Scott Morrison, the one who is ridden around everywhere by Rupert Murdoch as if he were some tamed ostrich or degenerate mule?

Paragon of virtue, that bloke. Shame he’s running Australia into the ground.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams told “Outnumbered Overtime” Friday that the NYPD's decision to disband its plainclothes anti-crime unit has made law enforcement in the city "predictable."

Policing operates off of two mechansims," said Adams, a former NYPD officer and the most prominent Black politician in New York City. "One is the omnipresence of blue and white vehicles, and the other is the element of uncertainty, that bad guys can't believe that policing is a predictable model.

Not having plainclothes, in my belief, on the precinct level, where you can have good supervision ... [means] you’re taking away the element of surprise. Policing cannot be predictable and right now it is predictable for those bad guys that carry guns.”


Duh!


Yes...in blue state. the city caved, the protesters got what they wanted.
Won't be long now until the place is a big mess again.

Scott, Jenny, and the kids...one happy First Family.

Her served in Cabinet from 2013 to 2018, including as Treasurer.

Josh was born in 1971

After completing the HSC, Josh deferred the start of his university studies by a year to play tennis full time. During this period he trained at a tennis academy in Queensland and competed at satellite tournaments throughout Australia as well as other tournaments in Switzerland and Germany.

Returning to Australia, Josh began his tertiary studies at Monash University where he undertook Law and Economics degrees, graduating with Honours in both. During his time at Monash, Josh was an active member of the student body and was elected to the Presidency of the Law Students Society. He was also chosen to represent Australia in tennis at the World University Games, in 1991 in Sheffield, England and again in 1993 in Buffalo, United States.

At university Josh was involved in a number of community activities. He was both a volunteer reader for radio station 3RPH (Radio for the Print Handicapped) and a volunteer coach for the Kids Tennis Foundation where he taught tennis to young people with an intellectual disability. In 2003 Josh accepted an invitation from the Kids Tennis Foundation’s Chairman Paul McNamee to join the board, and has been a member ever since.

He accepted the Commonwealth Scholarship to Oxford University where he completed a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) degree in International Relations.

After Oxford Josh returned to Mallesons and was subsequently admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria. From 1999-2004 Josh worked as a ministerial adviser in Canberra. He worked in succession as an assistant adviser for the then Attorney General, The Hon. Daryl Williams QC, as an adviser and later senior adviser to the Foreign Minister The Hon. Alexander Downer and finally as a senior adviser to the Prime Minister, The Hon. John Howard.

After leaving Canberra Josh spent a month as a jackaroo on a sheep station [ranch] in South Australia before joining Deutsche Bank as a Director of Global Banking in January 2005. Later that year Josh took leave to complete a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, before returning in 2006 to Deutsche Bank in Melbourne.


XXXXX

Scott, Jenny, and Josh....[nurse Jenny is also from the 'help the People' side of the tracks]...we are lucky to have them.
Well hey, if you can't be the best yourself...next best thing is to 'employ' the best.

It does Bambu good if he gets goaded into doing his research. I like players who really commit themselves to a role.

Thank you for that cute bit of antisemitism, Bambi.

In case you had been at risk of not exposing your bigotry today, you took care of it.

No.
You can't borrow Scott, Jenny [was shown sitting on a sofa with Melania in the White House on the State Visit, They were talking and laughing] and Josh.
I know you like them, but because of your Marxist beliefs can't embrace them.

I’d consider tossing them peanuts if I found them exhibited at the zoo. That’s as much as I got for Scott, Josh, and Jenny. I definitely wouldn’t take them home. To hard to clean off the coal dust.

You don't get it.

I saw it as praise. Stereotyping praise. The kind of praise that has gotten Jews killed for centuries.

Keep your fucking stereotypes to yourself, thank you.

Okay, so wearing masks is a violation of your right to spit on your neighbors. I get that, for all that it's stupid.

But insisting on sitting in places marked to be empty? There is no freedom that is involved. That's pure self-indulgence even beyond the mask cluelessness.
