You've never been in a house built by my Dad then...

It's all related due to the polarising and coalescing effects of misinformation on social media. There were just as many crazies before, but they didn't know each other and couldn't spread misinformation instantaneously. That's why there's never been a Trump-like figure rise to the top of the heap before. His "alternate facts" would have no traction in a world without social media. Fact-checked "real" media would have laughed him out of the race long before he got to the white house. It's also why the rioting is so bad in England - I think it was reported on social media that the arsehole who killed 3 children was an immigrant where he was actually born in England (if I have that right).

Now that's using your noggin.

LOL guess it must be 44 then. That's ok Peter, I obviously can't add up 19+15 anyway...

Possibly a price he's willing to pay to keep it.

149

I like the way the caption covers Long / Wang's midriff too.

As annoying as it is that the fool is still alive, I think it would be better for American democracy if he lives and soundly loses the next election, than be a martyr to his rabid followers who would probably have rampaged and broken it fully if he had been killed. If he fades into obscurity (he'll always have the gong for worst US president ever), then hopefully his influence will fade too. If he were shot at the height of his blustering and rabble-rousing then his name would go down as the patron saint of the republican party. Of course, if he wins the election that's possibly the worst outcome. Followed by a VERY close loss which causes more uprisings.

It may have been moved. The Street View image is from 2015, I just had a look at the satellite view which was copyrighted 2024 and I can't see it. (Maybe that's just me missing it though!)

No problem with disagreement Bruce! My point is simply that citizenship by birth is a happy accident. We have many people born in this country who are a burden on the criminal justice system their whole lives. Can we deport them too?

All the king's horses and all the king's men... said "f*ck him, he's only an egg"

If someone has permanent residency, they're an Aussie. Simple as that. If you want to say that someone's not Australian because they don't like the laws, or the government, then you can probably include most true-blue bogans from <insert dodgy postcode> in that lot. Splitting by country of birth is just nit-picking.

Where did you read it?

I think it was the melons, not the sangers

Sting, that should have said.

Don't expect the Murdoch press to get any better under the heir apparent either. Apparently Rupie is in court somewhere out the back of nowhere (to avoid journalists) trying to get the family trust removed so he can rewrite it with all power to make decisions about the news empire going to Lachie. This is because the other kids are a bit more progressive (ie "normal") than Lachie who's a chip off the ol' block, so if Rupie wants his "news" empire to continue with a decided lean to the right, he has to remove their voting rights, otherwise the news could become (gasp!) balanced.

Oh ok. My attempt at a humorous debunking backfired. I can't remember which of the cars I had, but one of them I had to replace the speedo wire and I'm sure the worm gear was on one of the front hubs somewhere.

I make it 3 Sam <> Deb Rob <> Paul then Paul <> Michelle

Yet more Rammstein... a humorous look at the German colonisation of Africa...

I'm just being a bastard Peter! Pay no attention.

But... The speedo is from a worm drive on the front wheel, isn't it? And that joke's so old it'd have to be a rear wheel drive. So the speedo couldn't show anything if they were spinning the wheels in mud.
