Well if stop the play there () and you read your link he didnt say that at all. But hey, nothing like a good, its for horses bullshit story.

Trump says that the vaccines given to kids are really for horses or some shit.

If you freeze the play there, you’re playing 5/8 for the Semantics.

“When you feed a baby a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines and it looks like its meant for a horse, not a 10 pound or 20 pound baby ... Then you see the baby starting to change radically, I've seen it too many times. Then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right? You and I talked about that a long time ago."

From the guy who had just posted ...............



..................man you just couldn't make this shit up, yet here we are.

Give yourself an uppercut.

Albo spent a year on a culture war, rallying corporations and left wing media to drum up support for a culture war. The voice failed, and now as you can see above in the polls the voters have turned because they care about real world issues that effect them not a culture war. But you still see something in him and his obviously most focused on attempted achievement in a "culture war". It's nice to know you didn't support the culture war and were against The Voice I assume because you won't say otherwise. So, what have you liked about the last few years?

Well seems you are Dally M player of the year in the disinformation stakes.

Or maybe we can just post lies now and follow it up with "or some shit" to pretend its all ok.

Even the dumbest amongst us can see he was making an exageration to make a point.

"A weather station in Tasmania recorded its lowest-ever July temperature as high pressure builds over the state.

"This was Tasmania's lowest July temperature on record, beating the previous record of -12.5 degrees from Butlers Gorge on July 1, 1983.
"Launceston's low of -3.1° degrees on Wednesday was also its coldest July morning in seven years."

We aren't even Net Zero yet!!!! Ffs. When we get there hopefully our Winter's will be even colder than record low (at least since they started recording) temperatures!!!

So an extreme weather event?

 

[the phantom menace]

With rumors of an early election on the way,

No way that Albo will call an early election, imo.

They have a 23 seat majority over the LNP in th elower house, and are governing with 5 seats clear even if all the other parties (including Greens) gang up on them.

The election's due by 27 September 2025, and I reckon they'll run true to time. Whether Albo stays on as leader for that election is another matter entirely, and if not it's possible a smooth handover is staged around May or June.

 

[the phantom menace]

Guns represent freedom and safety to a lot of people, and if you’ve ever been in lawless parts of the world you will have seen the truth of it.

But we're talking about civilised Amerika here, not those other places.

But I wouldn’t even go camping in the bush without a gun, and if you’re smart neither would you.

Seriously? I guess that elderly campervan guy who was recently shot with his own gun agreed.

 

[the phantom menace]

Twenty seems like overkill though

Yes, I find it hard to believe justifcation can be found - even on farms or in the bush - for any merkin to own/keep more than two guns.

Agree total BS. He's hoping for two + interest rate cuts before he goes to the polls.

I have said for weeks that all governments across the world are struggling to get re-elected because of the cost of living pressures. You can spin that into "Albo is a dud" all you like, but the facts remain that global inflation is a thing and out of our control. Most countries have already entered the downward interest rates trend, however as always, we are a quarter behind them down under.

I concede that Albo is probably not the best salesman at defending his government and he certainly is not inclined to hold pressers and make outlandish claims or flat out lie.

So... thoughts on the Tenacious D split and joke that caused it?

Tenacious D's remaining Australian concerts cancelled amid Trump joke controversy

Jack Black says he no longer feels it is "appropriate" to continue the Tenacious D tour as the internet erupts over a controversial joke at the band's recent Sydney show.

www.abc.net.au

 

[hineyrulz]

Had tickets to Tenacious D tomorrow night, tour is now canceled after the comments made by KG the other night. Bands future in doubt apparently.

Jack Black is purely protecting his brand which is understandable, once this blows over they will tour and record again.

This is one of those free speech vs woke cancel culture moments. What side you are on, depends your politics, who said it and what it was about.

My blood still boils about how this lady (Australian citizen) was literally run out of the country for this.
