[The Silverdale Phantom]

Trump appoints super pro Israel US rep to United Nations.

If you look into this lady, she gives zero f**ks about what is happening on the ground in Gaza and is quick to claim that any criticism whatsoever is simply antisemitism.

Q: What did sleepy joe do?
A: Blank cheque to Israel

We probably need to wait and see what Trump does before calling it.

You might be interested in this take which has some good observations, although it is far right:


He mentions @Poupou Escobar conservative Latino immigrants.

They have deep seated traditional family values.

She changed her views on Trump. First time he was running she said that she didn't agree with his policies or that he is what America needs.

Now she's all about that Trump business. Could it be that she changed her whole belief system just to keep her job? What a coward.

Maybe @strider can explain this (preferably without a lol).

BTW lady tries not to F-bomb, but she does after about 5 into 9 minutes.

She’s a political animal, happens all the time.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The Green is not asking Penny Wong any questions, she’s just on the attack trying to point score.


Penny pounds her into wokey oblivion.

To suggest Penny doesn’t care about people getting massacred is a disgrace.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

FYI @Gronk y, I’ve written Penny a letter of support over this.

I will post her response (redacted) for you ugly lot.

I see and hear hysterical freaks like this green nerklette and it makes me want to buy a hot chocolate from Max f**king Brenner.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The greeny thinks by publically bullying Penny, Penny is going to agree with her, express remorse and defect from the ALP.

Or maybe pick up more votes in Arabic dominated electorates.

They won’t come over of course, because they are too busy working.

We need to bring in defamation provisions in these events.

I think the Greens and One Nation are feeling are little irrelevant at the moment.

You can't keep white Christians and jewish bankers AND our middle eastern friends in the burbs all happy at the same time. The western suburbs Sydney/Melbourne will bite labor just like Harris felt their wrath in the US elections.

Parliamentary privilege is important.

Good summary of the US election by Arthur Sinodinos. Former Liberal Party merkin who scored himself US ambassador gig during Trump 1.0 -> early Biden.

It might be time for the ALP to run a trumpy style candidate, before Dutton buys baseball caps.

I understand parliamentary privilege but it’s not there to abuse. Under my leadership, I’d impose suspensions for such malicious outburst.

She virtually accused Penny of being one of those illegal settlers. I’m not wearing it.

This will obviously not be a popular opinion amongst many here, but I reckon Penny Wong would make a great PM.
Far better than Albo or Dutton for a start.

Well I agree.

Making it thrice less popular I imagine.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

In Penny Wong’s Australia we will finally get a leader with intellect, strength and an economy to lead the world.

A safer place to bring up our children, to respect families but also each other’s differences.

We will provide in excess of one hundred thousands homes per year to resolve the housing crisis.

We will create thriving regional hubs in all states, create nurturing and people-friendly spaces for all.

We will fix the legal system so that all Australians can access same without fear and favour and without going broke.

We will eliminate attacks on organised labour to ensure a peaceful, safe and prosperous work place.

We will protect men and women from all forms of violence and do so relentlessly.

We will stop the intervention and incursion of the state and not just cut red tape, but set it on fire.

Are you ready to your place in Penny Wongs Australia?!

Written and authorised by me.

I like Penny Wong and would trust her 100%

Here’s a question; can a senator be PM ? How would that work ?

Then, can an asian lesbian be our PM ? Is our country actually that tolerant? Did we learn anything from that plebiscite thingy ?

I'm not sure I want to get into that discussion, but to answer your questions - don't know, don't know, don't know and don't know.

It still doesn't change my opinion of her.
She's the best politician in Australia by a long way.

She’d have to be parachuted into the reps in a safe seat.

I think if she supported the family unit in the campaign, she’d be fine.

I think she believes in good families no matter gender or ethnicity, I think Australians accept that. She’d be fighting off the oppositions slurs though.

Policy, policy, policy.

She could borrow some Trumpy trappings in some ways.

Are you ready to take your place in Penny Wong’s Australia?!

she was asked if she would nominate prior to Albo getting nominated and she said she had no desire to be PM

I read it in an interview a while back

 

[Gronk]

Are our Parliament House doors locked ? Asking for a friend.

 

[Gronk]

Will he actually stop lying?

With that being said, this is unwatchable...and I really tried
