@tommysantos14 The world has been irrevocably damaged by Trump. No ally will ever trust the US again because your political system has no checks and balances.
English
When Trump leaves office:
The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.
The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.
The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.
The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.
Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.
U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.
And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

@KatieMiller White person living in South Africa here. Your ambassador made an idiot of himself and publicly backtracked when rightly called out by our government for his comment that he didn't care about our laws and courts.
English
Americans should be exceedingly proud that our new Ambassador to South Africa is standing up against their blatant racism.
South Africa today has more than 150 laws aimed against Whites.

@ErnstRoets No. There is no white genocide in South Africa.
English
Can we all agree that South Africa has a serious problem with regard to genocidal rhetoric?

The ANC in Johannesburg has taken a decision to recall Dada Morero as the mayor of the City of Johannesburg.

When a £2 battery costs £70 in a government supply rort. A familiar story when you live in South Africa.
Rebecca Ryder 💙@rebecca_ryder21
NHS hospital: I noticed the clock on the wall showed the wrong time. A nurse told me they knew, but they wouldn’t report it because replacing the battery through the NHS would cost £70. A £2 battery... £70. How? Why? That's when I began to dig further. 🧵

@RediTlhabi @MYANC Established political parties make this mistake all over the world, viz the Democrats in the US and the Coalition Liberal/National Party in Australia. Tone deaf, blind to signs that the people want CHANGE.
English
I really LOVE how @MYANC tends to signal, quite decisively and clearly, that they do not want to win elections again. They are happy with their current dwindling voters and have no engagement strategy for the voters who left. They are not listening to WHY they left! Nice!

@AlastairMcA30 He should be able to treat it with raw milk and ivermectin.

Kennedy has famously said that trusting experts is a sign of “totalitarianism”, and people shouldn’t do it.
So I’m sure he won’t be getting an expert shoulder surgeon to repair his rotator cuff - right?
Right??!

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is undergoing surgery, a spokesperson said on March 10.

@zilevandamme TBH if I was eligible to vote I'd probably vote for her. I can't stand her hectoring tone, and I have deep reservations about the DA as a whole, but really after the last ten years here it seems we need her, just like we have to take unpleasant medicine...
English
I’m going to say something that will likely make many of you angry. If the measure of quality is how hard you’re willing to work. If it is demonstrating hunger, drive, toil, time, blood, sweat & tears, Helen Zille wins. I think I am revising my opinion, she may just do it.

[WATCH] DA Johannesburg's mayoral candidate, Helen Zille, slammed MMC for Transport Kenny Kunene for an alleged pothole ribbon cutting ceremony and referred to the Patriotic Alliance as the "the Pothole Alliance." #Newzroom405

@KatieMiller I'm white and live in South Africa. I chose to immigrate here 16 years ago, and here I will remain. There is no white genocide.
English
In which the NYT allows the South African President to spew factually incorrect statements:
“There’s no white genocide and there is no grabbing of land, of white people’s land,” Mr. Ramaphosa told The Times. “And white farmers are not being driven out of the country and badly treated.”
South Africa has become an inherently racist country with anti-white laws.

Try to imagine the current guy being firstly, able to orate like this, and secondly, having this degree of emotional intelligence.

Stop with the bot responses @MAKRO_SA you took NINE hours to respond on your WhatsApp 'Customer Service' platform. Fail of epic proportions.
English
People have now responded, two days later, but NOT the WhatsApp channel. Pro tip - don't operate a WhatsApp channel for customer service unless you're actually going to provide customer service.

@Makro_SA hi team. No response to emails at the makro online address, and have been waiting for a real person on the WhatsApp chat for an hour.
The wrong item was delivered. It took five days to get here.

Question. Do you tip when you order a takeaway item in-store? Say when you order a takeaway coffee at a coffee shop and the terminal has an option to include a tip. Do you?
