Cattle farmers would rather cop Trump’s tariffs than diseases from American beef

Related to this, Sally Sara on RN Brekkie interviewed some Merkan GoP Senator who advocates for OrangeOaf to levy 70% tariffs on Oz beef. Sally respectfully asked about their previous Mad Cow outbreak, from which our system insulated us; ofc he rubbished this. Sally was far more courteous than i'd have been. I'd have bluntly told him that we don't want any of their shit agricultural rubbish in Straya, coz their existing standards & practices are fucked, & under the Oaf, they're gonna get far worse.

Just read both https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/03/what-australians-flying-to-the-us-need-to-know-about-phone-and-device-searches-at-the-border and https://theintercept.com/2025/03/29/customs-us-border-travel-airports-phone-searches/. Both list in much detail sensible steps to take. Equally though, both are totes negligent in not mentioning the #1 best advice of all...

Stay the fuck away from Merka altogether!

Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.

Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.

I mean, honestly, the cognitive dissonance is just immense. The same place that can do wonders like this, https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/ce3qzn31z64o, also does #OrangeOaf. It's so beyond bizarre.

https://social.chinwag.org/@abc_bot/114258472133420823 Monumental duplicitous hypocrisy!

One of the most oxymoronic t-shirts i've seen in a while.

A 20 y/o who's not only conservative, but trumpian. What a deluded misguided wollybutt.

Wie wär es mit einer Smash Alexa Challange?
Ich müsste mir dafür extra eine kaufen.
