, in his letter to the Norwegian leader, Trump wrote: “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.” “Although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” the letter said. The President then bashed Denmark, saying it cannot protect Greenland from Russia or China, and questioned its claim over the Arctic territory, saying: “There are no written documents; it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.” Trump ends the letter saying: “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.” According to PBS Newshour’s Nick Schifrin, who first reported on the matter, the letter has been forwarded by the National Security Council staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington.

No, I'm not cynical. I think Albo's doing a good job, as is Penny Wong and others, but they have to pick their battles wisely. The world certainly need good politicians and leaders but there are plenty of examples of bad ones.

Not only a misspelling but usually a clear mispronunciation as well.

Unfortunately, there isn't any upside for the Australian Government to openly criticise the Trump administration's domestic activities within the US or complain that he doesn't care about the Constitution. Netanyahu's ruthless destruction of a neighbouring country is not in the same category as what Trump does within the US borders. We also benefit from what goes on at Pine Gap and the other facilities in terms of intelligence and security, so they are not going to be closed. However, I don't think Albo would be silly enough to sign up to Trump's new scheme.

Well and truly off in this case.

Just nitpicking on a Monday morning, but there's another one of those really irritating American expressions in that joke that has found it's way over here. ".. off of furniture.." It should just be "... off furniture...". Here's another classic - ".. should of..." instead of "... should have...". So irritating!

The Gaza group will be a small sub-committee. He's trying to set up something a lot bigger to rival the UN as an international organisation with himself as the inaugural head with final authority over everything. That and the $1b contribution request should be a red flag for any country that's been invited to join. I don't think he's going to many takers at this stage of the game unless they see it as a way of currying favour, but that often doesn't work anyway.

I'd never heard of him until now, but it seems that the only real evidence is these unverified voice recordings. Hard to know whether it's true or not without more information.

Looks like he might be declaring war on Minnesota. He's been looking for an excuse to use troops against the US population since his first term. The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there.

I think it will go straight to the pool room and never see the light of day again. Trump knows the whole world knows it's not his. His ego won't let him wear it because he knows people will laugh at him. She didn't even get an Oval Office meeting for the handover and left with a crappy show bag. I'm quite pleased with her gesture really, even though it won't do what she's hoping it will. She can say what she likes about Venezuela just showing its gratitude, but with Trump, everything is personal.

His smile looks very forced. He knows it's her medal, that it doesn't have his name on it, and that it's now second-hand. Every time he looks at it, he'll remember that it wasn't awarded to him, and that will hurt his ego. It will have the same effect on him as knowing deep down that Joe Biden really won the election. I think she made a mistake. She would have been much smarter to just tell him that he deserved the medal instead of actually giving him hers.

Too late! Albo and Rudd have already made sure he knows in the hope that he'll treat us nicely.

That might annoy Trump enough to register the fact the Putin is just like him.

He will never say anything bad about Putin because that would mean admitting that he was wrong about Putin before, and of course Trump is never wrong.

I'm with you. I wouldn't willingly jump out of a helicopter or swim with sharks either. Life is risky enough as it is.

I wasn't being serious, Nev.
