@TheNoisyTrunk Is it where they are placed on the desk in relation to each other. The PM is placed on the opposite side of the desk, whereas Dutton and Sarah Ferguson are on either side of a corner. In a corporate setting that would be a sign of collegiality and informality?

@Peter_Fitz Kamala Harris 292 - 246. The blue wall states plus Nevada and North Carolina. Massive popular vote win.

Ok, Friends. Make your predictions for US election. And no deleting it afterwards! I will start. Kamala to win by 7 electors. Post below. We will check against results, and winner to get a pat on the back out of Petty Cash. Losers not allowed to whine endlessly & start riots.

@FacesOutOfCTX Did you really mansplain The Handmaids Tale to Margaret Atwood? How does it feel to be the most egregious idiot on the internet?

I don't know Flo but I doubt it.

@ProjectLincoln Cruz

Other than Trump, which Republicans do you REALLY want to lose this November?

@marcorubio When the Republican Party tears itself to pieces in the wake of another Trump defeat I trust you will be ground in the gears of your hypocrisy and opportunism. No one will weep for you Li’l Marco, no one.

In the closing days of this campaign, virtually every major media outlet in America is openly participating in the largest disinformation effort in history in hopes of defeating Trump

@JayWeber3 Unforgivable.

This is a fuller apology for something stupid and hurtful I said yesterday. I said it without thinking or having the facts. No excuses. Having been a teacher, I’ve had a standard of never involving children, I broke that and I’m disappointed with myself. I apologize to....

@jonfavs MAGA-inspired fascism threatens the whole world. Please don’t stick with a candidate and team whose pitch is to thread the needle in 3 blue wall states. Choose a candidate with the eloquence and clarity to win the argument for democracy.

It's not that Biden can't win a margin-of-error race in an highly polarized environment where polling errors happen. He can. It's that a clear majority of voters who don't like Trump keep saying that Biden isn't their preferred choice and not our best chance. And he still has a few weeks left to listen to them.

@jonfavs But we are all much too busy blaming the media and tearing down fellow progressives for pointing out reality.

Two choices for the anti-Trump coalition: If we resign ourselves to a second Trump presidency four months before Election Day, we'll definitely get a second Trump presidency. If everyone from the Democratic nominee on down works hard to persuade undecided Americans that they're better off with us, we might not get a second Trump presidency. I think we should try.

@BidenHQ Or maybe because you shouldn’t change horses in midstream, and the money can’t be transferred, and we don’t want to have division at the convention, and they made a commitment etc.

JD Vance says women should stay in violent marriages “for the sake of their kids”

@adamjam99 @b_stenhouse @Timodc @jeffgoldesq The only President who did fewer press conference in a term had alzheimers. The same team who decided to shield Biden for two years and then launch the campaign with a debate, are now assuring us that Biden press conferences and interviews will turn the tide. Not happening.

In just the last couple weeks, Biden has sat for two sit down interviews, gave a 59 minute press conference, where he answered 19 questions from 10 different reporters with a level of specificity and detail that would be impressive for any person of any age. Your criticism is now stale and a non sequitur

Want everyone who is mad at me for talking about the Biden nomination still to sit with this clip. This is the gamble you want to take? With the stakes as great as they are? The risk is astronomical.

@adamjam99 @Timodc @jeffgoldesq The Democratic elites: donors, elected officials, party operatives, closed ranks to ensure there was no contested primary. Now they are watching the US zombie walk towards a fascist takeover, too gutless to act. It’s not just your country about to be fucked by Trump.

@Timodc @jeffgoldesq We had primaries Tim, maybe we should listen to the voters who voted in a democracy and not set the precedent that their will can just be disregarded based on polls. Remember we are fighting to save that same democracy

@mehdirhasan @NormOrnstein And the free world is watching on in horror as the US does a zombie walk towards a fascist take-over and the Democratic Party elites who closed ranks around Biden to avoid a contested primary are now too gutless to replace him.

@NormOrnstein Holt’s questions were awful but Biden wasn’t fine, Norm. You’re grading on a curve. It was an awful sub-par rambling performance from the man who wants to ‘lead the free world’ and claims to want to stop an imminent neo-fascist takeover of the United States government.

I just watched the Lester Holt interview with Biden. Biden was fine. Lester Holt represented everything that is cringeworthy about today's journalism. Equated Biden's criticism of Trump with Trump saying he would be a dictator on day one, would pardon violent insurrectionists, called migrants animals.

@BidenHQ Why do you people still have jobs? Who decided the campaign tactics that put Biden’s diminished capacities front and centre? How about you stop throwing a party every time he doesn’t humiliate himself in public and devise a way to halt this death march to fascism.

Why did JD Vance delete this tweet?

@BidenHQ More to the point, why wasn’t there someone on the debate stage calling Trump on his 28 lies? It’s a bit rich to ask the media to do what the candidate manifestly failed to do. Blaming the media and elites for his failings removes one more thing that makes him better than Trump.

President Biden: Why don't you guys ever talk about the 28 lies he told? Where are you? Why didn’t the press ever talk about that? 28 times. He lied in that debate Holt: I just ask the question because… President Biden: I was there. And by the way, you won't answer the question. Why didn't the press talk about all the lies he told? Holt: We have reported many of the issues… President Biden: No, you haven't. God love you

@RestIsPolitics This confirms the MAGA narrative: Deep state, out to get him, system rigged against him, they are trying to silence him etc. The only faint hope the Democrats have of reshaping the narrative is Whitmer, a Washington outsider, also the subject of an assasination attempt.

What effect do you think the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania will have on the race to become US president?

@incrediblemelk @ABCTV @ScreenHub Thanks Mel, I love this review. You have pointed to the most important things we set out to do with the story.

I review @ABCTV's new series 'Ladies in Black' at @ScreenHub. I was 😒 on the 2018 film, feeling like it blunted the social satire of Madeleine St John's novel. But the TV show does better work with the same pastel colourway: it's code-switching comfort TV screenhub.com.au/news/reviews/l…

@mattjcan Only politicians who falsify business records to cover up hush money payments to porn stars in order to corruptly influence an election need worry. On a list of Australia’s most likely, Matt…

Sad what has happened to the American "justice" system. An embarrassing political witch hunt and one US trend we should not follow. Let's hope our judicial system is never politically weaponised like this. Take on your political opponents at elections not in the courtroom.

@instanterudite Abso-fucking-lutely

The rest are involved in a hard-fought battle for runner-up but #nemesis demonstrates yet again that the greatest stinkard of all was always and unequivocally Morrison.

You know you're in trouble when Erica criticises your interpersonal skills.

Gosh, it’s an impressive thing to come across as the biggest jerk amongst this lot. But Morrison is head and shoulders above the rest of them in that regard #Nemesis
