What’s even more disgusting is that the man was on the ground. He was being held down. They still killed him. They don’t care about due process. They are untrained. It’s all enraging but come the fuck on.

Very curious to see how the 2nd Amendment worshippers try to pretend this was not a clear violation of that. And a legally concealed gun is not a brandished weapon. Insane times.

Im also highly disappointed in friends who have continued to travel to the US for πŸ† party recreational - all gay males, white, wealthy & wasps (or pass as wasps & straight). So many better EU options

Of course this monstrosity has parked in a disabled spot without permit. And of course this entitled POS has also blocked access to the neighbouring disabled permit car. And yes there’s heaps of other spots available in this car park. May this RAM driver receive all the karma they so deserve.

Not all stories around Nobel Prize medals are positive, however, and some of the choices made by laureates were quite controversial.

Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920, reportedly gave his medal to Nazi Germany's Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels during World War II.

Hamsun, who met with Adolf Hitler and Goebbels in 1943, was a Nazi sympathiser who supported the German occupation of Norway. Historical accounts indicate he gave his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a symbolic gesture of support.

Hamsun's reputation was destroyed after the war, although his literary works continue to be studied.

Trump shares some interesting company as the last person to be gifted a Nobel Prize medal they did not earn was Joseph Goebbels.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Louise Adler unloads over reputationally 'trashed' Adelaide Writers' Week The former Adelaide Writers' Week director takes aim at lobby groups and the SA Premier during an intense appearance on 7.30 in which she says the event's reputation has been "trashed".

β€œI think when we look back on this history we will see a masterclass in poor governance, an act of cultural vandalism, a moment when 180 writers said, 'We will not support censorship. We will not support the denigration of one particular writer,'" Ms Adler told 7.30.”

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Frydenberg exploiting a mass shooting to resuscitate his political career is a low act.

Sadly, I don’t expect any better of Frydenberg, a follower of the Howard method.

Don’t ever elect this prick again.
