A bargain just in time for the Inauguration! Use it based on your political inclination. Use it as a talking point with visitors or to break the ice at home or start an argument. Use it as a mic or add it to your Beavis and Butthead collection. It's all up to you! 👍
Looking for a new toilet brush, just in time.
InB4 the landfill police come.
Landfill
How do we feel about these digital landfill ozB comments that will exist in data centres, archived for eternity long after humans are gone?
'Donald Orange' tint?
🍿🍿🍿
Look, folks, I’ve seen a lot of sponges, okay? A lot. Some are good, some are really bad—believe me. But this one, let me tell you, it’s the best. People are talking about it, they’re saying, 'Donald, this sponge is amazing, it's the best sponge, nobody cleans like this sponge!' And they’re right, folks, they’re 100% right. It gets the job done, bigly. It’s strong, it’s tough, it doesn’t back down—just like me. You need a sponge that knows how to get in there and make cleaning great again. This one does it. Everybody’s talking about it. It’s absolutely incredible, folks, just incredible
Far too coherent for Trump. You need to wonder off more.
I met a guy just yesterday, smart man, hard working too. Knows sponges, he really does, truely, what a guy, a sponge guy. It’s a family thing, family business. He said Donald, this sponge, it’s a great sponge. I don’t know. People are saying, they’re saying it’s the best sponge and they would know. It’s truly great. I said Elon you could clean rockets with these. Elon what a guy, great guy, really knows rockets and sponges too. He’ll use them. I know he will. Great sponge.
I see what you did there, starting to go off topic, but you still came back to sponges. Trump would have been talking about the Haitians by now
@PhilToinby: It’s true. I should have pivoted hard into illegals don’t wash so they don't need them and ended on renaming Europe to Eastern America after I invade Greenland.
Elon and Musk, sponges for on humanity
Were you holding your shiny puce coloured lips like the shuddering sphincter of a chilli eating novice the morning of day after the big competition, when you uttered these words??
And doing the little waist high, 2 hand shuffle?
It doesn't look like it would work well as a sponge.
You've missed the obvious metaphor.
Go MAGA!!!
Make Australia Great Again.
yes too late now after the first fleet came :(
You're welcome to leave…
What period in Australia’s history is the great that we should strive to return to?
What makes it less than great now?
@huju: Yeah not quality of life or housing affordably, something that in no way affects me is #1 issue.
@Kommodore: They'll probably think they're being downvoted by the "left"
But reality is they're being downvoted as people caught up in culture wars are pathetic and annoying.
Literally no-one cares, let people do what they want. There's bigger problems in the world.
@huju: How many times in your life have you been affected by this? Who cares what people want their gender to be.
The only time the topic crosses my mind is when I read comments by snowflakes whinging about it.
70s and 80s. Elite era!!
@Duece1995: Housing was certainly more affordable and a household could run off a single income.
Would we be allowed to smoke in restaurants and at our desks again?
We’d also lose universal healthcare and compulsory superannuation.
@OzzyBrak: Healthcare was available free for all. Compulsory super didn't exist but you could pay off a house in under 5 years with a single income. Growing up playing on the streets with your mates and riding your bike until dusk. Local manufacturing was rampant everywhere including overtime work. No devices to pre occupy you.
Best era ever!!
@Duece1995: The old memory might be going on you mate.
Why we needed Medicare
By the early 1980s, instead of covering all Australians, the Australian Government provided health cover only to pensioners and low-income households.
Before Medicare we had a very ramshackle system. There was private insurance, but it was very inefficient …
– Bill Bowtell, chief of staff for health minister Neal Blewett, 1984.
Forty years ago, it was hard to get affordable health care in Australia. Many Australians were left without healthcare cover after Medibank was abolished. Three out of 5 families didn’t have private health insurance because they couldn’t afford it. There was no bulk billing, and people had to pay for a visit to the doctor in full at the time.
Hundreds of thousands of Australians were not covered for medical treatment or hospital care. Hundreds of thousands of others could ill afford the rising cost of private health insurance.
– The Age, 1 February 1984.
… [The] new Medicare program … will mean that nine out of ten Australians will pay less for the health needs of themselves and their families …
– Opposition leader Bob Hawke, February 1983.
https://www.health.gov.au/medicare-turns-40/history
@OzzyBrak: Not sure what doctor you were using. We would get a home doctor visit and it was all bulk billed.
@Duece1995: Makes sense that Bob Hawk, The Age, Bill Bowtell and the federal health website would be wrong and ol' Duece1995 remembers the truth. Typical fake news man.
@OzzyBrak: Over the last 40 years, the national GP bulk billing rate has increased over time. At the start of Medicare in 1984, the annual GP bulk billing rate was 51% before increasing to a 40-year high of 89% in 2020
@Duece1995: 70 - 80s is 20 years. You only have universal healthcare for 6 of them and the early years were still low at 51% for bulk billing. Roughly 3 or 4 decent years until we hit the 90s.
@OzzyBrak: What's the bulk billing rate now? Also factor in the average cost of of housing in the 80s and basic costs of everyday living.
No comparison im afraid.
@Duece1995: There is literally no way to go back to the 80s. That was based on being a young, rapidly growing country in a vastly different global setting.
Aside from healthcare and changes to super, there is no politician that would be able to turn the clock back like that.
In the US, all maga can achieve is to bring back discrimination, and a new wave of extreme blatant corruption.
70's to early 2000
@m0tyrider: I could get right behind watching Beyond 2000 again. Let’s make it happen.
I’d say it’s worth giving up Google, YouTube, Facebook, instagram and TikTok for. 56.6k modems baby, make jpeg slow again.
A week before SAfrican Apartheid ended.
Australia is no longer the lucky country. Pretty obvious I would've thought.
Maybe Maca. -
Make Australia clean again
What do you like about MAGA?
The racism and sexism mostly
Should've been a toilet brush.
Can’t wait…
Why’s that? You American?
The wit on this one….
Anyone who thinks Biden has done a good job is the very reason Australia is where we are now.
I don’t think anyone anywhere’s genuinely pro Biden/Kamala, they just fictitiously say it coz they would never be pro Trump, people feel like they are being forced to pick a side against Trump.
And maybe they have a good point in their stance, who knows.
I am sure that DJT would carry on underterred…
perfect
classic not joke right here
It's just a joke mate have a laugh
How's this go on nasty skidmarks and under the rim?
Trump’s more of a piss fan allegedly
They need to have him in an orange jumpsuit which is more befitting of a felon.
Is that for Hunter Biden and his shonky daddy?
Which one of them has been convicted?
Hunter was pardoned by his daddy. How convenient.
@Don5252: If Hunter was smart he would have joined the insurrection on January 6 and got a Trump pardon instead.
@OzzyBrak: Correct. And if you’re a proud boy your saviour is coming on January 20th. What a time to be alive. Funny how Joe Biden said he’d never, never, never even pardon his troglodyte son. Funny? Hilarious.
@Don5252: Pardoning a family member for lying about drug use and not paying tax for 3 years is one thing.
Pardoning people who helped put you in power on the other hand feels a little… corrupt. Not to mention threatening to fire people who try to investigate you.
@eug: it may be one little, tiny minuscule thing…… I agree…..but in the scheme of things it's a pretty terrible thing to do. Can we agree on that?
@Don5252: Politicians from any party have varying levels of BS. Likewise there are very different levels of terrible.
One of them looks pretty bad. The other is something you would only expect to see happening in a corrupt developing country led by someone with dictatorial tendencies.
If only they could keep him in jail ((they couldn't))
Fake news, complete with hunt!
always thought he was a shit-head
I always thought he was a d*ldo
i
He self identified as a dildo when he forced himself onto Stormy…
Don't forget E Jean Carroll.
@DashCam AKA Rolts: She wasn't his type lol 😂
Which I guess is true seeing he always went for younger women who weren't ugly..
@Juggernaut1984: Given he misidentified her as his second wife, Marla Maples, clearly she was his type at the time of the alleged incident.
he always went for younger women who weren't ugly..
E. Jean Carroll was Miss Indiana University in the ‘60s. The allegations are from 1987, when she was in her early 40s. You're making judgements from 37 years later.
Waste of money and time this and his proxy in our homeland.
You could use it the same way the Romans used a sponge on a stick.
i wash myself with a douchebag on a stick
does it come with the first lady elon suction cup attachment?
An Albo version would make for a great butt plug.
I know ozbargain is a close knit community but that's too much info of your personal preference
It would definitely give your rectal cavity a voice.
Dan Andrew's one will sell out in no time flat. The guy is still living rent free in many heads.
Dunno, a Dutton one might be a bit big but it'd certainly be smooth
Just avoid the Harold Holt one, definitely likely to lose it up there and never find it again.
Who did Netanyahu call first after ceasefire deal was agreed too….
HINT it wasn't Crooked, SLEEPY JOE
Well, if the guy is good enough to clean up Gaza, the guy is good enough to clean our toilets.
"This gag gift is going to be a big hit with your friends!"
Time to get new friends…
Stop trying to turn this country into Murica
Spoken like someone who hasn’t lived in America.
Pm me for I’ll show you my two passports… how many do you have? Lived in AZ half of my life. How about you?
@mustang87401 I can’t work out what you’re saying. Your last sentence suggests all that goes before it is bollocks.
So I’ll say this anyone promoting American healthcare over Australian needs to have their Ozbargain membership revoked.
Another hater with no actual lived experience. Medicare is full of wait times, misdiagnosis, incompetent imported doctors from South Asia etc…
@mustang87401: I've lived and worked in both the US and here and I can say you're talking out your arse. What's your experience with working and living in the US.
In the US cost of living is generally higher and the healthcare system completely fails those that need it most.
@tjhogwash: As I said I am a dual citizen and half lived there half of my life working and studying even. Funny because you sound like someone who has never worked in america because you would know that salaries are double or more for most professional jobs so whatever you said about cost of living is totally missing the point. Taxes are less and salaries much much higher, especially in tech (which is what I do) but in all of corporate in general. AUD is monopoly money with very little value as you can see right now. Dropped like a rock in comparison to USD. Only reason I am back is due to my parent flailing health and children in school at an important period. Australia was great 20 or so years ago where salaries, medicare were good in comparison to the cost of living. Now it’s so bad and it’s only getting worse. This is a sentiment shared by at least a dozen of Aussies that I know that actually still live where I used to live in phoenix. Nobody is considering moving back if it’s not due to their parents/family. That’s nurses, accountants, tech people… make of it what you want but Australia isn’t as competitive as it used to be.
With a cleaning brush?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Might use it to apply my fake tan for the weekend….
