A big article at Daily Mail concerning Bosi.
Have you ever heard of photoshop Bruce?
So is a Black Russian.
There was a significant Russian emigre population living around Woolloongabba right up into the 1980s.
Being good Orthodox Christians, many married their daughters off to recently arrived Yugoslavs in the Seventies.

the bosi article at daily mail
Rebel News, run by Ezra Levant, deserves support. They do real journalism.
If the MSM said the sky was blue I’d go out and check.
And I’d assume beforehand it wasn’t.
They’re asshole.
Fact is not the same as truth.
I rather like the Daily Mail, it almost seems subversive with so many outrageous stories that seem to wholeheartedly support various narratives.
“the bosi article at daily mail”
He’s more than a fruit loop. He’s an embarrassment. I now understand why Bernardi didn’t hand over AC info to him.
Isn’t White Russia a drink?
Shudder memories there Sancho on a break from work when I wiped myself out in an Expat bar in south east Asia one night getting into a shout with a fisherman from Weipa on White Russians. Came back to pay the bill the next morning with one of the worst hangovers I have ever had and was astonished at how many we got through. It was legit too, the bar owner filled me in on the carnage whilst laughing his head off. I haven’t touched it since. Sins of youth I suppose.
Here’s that Bosi article.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10531509/Senior-SAS-officer-vows-hang-doctors-politicians-nurses-responsible-plan-demic.html
Someone said Bosi was in the Army from 1979-1999, but it’s clear he’s still working for them.

Before 1917 it was Red Russians,
After 1917 it was White Russians.
They built their cathedral on Vulture St. in the early 1920s, a stone’s throw from the ‘Gabba.
In 1945-46 Alexander Kerensky lived in Brisbane for about a year.
I suspect he maintained a low profile.
Rosie, are you this insane? It is a clear photo. Go find it. Saw the footage this morning.
Two Canadian Mounties charges the crowd trampling an old lady with a walker and another guy. The photo has the lady on the ground near her walker under one horse. The other horse literally has a hoof on the chest of the guy. It looked seriously bad. Broken ribs bad at least. The Mounties horses were much more robust than NSW plod horses, maybe a chunk of Clydsdale in them, very big hooves.
Black Russians were cigarettes made by Sobranie, black paper with gold rings. Balkan tobacco.
Rather revolting. I smoked a few when an undergraduate to show how mature and sophisticated I was.
Didn’t fool anyone, not even me.
How much do “Fact” “Checkers” make?

This is the post on the “deaths in custody” and the trampled woman.
Now, rickw quoted that from a news report which I linked to to have a look. It was the Vancouver Times.
The article I read said two people fell and immediately got back up and rejoined the protest.
A still photo does not a ‘trample’ make.
Australia with the Turnbull, Bishop & Downer trio?
The Vancouver Times* claims to not being mainstream media.
The claimed deaths in custody has no source and no follow up.
*Sounds like that very reliable Cairns rag
😀 I liked the one sitting on the lady’s thigh. She was pretty OK too.
The proliferation of these bonkers studies is very entertaining. There must be money available for them all. Like my northern magpie male kiddie who follows me around hopefully all day. I can’t resist giving him treats. He’s gorgeous and so is his sister, who is very light in colour and acts just like her mum. Somehow I doubt magpies are in danger from climate change. More likely they’re in danger of being overfed.
The horse charge apparently injured a number of people just there are no known deaths from yet. SDA (No friend of Trudeau) was one of the first calling for caution last night, also Ezra Levant is keeping clear of at the moment. Till it can be substantiated I remain wary especially given the effect of the phenomenon known as “the fog of war.”
Wow on the Bosi article, hopefully they have their ducks in a row. I know he has said some of those things but if others are unfounded it could be potentially damaging…
That Queensland pair with the saw were rank amateurs.

We shall await developments.
I agree with calli. I loathe liars, particularly those with whom I share some opinions. I expect lefties to lie, but when anti-lefties do it, I despise them. It just brings their position into disrepute and feeds ammunition to lefties.
I wonder how many pro vaxx alleged ‘paid social media influencers’ bosi and his crew have lined up for the high jump.
Any candidates at the cat, perhaps?
I wonder if they really shot Ezra’s reporter in the leg. Or hit her multiple times with batons.
I want non-photoshopped film taken from many angles, doctors’ reports (multiple) and maybe a skin swab showing powder burns.
To be sure.

You know I was thinking of mothers and children when I used the expression ‘fact check’. It’s something we all do, when claims seem dubious or there are conflicting accounts.
Of course it’s a search for the truth.
Not interested in anything else.
Meanwhile, in white Russia.
I suspect spinal compression would be the least of your worries
if you had to punch out.
Hard to know Cali, however I have my eyes wide open there is bad blood between Rebel and the RCMP that flows both ways.
Just a second.
The women, dead, not dead, in hospital, not in hospital, trampled, fell over, does she has a name, has she been interviewed, made a claim for herself?
A picture of a women on the ground even with several mounted police officers nearby isn’t indisputable proof of a trampling.
Wow. I should ask them for the winning lotto numbers. Check the date out!

Watching Get Smart right now. At the moment I feel like Agent 13. In a tree.
And a dog just wee’d on me.
Yahoo, who you linked Rosie is quintessentially MSM. I don’t know if the lady or the guy died but the horses were standing on them. I saw what I saw. I can’t be bothered finding the footage. Fairly sure Cats posted it earlier.
Ok, I’m pissed off. This one is about a frame further on from the one I saw this morning. It shows the lady on the ground next to her walker and the guy with the horse standing on him, or just after. He’s damn lucky to be alive as is she. Now please give me the benefit that my eyes actually do work. Sheesh.
With Hymie, the robot Steve Bracks doppelgänger.
Whoever here at FlashCat referred to Bosi as “controlled opposition” the other week was probably right. Otherwise this country has more permissive free speech laws than I had been aware.
Be interesting to see how long he can say such things without being taken on a little trip downtown (and how would we know if he had?)
Some White Russian history…..at the Yalta conference in 1945, Churchill and Roosevelt agreed to Stalin’s demand that the White Russians living in central and eastern Europe, most of whom had left Russia after the whites were defeated by the Red Army in 1920, be forcibly repatriated back to the Soviet Union. Most of these White Russians were Cossacks, ethnic Russians and Ukrainians, they numbered over 100,000 and many had fought for Hitler against the Soviet Union and allies and yes many were involved in atrocities and war crimes, there were numerous Cossack SS squads…and this probably helps to explain why the British and Americans agreed to Stalin’s demand. However, it wasn’t just the fighting men who were repatriated, men (including Orthodox and eastern rite Catholic priests), women and children, all of whom had been living in Central and Eastern Europe for over twenty years and many of whom had never set foot in the Soviet Union, were forcibly put on trains and repatriated. Once in the Soviet Union, Stalin had the leaders and priests shot and the rest, including women and children, were sent to gulags where many died. The only country that refused to acquiesce to the Soviets and hand over the White Russians in their territory was the small principality of Liechtenstein.
Rosie Sara Carter from Fox News has since deleted the tweet on the death. Conservative Treehouse was following it.
Can’t find the reference but from SDA blog apparently the old lady suffered a dislocated shoulder and there were 2 other injuries requiring hospitalisation.
Sacré bleu, Bear – it’s the “Kooyong Colt” for those us who remember our gliberal pardee mythology.

Cut to the KC, walking slowly while intoning seriously (by the end of which everyone watching has fallen asleep) and the rest is electoral oblivion, played out in slow motion.
End result? Three more years of the Hawke/Keato disaster.
It’s not common for a husband to be found hanged, dead, with a smile on his face but it does happen.
Even that photo doesn’t prove trampling.
How come we are seeing single frames but not the video they presumably came from.
Incidentally, the police line is immediately to the left of the two people who have fallen and at the very least the person in yellow with black spots is filming close up with a phone.
Btw If this had been a blm or occupy demonstration you wouldn’t have cared less, it would have been play stupid games win stupid prizes.
When the individuals who fell come forward with their tales of trampling I’ll be interested but not the social media ‘Sara Carters’

That was me at Nilk’s.
‘Three people went to hospital after protest and were treated for minor injuries’ doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as ‘old woman trampled to death by police horse’ I suppose.
Michael Hutchence?
Try looking around Rosie. Click on the photo, it will get you to the story.
It is totally clear that Canadian enforcement on horses trampled an old lady and a guy.
I hope they survived. Trudeau is a fascist of true old 1930’s style.
Matt Kean is the scummiest, slimiest and most vomitous creep in Australian politics.

Yes, that was a very shameful episode for the nations involved, Cassie.
So the old disabled lady who uses a wheelie walker to get around went to hospital with a dislocated shoulder after being trampled by the horse. MSM tried to say she threw a bicycle at the horse.
Very little has changed
Got to love Russians.
Horse is fine, police tell trampled protesters (Russia Today, 19 Feb)

Err, Zyco, if you were trying to link to a picture of a young woman, it appears not to have worked.
P.S. Following a comprehensive survey of Cats from last evening on their next preferred radio show topic, it appears that New Wave (1978-19585) has won ahead of Motown and Soul (1960-1980) by 3 votes to one.
You asked for it peoples, you got it! Unlike Gay Ray Hadley and Nanna Neilo, I actually appreciate the (long suffering) listeners. 🙂

Just a reminder of Dick Ed’s initial position on White Russia.
Perhaps, but White Russia is nowhere near Ukraine
Now (as forecast) Dickless Ed is walking back his initial position.
White Russia is a place, a White Russian is a drink and the White Army was something else again.
Bruce got it all mixed up, which is normal, but a few of the Usual Suspects can’t let it go.
All of which is well known, but your start point was that “White Russia is nowhere near Ukraine”. But please keep faceplanting, I’m sure that many here are amused by your grotesque display of pig-headed stupidity.
Do you have some sort of mailing list? Ta.
Crikey a dozen posts about how the old duck wasn’t dead.
I didn’t count a doesn’t posts from Rosie about how the Canadian plod are thugs.
I didn’t count a single one.

Cassie, that’s a most interesting post, thank you. I did know about the forced repatriation of those Cossacks who had fought for Hitler, but that’s the first I knew of the forced repatriation of those who had left after 1920.

The trampling by police horses, of the old lady on the walker scooter is fair dinkum.
Fox News (USA) carried video from at least three different angles, on multiple morning & evening news programs overnight (Oz time).
This video clearly shows the old lady being trampled by police horses.
The “bicycle got thrown at us” story was dreamed up by Ottawa police once they realised, oops, there’s actual video of them trampling the old duck.
Pedro – CL posted this “representation” of the greenfilth manboobed one on the old Cat.
Menzies would be spinning in his grave.
OMG, just reading back up the thread.
It’s quite unhinged.
Typical Rosie.
Spray a lot out, get one thing right, then deny all knowledge of everything they got wrong.
Like the AFP boom boxes in Canberra.
Spent days saying there was no proof they were there.
Then got on their hind legs about where were the injuries.
With out even addressing they were wrong to sneer at posters saying the LRAD were there in the first place.
“Rogersays:

Some White Russian history….
Yes, that was a very shameful episode for the nations involved, Cassie.”
Roger, it was your comment about Kerensky that reminded me of that shameful episode. Kerensky kept a low profile for two reasons…firstly, as with other post 1917 Russian emigres, he lived in fear of the Soviets, secondly he was blamed by many White Russians for what happened to the Tsar and his family (it was Kerensky who sent them to Siberia, thinking that the family would be safe in remote Siberia however once the October revolution happened, they were trapped and captured by the Ural Soviets….who murdered them).
Until Stalin died in 1953, almost all White Russians, even those living here in Oz, lived quietly and under the radar. When Stalin came to power, he organised for the infiltration of White Russian communities, even in western Europe and kidnappings of eminent White Russians (particularly former Tsarist generals who’d fought in the civil war) from cities like Berlin and Paris became common.
I don’t think Bosi could complain about that.
Nothing there he hasn’t said, I don’t think.
Oh dear Albanese really does look like a miserable golly-necked scold. some here described him to the effect of looking like an unloved old lesbian. Hmmm
Good that Terry McRann tells some hard truths in The Australian.

I agree Cassie.
I have changed my mind on this.
I was initially pissed off with Bernardi for taking his bat and ball and going home.
But I kind of get where he might have been coming from.
“Fuck. I leave this party structure behind. This looney will elbow his way to the top. Next minute my support base will be getting fruit-loop emails and I will be being badgered at every turn about why my party is now an embarrassment.”
Leaders in the Western world?
Look up “Operation Unthinkable” some time ……..a plan to re – equip the German Army to invade Russia…..
It was rhetorical, Tinta.
Tints – that photo of the albansleazey is bloody hilarious! 🙂
Love the woman of some colour at the left looking looking very bemused/concerned in equal measure.
The most amazing aspect of this Canadian power grab at the moment is the backbone some US banks are showing.
Not all, but some.
As I posted previously, I still think the truckers are the excuse to have a crack at crypto.
But as many have posted here, easier said than done.
If Justine doesn’t get his mitts on at least some crypto, he’s just done more advertising for it than he could possible imagine.
I knew two White Russian families who adopted English surnames to do just that, Cassie.
In regard to Kerensky, I would think that in Brisbane it was more the White Russians he would have wanted to avoid rather than any Soviet agents. There’s no record that I can find of him giving any public speeches and and he resided in a well to do suburb on the northside far from the concentration of Russians around Wooloongabba.
Sorry, I forgot the disclaimer; I suspect it isn’t THE John Durham’s account as he isn’t ‘mouthy’, BUT, there’s been a lot of other chatter around about ‘the Internationals’ being a reason for the time taken in all the I dotting & T crossing and general very quiet diplomacy.
Another aspect of this is that so much South American/Latin American money is held via Canada.
A couple of Aussie guys I know who spent time in Toronto told me how speaking Spanish would fast track your career if you were in wealth management.
That was after AML but before CRS so I don’t know if that is still the case.
“Oh dear Albanese really does look like a miserable golly-necked scold. some here described him to the effect of looking like an unloved old lesbian. Hmmm”
He is the member for the electorate of Lesbos.
The “bicycle got thrown at us” story was dreamed up by Ottawa police once they realised, oops, there’s actual video of them trampling the old duck.
Everyone at that protest had phones, and the Ottawa police are surprised that there’s footage?! Dangerous idiots. You can find footage of the incident from pretty much every angle except the old lady’s.
He’s wearing his Akubra so he must be in “the bush” (i.e. outside of the Canberra-Sydney-Melbourne triangle).
Oh yes… Darwin.
Leak Jr. picked up on this brilliantly last week.
Critical Update on Disabled Woman Reported ‘Dead’ After Being Trampled by a Horse at Freedom Convoy Protest
February 19, 2022 by Kyle Becker
The suburb in Sydney I was born and grew up in had many peoples of Russian descent. There was a Russian Orthodox church around the corner from my primary school. Most of them anglicised their surnames and blended in. Far more easily for example, than some Sicilians.
The lady of some colour is our ALP senator, Malanderri McCarthy used to be Barbara of the ABC reportage stable. Nice lady.

More information please.
I’ve missed anything about US banks.
I’ve perhaps been too busy watching the zillion videos of Canadian police, who look like a heavily armed khaki Michelin-man, belting hell out of peaceful protesters and smashing the protester’s motor vehicles.
Still got the NRL channel on.

Seriously, that’s a monty sized service of nuggets.
If you’re going to get 40 nuggets, why wouldn’t you get yourself a roast chicken.

Rose Jackson, Labor something or other, was for lockdowns and closed borders and is now for the end of them. She also loves the crying at family reunions where members have been separated for two years due to the above lockdowns and closed borders. Our parliament is full of monstrous imbeciles.
Being the sole vote for Motown and Soul, I must wonder if it will be got good and hard.

“There’s no record that I can find of him giving any public speeches and and he resided in a well to do suburb on the northside far from the concentration of Russians around Wooloongabba.”
I’ve read several sources which say he was hated by emigres…particularly for what happened to the imperial family. He also refused to support the White Russians during the civil war. When he lived in Paris in the 1920s, he was regularly spat upon and abused.
An interesting bit of trivia is that both Kerensky and Lenin were born in the same city of Simbirsk, their families were friendly and Kerensky’s father taught the young Lenin.
Forgot to mention Rose Jackson exhibited her imbecility on Paul Murray’s program. Do the produce look for the stupidest ones they can find?
I haven’t seen any photos or fillem of the protests in Canadia.
Reports of deaths may or may not be accurate.
But it seems the actions of RCMPlod might have been excessive, even reckless.
Maybe focus on that.
If the actions of RCMPlod could have resulted in death but didn’t just because of blind luck, isn’t that the point?
I remember an incident in Melbourne last year where VikPlod fired rubber bullets into the crowd. It was reported here that a young bloke had been hit in the head and died.
Sceptics were sceptical.
Sceptics were attacked.
My radar went off when Rukshan was there but did not stream it.
He had doubts.
A name surfaced.
I looked him up on Facebook. Two week old account. No posts except for the day of the protest.
So his “death” became a distraction from the issue of dangerous, unnecessary and excessive behaviour by VikPlod.
I thought it interesting in the use of the horses for crowd control there, they were used to make a wedge to drive the crowd back from the police, fist single then two, pushing wider as they went. Which is fine if you are stable and fleet of foot, like a normal BLM protester, not so much when you are abnormal, ordinary citizens of all walks of life, with the old and infirm standing (or in this case sitting) alongside the big and the beautiful.

Who was subsequently the subject of an entire Catallaxy Q&A thread laugh-a-thon?
Kerensky was a noted anti-monarchist in the pre-revolutionary Duma.
He then fomented the February revolution by supplying arms to rebelling soldiers and sailors.
That worked out well.
The White Russians had good reason to loathe him.

A friend of our son is descended from White Russians, who escaped out the back through Asia somewhere, they had to ford a great river hanging onto a rope, a grandmother – a very pretty little blonde was taken into a harem and the mother of the child had to go in to get her out, amazing. The friend’s father liked to hunt for his own food.
A bunch settled around Katherine and started the peanut growing there, a whole area has Russian names, Ivanoff Road and so on after the families that lived there. Descendants still live locally.
“Rose Jackson”
Facts about Rose…
1. Rose is the daughter of ABC parasite Liz Jackson.
2. Rose was a hard left student activist at university.
3. Rose once worked as a campaign aide to George Spewhouse back in 2007 when Spewhouse was running for the seat of Wentworth……Rose was exposed for ant-Semitism.
4. Rose has never had a real job in her life, since leaving university she has been an ALP apparatchik, working as an “advisor” for several Labor politicians.
5. Rose was parachuted into the safe seat of Auburn in 2019.
6. Rose is married to another ALP apparatchik and all round hack…Sam Crosby, failed ALP candidate for the seat of Reid here in Sydney.
7. Rose is a truly ghastly, mediocre, party hack.
I lived in Grayndler for several years and inadvertently voted for that monstrous imbecile in the 2010 feral election (I’ve explained how this regrettable incident happened previously on the ol’ Cat).
Grayndler is chock full of the house sized arse tatooed acreage covered purple and green haired lesbos.

Yes, via Siberia to Harbin or Shanghai was a common route.
Harbin, China was the largest “Russian” city in the far east in the 1930s.
Once Mao took over they had to flee again, mostly to California or Australia.
When you have Zuck, Hoffman & Omidyar spending nine figures, the DNC doesn’t need too many more donors.
But when you have guys like David Sacks & Marc Andreessen lining up & donating to the Thiel group of candidates and bringing their old school liberal lefty mates along too, it should make the DNC think.
There are a lot of people in Silicon valley who are not comfortable with the social media platforms & their power.
And they trust Thiel to make that happen.
Without going off the deep end.
This Ukraine shit show has increased Thiel’s standing because he is so anti the Washington War Machine.
On police horses, what happened to Kristian Pulkownik, the ‘infamous’ horse punch man of Sydney? I can’t find anything after 10 August last year when he was granted bail after three weeks in the pokey.
Were the four charges dropped?
Guy, of course, never had a spare moment to attend the anti-mandate protests. Not a single one. His diary was always full.
Earlier today here on the cat (since I have not been looking at other sites today, too busy, ) someone posted an announcement from GiveSendGo regarding the many requests to them for refunds of donations. They explained that they could not refund at this very time, but that the donation money was safely banked in the USA, and in due course the funds would be distributed as planned to Canadian truckers support as originally intended.

At this point, based on the available evidence, the police knock down of an elderly women at Studley Park is still my hands down winner of unnecessary police brutality in the covid wars.

I think dot points 1 to 6 had already established this beyond doubt.
Glad to hear that Bank of America at least won’t follow the political whims of another nation.
So far.
I reckon a lot of people with US bank accounts are very uncomfortable with the idea of a foreign government making demands.
“This discovery indicates that making alcohol was not necessarily a result of agricultural surplus production, but it was developed for ritual purposes and spiritual needs, at least to some extent, prior to agriculture,” Liu said about their findings.

Hmmm. Wonder how the Australian banks will respond. This could get ugly.
Liz Jackson would not be travelling too well by now one imagines. Parkinson’s.
Fair call, but he is of Ukrainian descent.
GiveSendGo released a statement this morning saying the trucker funds they’ve collected are in an “undisclosed US bank”. Which means they don’t trust any Canadian banks. They’re disbursing the funds with discreteness and care. Good on them.

Not only does Sky News pay Sam Crosby to spew his rubbish, they thought let’s employ his wife as well. I don’t know of any Liberal, or conservative, couples gives the same privilege.
Here’s my take:
1. Scotty intentionally fucked up the Vaxx Rollout [and likely saved a few hundred thousand lives, at least, but, hey, what’s he done lately?] so clearly he won’t do as he’s told when he wins the Election.
This has been known since the middle of last year.
2. Alex Hawke is Scotty’s man on the Preselections and without him there isn’t a quorum.
It appears that Sussan Ley, Zimmerman, and a few other were going to knife Scotty so he told Hawke to stay away from the meetings to use the sitting member Preselections as a weapon to get Federal control of the branch.
3. So the deal was done, the preselections went through and Scotty’s men get what they wanted, candidates who are actually a realistic chance of winning the seats such as Warringah.
Photios is the reason the Liberal Party is still in the game.
If it was possible to win a seat in Federal Parliament running as a Conservative, someone mighta tried it sometime in the last 121 years.
So why did Scotty publicly call on Gladys Berejiklian to run in Warringah?
Because he suspected she was going to make a late run anyway and he wanted to flush her out early.
It worked.
There’s your reason why Van Onselen was gifted those text messages.
It is the inevitable outcome of dynastic behaviour taking root, inbreeding occurs.
““rosie has the love & truth & human compassion of a Catholic.

This is totally inappropriate.
Fuck off.

Thanks, Helen. Didn’t realise akubras were essential wearing in Darwin. Presumably meant to fend off salty crocodiles and the odd large toothy interactive great white.
I’m still chuckling at that photo. If the gliberals had a functioning brain between them, they’d be running it 24/7/365 on many, many billboards on Sydney roadways.

John H – I suspect the discovery that alcohol is an excellent disinfectant for water is a seriously important aspect. Paul, for example, urged Timothy to drink wine to avoid his frequent illnesses.
Beer and ale were the answer in the north, which was too cool for grapes.

Eric Weinstein – who I think is an enormous intellect – still wants to be liked.
So he says all the right things, to a point.
No more counter productive wars, radical overhaul of the US university system etc.
But then says shit like status quo Republicans are the answer? Like Cheney?
If you have half a brain you can see how that doesn’t work.
Did I say he was an enormous intellect?

Then loops back to status quo.
Yeah, but it was Hop Beer, not the horses piss that’s passed off as beer today.

Everything you say about Eric is correct. I think Eric is a scaredy-cat unlike his brother. Bret is more courageous because he’s willing to think and step outside the box.
Just slightly before my time, BJ, but I do know who she is.
Natalie Wood was another White Russian beauty whose family came out of China, although on checking her Wiki page I see it was in the 1930s.

Why Canada Will Become a Dictatorship Under Trudeau
12/12/2014
The leader of that party does what he wants, when he wants, and no one dares question him. Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision? Let’s hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions.

Outsiders this morning showed the video clip of Trudeau praising China way back when.
Thiel effective ghosted Trump around the start of 2019.
Just saw him as a waste of time.
Thiel does not like Trump.
Trump definitely does not like Thiel.
But Trump knows he needs to have the social media platforms, banks & payment gateways secure.
And he can’t do that without the group of libertarians from Silicon Valley that Peter Thiel is viewed as the Pied Piper.
& he knows Bannon & Jim Jordan fucked him over on this last time around.
But Thiel knows that if you want your libertarian candidates up, you need the Trump army to not feel like their candidate has been binned for no good reason.
So all of Thiel’s candidates have gone to Mar-a-Lago & bent the knee & had the photo taken.
So it’s an alliance of mutual convenience.
I can’t see it ending well.
But the ecommerce bill will land on Biden’s desk & he’s going to have to say why he’s vetoing it.

Be fair to rosie, that old lady was, ‘playing the stupid game’, of standing there for, “peace, love & happiness”, so of course she ‘deserved the stupid prize’, of being trampled by a very large & heavy police horse.
Whatever happened to just getting blind while playing pool, listening to rock ‘n’ roll and flirting with some young women?
Oops – there’s your “ritual purposes and spiritual needs” right there, Cats. 🙂

As usual.

Like all anti Semites, you are a fucking retard.
Well then, he can volunter for the Ukraine Army rather than trying to drag us into another war if it and not us is more important.

Thanks for drawing the very important distinction between the Kooyong Kid and the Clot from Kooyong.
You know him much better, and that sounds about right.
Dover.
I suggest you remove the comment made by ussr at 8:46.
Waiting for the threshold of “reported comments” might be too late.
I am serious.
If it is still here tomorrow morning I will go the full Faulty.
Albanese was praising Marise Payne the other day, she’s passed Dorothy Tangney as the longest serving woman in the Parliament’s history, 9,000+ days.
Some might say that was 9,000 wasted days.
Anyway, I’m guessing Payne’s No. 1 spot on the Ticket isn’t guaranteed if she keeps on leaking stuff that damages Scotty.
As there ain’t going to be any Motown any time soon Cats, let’s enjoy the magnifique Gladys and her Pips loud, sparse and just bloody awesome …
The Creedence version, for good ol’ jupes, existing over there in McClownstan. 🙂
I’ve reported that comment. It’s disgraceful.
I am past caring about internal blog reporting procedures.
There is legislation in place for this sort of thing.
Indeedy, Pancho – so there is no confusion, here he is, just after hitting the hustings …

Yes.
I hereby authorise Dover to bin my ussr sock.
Honestly, peoples, how is anyone meant to take this imbecile even remotely seriously? 😕
I didn’t know the Caspian Sea was essentially landlocked. Also interesting is the definition if it’s a lake or part of the sea is important. If it’s defined as a sea then the law of the sea takes prominence.

Yes, as was the Aral Sea, now almost destroyed by Soviet agriculture. I think, strictly speaking, they’re lakes.

Rabz, the Sunday Terror had Albo in his best Hamptons wear.
Looked like his new bird took him shopping at somewhere age inappropriate.
As Joe Aston pointed out a couple of months ago, there’s a high correlation of wearing Hamptons wear for a photo spread & then losing your job within a fortnight.
Correlation is not causation.
There was meant to be a lol at the end of that.
Well, look, I can point to some individual Presbyterians are very, very ordinary people.
Criminals even.
Probably hundreds, even thousands of them.
But I don’t ascribe their worst attributes to each and every Presbyterian.
Because that would make me look like a bigoted bitter old crone who thinks she is above others because she managed to get up the duff three or four times and her spawn also managed to split into several other amoebic life-forms.
Well, OK.
Not Hasidic Presbyterian I hope.
Or Sunni Presbyterian or Shiite Presbyterian.
I do hope he is Orthodox Presbyterian.

There is a canal to the Black Sea. It is also connected to the Volga.
The police also claimed that a bicycle had been thrown under the legs of a police horse to injure it. Not true. Shades of the infamous “punch” to a police horse from the Sydney protests, same sort of outright lie. The only wheeled object was the overturned mobility scooter of the old woman, who is apparently a native elder by the way.
If the other fellow under the hind hoofs of the police horse escaped with “minor injuries” he was indeed fortunate. While a horse will instinctively attempt to avoid trampling, those horses are large and heavy and appear to be shod, so any contact, from a misstep or however fleeting, will cause an injury. I’ve been down under and around the hind feet of a spooked horse, and it’s no place to be – even accidentally.
They appear to be at least Clydesdale cross horses, so are likely to weigh at least around 750kg, three quarters of a ton. I’ve been around a similar police horse here in Australia, and they’re literally formidable. Even the best-trained horse can become unpredictable in a crowd, and with a rider who might be in a heightened state of anxiety or aggravation due to the situation.
If you think it’s reasonable for police to ride such an animal into a crowd on foot, pushing through regardless of who is in the way, (and then tell lies to the public afterwards) then perhaps you might apply to Trudope’s political party for membership. Sounds like you’d fit right in.
There is a canal to the Black Sea.
Geez, that’s a long way.
Makes the US digging waterways seem like nothing.
Speaking of which, I’ve just blundered onto some videos of Jimmy Savile – among the ones containing ample footage of him groping schoolgirls’ behinds is an interview with that silver helmet headed imbecile, Farkinson.
Remember – the only one who ever called Savile out was Johnny Lydon.
Shit. Just walked in.
