"His numbers are falling, despite being front and centre managing the fuel crisis" is f'n horseshit to placate the wilfully blind 🙄🤬🤡

But as said before, unless National *itself* changes - and they *won't* - we'll just be swapping out one mask for another.

Boot the CoC *ALL* out on Nov 7.

Franklin Graham is an apostate. Pretty sure Papa Billy would issue a firm, but loving backhand if he were here today.

@brettcd.bsky.social

This is a complex issue and I'm making a pithy remark however it is incredible that without strong leadership from central govt we haven't seen "the market" simply step in to "solve the problem".

One of the most emotional Bible stories I remember from Sabbath school is the one where an artist name Jack and a debutante name Rose fell in love with each other while aboard a ship that hit an iceberg and sank.

I cried.

to show respectful submission; yielding to someone else (generally given to someone who has more experience or senior to you); dutifulness

metropia

@metropia.bsky.social

Absolutely appalling how the "mainstream" media treats Marjorie Taylor Greene with such deference. Just because she is now anti-Trump doesn't mean she isn't still an anti-Semitic radical right clown show.
