Apparently everyone needs to choose whether we’re on the side of a geriatric religious nutter on the one side and a genocidal maniac and a rapist pedophile on the other.

Well maybe Trump and Netanyahu could share the Nobel Peace Prize next year.

So the only real growth we’re seeing under the Coalition of Corruption is a 6.5% increase in the number of gang members in the past 12 months.

Trump is likely aiming to return Cuba to the people who ran it before Castro - the Mafia.

Ardern Derangement Syndrome gets a booster shot.

Great service - OneNZ announced $5 increase in Ultra Fast broadband yesterday, today I’m up and running on cheaper equivalent 2-degrees offering.
I am just not taking price increases any more.

If they keep arresting pedophiles in the USA, it’ll be just a matter of time before most Republicans are in jail.

Was Epstein’s circle overwhelmingly White?

Asking for a friend.

So was the UK’s Department for Business and Trade basically just pimping for the Queen’s middle son?

‘Many people will be quite shocked’ by the cost to fix NZ, minister says With infrastructure crumbling, and being literally washed away by yet another summer storm, the Government is set to release its infrastructure plan.
