Good weather will come Jerry!

...and his own VP, who had previously (and correctly) referred to him as an"idiot" and "America's Hitler"

Had a great ride today, over to Richmond, through to Sorell, then up the Tasman Highway to Orford on the East Coast. Interesting names along that road. I went over the Bust-me-gall and Break-me-neck passes, fortunately doing neither, then up Black Charlie's Opening without even buying him dinner first. On the way back I came via Midway Point and while passing the end of the runway at Hobart Airport, saw a C-17 parked on the tarmac so rode in for a closer look. Very enjoyable!

Putin must be shaking his head in disbelief at how gullible Trump is. What a tragic joke of history that both the USA and Russia have criminal, terrible leaders at the same time.

Not everything but health and education are more expensive under private systems. As always, insurance companies need to make a profit for their shareholders so it stands to reason that they will overcharge and under deliver whenever they can get away with it. Our family health cover is around $450/month and we're with one of the better ones. I would much rather pay that in extra taxes and have the public health system improved than give it to overseas investors. The USA is a perfect example of the worst way to do health care.

Cynical bastards. Cashing in on the obvious gullibility of the Maga crowd. Is anyone manufacturing gold toilet bowls? You could make money from both sides with those. For the Maga crowd, his picture on the outside... for normal people, his picture on the inside with his mouth open.

How do yachties know whether flying is dangerous?

Fully taxpayer funded health and education would be the sign of a civilized country.

Just snapped this in Hobart in front of a sweets shop. Not sure why Esmeralda has balls, and the Tassie Map is usually a short distance away from the freckle...

Sounds a bit conspiracy theory. I agree that the Republicans would like to protect themselves and their predator-in-chief, but actually destroying all the evidence without leaving gaps, traces, metadata and copies is a hard ask.

Shouldn't have been elected dog catcher.

Going to wear a "Halse Angels" patch Jerry?

Discretion should be at the manager level for that - the person who knows her best.

Maybe they would if they had an effective opposition nipping at their heels!

That causes a pucker just looking at it in a photo.
