Her super power is stringing cliches and worn out phrases together, making them sound like she's answering the question.

Yep. #Trump's making the rest of the world great again.

Good grief, it's an actual surname.

Excellent, thx Bob!

@AvonVilla

They've given up evangelising and converting us to their cults, and seem bent on imposing their beliefs on an entire society, Christian Taliban style.

As I was approaching the polling place at Batemans Bay a liberal operative offered me a pamphlet for what sounded like Andrew 'Coniston'. I corrected him and said, no, and I don't one for Andrew Constance either. One of the Labor hummingbirds told me the Libs had bused in a bunch of devotees of the Brethren religious cult to work on the booths in this very marginal electorate.

That might explain why the drones don't even know the candidate's name. It also suggests to me that there is an undercurrent of American-style right-wing religious activism bubbling away in the dark cauldron of our politics, hoping we can follow Trumpistan down the treacherous path to theocracy.

This chart shows not so much what platforms are trusted, but how gullible are those who use them.

Mike Carlton: "A vote for The Thug is also a vote for the most witless, vacuous, incompetent front bench in living memory: Angus Taylor, Sussssan Ley, Barnaby Joyce, Jane Hume, Michaelia Cash, James Paterson…what an appalling thought."

@jillL

Getting to the stage where there's a dozen parties that are so gross one's sorely tempted to number them all last despite it being an invalid vote.

@kcarruthers

US security infra, and consequently all of us, is comprehensively screwed.

Will always cherish that election where the stall was selling Malcolm Turnovers and Bill Shortenbread 🙂

@iro

Sadly, or scarily, we can't underestimate the Australian voters' capacity for self harm.

@sister_ratched

Reminds of an incident decades ago when newly laid tar stuck to wheels and rolled up under car fenders one hot day on Kooragang Island, Newcastle. Plus this incident 2018 in Qld...
