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."
Very well stated.
Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”
🚨 BREAKING:
World-renowned US rapper Kendrick Lamar:
"Donald Trump is a narcissist who runs a country built on fear and division, trampling over democratic values; you either stand for equality and the truth, or you are part of this climate of hate."
White-collar crime (fraud, insider trading, etc) is now legal in America. Wall Street has captured the Department of Justice and as long as you pay off the Trump family, you can now steal as much as you want from the American people.
This was the moment that convinced me it was a staged event...
How else do you explain the flag being lowered perfectly into position, as if the entire scene had been frozen until the flag was in place for that ideal photograph?
DL Hughley: “America made the choice — I’d rather have a pedophile than a black woman. I’d rather have a rapist. What do you do when a country tells you who it is? You believe them”
23 marzo: scommessa di 500 milioni di dollari sui futures del petrolio, 15 minuti prima che Trump rinviasse gli attacchi contro l'Iran.
7 aprile: scommessa di 950 milioni di dollari sui futures del petrolio, poche ore prima del cessate il fuoco tra Stati Uniti e Iran.
17 aprile: scommessa di 760 milioni di dollari sui futures del petrolio, 20 minuti prima che Hormuz venisse dichiarata aperta da Trump.
Indovinate chi è stato il genio che ha piazzato queste scommesse sul mercato?
Si legge insider trading, ma si scrive Barron Trump.
We are the richest society in human history.
We can have universal health care.
We can have universal child care.
We can have universal public higher ed.
We can have a tax code that pulls back all the wealth that was stolen from the working class over the past 50 years.
Man Claims Trump Conned MAGA, says, "You didn't get a wall. You didn't get any arrests. You didn't get 'Drain the Swamp or America First.' You didn't get any new infrastructure, no $5,000 Doge check. You didn't eliminate any national debt or get any help buying a new home or help with lower grocery prices or gas prices. I mean, quite the opposite, in fact. You didn't get a $2,000 stimulus check or affordable health care or any accountability for the Epstein files, which he promised when he said he was going to release them all to the public. And you damn sure didn't get any. No more wars. Now, what you got was conned, and you're too embarrassed to admit it."
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!
Let me explain educate you all what just happened,
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran…
Someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes.
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the market at that time.
Whoever did this wasn’t guessing.
You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming.
No leaks.
No press.
Nothing.
The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes, they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes.
In a single trade.
On a war that cost you $4+ gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are positioned to profit from it.
This is not the first time.
Major announcements have repeatedly been preceded by suspicious market moves tariff reversals, policy shifts, war decisions.
This may be one of the most blatant examples of potential insider advantage in modern American politics.
You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin.
Yet billion-dollar trades happen minutes before decisions like this and no one asks questions.Nobody gets investigated.
Nobody gets charged.
By tomorrow, this will be buried under the next headline.
Just like last time.
And the time before that.
The game is rigged. The insiders pull the strings and win over and over.
And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
