Sheesh, America RUOK? @uspol.skyfleet.blue - how have you become such a cruel and stupid country so fast? I’m not sure that your sensible centre is going to get a chance to change this in the midterms either. That ship might have sailed…

Stop Price Gouging Stop Woolies and Coles' price gouging!

Break 'em up. Each time I go in there I feel I'm part of a giant behavioural science experiment based around bullshit discounts, ludicrous price increases, and more and more 'home' brands. Screw 'em.

Nazi thugs. A private army emboldened by Trump and Miller and set loose on blue states. Imagine what they could do pre and post your mid terms. But who’s gonna stop them??

Trump Administration Live Updates: Homeless Camps Are Cleared in Washington Ahead of Federal Raids

Off they will go to concentration camps. Same deal in Nazi Germany in the β€˜30s, including a big round up before the β€˜36 Olympics (LA in β€˜28). They were sent to work camps or institutionalized until the apparatus was set up to euthanize most of them in the late 30’s.

US lacks a functional, united opposition. In times of emergency like this the Dems should pull together a united national opposition cabinet and leadership or maybe do their primaries now before it’s too late. There is no single voice of opposition like there is in say Aust or the Uk.

Moonraker’s first half is actually pretty solid, and these days I’m increasingly barracking for Drax and his novel approach to starting over. I expect real estate prices will kinda be ok too…

You are going to have this guy on the Supreme Court next, and your corrupt oligarchy state will be cemented in for the next few decades. Have fun with that…

I’d really like someone to dig up who’s behind this shitfest. Coz if it’s actually Spotify or a related entity we’re all officially fucked…

He Doesn’t Know What TF He’s Doing At home. Abroad. Anywhere.

Sums it up nicely β€œ(Trump) is a reckless, dangerous, and frankly lazy pathological liar, surrounded by incompetent sycophants and living in a fantasy world of his own makingβ€”one in which he can bring about peace in the Middle East by tweet.”

Um what about the trucks moving shit out of this joint before they were hit? Methinks Putin was given the tip-off (and asked for approval) and time was taken to move the important stuff out.

Trump would have almost certainly had to get the ok for bombing Iran from daddy Putin. What are these fuckers up to? I’m guessing not world peace…

Boy, America you better wake up fast. Each step they take down this kind of path emboldens them to keep going further. Your mid-terms are slipping away.

Good. Fuck the US and their stupid submarines. Buy a couple of frenchie subs and spend the rest on drones and maybe some free childcare.

I don’t mind Bill Maher sometimes but that Trump meeting recap plus Bannon and Piers made me dry retch. Larry calls it like we should see it..
