I still am struggling to wrap my head around the fact this is actually happening…
Don’t care what your political views are, EVERYONE should be absolutely embarrassed & ashamed that this is happening at the Lincoln Memorial & White House. What a joke.
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”
Russell Crowe didn’t hold back when he shared this:
“Guys that are coming down to train me in some weapon or other… they do a lot of traveling but it’s all within the continental USA. And they come to Australia and they didn’t realize that other people have opinions.”
Then he continued with real conviction:
“It’s still to me the greatest country in the world — the United States of America. Absolutely. The greatest potentials are all here. But how it remains great is because it was founded on balance, fairness, and opportunity… not by taking opportunity away from people, but by affording it to them.”
He was reflecting on the contrast between American confidence at home and the pushback he sometimes sees when Americans travel abroad. His point lands hard: America’s greatness isn’t automatic. It has to be protected by staying true to the principles of fairness and opportunity that made it exceptional in the first place.
A simple but powerful reminder.
What do you think — is “affording opportunity” still the beating heart of American greatness, or has that foundation started to erode?
SNL's Colin Jost on Iran: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it."
Before singing of his city of ruin, Bruce Springsteen preaches of what is happening back home. He pulls no punches in a harsh sermon. This is part one of two on May 14, 2025 in Manchester. Papa preach.
What is so upsetting is that half of Americans don’t understand this! And we all pay our taxes!! WE SHOULD!! So America can stay on its feet. These billionaires who don’t pay their share is living here free!! How is that right or gangsta not to pay your taxes and still enjoy the country. I’m confused people think they are smart for dipping out on a bill we end up paying. You admire these Thieves cause they figure out how not up pay their share? What’s wrong with us and how do we vote people in office who believes in this! They don’t care about this country or YOU!! When will yall realize it nothing but a big bank robbery happening right in front of us. And yall are cheering them on!! just the bare minimum of their taxes could help this country but they are greedy selfish assholes who don’t care about anything but themselves!! It’s disgusting. And we are not gonna even do nothing. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I’m 100% with Canada. This man is serious. This guy’s our new spirit animal. I remember when I felt this way about my country. Fuck Donald Trump. It’s the world vs. MAGA. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
