Since the August anti-immigration rallies, roughly a dozen national polls have been published. Every single one places Labor between 54% and 57% on two-party preferred. So no, the issue hasn’t hurt them. Immigration remains a topic of high salience for conservatives, but very

Trump and co are governing like they will never face the will of the people again. That’s not hubris, it’s not delusional, it’s the plan. There will not be free and fair elections ever again

They want to go after "Antifa" because it has no leader, no organization, no bank accounts, etc... This way they can say anyone is Antifa. This way they can do anything they want. That's it. That's the whole Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus/Antifa fantasy. It's to go after YOU.

Watching The Hack. A simpler time when good people held the powerful to account & the bad people took a bit of a blow & then went on to get Trump elected so that if something like The Hack ever happened again it would have a presidential seal of approval & the paper shutdown

the people of Gaza talk of little else but Trump’s suspicious escalator malfunction.

Let Tylenol's lawyers do their work. In the mean time, this vastly corrupt Administration is engaged in the largest government coverup in history. Release the Epstein Files.

Clearly Trump can’t see anyway to make a quick buck out of Oz or any openings to belittle and bully so has no interest in meeting @AlboMP And that is a good thing.

This is only a problem if the democrats are ever in power again. They won’t be. There won’t be mid terms as we knew them or another presidential election. Trump & allies never expect to face an election again
The problem with the “Remember, Democrats could abuse this power too when they’re in charge again” argument isn’t that it is wrong. It’s that it misses the fact that abusing power when your team is in charge is simply wrong on the merits. The same applies to “well, they abused

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.”

Charlie Kirk was an arsehole killed by an arsehole in a country full of arseholes with guns led by a President who is an arsehole enabled by elected arseholes.

It’s crazy how 26 little kids and teachers at Sandy Hook couldn’t change a gun law but the killing of a right wing influencer like Charlie Kirk will likely lead to martial law and the suspension of the mid term elections.
