quality manok panabong During his recent Club Random podcast, HBO Real Time host Bill Maher bemoaned the return of Donald Trump to Washington D.C. and insisted that he just might quit both his HBO talk show and his standup career to avoid having to deal with Trump again. “I’m shitting my pants. I mean, I may quit because I don’t want to do another,” Maher said while speaking with controversial guest Jane Fonda. “I did all the Trump stuff before anybody. I called him a con man before anyone, I did ‘he’s a mafia boss,’ I was the one who said he wasn’t going to concede the election, I’ve done it,” Maher explained. Fonda then interjected, asking why Trump is more hostile to Jimmy Kimmel than he is to Maher, but the HBO host disagreed and said Trump certain is hostile to him and has attacked him on social media. “I’m bored with it,” Maher exclaimed as Fonda suggested he just go do something else. “The show is the politics,” he said of his HBO show, “there’s no other thing, and he’s going to dominate the news like he always does.” Maher has also said that he may even give up his standup comedy career. “I could go back. I don’t want to make a big announcement or something. I’m doing a special at the end of the year. It’ll be my 13th for HBO. That’s a lot.” But before he got to his discussion about giving up his standup career, he brought up the fact that America — especially California — has too many regulations. That shocked Fonda who said she never heard any such thing and that all the regulations are needed. “You’ve never heard that California is over-taxed and over-regulated? That we are a one-party state where there’s sort of no checks on that sort of extreme leftism?” he asked Fonda. Proving that she lives in an extremely liberal bubble world, Fonda replied, “I don’t for a minute consider California a state that is extreme leftist. Not at all. Not in any way.” “Well, that shows where your politics are, ” Maher said. He went on to say that Trump won because so many Americans who otherwise would not have voted for him came to his side because they feel the left has gone too far. ‘They don’t really like him that much,” he said of Trump’s new voters. “They just think the far left has gone so nutty on so many issues.” But Fonda wasn’t deterred, and replied, “That’s what they’re being told. By people like you.” But Maher wasn’t going to sit quietly amid that accusation and retorted that people are being told that “Because it’s true.” Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: facebook.com/Warner.Todd.Huston , or Truth Social @WarnerToddHuston

My MAGA friends keep telling me to just get over it. Election 2020 is history, they say. Donald Trump has been reelected, and we should, as JD Vance put it when pressed on the 2020 election during the vice presidential debate, focus on the future. But the 2020 election is as much about the future as it is the past. It’s a mistake to just forget it. Here are three good reasons why: First: Democracy is a rare and fragile institution. Others have made this point, but it’s easy to forget. Our republic is probably the world’s all-time best example of practical democracy, but it’s naive to underestimate its fragility. Our country depends on laws, rules, norms and traditions to keep our republic going, but laws and norms can take us only so far. The Founders recognized that a democracy depends heavily on the public commitment of citizens and leaders to the principle that the majority rules (usually) and that the will of the majority is determined by elections. Rising authoritarians always resort to three tactics: convincing the citizenry to fear an external or internal threat; demonizing the press; and undermining confidence in elections. Trump checks all three boxes, but the third is the biggest threat to democracy. A democratic nation might be fearful. It might distrust the press. But it cannot survive if its citizens do not have faith in their elections. Trump’s persistent contention that the 2020 election was rigged might be the tipping point that undoes the nation. It should be refuted at every turn. Two: I refuse to get over the 2020 election until Trump gets over it. Before Kristen Welker asked Trump about the 2020 election in a recent “Meet the Press” interview, Trump himself brought it up, asserting that he actually won. (To be clear, he did not.) Trump has a right to his private fantasy about the election, but its public expression isn’t harmless to democracy, and it’s especially threatening when he imposes it on others. Recent reporting from the New York Times indicates that applicants for high posts at the Pentagon or intelligence agencies in the Trump administration are required to answer a set of questions that represent a test of their loyalty to Trump. One of the questions asks if the applicant thinks the 2020 election was stolen. Evidently there’s only one right answer. In fact, to be associated with Trump, at all, requires public or tacit acceptance of his victory in 2020, which, if we want leaders who believe in democracy, pretty much disqualifies all of his nominees. Three: Finally, the 2020 election is indeed in the past, but there will be another presidential election in 2028. Trump probably won’t be on the ballot, but another Trump might be. Or, more likely, Vance. In 2024, the nation chose Trump; the Democrats accepted it. President Joe Biden invited Trump for a two-hour meeting in the White House. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will attend Trump’s inauguration. I suspect that most or all of the past presidents will attend, as well, in a public acknowledgment of the essential tenet of democracy: the peaceful transfer of power. A spokesperson for Jimmy Carter said that even he would attend, if he weren’t in hospice. But what if the nation changes its mind in 2028? Will the MAGA-fied Republican Party, thoroughly entrenched in power after four more years of judicial appointments, quietly accept a Democratic victory? It doesn’t seem likely. The willing relinquishment of power by the Republican Party in 2028 is hard to imagine, but the end of democracy is not. If this happens, historians, to the extent that they can speak freely in a Trumpified America, will someday date the demise of American democracy not to 2028 or to Jan. 6, 2021, but, rather, to Election 2020, when Donald Trump began to convince too many Americans to either believe the Big Lie, to not necessarily believe it, but accept it anyway, or to just not care. And that’s why we must never forget that Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. John M. Crisp, an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service, lives in Texas. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLC

PTI is creating false propaganda on bodies: Khawaja AsifFollowing on from your online story of the Heathcote Road announcements [story Page 1], would you allow me to indulge into some cynicism? or signup to continue reading The duplication of a section of Heathcote Road involves 1km of the 24km road corridor, and is within the electorate of Heathcote. The commencement of works is not due until one year into the next election cycle, when we could have a new government. The budget is $180m, but given the challenging topography, it will be surprising if they can within that. Based on that figure, the government would need around $2.7 billion, if my maths are correct, to duplicate the rest of Heathcote Road. As for the plan for fencing at Deadman's Creek to protect koalas, we are told that could happen next year. It's taken some five years to get this stage, and many koalas have been killed while we waited for action to be taken. It could all go wrong depending what happens with the Environment Impact Statement and the Development Application. This process was not necessary with other options Transport for NSW and the NSW Government could have chosen from the report in 2021 which they ignored. J Among the Black Friday ads and the real estate section, last week's was a good edition and is why I read our local paper when I can get one. Highlights... Gary on opening page - a true local icon, local Myer girls taking out an award and our local heroes rescuing in the surf - wow! There were good supporting articles promoting local youth and sport, and not too positive on council's facilities and services, promises broken on cycleways and electric bikes. This is why I read my local paper - genuine local news. As we approach Christmas, traffic gridlock again reappears in the shire. It is now time for the council to review traffic flow through and in and around the Shire. Re-assess all parking, including vehicle entry and exit from car parks. Council traffic team, get out a clean sheet of paper, a sharp pencil, now review the outdated mess left over from the previous council team, who overdeveloped the shire. Private bus parking is allowed on roads such as Kingsway and Port Hacking Road. Trailers of all types parked everywhere. Enjoy, your merrily congested Xmas. Just today, I heard about two examples of the community being affected by organisations forgetting their community roots. Firstly, our local Probus club has been forced out of the club where it has been meeting because room hire fees were to be tripled and the meeting day changed to get more commercial hires. Then I read in the that the Miranda Musical Society may have to move from the ratepayer funded refurbished Sutherland Entertainment centre because of increased costs [Board, council response P. 12]. Thank goodness all those wonderful volunteers, who serve the community, don't adopt the same attitude.
