tuning into #TheDrum for some US insurrection discussion.
“the secret service has final say over the presidents person” is one for the West Wing brain crew (I was West Wing brain crew once upon a time) #TheDrum
“it’s the presidents job constitutionally to defend every law in America” is West Wing brain swoon lol #TheDrum
the vast majority of Americans who voted for Donald Trump have made up their minds [on the insurrection] and are not going to change - Arvanitakis. #TheDrum
refreshing fact check imo. Fanning reverts immediately to a “both sides of the aisle” narrative because there are Republicans on the Jan 6 committee but there is no evidence whatsoever that means anything to Trump voters. Bothsides coverage is mostly media vanity. #TheDrum
I mean look at what Banon went on to do even after a bunch of Australian journos defended the projected and delusional supposed utility of Sarah Ferguson asking him tuff questions lol like that makes any difference.
the Republicans might decide against endorsing Trump again after the mid-terms, says Planet America bloke whose name I forget. He says there are a lot of Trump-y candidates being endorsed right now. Pre-loaded like the SCOTUS I guess. #TheDrum
the Republican Party is authoritarian to its core, says Fanning. Another refreshing fact check. Seems to be the night for it #TheDrum
there are no democratic returns there is no accountability, Fanning says, reading from an LSE prof published in the Atlantic. Is this how democracies die in the 21st century? Can this candidate [Trump] run again? He could win again? #TheDrum
Phelps takes this Q to the second amendment and the level of gun ownership. Says ifTrump is re-elected American democracy is in trouble, or will be #TheDrum

good morning from unceded Darug lands🥶today on #Insiders are Guardian politics editor Katharine Murphy, Canberra Times columnist Professor Mark Kenny, and 9fax (AFR) politics editor Phil Coorey. The interview is with Arts and Workplace Minister Tony Burke.
opening spiel: the new parliament is about to sit. I shoulda said Burke is probably the interview as new Leader the House. Speers then lists a roll call of disasters. #Insiders
there will be plenty of focus on the new parliament, says Soeers, of his colleagues. He then equivocates cost of living with the plagues and climate catastrophes. #Insiders

good morning from unceded Darug lands 🌧🌧today on #Insiders are TSP corro Karen Middleton, ABC Canberra newsreader Dan Bourchier and murdoch reporter Clare Armstrong. The interview is with health minister Mark Butler.
opening spiel is foreign relations - with China, in the Indo Pacific, the Wong meeting with Chinese foreign affairs minister and Albanese talking China threats at NATO #Insiders
the montage is floods to a soundtrack of these days by Powderfinger. Lots of opposition sniping and journalistic voice from nowhere “Albanese facing criticism” etc #Insiders

australian political journalism studiously comparing Johnson and his random relationship with truth to Trump and only to Trump lol say it cowards.
there are no access implications when confining the convo to foreign leaders is why.
the way their systems can lock up our kids on a swear and a whim but apparently removing tyrannicidaires from power is just so complex lads.

there is no data on Aboriginal and Tortes Strait Islander women so your report is jeopardised - Veronica Gorrie👏🏼👏🏼 #QandA
and what about police violence, says Gorrie. Aboriginal women are falsely identified as perpetrators by police.

This happened to my niece. She was thrown in the wagon - it was a wake - and driven 90 kms away “for her safety”. She was terrified. They could have killed her.
it’s because they don’t give a shit about us they do not care about Aboriginal women - Gorrie.
Yes it is.
