I have an evangelical Christian cousin whose aim in life is to get herself into heaven, not love her neighbour or provide relief to those in need. It's all about her salvation exclusively which somehow also demands she hate upon others who do her no harm.
I find this repulsive.

I think the fear mongers more often come from the right in Australia- blaming migrants, stoking racism.

Doesn't sound good but I will
have to guess. I live in Australia so not exactly a subscriber.

Wow! The countdown has begun.

Our generation got to call out apartheid even if a racist regime got its feelings hurt.
We called out nuclear proliferation, uranium, Whitlam sacking, Workchoices, George Floyd, call for SSM, land rights, Voice.
Antivaxxers/sov cits also had a good run.
Loud but peaceful is a healthy democracy.

Absolutely agree. Furious, mystified and let down. A massive political screw up on a very thin pretext. People got hurt exercising a freedom that was assumed in Australia for decades.

I saw the ICE agents in Minneapolis removing priests in prayer at the airport.
This is what we're doing now in Australia?

So many Labor supporters have been going "WTF" big time since the visit was announced. And now to witness such police violence on our streets, it's unfathomable anyone thought this was a good idea. Can you run a country if you are this brazenly stupid? Beggars belief.

Great job. Gino is so stupid and hasn't even thought through his own legislation. Gino wants 1961 kindergarten back.
It's not hypothetical. What does my kid do? In kindergarten weirdly excluding a small child - that's not a thing surely.

What a disgrace. Labor really and truly screwed themselves showing some of the worst political judgment in decades. Utterly reprehensible and calculated to kick off (all in the name of peace?) This is a terrifying new low point in our history. It matters. This cannot be a new normal.

After so many good memories of holidays in the USA, this is the reason I can't even enter the US now: the things I've posted about him for over a decade. Racist pig definitely works.

Absolutely no standards are required of the POTUS thanks to his supporters. This racist meme is a new low, from the individual with the most mention in the #Epsteinfiles There's the trophy Trump has legitimately won.

It's such a this back to old world racism. People of colour know it, recognise it, have endured it. It's never meant to be funny. It's only ever meant to undermine, demean and insult. Coming from no less than the POTUS not a kid in second grade or your racist idiot neighbour makes it so much worse.

Thirtysomething (1987) by the great Snuffy Walden (who also did the West Wing theme).

We can't check the snow for footprints in Australia. We use data and facts.

Are they also looking into fraud in evangelical churches? Or government insider trading and Covid contractors? Or wait, child sex abuse?
#Epstein

Convenient for Johnson when he says that according to scripture, it's only mere mortals who have to be nice, but people within government like him can do whatever evil shit they like.

Being told to "smile more" is such sexist bullshit. I used to get that at work often from men old enough to be my father. Men who thought I was there to please them. A hideous, worthless intrusion upon a woman busy just doing her job: me or Kaitlin. I have over 200
employees. Def not
okay.

Republican voters also had much higher excess mortality from Covid19 due to vaccine uptake and their attitudes to mitigating infection and spread.
They will needlessly die preventable deaths for their politics. To me, the inaction on guns after 20 dead children at Sandy Hook in 2012 said it all.
