Assuming it got that far, and that’s a huge assumption, she would never get past the Senate. The two sides are evenly matched there and the tie breaker is the VP, but there wouldn’t be a VP so it is a stalemate at best.
Further, Clinton has a large amount of vengeful enemies on both sides of the aisle. She burned up a massive amount of Dem goodwill when she ran for Pres. Such as screwing Bernie Sanders for the nomination. I just can’t imagine Bernie voting yes for her to become the de facto President.
Not getting it done before the mid-terms will make it absolutely impossible.
We’re heading for three strikes.
Unless there is a rule preventing “Kampala “from unlocking the 50/50 split (and there very likely isn’t) then the Demons actually do have a majorities with her vote breaking deadlock. I very much doubt the constitution wouldn’t allow her to break the 50/50 split in this specific area as it’s too arcane.
Mmm…we played a not insignificant role in the fall of the Ottoman empire, there is that.
Any future POTUS candidate must undertake a complex ceremony which includes the now traditional ‘Ascension of the Stairs’ ceremony. Points are awarded for complexity of falling upwards.
Other ceremonies include the Cellar Hiding. Points awarded for how long a candidate can avoid press conferences , scrutiny or any voter interaction
The finale being the mastering of eating an ice cream and regaling a story about the thing with the guy and ….you know. .. corn pop …hairy legs.
Bernie would if the cheque was big enough, like the last two times.
To the Householder, return to sender, gone no address. If it was meant for me it would have had Professor GreyRanga in the title.
Zat, that’s an assumption we can’t make. It’s not like Kampala is dead and we’re talking about the Demonrats so they would do anything that’s possible in order to improve their position. It’s not like they don’t.
Kampala wouldn’t resign and she would be still VP as she is voting for her replacement. I’m pretty sure this would be allowed. It’s out there, but is there anything constitutionally that would prevent this? I don’t think so.

This is why they should never have been given the vote.

Yet they now vote and mouth off like this.
The fact remains you old loudmouth, if no one had capitulated, we would now be free.
You worrying stupidly about your job when not understanding that by complying to this bullshit, not only will you lose everything up to and including your life, but you’ll be putting others in concentration camps etc.
That is why I got so angry at the start and remain so.
The squealing of the Karens meant capitulation was inevitable.
We all go to our graves.
I’m going to mine knowing I didn’t do anyone else harm by submitting to tyranny.
And if all had not submitted no one would have lost their jobs at all and we wouldn’t be staring into the abyss now.
That’s just a fact.
You kept your job for 6 months or so, and in doing so , chucked others in the concentration camps and helped bring on a digital tyrannical nightmare where you’d wished you hadn’t submitted.
I make these points that are obvious to anyone with the slightest grasp of history and isn’t an emotional f/wit like Joanna here.
So in essence, I was talking to the men.
Oh, I’m not looking for supporters here Joanna.
I’m just putting a point of view out there.
Like it or lump it.
You saved your job, but you lost your freedom, your nation, your wealth and all else in doingfso, and most likely your life from these poisons.
I’m well aware some desperate to see dying relatives may have had to submit, for various emergencies, but all in all, a healthy, male dominated society would have seen 80 plus percent of people disobey and the men would have been on the war path immediately.
But an emasculated nation are we.

It’s not only jobs/income/house /everything that is at risk, in many instances it is emotional support from friends and family, as has been illustrated almost daily on the Cat.
But still the armchair warriors call for more. Fine, if you’re in a position to offer more; if you are reasonably self-sufficient, or your family and friends are of like mind. But these warriors push to divide society and break families, in very best Marxist style.

Re ‘New States’, Tim Quilty from the Vic LDP has been working on a new state that would encompass the bottom half of NSW and all of Vic, excluded would be greater Melbourne and Sydney which would become city states. He’s been holding meetings around the area to see if there’s interest. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem be much, the media have completely ignored and the major parties are like Sgt Shultz. It’s a great idea but why isn’t anyone interested?
Wow! How’s your dildo been working out for you USSR? Are you keeping it clean? What I’ve said is that people can make their own choices regarding the vax. If you can’t comport with that then go clean your own dildos and stop worrying about anyone else.

I like the way that capitulators and their enablers have infinitely more RAGE at people who still haven’t taken the jab yet then they do at their oppressors.

There were posters being put up around Sydney with an old (late 19th century?) picture of a Middle-Eastern chap. Underneath was the one word “Aussie” written in white against the coloured background. I am guessing he was one of the Afghans who came to Australia when camels were introduced – would have been a hell of a learning curve without them, ill-tempered smelly brutes that camels are.
I expect they were British subjects like everyone else.
I used to toy with the idea of using white paper and glue to turn the ‘A’ into an ‘M’. Not that I have a problem with those old camel drivers. They came to Australia before the welfare state or expecting their customs had to be elevated for Multicultural reasons. Probably just did what they did. Probably likeable blokes. May well have married local women and settled down.
Just distaste for the ‘lesson’ the poster seemed to be pushing.
For the same reason dopey fuckwit vaxtards swallowed the government vax Kool-Aid without question.

Typical. Another way to kill us.
I said a couple of months ago that eventually the worst persecutors of the ‘un-jabbed’ will be a lot of people who felt forced to get ‘jabbed’, rather than vaxxination true believers.
Not yet, but give it six or twelve or eighteen more months and a couple more forced ‘jabs’ and the resignation that in reality they’re never actually going to do anything differently, will be easily turned to hate towards those few ‘crazies’ remaining that do refuse to yield, and altered their lives and sit in the ‘quarantine’ camps / prison / gutter or whatever rather than give in.
As night follows day, you watch. It’s in the nature of these type of things.
We’re already seeing the shift from ‘don’t anyone get jabbed!’ to ‘don’t you dare tell people to hang in there and not get jabbed, it offends me because I gave in so HOW DARE YOU SPEAK YOU CRAZY!’.

Probably the first “lone wolf” terror attack on Australian soil.
Mental illness was not considered a causative factor at the time.
IMO, this whole Harris resigning as VP thing is a combination of wishful thinking and click bait. Yeah, her popularity is in the toilet. Well tough, that doesn’t get you a mulligan.
So what does her resignation letter say? “I’m resigning, but not until Clinton is voted in to replace me?” Well no Kamala, you resign and once there is a vacancy we’ll have a vote to fill it. That’s how it works.
Might the Dems try it? I put nothing past them, but you can bet on it going to the SCOTUS for a decision. Which of course delays it even further, like past the mid-terms which makes it truly peeing into the wind. Meanwhile Harris keeps whiting out her resignation date and putting another in?
However, there are a few more realities to consider. Like how Biden is going to perceive all this maneuvering to oust his butt. He may be stupid but his people aren’t. At least not in the machiavellian sense. Does anyone really think he/they are going to let that assassin into the house?
How much the Dems want to piss off the voters? Forcing Clinton into office by yet another underhanded stunt isn’t going to play well. She has long since burned her political collateral and some people are badly misreading her supposed popularity at this point and underestimating the lengths that people on both sides of the aisle will go to in order to keep her away from the White House.
Not to mention that Wussiagate is still slowly unravelling and she’s up to her neck in it. So is the US ready for yet another impeachment fiasco? I think not.
As to Newsom, he barely hung onto the governor’s chair during the recall election in California and that by massive statewide vote fraud. There is no chance of mail-in vote fraud in the Congress and he’s a freaking far-left nutcase, the last thing the Dems want/need in a WH they are trying to pull back to the center-left.
That’s gobbledegook.
Is it intentional?
LOL. By the time those morans are on their 5th or 6th booster they’ll be too busy trying to survive the side effects and dealing with their damaged bodies to worry about us. No, they will be going after the government.

Sad to bid these birdies goodbye, although one is staying behind in the nest, at the Fighter World Museum at Williamtown.
Indeed. He was not warning us about what God was going to do, but man.
I also like the fact that while he was a socialist he could also see its danger.
If he was suddenly transported through time and found himself with his thoughts from then in the world of now, would he still be calling himself socialist. The things that I expect spurred his ire would have been things like plight of the working and lower classes, their degraded living conditions and denial of opportunity, the entitled elite, their contempt for ordinary people, their pretenses that their position is a matter purity rather than money or contacts, etc.
A 1940’s leftist may well be a 2020’s rightist.
Not opposed to asking people to hang in there just not to demonize them. Motherhood statements and bravado is easy on the internet.

It’s remarkably similar to the “Working Towards The Fuhrer.” concept.
Australia has ~220 million more ‘jabs’ coming over the next 2 years at minimum. Let’s call it 6-8 per person. That’s six more rounds of what they’ve just done – the mandates, the pressure, the coercion, the exclusion, the threats.
So if you’ve taken the jabs already because you felt forced to, you’ve bought some time. But if you’re not using this time to fortify your mind and family and life (leave Victoria would be a minimum good start I’d say) and found your god in preparation for the coming two+ year campaign of ‘jab’ mandates and coercion that you’re going to have to resist with the same and worse pressure that will be brought to bear than was this time around…
I mean, what do you expect people to say? This isn’t ladies night, we don’t have to play pretend to spare people’s feelings.
Some people are fooling themselves, maybe on both sides of the ‘jab’.
Let’s all hope and pray that the protests and political pressure grow and can make this go away before we all get in too deep right? But let’s not lie to ourselves about the reality and situation we’re all in – because that’s what ‘conservatives’ did for fifty years and look where that whole thing ended up.
The thing that surprises me about Clinton is that they haven’t even given her some sort of consolation prize.
“Indeed. He was not warning us about what God was going to do, but man.”

Zatara – Buttigieg is currently waltzing around waving his frilly pink panties on a stick saying LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME. Despite his abject failure on supply chain snafus. And three months hiding doing nappy changing. So I think there’s real undercurrent that Kamala may be given the boot.
Interestingly Matthew McConaughey has just announced he’s not running for Texas governor. Timing of which is intriguing since he’s a full on lefty and has charisma in shedloads.

I wonder?
When a nomination for appointment is submitted in the US it is voted for in the House and the Senate separately with simple majority rule deciding in each. Non passage in either house is a failure of the nomination.
Joint sessions of the US Congress do not serve a legislative function. No resolutions are proposed or votes taken. They are generally ceremonial in nature such as for the President’s State of the Union address.
A 90-minute gun battle followed, during which armed members of the public arrived to join the police and military.
Still a bit of sanitisation required on Wikipedia. I have read a better account somewhere, will try and locate it.
Traditional Left Right thinking has predominantly been about labour and returns to labour. The modern labour market and the effect of technology on the returns to capital have made traditional divisions unrecognisable. Hence the rise of Howard’s Battlers and UK voting patterns. Moving away from labour markets, I would challenge people to find any real distraction in practice between the branches of the UniParty.

That’s true, but is there a rule Kampala couldn’t break the 50/50 rule by voting for own replacement in the senate? I think she could. In any event that wouldn’t be needed because some GOP’er will break ranks. The traitorous bastards.
Yes, Ed, I am aware that Teflon is no longer used for non stick cookware. It was quietly retired. After half a century. I must have quite a significant fluorine content in my cell membranes by now! I can tell you that it didn’t turn me into a righty though because I always have been. History in school put me right off leftism at an early age. And the behaviour of lefty ferals on campus was the utter coup de grace.
THE NT’s Director of Public Prosecutions has sought advice on potential criminal charges against Channel 7 over the broadcast of a documentary relating to the upcoming murder trial of NT Police officer Zach Rolfe.
The program, 7 News Spotlight: Life and Death, aired late last month and touched on issues around the high-profile trial over the shooting death of 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker in Yuendumu in 2019.
On November 5, Chief Justice Michael Grant flagged that the court had become aware of the program, as well as “various material posted on the Daily Mail website”.
The Spotlight episode was not broadcast in the Territory but Chief Justice Grant said it was later posted on “various platforms which can be accessed from the NT”.
“Now those publications are potentially in breach of suppression orders, I understand, which had previously been made by Justice (Dean) Mildren and the Full Court but also potentially — I say potentially — in breach of the sub judice doctrine,” he said.
On Monday, acting NT DPP Nick Papas QC said he expected to receive formal advice on whether to lay contempt charges within the next three weeks.
“I have instructed the Solicitor for the Northern Territory to advise me with respect to potential contempt proceedings arising from the program,” he said.
“Those proceedings are presently being formalised and I expect that process will be completed in the next two to three weeks.
“I do not propose to discuss the prospective arguments or otherwise provide any further detail about the alleged contempt. If the matter proceeds the issues will be considered by the court in due course.”
Channel 7 did not respond to a request for comment on Monday but a spokesman for the network told the Sydney Morning Herald any contempt charges would be “selfish political folly”.
“Seven does not have an NT broadcast licence and the relevant Spotlight story was deliberately not played in the NT and was not put online in deference to the fact that the criminal proceedings were under way,” he said.
“Apart from ignoring Seven’s respect for the court process and conventions, it would appear to be an attempt to intimidate and cut away from free press reporting on a matter of wide public interest that does not concern the trial.
“Regardless of the cost to the NT taxpayers of this selfish political folly, Seven will defend any proceedings launched. We will stand behind our journalists and not allow them to be muzzled outside the NT.”
Media outlets can be held in “sub judice” contempt for publishing material that could influence a potential future jury in a case before it has been resolved by a court.
The trial is due to begin in February.
Brilliant on point answer to a retarded question by a retarded reporter.

The traditional Left Right divide is rarely a useful way to think about things today.
I believe it’s even starker, but you first, explain why you think that?”
I’ll try to explain…..here’s an example. Last night I posted a link to a discussion that was uploaded yesterday by the wonderful Peter Whittle, who hosts the superb youtube channel The New Culture Forum. Peter is a gay UK conservative ex-politician. In the discussion, Peter interviewed his old friend, the equally wonderful and outspoken Julie Burchill, one of my favourite British journalists and commentators.
Burchill is Bristol raised, solid working class. Both her parents were communists……she knows poverty, she knows the British working class. Burchill has just written a book which I am going to buy called “Welcome to the Woke Trials. How #Identity Killed Progressive politics”…this book is a scathing rundown of the grotesque left-wing censorious woke running amok in the west. She is contemptuous of the new left. Why? Because as Burchill says, the left is now full of privileged woke middle class scum…people who went to private schools, children of professionals, children of wealth…they know nothing of the working class. As Burchill says, whilst she is still working class and left-wing, she’ll vote Conservative but she’s voting about cultural and social issues. She thinks most utilities and corporations such as banks should be nationalised….she would abolish the monarchy and so on. But she’s proud of her country, she believes in borders, she’s a passionate defender of Israel, she bravely says that there are only two sexes and so on. Burchill voted for Boris and the conservatives in 2019 and she watched in amusement at how the red wall collapsed for UK Labour….she understands why people have deserted the party and they’re not in any hurry to return….why would they? To be daily scorned, smeared and ridiculed as “white supremacists, xenophobes, racists, Islamophobes, dumbos, and so on by the middle class scum running Labour. It’s no different here, just look at the Labor party and particularly the Greens.
I think Burchill is a good example of why the old left/right labels just don’t work anymore.
Confusing isn’t it?
There are two houses in the US legislature (also known as the US Congress).
The junior one is known as the House of Representatives, Congressmen serve there.
The senior one is the Senate. Probably should have been called the House of Senators but they ran out of ink.

If she hasn’t resigned there is nothing to vote on. So no, I don’t think she gets to vote on her replacement but it’s also never come up before that I’m aware of. If the Dems insist on trying it I suspect it goes to the Supreme Court for a decision to clear it up.
The Dems don’t get a mulligan just because they are toxic.
Truth is, at first it was the idea of holidays and some such perks that seduced, before any job threats appeared on the vaccination horizon.
Not too long ago, maybe 3 months or so, a truly fine friend urged me to get vaccinated so that the state could reach 70% and we could have family from overseas come visit. Those were the days.
Julie Burchill is a Stalinist Hack, and a Toff.
Willie Brown publicly advised Harris not to accept the Vice Predidency, but to hold out for Attorney General.
She obviously didn’t listen, now she’s gone from Senator in a Blue State to nobody, with less than a year as Vice Prtesident [not worth a pitcher of warm piss] in between.
LOL. Lost me at ‘gay conservative’. An oxymoron by definition hahahahaha
If anybody believes Vice-President Harris gets to vote on who may replace her as Vice-President, they may benefit from actually reading the 25th amendment to the Constitution of the USA.
They won’t have to read far, it’s fewer than Fifty words in (including headings)
They seem to me to be about governmental agenda. ‘Left’ as in socialist or communist government, and ‘Right’ as in the opposite government style agenda (which has become solidified as Nazi fascist). Left and Right describe two kinds of statism.
It does not include nations where there is less government agenda – free democracies.
With ‘Left’ you can predict attitudes and actions of nations as they are implemented by government. Same with ‘Right’. Democracies are harder to predict since it is not a government ‘philosophy’ that governs attitudes and actions. Properly, and even formally, the US and the UK (as they were at the time of the actual Left/Right contest) were neither Left nor Right. They fought the Right (with their noses pinched in alliance with the Left) and almost immediately after the war squared off against the Left.
But since the Left did not start and lose a hot war they were able to define ‘Right’ as basically anything not Left. And with a strategy too. Everything not Left was now Right. Free nations could thus be depicted as a style of Nazi. Islamofascists, actual Conservatives, Libertarians, Aristocracies etc were all ‘Right’, despite having such fundamental differences.
The need for an umbrella term to distinguish itself from ‘Left’ has lead to the adoption of ‘Right’ for Conservatives and Libertarians, blithely accepting the Nazi baggage which is clearly labelled ‘C/- Statists’.
We really do need another term under which there will be different schools of thought, but with which points of agreement can be argued without the cringe that ‘Right’ invokes.

Also quite a low risk way of very rapidly becoming obscenely rich. I wonder what Mr Sandmann’s portfolio is bringing in pa? Lawyers too with CVs in hand should be lining up around the block of Rittenhouse’s house, if they have any sense.
The co-opting of the homosexual lobby was largely a marriage (no pun intended) of convenience. I would put most politically active gays into the useful idiots category. It was largely just another stick to bash Abbott, if one was needed.
Unfortunately, the organization that wrote that tripe, ‘Mecha de ASU‘, are a small group of college student aspiring ‘revolutionaries’ at Arizona State University who were obviously hunting for some notoriety/publicity. I doubt they have two pennies to rub together.
What they apparently do have is a charter from the University. So that may be Kyle’s best target.
LOL. Oxymoron haha.
Oh and one of the best conservative thinkers in the world is gay…Douglas Murray.
..
..
I don’t think taking cock up the backside counts as traditional, cautious or moderate.
But then, maybe people are going with the more free dick wheeling definition of “conservative” which includes drug addled sex traffickers and slave traders, as long as they give the nod to free markets.
Oh yeah, I have some magic beans for sale too. haha
Perverts taking penis up the anus have ZERO claim to any form of conservatism.
I reckon Andy Ngo is braver than any of the fuckwits above.
The Right is about small, unobtrusive government.
The Left is about government control, collective action and central planning.
It seems obvious to me that it’s still useful under the current circumstances.
That some on the Left don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not Left inspired, it just means they don’t like the shit they’ve been selling for years, when it lands on them. It’s an awakening of sorts.
That some on the Right are supporting it, doesn’t mean that it’s associated with the Right, it just means those maggots are actually leftists.
Left and Right is still still a useful and appropriate divide, it’s just that who belongs in what camp is a little mixed up currently. We’re slowly sorting them out.
I always though that John Gorton was the last true Australian Prime Minister, in a way Bob Hawke merely pretended to be.
Next thing you know, someone will be claiming Milo Yiannopoulos is a conservative.
NOPE! He’s a disgusting pervert.

Quite so.
Gorton was a total dumbarse, even Tony nAbbott made a better fist of the job.
His nickname wasn’t Bungles for no reason.
Anyone who thinks gays a ‘normal’ are NOT conservatives.
JC:
This scenario was discussed early last year.
I see no reason why it wouldn’t be applicable today.
Feelthebren:
Exactly. There’s no telling what the mid terms will do to the US polity.
Funny, I always knew his nickname as “Jolly John ” – he liked a few drinks and a pretty face. That’s the first I ve heard him named “Bungles.”
..
One doesn’t have to be a conservative to be a decent human though.
For sure, don’t crowbar things into the category “conservative” that don’t belong there, but also understand that true conservatism as we knew it hardly exists anymore.
Nick Coatsworth is experiencing the same treatment today.
And of course there’s Peter Ridd.
How many cases never make the news?

There was a seminar today by the NSW Law Society about Net Zero with a number of activist lawyers mouthing shear shit and propaganda: here are the relevant wankers:

Jeremy Hans is doing sterling service in exposing the pathological dishonesty of the leftards’ hysterical campaign against the draft religious discrimination laws. What’s really worrying is that this tripe is coming not just from the media but from so-called lawyers in the corrupt and despicable so-called human rights industry.
Is this happening widely, or is it a new thing?
Yes.
Let’s face it. The actual death of Australia occurred when gays were ‘allowed’ to marry. It’s been a death spiral ever since, and now we witness the horrible spectre of immorality Australia has become.
It will only get worse. Its inevitable, and a just consequence of normalising perversion.
True conservatism never existed.
I find that very easy to believe.
Jolly John Gorton was the last truly Australian PM.
I always though that John Gorton was the last true Australian Prime Minister, in a way Bob Hawke merely pretended to be.
I heard a story about Gorton which I can’t vouch for, but seems plausible.
He was at a lunch in Melbourne and went hard, and was taken back to the old Essendon Airport absolutely off his face, and was carried aboard the RAAF plane to go back to Canberra and strapped into his seat.
He started to turn a bit green. Then greener and greener, then the plane got technicolour decorated.
Gorton looked at the WRAAFi who was acting as air hostess and said “I bet you didn’t think an old fighter pilot like me could get airsick”.
“No,” she replied, “especially since the pilot hasn’t even turned the engine on yet”.
I take it that means yes, it’s happening widely?
I’d heard the same story, from what Reuters would designate “A reliable source.”

We spoke to an elderly, Melbourne relative yesterday. She knew nothing about the protests, is convinced that only the unvaccinated are getting seriously ill, and will happily take her booster jab when it’s time.
It upsets her to have any other perspective suggested.
The “vaxxines” are said to cause many micro-clots ( that’s if the big ones don’t get you first. )
Does anyone know if these micro-clots cause cognitive problems?
I know there’s the psyops aspects where they think it is necessary for everyone else to get the “jab” but are the “vaxxines” actually causing brain damage?
Was it Bungles or was it, [tee hee], Jolly John?
Once upon a time I wrote a small script that sanitised text by replacing all the words from a given list with a single word. A not very nice word, a word that is improper among civilised company. The list of words to be replaced would include activist, lawyer, marxist, environmentalist, SJW, journalist, raising awareness and on and on. The neat thing about it is that it would highlight tautologies very clearly.
Applying it to the sentence above produces
Lawyers opine on the climate while experts in hand washing offer their advice to governments on vaccines and the right of male deviants to use female toilets is celebrated.
It is our misfortune to live in the stupidest of times.
Mr Ed
Gorton was a total dumbarse, even Tony nAbbott made a better fist of the job.
The question wasn’t about the “best” PM, it was about who was the last one who actually cared for Australia and Australians. Gorton was the one.
Zulu
That’s the first I ve heard him named “Bungles.”
I think that Mr Ed might have been confused with Willie Wingnuts McMahon, who was an awful bungler.
This is the quote I want to put on the first New Cat t-shirt/ windcheater/mug.
More widely than we thought, I believe. Had several incidents amongst unvaxxed friends getting the same message or offers to treat them outside in the damned carpark. My GP demands that of me she will be my ex GP.
The one that infuriated me was done to a regional Vietnam vet in his mid 70s with both physical and psychological issues from his service. His doctor forced the vax on him in order to continue as his patient. He very reluctantly acquiesced but was incredibly distressed afterwards. Has been this mongrel’s patient for 20+years.

Definitely Jolly John around Canberra at the time.
A specialist the other half’s previously been to has refused to see him. I’ve also seen a few reports on-line.
Reignite Democracy Australia has a letter for people to use – I’ve downloaded it but not yet read it too closely. But we do need to find another GP as ours is closing his surgery permanently tomorrow.
I’ll lodge an order for two of the mugs.
Interestingly enough, last weeks meet up for a stress echo with my cardiologist did not result in any coercion or even discussion. His response to my reasons for not succumbing was extremely muted and vaguely implied agreement.
I did wonder if he is seeing unexpected consequences in a younger vaxxed cohort but I didn’t want to push the topic any further.
I am completely over the whole nonsensical debacle.
DB, what ever happened to treason in this country? Has it been removed from the statute books?
Willie McMahon, who, on one notable occasion, couldn’t remember his wife’s name?

“… brought a second one and a set of different TX / RX transmitter crystals…”
It’s likely a single chip receiver anyway I would expect and the “inductor” likely part of the IF filtering. If you can manage to get the numbers off the chip, you can most likely google it for a pinout and/or circuit, and specs – often even example circuits for various “uses”. The specs should give you an idea of what you’re dealing with and if what you want to do is even possible without replacing a “full set” of actuators (servos) and/or motor control (PWM speed controller) electronics.
I’d ask a specialist store about it.

Conservatism is the rear guard of the lefties.
It needs to be destroyed.
Interestingly enough, last weeks meet up for a stress echo with my cardiologist did not result in any coercion or even discussion.
I would think that any cardiologist that’s a decent human being would be pretty concerned about their new clientele, young and vax damaged.
Are you fucking kidding?
Abbott was a dud, but he wasn’t short on ambition.
Remember him telling Tony Windsor “I’d sell my arse to be Prime Minister, Tony.”
Windsor supported Gillard after hearing that, doubtless a wise move.
Such a wise move that she didn’t even get a rematch and Abbott (admittedly not a popular PM) trounced Kevni Ruff.
Mmyes, the wisdom of Solomon strikes again.

I didn’t ask for you assessment on Abbott, your views are already clear, you are entitled to your opinion, it is just that.
I asked what you have ever done for the betterment of the public. What you’ve ever done to try to make the country a better place, or help your fellow man. Anything worth noting?
Windows has just updated my laptop and now I can’t seem to retrieve my emails – I use Mozilla Thunderbird with my email account – any ideas, anyone?
thank you, in advance.
I also can’t find where the search engine stuff is located now either.
” No it’s not. Plenty of gay men are conservative politically.
LOL. Oxymoron haha.”
Nah – just a shift of political landscape. Those guys never changed, the Dems did and you know it. The old centre-left position is now finding it has more in common with the right than the left.
And He shall do so again in the future Roger at the time called Jacob’s Troubles. As you know, Jacob (Israel) was the father of the thirteen tribes who were and continue to be divided into two groups, the House of Judah – (primarily the Jews of Judah, Levi and half Benjamin) and the House of Israel, also known as the House of Joseph, who represent the other tribes.
The latter group ended up in western Europe, the R1b1a2 people, and at the “ends of the world” in the Anglosphere.
Look and see where the mandatory jabbing, vaxx passports, lock-downs, curfews etc. are occurring, it’s all those places where the Jews and the Joes live. No “no jab-no job” in Mexico, no vaxx passports in Egypt, no curfews in Brazil, this tyranny is directed solely at the descendants of Jacob.
John Gorton was the real thing. I remember vividly when I was in a change room at David Jones city store when it was announced over the loud speakers that he was chosen to fill the vacancy left by Harold Holt. I was 27yrs old at the time. I thought that it was going to be Hasluck. As it turned out Gorton was indeed the right choice.
To this day I often wonder would Gough have gotten in to power if Gorton had still been PM. Probably, as 24yrs was too long and many MPs were becoming lazy.
I recognise that homosexuals have something wrong with part of their brains; the same applies to depressives, and quite a lot of others.
It doesn’t follow that they are incapable of rational thought in other respects, and they might well have an affection for traditions. Including rationality.
You go first, Keith.
True, lots of gay physicists apparently. Disproportionately so.
Throw it out, get a Windows 7 emulator on whatever machine you get next.
Murray, Ngo, Rubin, and the like are as Arky says, decent human beings but not conservatives. Politically, they’re classical liberals. In Oz, I don’t think we’ve actually had a conservative tradition aside from Santamaria, at least in the post-WW2 period. I don’t know enough about the pre-war period to say. We’ve had a tradition that has promoted globalism, free markets, open borders, multiculturalism, etc.
Dot,
?
Gorton voted himself out, he probably viewed McMahon as Abbott viewed Turnbull, and chose to jump ship. McMahon was a hapless leader who lead the Liberals into defeat due to McMahon’s stupidity.
Why on earth did McMahon not abolish conscription when we were out of Vietnam, and when the 18 year-old’s had the vote.
Remember him telling Tony Windsor “I’d sell my arse to be Prime Minister, Tony.”

An excellent point. It’s almost as if those campaigning the hardest for everyone else to lose their jobs and livelihoods and have the Big Four foreclose on their mortgages are either very comfortable indeed with no requirement to work for an income, or don’t have anything to throw in the bin and burn in the first place.
Exhibit A – Razey at 6.03:
This, from the punter who not that long ago said he was a bit overwhelmed and just wanted to ‘chill out for a few years’. Either (a) above, or (b) above. I wouldn’t describe unwillingly taking this course of action, against all your ideals so you can feed your children as cowardice. But hey – a little brave internet yappage never hurt, right?
Someone else then opined that people were getting screechy at the screechers:
