Aviem Sella - spying for Israel in the United States Michael Liberty - campaign finance and related offences. Take a guess. Greg Reyes - securities fraud Michael Ashley - bank fraud Elliott Broidy - Deputy Republican National Congress Chair - unregistered ...
That's a much narrower version of what a pardon has been conceived for historically. The thing about Trump is he's shown that even fairly hard norms are easily overridden if you have the strength of personality to do so. That risk is now too great - Trump ...
Sure a review would be a start. But the appropriate delegated power to override injustice is found in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Presidential role should be propose members of that court and no more. It otherwise becomes more and more trial by tv. The ...
Its a residual power holdover from Kings and monarchical rule. No President should have it, and he's debased it so much it should be removed.
Therapeutic absolutely, but much of the damage of the Trump (and indeed Johnson) administrations is permanent. At least we get to know we lived through the peak of the human world at its most wasteful, most globalised, most organised, most liberal, most ...
Oh horseshit. http://www.michaelbassett.co.nz/books.php You don't have to agree with his philosophical take in the 1980s, but he's actually done extensive published work, and in the field of NZ political biography few get near him.
Currently Bay of Plenty Kiwifruit will be in high demand (already has been), then there's all the grape nets from Otago to Northland, then there's all kinds of harvests through to Autumn, then there's pruning of all tree crops into winter. There's no ...
A shrine for hard right and hard left alike. Should install a fenced octagon.
Great to see up to 2000 seasonal workers flying in this week, with a $22.10 minimum, ready for harvest peak. All with 14 day quarantine. Looking forward to more shortages pressuring wages.
Perhaps, but I see a lot of stale straw arguments and intellectual laziness here as well. We used to have one ex-Minister who came on here. At the moment we don't appear to have anyone commenting here with any elected Parliamentary experience at all. For ...
If they focused on the rights and wrongs of the multiple Departments and Crown Entities that they headed for many years, Bassett, Brash and Hide would be powerful commentators. All of their CV's are politically impresive. They've launched to seek clickbait...
Bernie Sanders as Chair of Senate Budget Committee is sure going to tie a few Republican Senator knickers in a knot. In particular Sr Linsey Graham who would have got the job were it not for the Democrats gaining the Georgia two. Sanders will have a fun ...
You twenty-plus hipsters with your ... hmmm ... phones and things ... and all that interwebby stuff. You just don't understand.
In August 2020 the MacDiarmid Institute set out five good alternatives to Tiwai Point's current use. It would have been better for us all if the best of them had been given a year to develop further, with assistance from Southland development agencies, ...
Looking forward to seeing how that plays out.
Alexandria Ocazio-Cortez sure sounds like a good person who is using her powerful social media platforms to to a lot of good. Her discussion in the last 20 minutes there of deradicalising racists and using conversations for good is just awesome. I'm sure ...
Any influence AOC has will be in the upcoming climate policies, which is what she put her effort into with the Biden transition team. Most Biden-administration policies have been well laid out in the election campaign and in his releases since then, and ...
Anyone going weepy over the NRA filing for bankruptcy? Generations of good Democrat politicians and Democrat candidates just demolished by them.
In the remaining weeks of January, every employee and manager need to be talking about how to work from home in 2021, so we can prepare better for when the next wave hits us here.
You misunderstand his position, both formally and informally. The initial splits are occurring today and tomorrow as impeachment and other censures are debated.
Both my company and my key clients are expecting lockdowns this year. Our preparedness is routinely grilled on big bids. So we should all prepare for lockdowns this year.
Just claim on Twitter that organic marijuana cigarettes cure Covid. Easy.
McConnell's purge of elected Republicans following the insurrection should help form the breakaway party needed to really fissure the US hard right in time for mid-terms.
Your faith is touching but on their record unwarranted. Every other 5Eyes participant regularly roasts their attackers. If we know, so should we. If we dont, we should state our pursuit.
On critical infrastructure failure we deserve more than a vacuum. 5 Eyes membership should give us that relevant analysis access. We have no reason to be the only silent agency in the group.
We certainly don't suffer from a shortage of attacks.
The Academy Awards should just livestream Inauguration Day as Rise Of The Tribe of Bane. Smile for the profilers team.
Why is it our intelligence agencies cant tell us why when or who the NZX and Reserve Bank cyberattacks occurred but other 5Eyes partners can figure out theirs. They need to join the dots between that 5Eyes support for Hong Kong protesters and against the ...
Your wish is their command: “I have also today signed further amendments to our Air Border Order which include: from 11.59pm on Friday 15 January, travellers arriving on all flights from the UK and US must have had a negative test result for COVID-19 in ...
They will figure out the same ways to communicate as Middle East terrorists have from the last three decades. I'm looking forward to the entire Homeland Security apparatus focused on their dominant domestic threat. It'll happen at some point.
A bipartisan repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act would be a great start. https://www.theverge.com/21273768/section-230-explained-internet-speech-law-definition-guide-free-moderation Not only would it have bipartisan Senate support, it ...
