¡Viva Presidente Trump!
So Cheet0 Mussolini defeated Kommunist Kamala and will now RETVRN to his Golden Throne in the White House. TLDR : this is (Very) Bad News for workers and the environment but Good News for Christian nationalists in the United States and a major shot in the arm for right-wing authoritarians the world over. Further, having already stacked the Supreme Court, Trump’s re-ascension to the Presidency has been further augmented by his party gaining control of the Senate and, possibly, the House of Representatives (and thus Congress as a whole).
Insofar as Number 47 has a coherent political program, the implementation of ‘Project 2025’ means the ‘mass deportation’ of migrant workers, purging the US federal government of civil servants who aren’t loyal to him, dismantling critical elements of the public education and healthcare systems (including imposing even harsher restrictions on abortion access and reproductive freedoms generally), the near-total abolition of environmental protections and so on and so forth.
In response, the Australian government has declared its unwavering support for AUKUS and former Prime Minister now US Ambassador KRudd has deleted some unfortunate tweets.

Nazi Deadshit Poets Society
In the film Dead Poets Society, maverick teacher John Keating returned in 1959 to the prestigious New England boys’ boarding school where he was once a star student and used poetry to embolden his pupils to new heights of self-expression. In the Nazi-inspired drama known as the National Socialist Network (NSN), University High School graduate Jacob Hersant found himself before the courts (again) on November 8, 2024, when he was sentenced to one month in prison for composing some astonishingly overwrought poetry saluting An Her0 Adolf.
Hersant’s sentence — which, like his conviction, he’s appealing while on bail — comes just a day after police detained him and three other NSN members: NSN lvl boss Tom Sewell, and two of his other flunkeys (Nathan Bull and Will Casdorff). They’re collectively alleged to have engaged in serious racial vilification, grossly offensive public conduct and intimidating police. (See : Man charged with threatening police, three others expected to be charged over serious racial vilification, ABC, November 7, 2024.) Hersant received a Community Correction Order for 14 months on 27 October 2023 and was instructed to ‘not commit any offence punishable by imprisonment for the next 14 months’ or the length of his Order, with Her Honour Judge Blair stating ‘If you do not comply with the conditions of this order then you will be in breach and you will be brought back to me and I may have to resentence you’.
Sad!
