The Guardian has been all over it

It’s a really good source of news in general, but particularly good for Australian stuff

Also ABC news

And an outfit called SBS

On the bright side, she’s probably the most hated person in Australia

Let them do what she says. It will destroy them

She’s still bitter because of this

Senility

Constant pestering attacks of small and cheap drones at airports would be a massive disruption to Putin

I imagine that better military minds than mine have considered it, but given the cost of cheap drones and the money it would cost Russia, it seems like a relatively easy way to be a headache and cause problems with their international interests

Oh, he was demonstrably horrible long ago

The “Central Park Five” should have disqualified him, but Americans are stupid and hateful as a society, so there is probably no depth to which they will not sink

This should have ended it

But 'Murica has no lower depth. There is nothing too disgraceful, too awful, too hateful

There is no bottom. There is no low to which you will not sink, and then go deeper

He can’t

Because he’s a malignant narcissist

In his mind, he has never done a single thing wrong

Anything that has gone awry is the fault of someone else

He’s a toddler in the body of a sad, fat old rapist

Because he’s weird and ugly, and that shows through physically

Trump wants to hurt people

He hates anyone who isn’t white, and he’s enthusiastic about “cleaning up the streets”

His racism is well documented and goes back a long way

Oh, and he wants to fuck his daughter

At least, the one whose name he has managed to remember…

Oh yeah

Putin has a hold on him because Trump wants to be “manly” like him

Nothing more

He is a bully, and the only thing that inspires a bully is a bigger bully

It’s lost on him that Putin holds him in the same contempt that he himself holds those who he has bullied into submission

Because he’s fucking stupid.

He is probably the most stupid person in politics at a global scale, but he is useful to those who actually tug on the strings of power, and he appeals to enough stupid yanks (and there’s no shortage of stupidity in 'Murica…) with his hate and bluster to be effective

I hope that he gets a taste of the harm he has done throughout his life

All of it.

Yeah,

Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up’s table

Trump wants to be Putin. Putin will always have Trump in his pocket so long as Trump worships him, which he will always do.

It’s showing just how fucking horrible people can be

This is why I like my dog so much

This shit is truly horrifying

The lessons of history aren’t being forgotten, they’re being used by those as a guide for how to do horrible things better this time around

America is tribal

I’ve spent a bit of time there, in several different places

There’s a strong sense of community in most places, but if you aren’t a part of that community, then it’s going to be tough

Even in the civilised parts, greed, selfishness and consumption for its own sake are almost fetishised

The “hustle” is worshipped, whereas everywhere else, it’s seen as madness to celebrate doing more to make some rich cunt even richer, because that’s all that is happening over there

Yeah, the electoral college was founded on the basis that people didn’t have an equal voice, and it has only gotten worse from there. Gerrymandering is so fucked, but of course, it’s legal in 'Murica because some powerful people want it to be

It’s a broken country.

Australia is better than many places, but there are still selfish and ignorant people here who vote against the interests of the nation

I’m just grateful that there are fewer than there are in America

This is fantastic!

There’s a chasm between the law and justice

I’m hopeful that this will help some of these women who did nothing more than to keep themselves alive

There should never be any funding from any government for any religious schools whatsoever, anywhere in the world

Religion holds humanity back, and does nothing but divide us

It was once a source of knowledge, social cohesion, welfare etc. but those days are long gone, and religion has no more relevance than any other mythology

Now it’s about money, power, and keeping people subjugated
