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”

Didn't you attack a few Female police officer?

i’m sorry but the reason why lots of people don’t like the england flag isn’t because it’s england, but because the people flying it are usually hostile racist cunts. if you were normal about it it probably wouldn’t have the rep it does

Addressing the dumbest arguments about tariffs. 1. Tariffs are ALWAYS paid by the importer. Every time. Without fail. The importer has to pay the US Treasury the tariff before it is released from its port. That's what a tariff is. It's how they work. 2. Tariffs are typically passed on to customers. How much they are passed on is called a "pass-through rate. Remember Trump's tariffs on washing machines? The pass-through rate on Trump's 2018 washing machine tariff was between 108% and 225%. And it also raised the price of dryers, since they are usually sold as a set. 3. "Buying American" is a myth. No matter what you buy, the cost is affected by tariffs on some level. Let's say you buy American grown beef. The cattle has to eat, right? So the farmer gets silage from a corn farmer. And that corn farmer needs fertilizer, and that fertilizer probably comes from Canada. So the cost of growing the corn goes up, which causes the cost of feeding the cattle to go, which causes the cost of beef to go up. 4. Even if by some miracle, you found something 100% home-grown in every imaginable way where all the manufacturing parts are also made in America and all the aluminum and steel and raw materials for the parts were made in America (Grok said there weren't any) the prices would STILL go up because the price of all the items needed to produce it would go up because of the laws of supply and demand. 5. Countries don't pay tariffs. Can we stop this stupid-ass argument? There is no transaction between COUNTRIES. An IMPORTER (a private business) imports goods from an EXPORTER (another private business) because people in the importing country want those goods and will buy them. 6. There is a big difference between "tariffs" and "corporate taxes." For starters, not all importers are big corporations. But also corporate taxes are taxes on corporate income, not taxes on costs. If you make the taxes on COST go up you make the sell price go up. 7. Corporate taxes are PROGRESSIVE which means the more you make, the more of your income is taxed. Tariffs are REGRESSIVE, meaning the LESS you make the more of your income is taxed. 8. Taiffs are already starting to affect prices, but we haven't had the full brunt of it yet for a couple of reasons. First, most of the tariffs have only just gone through in the last 2-3 months and it takes time for the ripple effect to hit. Second, many corporations stocked up on imports ahead of the anticipated trade war (hence the negative GDP growth rate in the first quarter, as net exports is part of GDP). 9. It is not about whether tariffs are "good" or "bad." It's about whether Trump's use of them is completely fucking stupid or not. And it is. Fire is a tool, just like tariffs. But if you burn down your house to cook dinner, you're an idiot. Trump's "tariff every product on every country in the world" is like burning down the house to light a match. It's appallingly stupid. 10. I don't have a 10 yet, but I felt I needed to put this here to round it out. Congrats if you read this far.

What do you notice?

President Obama has released a statement: "Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.    "Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio."

That time of year again!

How Musk broke Twitter and helped elect Trump (Location: Tesla European HQ, Amsterdam)

Gonna watch this 34 times. 😂😂

Dear maga, Trump originally won your vote cause he said he was a business man, and he knows how to run a business. We just watched him in court after going bankrupt 6 times, falsifying business records. Instead of dealing with this information, you decide that the entire court system is after Trump. Because it's easy and you're lazy. Instead of thinking the courts are completely rigged. Perhaps the more practical conclusion is: Trump is a shitty businessman. But of course, going with that conclusion will also make you realize you've been deceived and conned. This man has been sucking you dry for years now. 250 million to stop the steal and he just put the cash in his pocket. Didn't even pay his lawyers. Every day, fat body and his family are on video asking for money. Sending you email after email asking for money. The Trumps beg for money more than the homeless on the street. He has screwed over 1000s of everyday hard working blue collar folks like yourself. Yet you still over look this fact. Because it's easy and you're lazy. Instead of challenging yourself, you've found a community that plays into our 2 basic instincts, reaction and comfortability. Its hard to challenge yourself, so you stay comfortable and just react. It makes life easier because, again, nobody likes to admit they've been fooled. The lie is too big now. The stakes are too high. It's clear there's nothing this man can do to lose your vote and when this train crashes, it's going to break your world.
