Interesting talk from an historian on the radio the other day, about the why civilisations fall. He reckons it's inequality. When a country / city state / whatever has true equality, it's stronger. Everyone has a stake in the status quo. However when you get growing inequality and only those with wealth and power are invested in the status quo, things go bad.

The Maga movement is a far right cult. It's the modern equivalent of the Brownshirts in 1930s Germany. The rest of the USA needs to wake up and fight this movement before it's too late. Their democracy is already fractured by this evil man and his followers. It will shatter completely if they don't stand up to it

Who calls a sparky at 3am? Good luck with that!

Didn't Holden make a ute with that name? Juan Ton Rodeo

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.

They forgot the gag

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?

I like how Dopamine goes "ho ho". -
I hate Tony Abbott too. Doesn't mean I hate all men. Just like I hate Gina Rinehart but not all women.

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".

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.

Everyone sees Trump as a joke.

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.

She could have been right if it was a carnivorous platypus...

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...

If you're stupid enough to buy any Trump merch, sucked in.

And I thought they were conservative. Even the guy in the background picture has got a horn.

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.

Julia isn't a misandrist. She just called Tony a misogynist because that's what he was.

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".

My old boss told me his cunning plan to avoid facial wrinkles was to keep getting fatter.

She inspired a few. It's been suggested that a Dire Straits song "Lady Writer" is about her.
