  1. Let's not forget that these idiots elected him. Twice. They knew what they were getting the second time. So either they decided they wanted him anyway or were to lazy to vote against him.
  2. They forgot the gag
  3. I don't know why world leaders continue to pander to him. Wouldn't it be better just to ignore the US for 3 years until he goes away?
  4. I hate Tony Abbott too. Doesn't mean I hate all men. Just like I hate Gina Rinehart but not all women.
  5. At least that's not as bad as what a mate's teetotaler parents did. When clearing out a dead relative's house they found a bottle of red wine in a cupboard. As they didn't drink, they used it in a big Bolognese sauce. Label was "Grange Hermitage".
  6. What about the $170b "Golden Dome" missile defence system Trumpy has just announced? Wonder whose rockets will be used for those satellites? It'll turn out to be a shower of shit. "Golden Shower" for short.
  7. Everyone sees Trump as a joke.
  8. They were rooted either way. The Nats are the weird uncle who refuses to do anything about the climate disaster. So the libs couldn't do anything remotely realistic about it. Which is why they lost a shedload of seats to teals and didn't get them back. Their only hope is to drag themselves into the 21st century and run on a truly centrist platform without the culture wars bullshit and the pro-coal idiocy. And for chrissakes forget nuclear, apart from a few die hard enthusiasts no one wants to hear about it.
  9. She could have been right if it was a carnivorous platypus...
  10. Well, if you're retired, single, and want to live like a king with a girlfriend or two half your age on your pension or super...
  11. If you're stupid enough to buy any Trump merch, sucked in.
  12. And I thought they were conservative. Even the guy in the background picture has got a horn.

  15. Well, there's money in the middle east. Despite having more than enough wealth to buy 300,000 families a $1m house each, he wants more.
  16. Julia isn't a misandrist. She just called Tony a misogynist because that's what he was.
  17. Sleepy Donald. He's such a useless arsehole that he's now being judged by totally different criteria than any other president. Any one of the corrupt, self-serving things he's done, if it were anyone else, would lead to impeachment and public excoriation. Now we just see stories like this and think "same old".
  18. Cyclist's revenge. "I'll teach you to drive in my damn bike lane..."
  19. My old boss told me his cunning plan to avoid facial wrinkles was to keep getting fatter.
  20. She inspired a few. It's been suggested that a Dire Straits song "Lady Writer" is about her.

    3rd September I reckon.
  22. Not arguing that the product is good, but it's not done sustainably. Huon Aquaculture recently lost their RSPCA certification and they were supposed to be the good one. Just like mining - they need to do it in a way that doesn't f*ck the environment. Costs more of course but we have a "clean green" image down here which drives the tourist market and the fresh produce. If we don't have that the state is stuffed, so it's nonsensical and short sighted of the government to support an unsustainable business model.
  23. Yeah I certainly wouldn't say it's a ringing endorsement for Labor. It's made their job easier, that's for sure, but they'd be fools to become complacent and not read the tea leaves. For example in my electorate of Franklin a NEW Independent, Peter George, got 42% of the 2 candidate preferred votes, on a platform of mainly shutting down the offshore salmon farms that are rooting the environment and spreading chunks of rotting salmon around the local beaches. Labor has been one-eyed supporting the salmon industry, even though there's only about 26 jobs in it on the west coast from memory. It'd be cheaper to give every employee half a mill to stop working for them than what the government has been spending to prop it up. If Julie Collins (Labor) doesn't take notice of this and start gently steering Albo away from the salmon industry (remember Plibersek as Environment minister was doing her best to make a balanced decision on this but her review was stopped by legislation rushed through to protect the salmon farmers) - then next election Peter George may take more of a voting share, or even the seat. It's exactly the same problem as beset the Libs and look what happened to them. Those Teal independents won, and in general have retained the previously blue-chip LNP seats, exactly because they didn't listen to the electorate's concerns about the environment and still aren't.

    They'll discover it behind the fridge, covered in dust, the day after they throw away the coffin.
