The people like Morrison, Turnbull and now Dutton have been playing at being conservative lite. They have been content to go along with the insanity of the Left, only at a slower pace, in a bid to sneak into office. Not good enough

Dutton's excuse for not quitting Net Zero and the Paris Agreement as per the leader of the free world Trump is that it would cost jobs because of tariffs that would put on our exports.

But, one of the very few decent politicians left in the Coalition, Senator Matt Canavan writes:

“Some people claim that we have to stay in Paris agreement because otherwise our exports would be hit with carbon tariffs.

“The EU is the only region proposing to do this. Their carbon tariffs would impact just 0.11% of our exports.

Banjo,

"That’s a more reasonable tone, mhaze. Less aggressive. Much more compatible.

If you can keep that up, everything will be fine. "

I know is certain circles the stern schoolmarm has a degree of cache&#x302 , but I don't think you can carry it off. So spare me the holier-than-thou schtick.

"Allow me to add that if you could put a damper on your obsession with MAGA your message would be even more palatable."

Yes I get it. If only more people would think like you, we'd all get along much better, eh? Sorry, if I just echoed your views, we'd both be wrong.

"I aspire to pragmatism, free-thinking and a keen sense of justice and humanity. "

Earlier you'd asserted "10. He insisted the 2020 election was “totally rigged.” The evidence and 77 legal cases prove the opposite."

I let it pass at the time, since I couldn't be bothered going over old ground. But the fact is most of the cases didn't look at the evidence. The courts simply said they and/or the plaintiffs didn't have standing to make the case and dismissed it prior to looking at evidence eg the case bought before the Supreme Court by the Attorneys-General of Texas and Florida.

So the evidence for rigging wasn't examined by courts. That's just mere Democrat talking points. And I know that because I make myself aware of the other side's claims.

So claims of being free-thinking aren't compatible with merely regurgitating one sides unevidenced assertions. And that therefore doesn't offer ANY perspective.

Now this is amazing.

Columbia's president announces that his country will not accept illegals deported from the US.

Trump is golfing at the time.

On the 3rd hole Trump sends out a message on Truth Social announcing a range of tariffs and sanctions against Columbian officials.

By the 8th hole, the Columbian president had completely caved in and that not only would he accept these deportations but he's send his own plane to collect them.

And its still week one!!

Special Kudos to mhaze.

And it's still week one?

So what's next?

What else can top a "degrading treatment of deportees.
Transporting shackled migrants in handcuffs, mistreatment
during flights, including physical abuse
and refusal to allow bathroom breaks. Not responding to
requests for explanations?"

I'm sure there will more from the only person who can
"save America".
