That's Ok, the bureaucrats sacked can be reskilled to do the farm jobs that the immigrants had before they were deported. It's all coming together.

Nah, it hasn’t triggered me at all. I’m quite used to the snipes and insults. It says more about those people.
No apologist here mate. He can be and probably is all or most of what people say about hime. Like me, they only make judgements from afar. He could be the most downright, honest and caring bloke around…to go with a few minor human frailties
Even the voters know this, and over 70 million just love him for what he is. Go figure. It doesn’t say much for his opponents. Something I tried to tell the TDS plonkers months ago. But of course, they knew better.
But what makes me and others laugh is the lies his opponents spread. Even as far as some of the posters here. They know they’re telling lies but continue to do so.
I’m just refuting those lies and denouncing the liars. As you can see they all get upset about it.
The reality is, some posters take him and his landslide victory personally. Rather than point the finger where it should go, at those that lost it
Bloody great idea, let some of those shiny arsed suits get some dirt u der their manicured fingernails.
That's fine, do what you have to do for your cause, but not sure why you're throwing me into that bucket. As I've said previously, I don't have much faith in governments, I don't think the system is setup for best result, it's purely for short-term policy to gain the short-sighted vote that most people are attracted to (what's in it for me now). In essence, there's not a huge difference between our major parties. I have some more leftish views, some more rightist views, no party represents my views in whole and I don't think they do for anyone who truly thinks hard about what they truly believe.Nah, it hasn’t triggered me at all.

My interest here is purely the antics of one of the most divisive, emotionless, nasty, deceiving, sexist, racist conmen I've ever seen as a public figure in a democratic society and the psychology behind how he he has been able to attain such power and cult-attract so many into his web. I can see how it would be more likely in the US. They have to be, on average, one of the most gullible societies in the world. Whether love him or hate him, many do find it fascinating.
So Elon Musk is in charge if cutting funding to the agencies that are investigating his businesses.
Cant see any issue there.
Seen “experts” come in from the outside to restructure bureaucracies and save money before and it never ends well.
WTF would Musk and Ramasamy know about what a government department has to deliver? It’s laughable.
It’s like Campbell Newman on steroids …that ended well !!
This will either end in failure or a drastic reduction in quality of services. That’s not because there isn’t waste, but that they will attack it with a hammer.

Which agencies are they? Where does it say that? Oh it doesn’t
Oh you trickster Brodders, you’ll have them all froffin at the mouth thinking it was true

What an ignoramus.
Nobody heard of the word trillion.
Nobody heard of executive orders
Few people have heard of a Cat 5 hurricane
Nobody ever heard of a caravan
Most people don't know Lincoln was a Republican
I could watch more but we all know Trump doesn't care for facts so I suppose he didn't know these and many other things. He lives in his own reality distortion field and now gets to inflict it on the rest of the USA.

Can you see anything which isn't spelt out in minute detail for you?
You fail to see that the US President appoints Supreme Court judges in the power they alone have to nominate judges to the Supreme Court.
I suspect you believe that cabinet government does not exist in Australia given that the cabinet is not mentioned in the constitution. Given it is specified in the Australian Constitution that:
The Governor-General may appoint officers to administer such departments of State of the Commonwealth as the Governor-General in Council may establish.
Such officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the Governor-General. They shall be members of the Federal Executive Council, and shall be the Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth.
You must think the ministers in Australian governments are not appointed by the party holding power, no, the constitution says they are appointed by the GG not the party in power so it must be the GG who does this.
You really need to learn how these things actually work in practice before frothing at the mouth and showing your ignorance.
DS
Appoints… power to nominate…one isn’t the other[URL
Talk about getting desperate. Nothing to do with the Australian Constitution as you well know. Stop deflecting.
Get off the bottle. I’d rather be in ignorance than lie about something I know to be a lie. But you have form, when it doesn’t suit your narrative you’re trying to spin.
Just admit you were wrong. Again. Stop trying to weasel your way out. I’m sure people are tired of you rehashing your nonsense.
Here it is here. Even when Presidential “nominations” have been rejected. Read and learn.

Truly a first class moron but hey if Americans want a moron for their president so be it.
There is also a great video of all the things he knows more about than anyone else.
At the moment I am going to laugh at the stupidity, until he does something truly dangerous, which is only a matter of time.
His plan to cut the public sector with a chain saw will only last until the general public get pissed off when their services don’t get delivered or their benefits don’t get paid, or their kids school gets closed down etc etc.
The new US attorney general will be Matt Gaetz. You can't make this *smile* up if you tried.

Na Baloo, he's clearly another freedom fighter against the deep state - see what he said. The accusations are all merely left wing propoganda.
“It’s also funny that the one guy who doesn’t take the corrupt lobbyist and PAC money seems to be under the most Ethics investigations.”
Looking forward to a much more free, open and honest government. All hail Trump.

Banks slash home loan interest rates despite RBA hold: ‘Taken for a ride’
Around 70 lenders have cut at least one variable home loan rate in the past 12 months, despite the RBA cash rate remaining on hold at 4.35 per cent.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has kept the cash rate steady for a year but that doesn’t mean Aussie banks aren’t moving. A flurry of lenders have been slashing their variable home loan rates as the market heats up and interest rate cut expectations near.
Around 70 lenders have cut at least one of their variable home loan rates in the past 12 months, RateCity research found, including major banks Commonwealth Bank (CBA) and NAB. Last month alone, 17 lenders made cuts to at least one variable rate.
But not all customers will have had a rate cut, with many lenders reserving their lowest rates for new customers only. There are 34 banks that have at least one variable home loan under 6 per cent, while one of the lowest ongoing rates is 5.75 per cent.
Dire interest rate warning for millions ahead of RBA call: ‘Until 2026’
https://apple.news/AI_BH0D6nSa2OMwilX7r9Rg
RateCity money editor Laine Gordon said it was a timely reminder for borrowers to check their home loan rate and compare it to what their bank was offering new customers.
“If you are being taken for a ride, then now is the time to do something about it,” Gordon said.
“By all means haggle, but consider making the switch. The sharpest rates are typically reserved for new customers, no matter how good your negotiating skills are, so it’s worth considering refinancing."
RateCity found an owner-occupier with a $500,000 loan and a 7.11 per cent rate could potentially save $12,315 over the next two years by refinancing to one of the lowest variable rates on the market of 5.75 per cent, even after factoring in switching costs.
Gordon recommended borrowers check how much equity they had as this would be important to understanding your refinancing options.
“If you’re an owner-occupier and own at least 20 per cent of your home already, then you’re in the box seat when it comes to rates. Use it to your advantage,” she said.
Some 982,900 mortgages have been refinanced since May 2022, Canstar analysis of ABS lending data found.
Considering the Big Four banks hold more than five million mortgages between them, that means many borrowers are missing out on savings
Several banks have also been cutting their fixed rates, including ANZ who cut rates by 0.25 per cent for customers with deposits of 20 per cent or more last week.
CBA, NAB and Westpac have also made a string of fixed rate cuts over the past few months.

There seems to be a fair bit of a difference of opinion between the RBA and the Banks.
At least mortgage holders may get some relief from the banks. How long it lasts is anyone’s guess. The cost of living (CPI, LCI and WPI) have fluctuated, but most are doing it fairly tough at the moment.
Hopefully for a lot of people, young families in particular interest rates continue to come down. Even if it allows people a brief respite.

‘Your body, my choice’: what misogynistic Trump supporters feel about sexual power | Moira Donegan
Young pro-Trump men have rolled out a creepy, snide and all-too-revealing mantra
I like the last 2 paragraphs of the article in particular, spot on Moira.
This is why it is fitting that Trump, who was found liable for the rape of one woman and accused of sexual assault by two dozen others, was the president to secure the overturning of Roe v Wade; it is why it is fitting that two of the justices who voted to overturn Roe, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, each by more than one woman. It is because the sex politics of the right is not an anti-sex, puritanical politics. It is a politics of sexual domination.
There is no use pretending that this is not what the Trump movement is. And there is no use in pretending that this is not what many of the men who voted for Trump hoped to achieve when they supported him. Much of the pre-election coverage of the gender dynamics of Trump’s campaign has disappeared in the days following the election, and perhaps this unpleasant reality is why: most Americans voted for a man they have every reason to believe is a rapist. For some of them, at least, that was not a liability, but an asset.
