Bin Chicken 🗑𓅠Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.This picture was originally posted by someone else on Mastodon without Alt-text, so I have liberated it and added Alt-text.<a href="https://rants.au/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Zelensky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Zelensky</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Zelenskyy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Zelenskyy</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/MarkLatham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarkLatham</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/PaulKeating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PaulKeating</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/JohnHoward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JohnHoward</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltText</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/UseAltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UseAltText</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/JeffBezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JeffBezos</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a>

roodIf <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PaulKeating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PaulKeating</a> was a professor I would dodge every lecture except one: the Redfern Address. He's a bit soft on Australian society, but he delves into the unlearning just enough to be credited with an honorable assessment. Then I'd go back to dodging him because of the obvious personality clash. I'm not a fan of Auspol Wiggles.
