Too on point not to share, โAussie 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 youโve 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 ๐ท unknownโ
@aintscarylarry In the UK when owners decided to demolish a listed pub they had to rebuild as it was.
Maybe the orange clown should be forced to do the same.
@theamelia__ Yup sister & I ages 9+7 1960s walking through fields crossing roads & alongside the riverbank.
In our teens cycling to the seas (2miles) to swim & meet mates then back.
At 14 youth hosteling with a mate cycling over 4 days 50miles per day negotiating cars and lorries.
1/8 Putin's Perspective โ If you were Putin, this is the nightmare youโd be living:
You started a useless war that was supposed to last days. It has lasted years.
You thought Ukraine would fold. Instead, it became stronger, more united, and more militarized than ever
I'm at a loss for words...
Superman was an undocumented immigrant shot to Earth in a spaceship. Trump wouldโve had ICE waiting on the landing pad.
Superman fought corrupt billionaires like Lex Luthor. Trump is Lex Luthor, minus the genius.
Superman lifted people up. Trump cuts school lunches, healthcare, and food assistanceโso his billionaire buddies can buy bigger yachts.
When you betray your base, sell out to Epsteinโs pals, and tank the country, I guess all thatโs left is to slap on a cape and pray the cult still cults.
@lippyent Yup, back for lunch, then back for dinner. I 7 and sister 6 would explore the countryside walking by the river.
Public bus & walk 1/2 mile from the stop to the school.
Times were very different. UK 1961+
