This is going to happen. Whether or not it's ever "official policy", people are going to be killed by this.

None of that matters because they made more money last time he was in office.

I'm starting to think that money in politics is a problem...

It's looking for a gotcha moment to take out of context. During the last Australian federal election the then-Opposition leader (now Prime Minister) was asked what the Reserve Bank cash rate was and he didn't know off the top of his head. The media and now-former government tried to beat it up as a big problem and proof that he wasn't fit to be PM, which is ridiculous (though his actual performance as PM so far is underwhelming). It did lead to a great moment a couple of days later though when they tried it on the leader of the Greens, who just replied "Google it, mate".

Cries in Australian

Unfortunately the press and the peanut gallery have it very wrong on this one.

Deliberately. Comparing it to the Purge rather than the Kristallnacht gives the majority of people who only read the headline the wrong idea about what he actually meant, which derails the discussion towards "crazy old man says another crazy thing" rather than "crazy old fascist says another fascist thing".

In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.

He can be two things. He's a lying piece of shit who is also in rapid cognitive decline.

Which games will be forgotten? The overwhelming majority of them. Which games from the early 2000s are still talked about now? There are some, but a lot more have been completely forgotten.

I think there was just about the right mix of muting the mics and giving him enough rope to hang himself. Harris' campaign supposedly did want the mics unmuted for exactly that reason, but having them muted did let her get her message across to the viewers without constantly being interrupted.

If it's a legitimate discontinuation the campaign has a way of shutting the whole thing down.

Fox News cut him off to protect their audience from seeing that the emperor has no clothes on. It's far from the first time they've done it.
