Attitude matters, race doesn't - that's my philosophy anyway

ummm... where's your internal consistency? You call the major parties "socialist" and complain about people wanting "free money" from the government - women, according to you, being the worst... But then you want the "big beautiful consumer affairs department" and the "big beautiful medical intervention team", both of which would be the hugest waste of money in history.

I'd like his colonoscopy to follow Hancock's method in the movie "Hancock". With Vance (or Musk) being the person to get the close view.

This is probably the best opinion I've seen yet on why people vote for idiots like Trump. (Or Clive for that matter). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/13/trump-populists-human-nature-economic-growth Basically it boils down to the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor, referenced in posts above. If you're disenfranchised and struggling to survive, and you see people around you doing a lot better, then you may just want to destroy the whole unfair system - and this is the feeling that right-wing populists latch onto. They're not ACTUALLY going to make your life any better, in fact they will likely make it a lot worse, but they'll also make other people's lives worse too. A type of self destructive desperation. So maybe we should be taxing the rich a LOT more. How can we do that? Start by getting the money out of politics so there's no incentive for parties to do special favours for them.

Who was throwing records at you? (Badly)

And he was the winner too! Imagine what losers the other 999 sperm were.

Can't you just call them "undies" like everyone else?

There are heaps of good musicians out now. Whatever bands you love from the past, there'd be people doing the same genres now (and in some cases doing them better). I'm the same - stuck in the 80's and 90's, love Metallica / Guns & Roses / AC/DC / Led Zeppelin etc etc... but have heard some ripper covers. Five Finger Death Punch are a modern-ish fave, their version of "House of the Rising Sun" is fantastic.

Trumpet of patriots is coming dead last on my vote, and I'd suggest also anyone else's who is capable of coherent thought

Nothing Trumpy about the LNP... https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/13/image-emerges-of-jacinta-price-wearing-maga-cap-one-day-after-she-says-coalition-will-make-australia-great-again

It doesn't matter what he does, they will not charge him. We have the incredible situation that a greedy sociopath convicted felon is given a position that he can abuse in a thousand different ways to profit himself and his cronies, without fear of consequence.

Told you. Delusions of grandeur (delusions of adequacy, in his case). Next he'll have a funny hairstyle and little hands... oh wait

teknalb tew a hcus er'uoy. Nah sorry Peter, that one doesn't work.

Basically he wants to be an emperor, god-king, pharaoh type figure.

With kids like mine, I don't have a choice.

It can be said both forwards and reversed.

That's interesting. So all football/cricket fields should have their name changed from "oval" to "ellipse"?

Give it a week.

Especially if you're tyred.

Maybe the Dublin city council should modify Molly's cleavage to do the same. They'd make a fortune!

Most governments are better than Trump's. He's put the US on a downward slope and eventually even the sycophantic idiots who love him are going to realise it. @old man emu you're right there - who profits? From every action Trump takes you can see his aim is to take away money from those who need it most and give it to those who need it least. Your average hillbilly Trumpist isn't out there working the share market.

Keep him away from the girls or you may find yourself a great-great-grandfather. The breeding gene is obviously strong in your line.

Widespread battery takeup would reduce load on the grid, so there wouldn't be the need for expensive peak gas generation, reducing power bills for people without battery too. ABC had an article about it.
