Where do I go to get my apology from the folks on the left and the right who assured me that Trump was the antiwar isolationist candidate?
Donald Trump to NBC News:

If Iran does not agree to a nuclear deal, “There will be bombing and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before”

With Windrush victims STILL suffering because they don't have the right documents, and chronic labour shortages...

FUCKING GROSS!

This pic of mine is currently on display in the Australian Embassy in Berlin as part of the 'Climate Change in Focus' exhibition. Just heard that some photos will be removed once the election is called for reasons of "political sensitivities". Yeah, let's pretend that climate change isn't a thing.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”
most people know someone who works for the federal government in some capacity

and even the assholes who think all federal employees are moochers tend to make a personal exception for their buddy Jim

everyone is going to hear stories of how cruel and capricious this is
im probably just being optimistic but it feels more and more like this strategy of rather indiscriminately and smugly firing a shitload of Americans who serve their country and don’t do political jobs will probably just start pissing off ppl who don’t pay attention to politics.

I predicted recently that Amanda Pritchard, Chief Exec of NHS England, was about to lose her job, and it’s just been announced that she has resigned in a “shock move”. I don’t think it’s a shock move personally - I think she has been targeted recently and has been pushed out of her job..
With a nation desperate for action, politicians play the blame game.
