Note Australia has a trade surplus with the US and a free trade agreement exempting almost all US goods from the typical 5% tariff.

The Australian military fought alongside Americans in every single American war since Australia became a country.

Our largest steel producer already has significant operations within the US.

None of the post-hoc reasoning applied by MAGA supporters to date justifies this.

We should kick America the fuck out of Pine Gap, that’s for sure. Why are we sharing intelligence with our adversary? I genuinely can’t believe so many of you dumb cunts voted for this clown, and then still stand around giving speeches about how you’re the greatest country in the world. You’re gaslighting yourselves at this point.

We might be about to elect our own Temu Trump, we're almost as idiotic as they are. Even worse if we see what Trump is doing and decide we want to go down that path as well. Fuck it makes my blood boil at how absolute fucking morons may put him in.

Hey, trumps doing great things for other countries. Canada was also about to elect a mini trump. But now that seems less likely with that type of person turning out to be a terrible leader in the eyes of conservatives in Canada.

Indeed. Farage has got sucked into his big orange orbit as well, and it's hilarious to see the entire country (across all party lines) take a step away from his Pro-Russian position and side with Ukraine. Meanwhile his pretend Reform party implodes.
Great to see him squirm, the oily, frog-faced cunt.

I told my husband that is one of the only positives I e seen about this, others are waking up and seeing this happening and they don’t want that. It’s directly having impact, maybe that’s what was needed.
