As the L/NP turns orange what will Albo do?
The Angry Potato, chief Ginacologist¹ in the L/NP coaliphate, is openly t̶u̶g̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶ f̶o̶r̶e̶l̶o̶c̶k̶ bending his knee in the direction of the orange-stuccoed Dementadon. Where does this leave Albo?
¹ If I have to explain this then you're probably in the wrong place.
The US is a global village. Now hosting its biggest idiot.
You'll likely hear the sound of breaking waves if you ever put your ear up to his. Occasionally a cockroach may skitter across behind those piggy eyes, searching for the ketamine that keeps it alive in that otherwise barren space. Words sometimes enter too...only to tumble back out as bizarre twaddle - "the late, great Hannibal Lecter", a riff on the incompatibility of water and magnets, proposing the annexation of Canada and Greenland, extolling the virtues of a cabinet of Star Wars bar scene rejects and so much more, all of it expressed in the vocabulary of a remedial reading class for semi-sentient plant life.
Nevertheless Spud tells us Donny didn't become president for the second time "by being anything other than shrewd" and that he "brings gravitas".
"I think a lot of people ... are coming to grips with it as well as he's a big thinker and a deal maker,"

The Tories' boner for Trump and all things MAGA is now apparent following the success of his biggest grift yet - the 2024 election. The party that claims monopoly ownership of family values, fiscal responsibility, integrity, respect for institutions and law and order would, of course, admire a rapist, convicted felon, insurrectionist, multiple bankrupt, fraud, blatant grifter, habitual liar, moronic bloviating braggart, ignoramus and perjurer, a daughter fondler, a porn star defiling vulgarian and a despot-fawning lickspittle.
"Malignant tuber P. Duddy is far more inclined to pluck Gina Rinehart's chin hairs than he is to openly lick the Orange Dementodon's earlobe à la Trump's fellow hosen scheisse Scooter Morrison...Trump's flagrant egregiousness affords Duddy cover for his own abuses which look defensible in comparison. The Tories watch Trump to learn how to tie a bow on a turd. And the tawdriness of their junk drawer politics, their recreational corruption, can be waved away"
Words I posted just last month have been overtaken by events. Spud is now openly fondling the tangerine ballbag.
Trump's egregiousness, by virtue of the status of the office he holds, gives licence to the dregs of this world to be the awful people they've always been: MAGAe, Rudy Giuliani, Elon Musk, RFK Jnr, Tulsi Gabbard, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu, the AfD et al...and the L/NP.
What began as copy-catting by the Veggie Patch has morphed into open, servile admiration.
Make America Great Again/Get Australia Back On Track populist easy fixes to complicated issues, anti-renewables, slashing the public service, a war on woke, the "radical left", the anti-immigration hard man and the casual racism now includes the cheering on of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The whole Tory ecosystem is on board.
Carb agnostic Mistress Gina has urged her bald, lumpen factotum to "be like Trump”.
Ex-Foreign Minister (the exier the better) the foppish, plummy-vowelled, sago pudding in a suit that is Alexander Curly Downunder told Sky News that Trump's proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza is a “wonderful case of a leader disrupting the status quo”, “Palestinians are so radicalised, I mean, these are Islamists...".
Dutton will be Trump-lite but he's cautious, telling the RWFWs like Alex Antic and the aptronymic Littleproud to leave the anti-Trans, anti-abortion issues off the table until after the election. There's a definite limit to how much Trumpism Aussies will tolerate. And herein lay an opportunity for Albo.
Spineless Castrato said he would not offer a running commentary on Trump's remarks, declining to state a view. That's a tad unfair. As PM, Albo must be careful in how he phrases push back on a US president whoever that president may be. And he has been circumspect. What he has missed though is a golden opportunity to wedge Spud by goading him into a more whole-hearted embrace of Trump and his odious, deranged scheme for Gaza Realty and Ethnic Cleansing.com and thereby exposing him as the toadying, clueless wannabe despot he really is.
They love 'em some fascist discipline do the Tories
"The Germans may be pulling down the Churches, but they have erected the State, with Hitler at its head, into the sort of religion which produces a spiritual exaltation that one cannot but admire and some small portion of which would do no harm among our own somewhat irresponsible population."
Pig Iron Bob Menzies in letter to his sister, 1938
Trump’s re-election has enabled Dutton the chance to play his role of a lifetime. Niki Savva, SMH ($)
"Peter Dutton has been lucky, until now, to be campaigning at a time when feelings mattered so much more than facts. Lucky that securing sympathetic coverage and plenty of it came cheap if you amplified people’s grievances and anxieties."
Trump wants to turn Gaza into the Gold Coast. His motive is blindingly transparent. Michael Koziol, SMH ($)
"The idea the United States would take control of the Gaza Strip, level it and turn it into something approximating the Gold Coast beggars belief, and can barely be taken seriously – except, of course, that it comes from the most powerful person in the world."
Ginacologist, fucking brilliant.
Can I please use it grumpy.
Many thanks Grumpy. Much to contemplate - as usual, and even though the words and actions of many of these coots are well beyond parody, it takes a particular talent to properly skewer them.
Another top article Geezer, any Tory reading this will be scrambling for the dictionary such is their total lack of articulateness. It didn't take old curly long to jump out of the closet with another mind numbing piece. I must say that's a big bottle of bubbles🍾 that Notmyjumper Price is wielding. Thanks again for the laughs, very much appreciated. I do apologise for deleting my last comment on your last post. I truly felt it was a bit close to the bone! Are you with me Geezer,remember the Volvo? 🚘
