Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

I owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad, other than when: He incited an insurrection against the government Mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans Separated children from their families, and lost those children in the bureaucracy Tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church Tried to block all Muslims from entering the country Got impeached, got impeached again Had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history Pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden Fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia Bragged about firing the FBI director on TV Took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community Diverted military funding to build his wall Caused the longest government shutdown in US history Called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate" Lied 30,000 times Banned transgender people from serving in the military Ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions Vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers Refused to release his tax returns Increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion Had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history Called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers Coddled the leader of Saudi Arabia after he ordered the execution and dismembering of a US-based journalist Refused to concede the 2020 election Hired his unqualified daughter and son-in-law to work in the White House Walked out of an interview with Lesley Stahl Called neo-Nazis “very fine people” Suggested that people should inject bleach into their bodies to fight COVID Abandoned our allies the Kurds to Turkey Pushed through massive tax cuts for the wealthiest but balked at helping working Americans Incited anti-lockdown protestors in several states at the height of the pandemic Withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords Withdrew the US from the Iranian nuclear deal Withdrew the US from the Trans Pacific Partnership which was designed to block China’s advances Insulted his own Cabinet members on Twitter Pushed the leader of Montenegro out of the way during a photo op Failed to reiterate US commitment to defending NATO allies Called Haiti and African nations “shithole” countries Called the city of Baltimore the “worst in the nation" Claimed that he single handedly brought back the phrase “Merry Christmas” even though it hadn’t gone anywhere Forced his Cabinet members to praise him publicly like some cult leader Believed he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Berated and belittled his hand-picked Attorney General when he recused himself from the Russia probe Suggested the US should buy Greenland Colluded with Mitch McConnell to push through federal judges and two Supreme Court justices after supporting efforts to prevent his predecessor from appointing judges Repeatedly called the media “enemies of the people" Claimed that if we tested fewer people for COVID we’d have fewer cases Violated the emoluments clause Thought that Namibia was a country Told Bob Woodward in private that the coronavirus was a big deal but then downplayed it in public Called his exceedingly faithful vice president a “p---y” for following the Constitution Nearly got us into a war with Iran after threatening them by tweet Nominated a corrupt head of the EPA Nominated a corrupt head of HHS Nominated a corrupt head of the Interior Department Nominated a corrupt head of the USDA Praised dictators and authoritarians around the world while criticizing allies Refused to allow the presidential transition to begin Insulted war hero John McCain – even after his death Spent an obscene amount of time playing golf after criticizing Barack Obama for playing (far less) golf while president Falsely claimed that he won the 2016 popular vote Falsely claimed that he turned down being Time’s Man of the Year Considered firing special counsel Robert Mueller on several occasions Mocked wearing face masks to guard against transmitting COVID Locked Congress out of its constitutional duty to confirm Cabinet officials by hiring acting ones Used a racist dog whistle by calling COVID the “China virus" Hired and associated with numerous shady figures that were eventually convicted of federal offenses including his campaign manager and national security adviser Pardoned several of his shady associates Gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two congressman who amplified his batshit crazy conspiracy theories Got into telephone fight with the leader of Australia(!)
