SUPREME COUP: Happy Hour with Hightower at the Lowdown Chat & Chew Cafe with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Imani Gandy of Rewire News Group
For two decades, the GOP’s network of corporate and right-wing operatives has painstakingly fabricated the Supreme Court as its own political weapon. In short order, backed by a few billionaires, these anti-democracy zealots have incrementally been imposing on America an extremist political agenda that they could not win at the ballot box. Join Hightower as he sits down with right-wing dark money expert Lisa Graves to learn how this happened– and what we’ll do about it.

Election Reaction: The Media’s Tantrum
Elections always bring about diverse reactions. One side is typically overjoyed at victory, while the other is disappointed in defeat. In a two-sided contest, such disparate reactions are the order of the day. In a healthy system, transitions of power are peaceful. Looking at recent history, however, this trend is fading. Consider 2016 and the…

Dejected Liberal staffers gather for farewell desk wank
In a fitting celebration of the Morrison Government, a group of subdued Liberal staffers gathered today to clear out their offices and have one final cum on a desk.
Removing their trousers in the nation’s house of democracy for one last time, the men paused briefly to take in the significance of the moment, before earnestly rubbing one out.
“Ah! I’m going to miss this place,” one staffer said as he ejaculated over his boss’s desk.
“There’s just not enough respect for conservative values in this country any more,” another added, using a nearby flag to clear up the mess.
Another pointed out that woke PC culture meant they wouldn’t be able to do this at their new six-figure corporate jobs. “Apparently it ‘doesn’t fit with Macquarie Bank’s values’. You can’t do anything anymore,” he said, spraying over a chair.
Despite the group leaving Parliament House for the final time, sources have confirmed there will still be plenty of wankers left in the building.

And so it came to pass that truth persisted, hope survived and democracy will be restored. And so, it came to pass on the twenty-first day of May in the year 2022 that the people of Australia decided to end its decade long flirtation with what was a rotten, corrupt government and its lying leader…
