Two syllables in, if that, and I've got tears in my eyes.
In addition to Hat Guy, I'm partial to the fellow who gets briefly panned over to - bald head and a suit, but out in the aisle making arm gestures that are understandable in any language.
I'm a bit late to this party but it would be excellent for Wonkette to post the follow-up speeches, especially Chloe Swarbrick's. Well worth looking up.
NZ admittedly has gone further in recognizing indigenous rights than most... but had the advantage of one having one indigenous culture to take into consideration. It's a tad more difficult here in Mexico (and other Latin American nations)... In theory, there are 60 some "official" languages other than Spanish.
I would love to see a similar act in our Congress, people bursting into a USA protest song, like We Shall Overcome, to any legislation curtailing human rights, especially in the guise of being "anti-discrimanatory". White supremacists love to paint anti-discrimination laws as being "discriminatory". What an excellent example of protest by Maori legislators in New Zealand! Awesome!
So, mebbe everyone knows this by now, but this Klown Kar Secretary of Defense nominee had a sexual assault allegation (no convictions or trials) from a California Republican Women's convention in 2017. Apparently this Hegseth guy was not vetted at all. I'm sure you can find it ... .
His vetting consisted of determining that he looked like the square-jawed Secretary of Defense in a political thriller, preferably one not starring Nicholas Cage.
Jacinda steps away for a few minutes, and the right wing nut jobs try to take over.

I would move to New Zealand, but they don't have baseball. Besides, they would not let me. Anyone know where Zealand is? It's an island in Denmark.

Are scientists looking to remove the asshole gene that white people seem to have been born with worldwide?
Americans can do TikTok dances instead. Do the Fortnite!
It WOULD be amazing if Native Americans did though.

‘Lift Every Voice’ would also be wonderful.
It has and does happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7xg3CPtdVI. Of course they were all arrested and the story was suppressed.
Excellent. Of course I never heard of this. Our media sucks at telling the people's news. Sigh
Nancy Pelosi needs to practice her haka.
Click on the Instagram link a bit below. She's badass.
(As an aside--made moves toward bugging out to NZ back in the aughts, but dithered. Looking like BIG mistake.)
Onya Kiwis!! Dont let rights be stolen away.
Ta, Dok. Brilliant.

Remember when keeping your word was something people took pride in? Whatever happened to that world?
Suckers and losers keep their word.
