Stuff the Senate -

Trump should have gone straight to Congress -
he is using tricks to avoid scrutiny.

We used to have a good number of female members here. Some have passed on sadly.
Sophia and Aquarius have been awesome for the forum.
...unlike Karnal (FD, Melanie's Purse, etc) and Proud Gay Aussie who try dismally to convince us they do a better job in the feminine way.
There is another gay here who doesn't need to act or antagonise for victimhood and is respected for it.
I forgot Buzzanji but he occasionally appears for short periods. He's ok, he's not a slimy.

More 'real' women here would be good.

I have returned from my work trip and I can report that there is no fuel issue other then price gouging that our government agents ACCC will do nothing about.

I find it interesting that community with nearly zero public transport are the first to run out of fuel.

However cities with plenty of public transportation have plenty of fuel at a reasonable price?

This might be okay now.

But once regional Australia can’t fuel their tractors to harvest our summer crops nor have diesel to think about planting winter crops ?



Think about it.

Government needs to step up and explain clearly how we can access our 90 day supply store in America?

Angus Taylor signed off on it but apparently Chris Bowen can’t communicate how our country  emergency management with the the USA works?

And our main stream media are too drunk to even understand it’s a question that needs answering 🥳

Hi  alcoholic suffering media people.

I know you are reading this. Have another glass of wine 🤪

There are now more service stations around our area void of selling diesel.
Petrol only is for sale at $2.35 litre. And gas is .89 c
Two weeks ago I filled up for $1.54 litre.

And all I see is Albo’s face trying to give an almost comical “don’t panic” vibe.
When the government says don’t panic…. Everyone better stack up of dry foods and canned products and lastly….toilet paper!
Once truckers can’t get diesel to deliver goods to supermarkets, then what happens to supermarket shelves?
Oh my spidey senses are telling me it’s a repeat of how COVID lockdown stripped supermarket shelves is going to happen…. how long before this war ends? Iran is bombing any transport sailing into the gulf where all the refineries are.
Is it true? We only have 2 refineries left in Oz?

Neither President Harry S. Truman nor President John F. Kennedy obtained a formal declaration of war or specific, pre-authorization from Congress for their major military involvements in Korea and Vietnam, respectively. Instead, they utilized executive power, acting under broader, existing, or international authorizations, which established precedents for later presidential war-making powers.



Harry S. Truman (Korean War, 1950–1953)
No Formal Declaration: Truman did not ask Congress for a declaration of war, characterizing the conflict instead as a "police action" under the auspices of the United Nations.


UN and Executive Authority: Truman committed U.S. air, ground, and naval forces based on UN Security Council resolutions calling for assistance to South Korea.


Congressional Support: While not passing a formal declaration, Congress generally supported the intervention, including voting to extend the draft to support the effort. However, the lack of formal, explicit authorization was criticized at the time.


John F. Kennedy (Vietnam War, 1961–1963)
Advisors and Counterinsurgency: Kennedy significantly increased the number of U.S. military "advisors" in South Vietnam from approximately 1,000 to over 15,000 by late 1963.


Executive Action: These deployments were done through executive orders and memoranda (such as NSAM 263) rather than congressional authorization.


No Combat Authorization: While Kennedy authorized a more "visible and hazardous role," he maintained that U.S. personnel were there to train, advise, and support, not to engage in direct combat. The formal authorization for direct, large-scale combat (the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution) did not occur until 1964, after his death.

Remember when petrol first got up to $2+ ltr years ago.
And lots of snazzy 4x4s and other big vehicle petrol guzzlers were on the side of roads and strips FOR SALE.
I guess they haven't learned.
