So, should the MSM pivot from “Luxon to be rolled” to “Nat MPs lose their bottle”?

The Russian poet Mandelstam’s description of Stalin’ relationship between the dictator and his loyal servants applies perfectly to Trump and his henchmen: ‘Ringed with a scum of chicken-​necked bosses / he toys with the tributes of half-​men / One whistles, one meows, a third snivels’.

5.34 million New Zealanders, and only one of us thinks Luxon is the man for the job.

(The exception is Luxon himself).

In both Karl Marx and Donald Trump’s worlds, truth, like justice and morality, is not absolute. It is framed and shaped by the ruling class to serve the end of perpetuating its own hegemony.

TBH, I don't care if Luxon survives or not, but whichever way it goes I hope it results in a Left government after the elections.

So have I got this right - no National MP is respected by enough of his/her colleagues to win support to lead the party.
This must be the first time they align with my judgement.

The great unwashed are more invested in culture war issues than existential future issues.

Thinking of adding "AI" my name to improve my value 600%.

Even if NATO got donkey-deep into the Iran war and securing the Straits of Hormuz, this wouldn’t mean that the 🍊💩 wouldn’t try to destroy NATO anyway. It might just postpone it until the shooting stops.

I’m desperately hoping that in the run-up to our elections the Coalition of Corruption can get JD Vance out to NZ to make a speech in their support.

Sounds like Schrödinger's Straits of Hormuz really, doesn’t it?

I love Americans belief that putting people “under oath” results in the truth coming out.

Israel will do everything in its power to void the ceasefire.

The NZ Cabinet re-shuffle was we need is for Luxon to be placed on the discard pile.

For myself, I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather rely on to see us through a fuel crunch than Nicola Willis and Shane Jones.

Just not with my own teenage offspring.

Things I’ve learned from apocalypse movies: #1 - Get rid of any teenagers in your family on day one. They’ll only disobey instructions soon and get you into a world of hurt.

Mr President, these Iranians that you’re negotiating with, are they in the room with you now?

The Marsden Point refinery probably wouldn’t be the saviour Shane Jones is telling you it is. Here’s why After a few weeks of murmurings at the edge of debates, disagreements about the former Marsden Point oil refinery reached a fever pitch on Tuesday.

Shane Jones telling lies?
Who would have guessed?

It would work for me if they just shut up with the whining.

Hey NActFirst, while no one can afford fuel the roads will be empty, so now’s the time to get on with building more of them!

Oh well played ASBBank. Hiding the “Log Off” button on your iPhone App kept me amused for ten minutes.

OFFS, the people who "designed" TicketMaster's processes should be charged with crimes against humanity, the developers who wrote their Apps should be drummed out of the IT industry, and any event manager who uses TicketMaster should be summarily fired.

Ouch.

Winston Peters is reminds us of the grumpy, racist, know-it-all old uncle that everyone seems to have had.

At least we have no ferries to use our diminishing stocks of fuel.

I’m quite happy for politicians to have a contest of ideas. I get incensed by the lying.

Nostradamus Peters: I predicted resignation of Fonterra CEO.
Is this man ever wrong about anything?
