David Littleproud resigns as leader of National party, saying he’s ‘buggered’

David Littleproud has quit as leader of the Nationals, admitting that he is “buggered” and needs a break, and calling for a partyroom meeting to elect a successor.
Littleproud was joined by his wife, Amelia Littleproud, as he made the shock announcement after question time on Tuesday.
First elected to parliament in 2016, Littleproud is a former agriculture and water resources minister, and has led the Nationals since May 2022.
Littleproud said he intended to stay on in politics, representing the Queensland seat of Maranoa.
“I’m happy to serve in whatever capacity, but I haven’t got the energy to lead,” he said.

Translation: he got what he wanted and he can’t deal with it. Obviously the whole point of him pulling the Nationals out of the coalition was to make the other side dump Sussan Ley, and he was successful there, but it looks like “well done Angus” Taylor has been another matter for him. Oh well, no sympathy for Dave, he inflicted Angus on the country and now he’s all our problem… cunt.

If you insist, Convicted Racist Andrew Bolt. I don’t know if anyone left or right outside of Mushroom Cock’s immediate sphere of influence and his media bootlickers believes anyone is winning this bullshit in the Middle East right now; I mean, they can’t even agree on why they’re doing whatever the fuck’s they’re doing; after Marco Rubio kind of blamed Israel for involving the US, his orangeness said he really forced Israel’s hand, not the opposite. Like I said before, I don’t think either side was going to not pull this stunt at some point, and they were going to do it together; whoever pulled the first switch doesn’t really matter, much like those schoolgirls clearly didn’t.

Also, I don’t know if Andrew Bolt, who is a convicted racist, picked that photo of old cuntface to go with his story or not, but what a grotesque choice of picture when you know what it is:

Which is to say, it’s a photo of him at the “dignified transfer” of the remains of six US soldiers killed in Kuwait at the start of the cucrrent conflict. Not only did the cunt refuse to remove his hat, he wore a fucking baseball cap honouring himself. The only worse thing he could’ve done would’ve been wearing an actual MAGA cap. What an unmitigated piece of subhuman shit he is. And what a hideous choice of picture to accompany a piece by Andrew Bolt, a man with a conviction for racism, praising him for winning this “war”. Neither of them can die soon enough.

The war rages on…

…and Mushroom Cock’s maintaining the old friendships as it does so. Yeah… um… Wilson only agreed to join WW1 in April 1917, and it wasn’t until September of the following year (you know, just a few weeks before it was all over) that he finally agreed to let the American forces actually fight as such, and then in WW2 it similarly took nearly a year after Pearl Harbour for the Americans to actually start fighting (and not until 1944 did they actually start living up to the “Europe first” strategy, having been more interested in getting revenge on Japan). Some of us remember who were the actual belated participants in those conflicts, Krasnov…

Well, we’ve all been there, I’m sure. This charming character has now replaced the dog murderer Kristi Noem as the head of Homeland Security, with Mushroom Cock apparently deciding she’d finally become too much of a liability even for him… cos apart from her terrible management of events in Minneapolis, there’s also this:

Simultaneously, reports began to emerge of turmoil at the department and Noem engaging in a personal relationship with Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager who is her senior adviser, despite both being married.
In February, the Wall Street Journal published a lengthy report into her leadership of the department that found Noem and Lewandowski had done little to obfuscate their personal relationship, while berating staff and administering polygraph tests to those they did not trust.
The pair had been traveling on a luxury 737 Max jet equipped with a private cabin, which the department has been seeking to acquire for around $70m for “high-profile deportations”. In one instance, Lewandowski fired a US Coast Guard pilot who left a blanket belonging to Noem on a plane, but then reinstated him because there was no one else to fly them back.

Not that Marklar will be much better, I’m sure:

US strikes on Iran triggered by Israel’s plan to launch attack, Rubio says

Israel’s determination to attack Iran and the certainty that US troops would be targeted in response forced the Trump administration to take pre-emptive strikes, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said, in a new explanation for Washington’s surprise entry into the conflict.
The rationale drew divided reviews from top members of Congress who on Monday evening received the first briefing by the Trump administration since it ordered the air campaign to begin over the weekend.

Rubio; the CIA director, John Ratcliffe; and joint chiefs of staff, chair Dan Caine; spoke to the lawmakers behind closed doors in the Capitol ahead of a vote expected later this week in the House of Representatives on a war powers resolution that presents an unlikely opportunity to force Trump to end hostilities against Iran.
“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone – the United States or Israel or anyone – they were going to respond, and respond against the United States,” Rubio told reporters at the Capitol.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

So technically it’s all Israel’s fault that the US got into this war because Israel wasn’t going to not bomb Iran and the latter was going to blame the US for it and retaliate against them accordingly, so the US may as well get in first if Israel was going to make them. As if the US were ever going to keep out of this bullshit anyway, of course.

That’s not what most people would call a success, but Mushroom Cock is not most people, of course. With the shitshow now encompassing Lebanon as well, I have a feeling this is indicative of how it’s going to continue.

Yeah, great, just what we all needed, Israel and the US swinging its collective dick once again… Conceding that Khamenei was an entire piece of shit, I still feel like this is a less than ideal solution to him (worked so well in Iraq, eh). You can’t even say Iran will be better off cos who can say that whoever comes next won’t be as bad if not worse. But this wasn’t going to not happen, was it? There’s been so much talk about it that it was bound to happen sooner or later, though I don’t know if people expected it quite so soon…

…or maybe someone did, and has been duly financially rewarded as a result.

But yeah, Trump was going to do this eventually. He was going to start a way so that he could then end the war and claim his Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, he’s been predicting it himself for over a decade:

As they say, “there’s always a Tweet”. And also…

Woof. That’s a bit more blunt than some commenters about this being a distraction from the Epstein thing, but it’s not necessarily wrong… though some would tell me off for thinking so:

But surely no one minimises the situation as much as the regime does. I mean, Mushroom Cock and Bibi wouldn’t even have considered those hundred plus schoolgirls who were killed in that one attack to have been human in the first place. They wouldn’t even be considered collateral damage. Of course, you can take an even worse approach to the matter:

So… the school was on a military base that was the real target and no kids wer killed, but if they were that was kind of their tough shit, apparently, for being a legitimate military target. Is that what Emily’s saying? I see claims that the base was also a medical facility, though I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it still doesn’t exactly make the situation better. As i also saw someone say on BS, either the US/Israel attacked this place without knowing there was a school full of students there on a day when they would’ve been there (apparently Saturday is the first day of the week in the Iranian calendar), or they did know and didn’t care. Intelligence failure vs humanity & morality failure. I’m actually inclined to believe the latter is more the case.

And with all due respect to Greg, and I do respect him:

I’m as sick of doomerism as he is, especially when, frankly, I engage in it myself, but… I’m even more sick of there being neither precedent nor process for Trump to do the things he keeps doing anyway. He can’t do this war he’s doing right now. That’s not stopping him. They’re still trying to get rid of Kilmar Abrego Garcia after a judge said they’d illegally deported him to El Savador. I keep seeing people say “the Constitution doesn’t let TrumpCorp do XYZ” as if they think Trump et all give a fuck about the rule of law when it comes to them. You want to complain about people being “doomers” in the face of… *vaguely gestures*… then you need to offer them something more than the threat of being blocked on social media.

And what have Krasnov’s underlings had to say?

Oh. Always a Tweet (or WSJ opinion piece) indeed…
