If your leader’s rhetoric undermines the rule of law and truth and demonises opponents, don’t be surprised if anarchy is the outcome.
You voted for this arsehole with eyes wide open. He wasn’t hiding, this is his modus operandi
Who?
Trump, Netanyahu are the big two but it’s happening all over.

Bounce to form & win it or bomb out, what changes at #Collongwood?
I’d let Howe, Cox, Dean, Mitchell, Macrae go.
Open to trading Elliott, De Goey, Cameron, Allan if we can get speed, size or contested inside.
Not sure - Hoskin-Elliott, Membrey, Markov.
Sidey - pull up stumps too.

Old blokes at Collingwood pissed off we're chasing other players.
Most shouldn't get another year.
Focused on individual records, Crisp, Pendlebury & Sidebottom instead of team

Ahh #USA you hold yourself up as a beacon of #democracy but on a regular basis we see this is BS.
Now it's Gerrymandering
Do you have independent bodies in that country? We have the Australian Electoral Commission to control boundaries. Nonpartisan.

#Collingwood depth/class looks a bit thin compared a team like Brisbane. Jeez, they bat deep and with so many of high class young players will be in the running for years.
We’ve got to find a way to switch back on, midfield is where it has to be.

Drop your knees when you take possession of the ball, that's your prior opportunity, HOLDING THE BALL.
If you cop one high, still holding the ball.
Players do it constantly to get a ball up and waste time or a free kick.

Bad loss when up by 22 early in the fourth.
-We didn't kick straight
-Dockers were very good -Dodgy frees
-No run from the backline -Bombed it into the fifty
-Clearance work is a problem
I hate losing, but I hate losing more when you have more scoring shots and lose

#AFL please let us play without umpires. Not biased just consistently inconsistent. It does fans heads in.
The acceptable alternative is fix the rules and then adjudicate consistently.

I swear the women the Liberals put up for election are a bunch of untrustworthy weirdos. Dodgy business people who'd sell their families for a dollar & look like they've sold their souls. Which I guess they have running for that mob.
