Humour is the best remedy and satire makes it happen. Wellness won't make it better. The world will be healthier in 2028? (I respond badly to emojis - as an adult, I prefer words.)
Trump wont like this! Reflection Pool 'vandalism' was the fault of the contractor. Someone is about to get FIRED! Oh, it's not The Apprentice... it's for real? It's the governance of the United States of America! You're joking? It's reality tv, isn't it? No. It's the DoJ.
If Steve Glasgow, much respected, can't understand the intelligence of the people who signed the Aukus contract.. it was Scott Morrissen (from marketing), Boris Johnson (from that clown show) and Joe Biden (never say no)! Trump never talks about Biden's success in negotiating the AUKUS deal!
European, with laws and standards and taxes; Brics, Europe and Japan are undermining our currency (soon we wont be able to sanction anyone!); China is just waiting. After all the tariffs, the failed peace deals, the fake awards, WHY DOES NO-ONE LOVE ME? Oh well, there is always MAGA? And Eric?
1/2 Iran wont talk to me because they're jealous of my winning; Russia only phones me because they're losing, I mean bigly now; our Middle East bases - Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi, Jordan, Iraq, Syria - are not happy because Hegseth blew off all our missiles; Europe hates me because - well they're
Senator Ossoff's "fiery speech" criticising Trump, quoting the Old Testament doesn't help. It's more a Jewish thing than American or Christian? Unless you're using that foundation text to justify war, rape, deceit, Zionism and an exceptionalism of imaginary power. Impotent, incompetent and corrupt!
I wonder if Witkoff and Kushner's proposed first trip to Kiev will result in the same epiphany that Laura Loomer has experienced, and finally (like most Americans) join the ranks of the Good Guys? (Now that Trump realises Russia might be losing?)
US had prestige Universities because they had more money, thanks to altruistic philanthropy (in the Baron Robber days). World-class research was enabled by academic immigrants attracted by those resources. Politically distorted ideas re the purpose/value of Universties undermines all US education.
When did once proud Sunni Emirates ever appeal to Israel for Iron Dome protection from Iranian drones and missiles? When US ran out of Thaad/Patriot interceptors, their bases were destroyed, and Centcom ran away!
Republicans win elections because most Americans don't vote? Wow! So much for Democracy? It's not about the apathy? It's about the money! USA is the only country that allows (effectually) unlimited electoral bribery, yet does not require citizens to vote! It's a fascist's dream route to power?
Hannity's eulogy to Lindsey Graham: he must be in a "heavenly version of Mar-a-lago"! You'd have to be Maga, moronic, American-Christian or pedo but not gay to understand that? (Is it where angels are young girls with gold wings and big ugly lips?)
Trump bans Chinese EVs -the cheap, efficient cars that the rest of the world now prefers? And why would that be, unless to protect the right of US car manufacturers (and GOP donors) to charge Americans more for inferior products?
Trump just banned Chinese humanoid robots! And why would he do that except to protect his investment in Elon's crazy dream?
US has depleted its air-defence weapons in the Gulf? Will Hegseth have to buy off the shelf Ukrainian interceptors for thousands, to replace US interceptors (which take years to produce) for millions? How humiliating? Will Hegseth's pride allow it? Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin will not be pleased!
Who reads 'Truth Social' as the 'Lies of a Sociopath'? But what's in a name? Does anything nowadays mean what it claims to mean in America? Defence is War? Democracy's real? The Constitution's sacred? America's hot - well that's true because of Climate Change... which is not?
When Musk claimed space-X would be "worth more than Earth" I guess he forgot to value the people who live there?
Bears hibernate every winter - an evolved survival strategy. My teenage daughter has gone one better - apparently she's evolved a gene which allows her to hibernate all weekend, every weekend. Now that's a survival strategy!
Bernie Sanders rightfully continues to proclaim his impotence. But it's what Americans voted for, and apparently, the constitution doesnt allow for the removal from office of a demented moron unless a corrupted Congress, VP and Scotus agree? Nothing in the Constitution gives power to the people!
Does invocation of the Smoot-Hawley Act, Sect 358?, justify massive tariffs on Canada, or introduce - as in 1930 - a new US-engineered World Great Depression? How long before US runs out aluminium, heavy crude oil, fertiliser, food and cheap labour, money (credit), missiles, health and education?
Maybe the massive Canadian wildfires that are dumping smoke and ash on USA are because global warming - fossil fuel consumption, encouraged by USA - is having a seriously adverse affect on everyone? Like PFAS, that trump has deregulated? Poisons used by US agriculture banned everywhere?
We used to watch US 'satirical' news, like Seth Meyer, Kimmel, Colbert. Now US politics is entertainment, a joke, and only treated as a joke, a platform for 'celebrities'? Billionaire US media and tv has brought us to this. Completing the American cycle of ignorance that started in Grade 1?
If you're American, you can say you want peace, but sell very expensive weapons to one side and use that as leverage for trade with the other? It's call the 'Art of the Deal', or 'Immoral Diplomacy'. Well, it works in Hormuz and Ukraine... doesn't it? [It worked for Ford in WW2!]
I suspect the only reason some Australians (mostly politicians) still respect USA is because we live so far away, don't watch American tv, don't buy much US-made stuff because it's mostly crap, but remain inexplicably in awe of billionaires. Money corrupts even the worst of us?

There are no American immigrants in my family! They were all settlers! And no, there weren't any Indians living on my land! The US Army had chased them away or killed them all. Just like Gaza then?
2/2 Which richest country has the most poor people? Who's got the most guns, the most billionaires, the most prisons for profit? Which country flies the most flags? Please feel free to add to this list!
A quick quiz... 1/2 Which country spends more on debt maintenance than Defence, Home Security, Education, Welfare combined? In which country is Justice administered by a multiple felon? In which country is the Treasurer appointed by a multiple bankrupt? Who thinks tariffs protect local industry?
No one is watching TV in America because all American TV is now owned by billionaire Trump sychophants and it's now not only uninformative and unfunny, it's just bloody boring!
America.. your Constitution allowed this! Blame those rich old tax-avoiders and slave-owners that designed your political system! The genocidal, unregulated capitalists, empire-aspiring and uneducated presidents who followed! Here we are at last.. deep in the swamp and almost $40 trillion in debt!!
I hear that 90% of teens have already found a way to circumvent the Aussie ban on social media? And a lot of baby boomers are now having trouble verifying their age or ID online? How embarrassing - to ask a grand-daughter to verify my age! Thanks Albo for another brilliant peice of legislation!
