Our friendly magpie was back today, foraging for worms and bugs in the backyard, with a new friend, a Pied Currawong.
They seemed to get along ok together.

Itβs nice to expose terrible crimes after they occur, but itβs better to act to stop those crimes before and during commission, when you have the power to do so. Itβs essential to seriously punish the crimes after the fact.

not putting these revanchist reptiles behind bars guarantees more and harsher political violence, possibly even civil war.

If the President takes the necessary steps for the common good at a time of crisis, is this "dictatorship", or is it "leadership"?
Problem is that he can try to take all kinds of steps, but if the Republicans keep resisting anything he does (and they will, they did exactly that under Obama), he can't do a lot. A dictator could.
