[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@xskinn Yes ..hard to know for me who to support. I am a cockroach born but now a Melbourne storm supporter 🤣

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@xskinn Great game!! ❤️ Really did not know how that was going to play out. What did you think?

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@xskinn Sorry Ian he is sent off 😌

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@MayneReport Who are you paid by? Why keep reposting?

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@akapoodlepower @colonelhogans @JRWeaver55 Julie I too have worked for 40 years and paid all my taxes but won't be able to claim a pension from the government unfortunately!

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@colonelhogans I was trying to understand your frame of reference that leads you to this opinion. Guessing that you get a pension from the government maybe?

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@colonelhogans @AlboMP @JEChalmers Can I ask Rick what do you do to make a living?

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@JEChalmers Hey Jim! Where is your money? Cause it seems it's a little hidden!

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@Trixie_Boo Hi Reezy I don't have balls ..but this budget doesn't help my parents on the land struggling, doesn't help us Gen X working into our 60's and doesn't help my working kids getting a home 😪 I hate liars!

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@colonelhogans Come on Rick ...I am a labor member and it gives nothing to my working kids, it gives nothing to hard working people!

I cannot unsee this.
I've been watching Trump answer questions for years. The confidence. The certainty. The way he shuts down a room. I genuinely thought he was one of the sharpest communicators alive.
Then one day I caught myself finishing his sentence before he said it.
Not guessing. Knowing. Word for word. Before he said it.
So I pulled the transcripts.
Press conferences. Interviews. Sprays. Egg prices. Greenland. January 6th. Military strikes. Different years. Different reporters. Completely different topics.
Same thing every time.
Every single time Trump is asked a question — any question — he runs the exact same 7 steps. In the exact same order. Without exception.
This is not personality.
This is not confidence.
This is not charisma.
This is a deliberate repeatable formula. And I can prove it.
His actual words. Public record. Verify every single one yourself.
📷 STEP 1 — KILL THE QUESTION
(First thing every time — make the question itself the problem.)
📷 "That's a stupid question." / "Fake news."
📷 STEP 2 — KILL WHO ASKED IT
(Destroy the source so the question has nowhere to stand.)
📷 "Your ratings are terrible. Nobody watches your network."
📷 STEP 3 — INSERT HIMSELF
(Every topic. Every time. Without fail. It always lands here.)
📷 "Nobody has ever done what I've done."
📷 STEP 4 — SCALE IT TO THE BIGGEST CLAIM POSSIBLE
(Not good. Not great. The greatest. Ever. In history. Every single time.)
📷 "More than any administration — by far." / "Nobody has ever had crowds like I've had — in history, for any country."
📷 STEP 5 — UNNAMED PEOPLE AGREE
(Faceless. Countless. Unverifiable. Always there.)
📷 "Smart people are saying it. Great people. A lot of people."
📷 STEP 6 — VAGUE THREAT
(Something bad will happen. Never specified. Always implied.)
📷 "All hell will break out." / "They know it. Believe me."
📷 STEP 7 — LOOP BACK TO HIMSELF
(Different words. Same destination. Formula complete.)
📷 "It's been an amazing period of time. Page after page of accomplishments."
The question was never answered.
The formula just ran.
Go back and watch any clip.
Any year. Any topic. Any reporter.
Count the steps.
I'll wait.
This is the part nobody wants to sit with:
Real conviction engages with the actual question. It sometimes stumbles. Sometimes says I don't know. It changes shape based on what's in front of it.
A formula runs the same 7 steps whether the topic is war or egg prices.
Which means the response was never built for the question.
It was built for you.
To feel powerful. To feel certain. To stop you from noticing that nothing was actually answered.
And it worked.
For years it worked.
Pull any transcript. Public record. Count the steps yourself.
This isn't about politics.
This is about what you were never supposed to notice.
I've found the same deliberate pattern running in another major figure in this administration. Different slots. Same principle. Same effect.
Next post I break it down.
Follow or miss it. VIA~~ Jamie Hoo

@colonelhogans Why does she have to say that she is the most bullied woman for 10 years!

[ChickenSoup @ChickenSoupMel]

@xskinn Go Storm 2026 ⚡⚡⚡

@ExposingNV So sad that this appeal was lodged on the 2 year anniversary of the sexual assault!

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Josh asks how they went to the Philippines.

About 200k Australians do every year, including his colleague George Christensen, who went 28 times without scrutiny.

The only person known to ASIO was cleared under the govt Josh sat in, so what would trigger extra monitoring?

[Wazza from Melbourne @Melbourne_says]

Labor wins government.

Peter Dutton is history.

Thank you Australia. #ausvotes

[Jim Chalmers MP @JEChalmers]

Josh Frydenberg and I had our differences, but we agreed to debate them robustly and respectfully at the National Press Club during the last election campaign.

If Angus Taylor squibs a debate with me there this time around, it will prove beyond doubt that he and the Coalition have either vacated the field on the economy, or they don’t want to come clean on their secret cuts. 🐓 🐓 🐓

When Peter Dutton and the Coalition release the nuclear ‘costings’ later this week, don’t get distracted from what’s really at stake.

America…it’s like watching the Fall of Rome. There is no other democracy, from Norway to New Zealand, which would elect as its leader a rapist, felon, liar, ignoramus, misogynist, vindictive bully and charlatan.
