Channel Nine screwed me over for the last time yesterday. They can shove their coverage up their candy asses. If I can't attend the GF I will watch it on Kayo on delay. I was late tuning in to Nine-Now for SOO and I had the choice of watching live and missing the first half hour, or starting at...

Never miss a chance to have a whack at the Orangeman, even if you have to make stuff up to do it. Current US federal tax regime (prior to BBB) - standard deduction for a single wage earner is $15000! Under the BBB this goes up to $15,750. I am having trouble working out how someone earning...

They got away lightly. It was deliberate election interference, and the individual or individuals responsible should be charged. $16M is spare change to 60 Minutes, and they probably got $16M worth of publicity out of the court case.

The great Napoleon made some interesting comments about organized religion. Below is one of my favorites: How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an...

The mad mullahs have got to go, they are in love with death and destruction - everyone else's, not their own! If you're not a muslim they want to kill you, if you're the "wrong" kind of muslim they want to kill you, if you're the "right" kind of muslim, they don't care either way - you're just...

What rape scandal? The official inquiry found there was no rape, and it was only a "scandal" because News Ltd wanted to stick it to the Dogs. Some players took what was on offer and JT might or might not have been one of them.

When an article kicks off with "this masthead can reveal...", you can pretty much guarantee it will not be telling you anything worthwhile. Mastheads don't write copy - journalists (so-called) do! And when those journalists have a name you have even heard of, they put that name down on the...

If RFK Jr appoints new people to the committee to replace the ones he has fired then he will be honouring his confirmation promise. Imagine, if you will, that your political party has just won a hard fought and divisive election, and your leader appoints you to a ministerial portfolio. Your...

What have you done with the real @Doogie you imposter? I watched this clip through twice and it shows Trump in a perfectly reasonable light. Doogie only ever posts anti-Trump stuff, you must be operating Doogie's autopen.

About eighty years late. Pollies present themselves as super smart people with all the answers to our problems, but it never ceases to amaze me how dumb they really are. A coalition in opposition is not a coalition at all - just two branches of the one party! It would be far and away smarter to...

In a simple rectal examination, your GP lays you on your side, puts on a latex glove, and sticks a finger in your date. It isn't much fun (probably not that great for the doctor either) but it is over in a second. If you have some history in your family, you can be tested for the BRCA gene...

Well done @Grunthos for posting this. What I find particularly chilling about the Biden diagnosis is that he was POTUS six months ago, and would presumably have had doctors climbing all over him (metaphorically speaking). The rest of us, who have to get by with a once-per-year visit to the GP...

How many balls and of what size do you need to post on an anonymous forum? I wasn't defending Trump and I didn't realize even a terminal TDS sufferer would see it like that. My opinion (which is worth nothing, just like yours) is that what is happening to white South African farmers is...

I am not a spokesman for the US government, nor am I privy to the inner workings of that government. I simply pointed out - not in any disrespectful way - that they were not guilty of hyperbole by calling the South African situation "genocide". I don't know the full story behind the West Bank...

Genocide (is) the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race - Britannica. The process is called genocide, the actual numbers involved do not determine whether or not the descriptor is being correctly applied.
