So you're visiting Queensland Parliament House?

Yeah well I normally chew some ironbark into a cud and knock back a swig hot off the billy but Jen asked so nicely

Not sure where Carney stands. He talks tough but if he really means it he should not be supporting an illegal war which was only declared to distract people from Trump's paedophilia.

They're not trying to be the good guys folks.
They've been empowered to do as they please.
There is no point appealing to their sense of conscience.
They need to learn that there are laws and laws apply to them.
SCOTUS disabling the rule of law from the top down has been its single greatest failure

disappointing from both of them.

Trump is not asleep.
He is at heart reckless.

It would seem that he is at heart, a banker. A very competent banker mind you, but with a moral compass calibrated to taking care of money, not people.

I think the early pigments available were limited. The Phoenicians/Greeks discovered the bright purple dye from predatory sea snails which became the colour of emperors. Carmine red (from the cochineal beetle) came to Europe from South America in the 1500s.

Folks, he's a Nazi. You voted in a Nazi.
He's gonna party like it's 1939.
Please stop him.

My worry is that he is at heart a banker - a very, very competent banker, mind you - but a banker. Will he do what's best for his people or what's best for the money?
The two are often not the same, and we really do need strong moral compasses at the top right now.

I have mixed feelings about Carney. I think he's astute and articulate, and he's certainly made some powerful speeches, but not sure about his true moral compass, and whether he actually walks the talk.

Apologies, I'm old, had to Google the meme.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't forced (I don't think anyone in this cohort is) but otherwise that's pretty accurate

You can be pretty sure the Trump apparatus hasn't been 'waiting until the midterms'

"It is working?"
"Ask me a question that i would normally lie to"
"Are we gonna die?"
"Yyyyup"
"I'd say it's working"

Everyone's airway is different, different solutions may work for different people.

If I recall Paddy Chayefsky wrote the screenplay

There's a rude dad joke in there somewhere but I haven't had my coffee yet

Agreed. But if your partner has to nudge you because your breathing has stopped for more than 20 seconds, and that's happening multiple times every night, maybe see a doctor.

"How do you know?", he asked.

If folks drop enough nukes to trigger a nuclear winter that might hamper solar.

When Putin threatened to deploy nukes in Ukraine a couple of years back, people speculated that he was the kind of old madman who, if he knew he was going to die, would be quite happy to take the rest of the world with him.
Trump is as likely to do just that, if not more so.
