We need homes for the homeless, not investments.
.
You are just adding fuel to the Australian Property Ponzi Scheme.
.
Why don't you just build community housing.

I think it is so cute, how you guys think that democracy is still alive.
.
This weird idea that you will have fair elections in the future.
.
The fact that you think you can salvage something from this munted dumpster fire warms the cockles of my heart...

#Nobel #WorldPolitics
.
So they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado.
.
It's worth noting that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot and a lot of other arseholes never got the the Nobel.
.
It seems that being an Authoritarian is not the way.

I am sure back in 1783 there were people saying "there is no future Independent American Republic involving the Sons of Liberty".
.
They were violent terrorists.
.
One man's terrorist is another's patriot.

Except in Queensland, where the puppets of the fossil fuel industry are at the helm...

It is so cute how you guys think you still have a functional democracy and that there will be midterms...

The problem with antifa is most believe in the rule of law, a constitution, inalienable human rights, justice, equality, freedom.
.
And Fascist don't.

If you are anti-antifa you are against the people who are against fascism.
.
You are endorsing fascism.
.
You are a fascist.

I am sad to say the Rapture has happened, and well, if you are reading this, sorry, you didn't make the cut.
.
Yup, there was that something that you did, and well God is forgiving but not that forgiving...
.
So you are stuck here with the rest of us.
.
But the good news is there will be cake.

Every. Fucking. Year.

The same old winge.

Queensland doesn't have daylight saving. Multiple timezones make life difficult.
.
Wel, news flash.
WA and SA have different time zones and you can cope with that.
.
You claim to be erudite, well travelled.
.
Just accept the fact.
Move on.

Andrew Hastie has quit the front bench because nasty Sussssan won't let him set be the Liberal spokesperson on immigration policy.
.
Apparently, Hastie wants to emulate the Little-Scottie-From-Marketing tradition of being the minister for everything.
.
So he has spat his dummy.
.
OH Dinkums

It's adding fuel to the fire.
BURN BABY BURN.
.
You are increasing demand in a supply constrained market.
.
You are inflating prices and promoting the Australian Property Ponzi scheme.
.
When this bubble pops, it is going to be very, very ugly.

splat @splat.au · 13d

IF (not when) the USA successfully conducts a fair and just 2026 mid-term election, then you can talk about democratically removing Trump from office.
.
It looks to me that this junta has no respect for the constitution, the law, democracy, due process, citizen rights or simple human decency...

I am expecting #ChicagoICE, monsters have lives too...

Perhaps also #ChicagoPatriot...
Never enough vigilante TV..

And never discount the possibility of #ApocolypseSurvivor where we follow the fortunes of seven troubled survivors of the USA collapse...

Again, why does mainstream media give any airtime to Australian Liberal Party politicians.
.
They are not, by any measure, a viable alternative government.
.
Why not talk to the "crazy" homeless person who lives under the bridge. They have a far more realistic view of the economy.

The thing that amazes me is that some people are very plain when they sleep but are beautiful when they are awake.
.
Others look the same awake or asleep.
.
But some are attractive when they sleep but ugly when awake...
.
I put it down to personally.
Some people are just horrible people.

Again I ask, why does the mainstream media care what Sussssan or anyone in the COALition say they will do when re-elected into government.
.
The way they are going - that will never happen...
.
Not unless they join the rest of Australia and shun the extreme right.

Why does the Australian media give any credence or credibility to the insane utterances, ramblings and mutterings of the fools from the LNP.
.
THEY ARE IRRELEVANT.
.
And increasingly so.
.
Climate change denial.
Reality chalanged paranoia.
Delusions of relevance.
Insanity manifested.

Coalition dearly loves a 'cruel hoax' – now it has become one

Pretending the Coalition matters, or its criticisms are worth anything, allows Labor to get away even less. That is the cruellest hoax.

At what point do you stop dancing with the devil ?
.
When do cease being silent about the very evil that your friend and ally has become ?
.
Do you have an honest break before they betray and attack you, or do you blindly hope that your shared history will be enough to protect you ?
