He is a disgraceful embarrassmnt. Infantino, too.

CPAC is dead.

Day 3 of the grand intellectual pageant features Bridget 'Spreadsheets' McKenzie, Pauline Hanson freshly disembarked from her Italy sojourn with Gina, and introductions from a former UK PM who lost a battle of endurance to a lettuce.

This is just Trumpist style nonsense. In financial year before last Election, just over 160,000 people got citizenship. Every one of them would have received their first OZ visa or their permanent residence visa under a Coalition Govt.

Did he include the bit where he nearly sent the country broke during Covid lockdowns by giving the Gerry Harvey's of Australia billions of dollars they weren't entitled to with no claw back clause and every day berated and blamed us Victorian's for it eventually losing his seat.

How pathetic is Sen. Thom Tillis?

Tillis: Because of my deep respect for the survivors, I won’t vote for Blanche unless he meets with them.

The survivors: Well, we had a meeting and Blanche was totally unhelpful, dismissive, and disrespectful,

Tillis: I’m good.

In other news, Einstein was dumb, Usain Bolt was slow, Mozart was tone-deaf, Shakespeare was illiterate and Neil Armstrong was scared of heights.

Truly honoured and humbled to be attacked by @trussliz at her 🇬🇧 MAGA conference. Spreading the news here because there weren’t that many people there in the room at the time apparently

Remember folks, Trump filed 62 lawsuits claiming election fraud or interference, and he lost every single fucking case

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

Not quite
Harold Holt was the prime mover at the beginning, both as Immigration Minister under Menzies, then as PM.
Gough was the bulldozer to mostly finish the job, with Malcolm Fraser tidying up, while completely endorsing it.
Pauline Hanson historically out of her depth.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

You released from prison election denier and interferer Tina Peters, overruling your own Executive Clemency Advisory Board and then firing two members who spoke out against you. Peters ran straight to Trump and Bannon and has shown no remorse.

So you lost any credibility you may have had to lecture anyone on anything.

Do you stand with Jon Ossoff against Trump? Yes 👍 No 👎

This is Houla, South Lebanon — before and after Israel’s genocide.

An ancient village that stood for more than 2,000 years.

Israel wiped it off the map.

A war crime. A crime against history.

I refuse to call Donald Trump president until he proves that his elections were fair.

And if they were fair then we don't need no effin Save America Act.

See how it works, MAGA. You can't change the rules when you're losing.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

Brilliant. Deserves wide circulation!

[Jesus Chrysler @JesusChryslerII]

It is so mind-numbingly stupid, even for him, I had to fact check. He said it!
