The eight-part documentary follows Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton on a road trip as they interview a star-studded line-up of influential women. I’m just tickled pink that Meghan wasn’t asked to participate 😂😂 yeah shes got a lot of guts alright how she isnt in jail is astonishing and shows the level of corruption in US politcs Documentary should be about Guantanamo, it's the only destination for traitors.

‘Hold my beer’: Anthony Albanese ‘trying to be as popular as Hawke’Sky News host Chris Kenny says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has a “bit to live up to as Labor leader”. “I mean he's tried to rewrite history and claim he admired Bob Hawke, when in reality young Albo was a firebrand leftist opponent of Hawke government policies,” he said. Mr Kenny said many politicians “try to be as popular as Hawke” and Mr Albanese’s attempt was sculling a beer at a rock concert. “Maybe Albanese is trying to emulate another politician, maybe he's been watching the attention-grabbing antics of Finland's prime minister,” Mr Kenny said. “Yep, maybe Albo took one look at Finnish PM Sanna Marin and said ‘hold my beer’.” Current achievements as PM... -Slag the former PM -Holiday across the globe -Holiday at home When will he get to work?

‘Ron DeSavage’: DeSantis blasts liberal media in new ‘Top Gov’ campaign adFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis has excoriated the liberal corporate media in a new Top Gun-inspired political ad ahead of the gubernatorial midterm election in November. In 2018, Mr DeSantis defeated Democrat Andrew Gillum by less than half a percentage point. Since then, his staunchly conservative agenda has seen him rise among the top of the ranks as a potential GOP presidential candidate for 2024. The Florida primaries are underway and Mr DeSantis remains the sole Republican candidate. The Democrat race is a hotly contested battle between congressman Charlie Crist, a former Florida governor, and Nikki Fried, the state's Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr DeSantis has led in most polls and will start as the general-election favourite irrespective of who wins the Democratic nomination. GovRonDeSantis Your sharing bs from someone who comes across as a fascist? Is that your tendency? Towards fascism? ThisisNotJournalism GovRonDeSantis I want to move to Florida GovRonDeSantis So the 2024 RWNJ/GOP vote will be split between Trump & DeSantis. If Liz Chaney runs the GOP may self destruct in a 'civil war'
