We are in the same situation regards brush cutting. Decided to leave it as long as possible- hopefully till natural die off in autumn- before we get stuck in cause the long grass is unbeatable for stopping the ground from being cooked.

Just been processing mangoes for the dehydrator. Wind is ugly and north here. Has been since last night. Maybe a sneaky back beach available but I can’t take off left cause my outside rail hand won’t stand up to pressure yet.

I need a day off from the sun anyway....fried .

ABC 4 Corners US Bookend Set
https://iview.abc.net.au/show/four-corners

"Downfall : The Last Days of President Trump"
Episode gives a better overview of the massive scale of planned Capital Hill Riot!

"President Biden"
Quote from biographer Evan Osnos: "
"But because of his Life, He ended up being this Public Political Symbol of Suffering and Resilience & eventually he embraced it, but he actually didn't want to be that."

Wesley Lowery (Author) :
"Joe Biden has been defined in Public Life by Heartbreak & Empathy, that when Joe Biden steps up at the Funeral...You know! That those tears are real."

Expect plenty more attributes like those during this episode.
Plenty of US ( B vs W) turning points with Joe in the Hot seat.
With each mistake Joe makes, he goes about squaring it, better than any could.
Joe's Life Story is steeped in Pain & Humanity...exceptional must see episode.

Joe was born a Stutterer & has spent a lifetime working at it!
Joe's past Plagiarism hobby will sit you up straight...Say Wot!
They example Joe transfixing on certain iconic Pollie's Video / scripted Speeches.
It's possible we see Plagiarism where Joe is reciting thru lack of speech confidence.
[ 5:00] " Biden would stand in front of his mirror & recite Classic passages."
tbb is calling it...This was not Plagiarism but a disabled man's "Orator Workshop"

This is still likely to be his...'now hidden for fear of ridicule' coping mechanism.
tbb watched Joe's live inauguration speech...10mins before he slurred a plain word!
Very much Heralded as the Pin Up for Stutterers...(Not Joking!)

Also this creeping young girl hair smelling may be to reminisce his lost daughter.
This strange sniffing could also be linked to Stuttering...sounds odd but true!
Was reading that Parkinsons & Covid patients lose both a sense of smell & stutter.
Smelling of Hair may be a least offensive reset for normality, a fine tune as it were!
Sure, it's always gonna look creepy, but those around him allow his odd quick fix.
Awe inspiring that a senior fighting open disorders & setbacks is President. Wow!

And here we go :

“Joe Biden has scrapped a policy instituted by President Trump that mandated US colleges and universities to report all connections with the Chinese government to encourage transparency in the face of evidence that CCP propaganda is infiltrating the education system.”

the 'media driven propaganda' joe average is supposed to just shut up and swallow?

the 'dangerous' false 'narrative' being portrayed?

the 'fake news'?

this shit is just off the charts

rawanda comparisons? ...seriously cnn?! ...seriously anderson cooper?!

I used to have a slither of respect for that man, but he is just... well... errr... deranged...

still!

someone help me out here, do these people actually believe the bullshit they are peddling?

or is it just part of the new game?

for the record, it was a lefty vehemently trump hating mate that sent me this link, absolutely disgusted at the misinformation, ...the flat out propaganda and lies...

@sypkan

I watched this yesterday but just commenting now.

That video was interesting, and it is getting harder and harder too know what to believe from basically any media mainstream or alternative media, left or right.

I havent fact checked it but the two main points from the video i recall apart from how media have misreported things is.

1. George floyd results now show he died of drug overdose? (hmmm got to say im extremely suss on this, surely if this was true it would be big news?)

2. The police officer that died at capitol riots was not beaten to death and not beaten with a fire extinguisher, but died latter at home from a heart attack?

And others at the Capitol riots died of natural causes, other than the unarmed women, who was murdered, which ive read nothing of since?

Surprised and also not surprised if you know what i mean, that this hasn't been more of a media topic, was it investigated?....so hard to understand from watching the footage how a head or chest shot could be found to be justified?

Weird world we now live in, 2020 to me feels like a real turning point in so many ways, or just a very widespread mistrust of pretty much all media from a large percentage of the population and not restricted to left or right etc.

You know what’s fckd?

I should be all about the Democrats but, like the ALP, they’re so far down that neoliberal hole that they’re not even a viable vote for the working class. Like the ALP they just play act on the margins in order to get into power. Just get out of the fckn way and let someone with genuine intent have a go !

Alas....that’s never going to happen. Modern democracy is nothing but an illusory choice. It’s all a game. Doesn’t have to be that way but the dice are loaded on both sides by corrupt, inept and useless cnts.

There is no mainstream Australian political left.

There’s fake-left and pro-neoliberal ALP or there’s uber-woke , fake-left Greens. That’s it and that’s all. Unelectable both.

It’s only contrast with the ultimate fckwits of the LNP that anyone would ever consider them for more than a short heartbeat.

“There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it,” McConnell declared in the Senate. “The people that stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.”

“And having that belief was the foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole, which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on the Earth,” McConnell said.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pelosi-mcconnell-trial-delay-impeachment_...

McConnell stalled the trial, then insisted it was too late to convict Trump, because he believes it is unconstitutional to convict a former president.

Which is total horseshit anyway.

The GOP is scared and broken.

Well done, Trumpzi. Playing the long game con like that. You weren't buddies with the Clinton set all those years for nowt. The corpo Dems salute you.

the GOP may well be scared and broken

but the democrats are scareder and brokener... by a significant factor...

you've just got to look at their last four years of terrible and reactionary decisions to know that...

terrible and terribly reactionary decusions actually, nearly every one, every step of the way...

if you don't believe me, the questions at the end of this video show it to be true too

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=251263566611887&id=159351817...

basically, ...if joe biden is so popular, and won so convincingly, then why are the democrats and their media enablers so desperately censoring everything?

shouldn't they all be confident in their convincing win? ...their support? ...in their mandate?

it's a fair question, and a very telling question, as is the rest of the vid, from a 'person of colour' no less... a pretty hot one if I may be so crass

...I don't expect an answer... never do... just more lamemo...

Probably only time i havent agreed with her is on some Covid stuff.

let's start with the whiole 2016 campaign

russia

the kavanaugh trials

impeachment 1 (failed)

impeachment 2 (failed)

russia again

backing antifa for four years only to deny their very existence when shit got too hot

the 'peaceful protests', ...vehemently defended, encouraged, funded... 'incited' even!!
