AOC excoriated Vance here.
Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.
After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

Mainstream journos that think the US has gone too far with Venezuela. You're right. But where the fuck were you, and why the fuck were you quiet, when Trump/Biden flattened Gaza? Why can you talk about this abuse of decency and international law, but not Palestine? We see you.

On the Courier Mail front page today it's been revealed that Queensland vaccination rates are now at a 20 year low with 1 year olds having the worst rate in the country. Neither Jarrod Bleijie or David Crisafulli are leading by example. This was the attitude in August. #qldpol
With Queensland's flu vaccination rate at 28% the lowest in 5yrs, Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie says he's comfortable & the LNP Crisafulli government won't be "dictating" on public health. So far this flu season 100 people have died & some elective surgery was suspended. #qldpol

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.
