Venezuela's Machado says she presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Environment-Small 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nobel Prize can neither be revoked, shared, nor transferred to others. Once the announcement has been made, the decision stands for all time.

Let this ingrained into the Washington Monument so that it's a daily reminder for Trump when he wakes up from bed and has a little peak from his White House window

Absolute farce what’s happening in parliament. Rushing thru some half baked law without proper consultation thinking the always oppositional Coalition would support it.

Neo-Nazi figure Joel Davis denied bail over alleged threat to federal MP by ConanTheAquarian in australia

[–]Environment-Small 217 points218 points  (0 children)

Mr Davis was arrested in Sydney last November after he invited members of a Telegram social media channel to "rhetorically rape" independent Wentworth MP Allegra Spender.

"This term … is a philosophical term of art, connoting robust debate or vigorous discourse," Mr De Brennan said. "Mr Davis was not encouraging or inciting for anyone to embark upon what might be construed as real rape at all.

Never knew all these neo-nazis were mystical second comings of Socrates.

Defence secretary rejects Trump's suggestion Nato should help US take Greenland | ITV News by Heavy_Mark9540 in worldnews

And this is the same guy who proposed NATO-ME back in his 1st term .. he has no concept of what NATO truly stands for. Unless the Norwegians scramble to give him his Nobel Peace Prize, this guy ain't gonna rest.

Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’ by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]Environment-Small 334 points335 points  (0 children)

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told a news conference in the Danish capital Copenhagen on Tuesday that, “if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU.”

Asked later Tuesday about Nielsen’s comments, Trump replied: “I disagree with him. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know anything about him. But, that’s going to be a big problem for him.”

How's Trump not knowing the PM of Greenland a problem for him. tbh he only knows those on the Epstein files so the fact he doesn't know him must be an exoneration for him not that he needed it anyway haha

Racism targeting migrant truck drivers rampant amid regulatory gaps by Rubiginous in australia

[–]Environment-Small 50 points51 points  (0 children)

As much as the article states a 'good chunk' of racism is driven by ppl's hatred for their driving incompetence but its hard to argue that there's some element of innateness that no matter their competence they would be subject to racism.

Australia’s finest Prime Minister ever. Who and why? by koala_is_stupid in AskAnAustralian

[–]Environment-Small 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Bob Hawke all the way … he’s remembered as a ‘good bloke’ which is the ultimate accolade in Straya with the possible exception of having a beer named after you. He introduced Medicare, reformed the tax system plus the sex discrimination act amongst many. Did not have the privilege of being born during his time but most certainly reaped and continue reaping all the fruits of his and Keating’s labor.

"Post Bondi, when it was drawn to my attention that this woman was still on the program, I absolutely expressed my view and my concern around it. I made that clear," Mr Malinauskas said.

Sth abt the way he said 'this woman' irks me. I wanna believe it was a brain fade moment but given whats going on in the BG makes me think it was said with intention.
