Counterpoint: Yes it is okay for me to hate Donald Trump, and for once science (if this is real science and not pseudoscience bullshit) can get fucked

Please please please I don’t want Luxon to get rolled I need him to be a 1 term PM. I want him to be responsible for a LOSS. No rolling only losing.

I guess technically they won the American Civil War?

This is just to say

I am ignoring
the polls
that are so bad
and so low

and which
you were probably
going to use
as an excuse for the spull

I’m not sorry
I can’t be rolled
I will have my entitlements
and I won’t be told.

Mr Luxon is one of those very rare people whom its impossible to apply a theory of mind. Can you imagine his inner life in any form but its absence? The only books he reads are self-help. He cannot maintain an exchange of complex thoughts. Every interview descends into banalities within minutes

Seems to me it would be pretty straight forward to carve out, say 5% of production & have a mandatory pricing formula for sale to the local market. Any reduction in profits to Fonterra can be considered due payment for the deferral of methane taxes, river and wetland remediation by taxpayers, etc.

Do you reckon he'll order the limo again to take him from the front door of the Beehive back to his apartment across Molesworth Street?

All that's missing is a cross necklace. That cute little heart of diamonds ain't going to cut it.

True, but it's also not wrong of people to ask Labour to be bolder and more forceful in countering the 'malignant, incompetent and corrupt'. We can see in the UK and in Aust real time examples of Lab govts following on from corrupt Tories, and failing to take significant corrective actions.

Even more so when the same people think Labour is better at managing inflation! What exactly is it that National are better at managing economically?

Iran is actually defending itself by the real definition of self defence, and not the bullshit definition invented by genicidal Israel.

Bombshell poll results confirmed: Labour six points ahead of National Labour has a six point lead over National, and could take power if an election was called today, according to the latest poll.

I know it's only one poll that ultimately means nothing, but I'm relishing the angst this is going to cause the Nats this weekend, and especially the recently invisible Luxon! πŸ₯³πŸ˜‚

Good grief, is he still arguing against VPNs as a form of protection? I blocked him after his first couple of posts, I admire your fortitude!

It’s a pointless question. Every party leader ever has had the support of their caucus- right up until the minute they didn’t

They’re taking their time releasing it. I wonder if Goldsmith is furiously making calls and calling in favours to try and spike it?

He trusts the authority of a military who has sacked any lawyers who might raise pesky legal issues with military actions, and whose Secretary of Defence outright says that the military should not be 'shackled' by rules of engagement? I've got some prime seafront property to sell him next low tide.

She's lasted an incredible number of Scaramucci's, and I think is the first of the cabinet rank/senior adviser group to be shitcanned this time around? I'd put that down to even less moral fibre and self esteem in this bunch than those in the inner circle in 2017.

Handing out gold sprayed participartion 'peace' trophies and medals to wannabe dictators, and awarding World Cups to petro-states that use slave labour build stadiums is not apolitical. Infantino has presided over the ongoing corruption and politicisation of FIFA and the World Cup.

I'm not going to be at all surprised if Luxon develops a health issue necessitating his resignation this weekend, or at some point in the near future. Or otherwise just declaring he's achieved all his KPIs and has nothing more he can achieve as PM (which would sort of be true!)

The trouble is the training data set. Israel have bombed so many schools and hospitals an AI would think they are genuine targets (/s)
