#Stefanovic calls #Wilson ‘s abusive behaviour on #Today & towards a woman #AmandaRishworth “passionate.” What happens when people enable abuse & normalise intimidation & aggression, as being passionate feeds the cycle of abuse as being normal. This behavior must be condemned.

Tony Abbott told Australian's everything thing they wanted to hear, won the election, broke every promise, CLOSED the car industry with his INCOMPETENT treasurer, then his own party told him to sling his hook. Hanson and MSM are performing the same con, who loses, AUSTRALIA? 😠

IF Pauline delivers on her promise to have One Nation “review” $3,000,000,000 in PBS medications Gary’s cancer medication could be as much as $46,000 A YEAR! Why would any Australian want to create that future? For Pauline it placates Trump & his rich pharmaceutical lobby mates

Any woman would feel intimidated with #TimWilson narcissistic behaviour. Using abuse to control & intimidate. Name calling to hurt. “Grow up Amanda.” “Amanda needs to get a breathalyzer.” Not to mention BL. teeth baring, yelling talking over the top, threatening finger pointing.

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

Catholic church had been alerted to Texas priest’s sexual predation for years – but dawdled before acting share.google/R26rVDfEtlumfW…

Ten years ago today, the Labour MP Jo Cox was stabbed and killed during the Brexit referendum campaign by a white supremacist born in Scotland who hated her support for remaining in the European Union.

When Pauline says they’ll “review $3Billion worth of medications of the PBS” this is what they are saying, “We will give Trump & his American pharmaceutical lobbyists what they want and jack up prices on everyday and lifesaving medicines for Australians”

His name is no longer on the Kennedy Center, but there's a tarp over it so he can avoid humiliation. The ballroom, always an excuse for a bunker, is an endless eyesore, and not privately funded as claimed - but they want to fund it from taxpayers, so he can avoid humiliation. The blue reflecting pool isn't blue anymore - the algae are growing, as algae does, but they're dumping hydrogen peroxide into it so he can avoid humiliation. His attempt to get artists to play for his birthday, failed - which was a massive embarrassment, forcing him to say he was the one who cancelled it, said to avoid humiliation. The Iran war is a whopping defeat, a surrender, and a global disaster, and they're trying to figure out how to help him spin it so he can avoid humiliation. This is the Trump 2.0 presidency. Thin bluster and fake bravado designed to disguise humiliations. How humiliating.
