If you think contentious US political issues don’t spill over into Australia, tell me why we were already voting and arguing over abortion again in Queensland just weeks ago
The tyrant doesn’t need a pretext for tyranny. And there is no point in appealing for justice when the oppressor intends on being unjust. True in Aesop’s time. True now
@stillfvckinluvu We’re not gonna have to wait long to see just how much it really does affect us.
Peter Dutton is Gina Rinehart’s pet. And she was at Mar a Lago to celebrate with Trump today.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
All Australians need to stay awake bc this is us next. The liberal party are becoming increasingly right wing, and we will have an election next year. No time for funny business.
We will be told “ the voters never get it wrong “ and “we can work with any President”.
I beg to differ. Electing a President with Trump’s record is appalling, beyond belief and not in Australia’s national interests. We have sacrificed our independence to a dysfunctional nation!
The Attorney General's Department today revealed they DID provide legal advice on the implications of the ICJ ruling on 15 August - the question now is what that advice was, and what was done to comply with it!
Is there an Australian support group for people totally captivated by - and terrified about - the #USElection ?
If so, I’m happy to host a meeting at my place tomorrow. There will be day drinking.
Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.
I don't know about you all but If I saw more of Laura Tingle on my @abcnews and less of Greg Jennette, Patricia Karvelas and David Speers, I'd switch back to old aunty again.
Who else?
