Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"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 f----- mouth."

What did Charles actually do? He praised NATO in front of its loudest critic. He championed climate action in front of a climate denier. He called for interfaith dialogue during an administration that has banned citizens from Muslim-majority countries. He praised checks and balances on executive power to a room full of lawmakers who have been unable to exercise them. He referenced the Middle East crisis that is currently straining the alliance he was there to celebrate. He defended the Royal Navy after Trump publicly insulted it. And he did all of this while receiving standing ovations, bipartisan laughter, and a dinner invitation.

Remember folks, Trump's ballroom won't be done until he leaves office. (He's not planning to leave office.)

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Did I dream it or did a bunch of Republican Senators and Representatives hold a press conference and go on TV screaming that the best way to protect the President was to build a $400 million ballroom? That wasn’t real was it? Seems insane even for this clown car Congress.

[Bridget Brink @AmbBridgetBrink]

I resigned as U.S. Ambassador Ukraine when Trump kept siding with Putin over our democratic partner. Now, my successor is doing the same.

I knew I had to speak out and run for office because siding with dictators is just not who we are.

It's 4,000 BC.

You are immortal.

The Egyptian pyramids have not yet been built.

You decide to save $10,000 EVERY DAY, never spending a cent.

6025 years later, it's 2025.

You still don't have as much money as Gina Rinehart.

TAX. THE. FUCKING. BILLIONAIRES.

@sandylanceley @Theon_Orbis Capitalism baby. People have the right to choose where they spend their money. Nothing anti democratic about it.

So, apparently #ProudBoys is trending. Well, I know what it is I have to do...

[Helen Vaskin @HVaskin]

@Origsmartassam Racist Yes. Because it's bullshit.

"coal mining employs 38,000 people in Australia. Tourism employs 924,000. Climate-driven fires mean hotel rooms sitting empty, cafe meals not eaten, tours not taken."
The coal industry is suffocating the economy. #ClimateEmergency #AustraliaFires #auspol
