I truly don’t understand!
Why aren’t you protesting EVERY SINGLE DAY?
Why hasn’t American commerce ground to an almighty halt EVERY SINGLE DAY?
If our leader was doing to Australia what Trump is doing to you, we’d be effing furious and protesting EVERY SINGLE DAY!

It's called insider trading and he's done it before.

Peter Dutton in another share trading scandal after it was revealed he dumped his BHP shares in 2008 just 2 days before the mining giant slashed 3,300 jobs.

The Liberal party are a sad, empty vessel of noise, nastiness and delusions led by a sub-intellect multi-millionaire property developer conning the little people

I can only hope The Guardian doesn’t uunderstand the meaning of “friends with benefits”

Otherwise, 🤢😱😳
The Guardian needs to have a Rule 34 section.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Another extraordinary day in Trump's presidency. Unhinged behaviour. Global ramifications.

'Criticism and concern spread across both sides of the aisle Tuesday night after President Donald Trump announced that the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip.”

Called it:
Hoping for the best for the passengers, crew and those in the ground in DC. But I’m reminded of when Trump tried to claim credit for airline safety in 2017. It was ridiculous but he did it anyway. Don’t forget this when he claims no responsibility. He’ll try to have it both ways. Don’t let him
2017 was the safest year for flying ever, and Trump is falsely taking credit
There hasn’t been a fatal passenger airline crash in the United States since 2009.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.

We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.

Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.

Under US law, the US Navy can’t transfer #AUKUS subs to Australia unless the President certifies to Congress the transfer “will not degrade the US’s undersea capability”. New Congressional Budget Office modelling shows it will be impossible for a President to do so. 1/3 #auspol

Cripes, this post certainly was bait to the genocide supporters on this site.

Allowed me to add to my blocks, though.
It’s genocide.

It’s not even an argument.

Israel will wear this stain for generations to come.

It will never rub off.
