Just wasted 10mins reading Henry Cooke’s interview with his keyboard in the Press. I dunno if he thinks he is clever, but everytime I read one of these blokey and matey political journo it just sounds like a 14 year old, completely sure of everything, wrote it. So mediocre and not witty at all

No doubt while the govt were shut down and people were denied human rights ……

Us government is a joke. Just a really fucking dangerous one.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Gosh it works on the Chatham’s… probably also work on the mainland… maybe a bit of solar too.

Sadly we have the “burn more coal” assholes

All the 3Water bullshit was to stop community ownership cause corporates love to steal and control our resources and sell them back us at a massive profit
It is absolutely critical to democracy that communities directly own their water infrastructure but also unimportant that those same communities get to decide how they look after our environment?

If cognitive dissonance could be harnessed for fuel then we could all live happily ever after

Wait, Brett Ratner? The same Brett Ratner accused of sexual assault and/or harassment by Olivia Munn and Elliot Page?

That's the guy who Bezos wants to pay?

Trump's election really brought back all the fucking assholes didn't it.
So let me get this straight: one of the largest companies in the US, which is facing numerous labor and antitrust proceedings from the federal government, has written a check for $40 million to the incoming president's wife? Do I have that right?

Labour is now the only Opposition party who has not put out an official press release denouncing the NZ government’s restrictions to healthcare access for trans youth and affirming their strong support for the trans, takatāpui and rainbow communities.

Oh super. Nothing to tow the broken ass old ferries out of the straight when the inevitable happens, and considering Winston’s only just ordered the cheap shitty ferries, I predict a lot of issues with the straight.
Fuck this landlord and tobacco loving coalition of self dealers.

Good, but I also really feel that Comey is responsible for Trump and the world should still angry with him……furious. He should be in “community service” for the rest of his sad sad woman hating existence
BREAKING NEWS: Trump's latest authoritarian attempt to persecute his political opponents has failed.

A judge dismissed the cases against James Comey & Letitia James after finding the prosecutor was illegally appointed.

This is a victory for the American people & the rule of law.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

As someone who is around genuinely (professionally) funny people every day - this is the stupidest most immature thing ever and no one would be laughing. Vulgar & looks based roasts are terrible & unfunny - they always have been. Good roasts are clever and subtle. Elon is not funny or subtle.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Andrew little has done some of the best and some of the worst politica in this country.

Actually, maybe he only did one significantly good this and the rest has been this bullshit…
In his first council meeting as Wellington mayor, Andrew Little gave a big promotion to controversial rival Ray Chung and opened a political rift between Labour and the Greens.

He does get it - he just doesn’t care. It is a little sugar hit for the country, he doesn’t care about poverty in retirement. He cares about his portfolio and bank balance - they are both doing very nicely.
“In the year to June, 45,000 people accessed their KiwiSaver funds early because of financial hardship, compared to about 18,000 five years ago.”

I don’t think he gets it…any of it. #Luxon #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
