It takes a special kind of stupid to think the 'left' would dress up like the 'right' and invade the Capitol to change the outcome of an election they just won.

Over the past half decade, we have turned much of the country’s mindscape into a group-therapy session for Trump believers. Reporters play the part of the therapist, reassuring the analyzed of a safe space for their grievances and complaints. The pro-Trump world has accepted the invitation. Even as Trump commits one constitutional, legal, and ethical abuse after another, his followers depict themselves as somehow the people truly suffering unfairness. Trump was a perpetrator who thought himself a victim, and American society has indulged that same illusion among Trump supporters.

Stopping short with impeaching Trump suggests that Trump's crimes are equal in severity to lying about a blowjob that got Clinton impeached. Trump's crimes are infinitely worse than Clinton's. Trump's punishment should be equally more severe. He must be imprisoned.

Let’s not hear any more moral lecturing from so-called conservatives. When the test came in the US (but here too) a clear choice between institutions and chaos, democracy and their own system-wrecking advantage, most either actively cheered, or stayed silent. Authority gone.

Morrison's holidays is when he does nothing in a different location.

PM's anthem, verse 3:
I'm s'posed to be accountable
But I don’t give a toss
Rupert still supports me
and Albo's a dead loss
Funding cuts for the auditor
and that pesky ABC
I don't accept the premise
of our democracy.
In joyful strains then let me sing
No-one can question me.

Trump came to power as the repudiation of the Republican establishment. But the conservative political class and the new leader soon reached an understanding. Whatever their differences on issues like trade and immigration, they shared a basic goal: to strip-mine public assets for the benefit of private interests.

The metamorphosis of Jesus Christ from a humble servant of the abject poor to a symbol that stands for gun rights, prosperity theology, anti-science, limited government (that neglects the destitute) and fierce nationalism is truly the strangest transformation in human history.

Weird that Scott Morrison has consistently basked in NSW’s successes during the pandemic but now is nowhere to be seen as soon as the going gets tough.
