    Exclusive: Trump lawyers in talks with Justice Department about January 6 criminal probe – CNNPolitics

    Sure hope the US Department of Justice do a whole chunk better than the New York prosecutors who simply got nowhere trying to prosecute Trump Inc after several years of inquiry.

    UK Labour lost 27% of its membership between 2020 and 2022. That's mindblowing.

    "If he becomes Prime Minister, and I think there's a good chance he does, I think he will be a better Prime Minister than John Key was a governor. But that slight difference means that he doesn't quite have that easy-going, instant connection that John Key had."

    We live in a multi dimensional New Zealand……

      That's a quote from a Nat hack. He goes on to say Luxon is …

      "very, very detail oriented, very systematic in his thinking"

      This is about a guy who couldn't predict that Roe v Wade would make headlines, who couldn't even sort out his social media, and who can't even decide the "details" of tax policy.

      I assume Hehir doesn't believe what he spins, but if National want to keep up that absurd pretence, they are very welcome.

    The BIG question that should be put to National every day on ALL of their anti Labour antidotes is "show me the money"…….. questions questions questions…from the msm…..

    Ps..is Barry Soper still on this mortal coil…..are we really that comfortably numb…..

      If I were Luxon's media manager I'd start inserting lines like:

      "Labour couldn't run a bath."

      "She made everything worse."

      "All change no result"

      "Compassion got us nowhere."

      "The things that worked are the things National started."

      "Stop racist governance."

      Doesn't matter if it's true, it just needs to sound plausible.

        Doesn't matter if it's true…

        It matters to me – does that mean I don't matter?

        I did an Advanced Google Search for:

        New Zealand National Party
        10/06/2022 — It's an incredible privilege and honour to have been elected Leader of the New Zealand National Party. I bring a fresh set of eyes, and what I see is that …

    There is of the concept of human rights – regardless of race, religion, creed, gender, sexuality etc.

    Ignoring the widespread illegal surveillance and targeting of the left and various progressives and whistle blowers, this has supposedly been established as practice in democratic nations and the experience of most of the middle class (those ruled over have a different perspective and confront gaslighting when saying so).

    For decades women's organisations fought for the gender equality in society participation for those born female, and this along with the safety of women (in private and public spaces/places) was seen as a righteous feminist cause.

    Of late there has emerged advocacy for the transgender cause. This is essentially about not being required to conform to birth sex as ones gender ID.

    This is merely preparing us for interface with AI (quantum computing capacity opens this up) and genetic modification of the human DNA. As this guy explains (and some of the human experimentation has been done on targeted individuals by the "security" establishment, the religious and political right) "we are animals that can be hacked".

    lol….Labour hasn't been in power since 2010, Sunak entered parliament in 2015 and was appointed chancellor in 2020.

    But I guess any Tory worth supporting has to be seen to be cruel to the poors.
