Trump assumes every transaction in the world — between people, businesses, nation-states, even between two different agencies of the same government — has a winner and a loser, a scammer and a sucker. He believes if you’re not ripping someone off, you’re getting ripped off.
For those of you who don’t know (aka me until 30 minutes ago) there’s a couple websites that will help you out with your ballot for this year’s upcoming mid term elections but I wanna talk about one specifically. It helps out by telling you who is running for what and all the verified information that they have for that candidate. It also let’s you save them to your OWN makeshift ballot that you can use as a reference when voting time comes!! The website itself is run by people who identify as Liberals and they really try their best to educate you on all the matters. It’s called ballotready.org. Here’s a link!
Just a heads up right now: on the day when Trump dies, I’m going to be extremely tasteless about it. It’s going to get ugly. You are going to see a side of me I am not proud of. I don’t want any call-outs in my inbox, I’m stating right now that lines will be crossed.
How disgusting can someone be
I wouldn’t even say this about my worst enemy
Forget the fact that its trump. If you agree with this youre fucking evil. Evil literally lives inside you. Wow.
Anyways all of y’all AND the evil that literally lives inside of you are invited to the sick ass house party I’m throwing when lord dampnut kicks the bucket
I feel like all you Americans need to take a look at what happened here in the UK after Maggie Thatcher died. Because when it comes to tasteless celebrations fuelled by anger and the death of a hated political leader, we REALLY pushed the boat out. We had street parties. We had burning effigies. We pushed “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” to the top of the charts out of sheer hatred. Bone up kiddos, and I really hope you manage to do that truly American thing, of dramatically outdoing us with your celebrations.
In December 2010, questioned the Gillard government on paying for relatives of asylum seekers who died in an accident to attend their funerals.
In February 2013, wanted increased police surveillance of asylum seekers who had committed ‘antisocial behaviours’.
In September 2013, selected as Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, where he:
launched Operation Sovereign Borders, aimed at stopping all refugee boats from entering Australia
asked for advice on how to refuse giving permanent visas to 700 refugees
slashed Australia’s refugee intake from 20,000 to 13,750
was found by the Australian Human Rights Commission to have failed in his responsibility to act in the best interests of children in detention, with the prolonged mandatory detention causing significant mental and physical illness and developmental delays
has overseen conditions in Manus Island and Nauru so bad that self-harm, mental illness, attempted suicide, and actual suicide is endemic
passed a bill that gave himself the power to return refugees to their place of origin, detain them without charge, and refuse giving refugees who arrived by boat access to the Refugee Review Tribunal
In December 2014, selected as Minister for Social Services, where he:
claimed that new mothers were ‘rorting’ the system and ‘double-dipping’ by claiming both government and employer-paid parental leave schemes
In September 2015, selected as Treasurer, where he:
attacked ‘do-gooders’ who allowed Muslim children to sit out on singing the National Anthem during Muharram (a mourning period where joyful things like singing isn’t permitted)
had a nice cozy lunch with Rupert Murdoch, Lord High Overseer of Australian media (and voted against measures that would prevent too much media ownership concentration)
claimed he had ‘endured bigotry’ due to refusing to allow same-sex couples to marry
brought in a lump of coal to parliament, saying, “This is coal. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you”, and claimed that anyone concerned about the environmental impact of coal mining and burning to have “an ideological, pathological fear of coal”
proposed drug-testing sewerage to see if people on welfare were using drugs
got rid of penalty rates for people working on Sundays and public holidays
pushed out cashless welfare cards
voted against a Royal Commission into violence against disabled people
proposed an amendment to the marriage act which would allow parents to remove their kids from classes if they talked about ‘non-traditional marriage’
rejected an increase on Newstart (unemployment), currently sitting on $560 a fortnight, because “my priority is to give tax relief to people who are working and paying taxes” (Newstart recipients currently get $14,560 a year; the poverty line is currently $22,152 a year)
has scrapped billions in funding for homeless and housing groups
supported Trump’s Muslim ban and claimed it was a sign of the rest of the world ‘catching up’ to Australia
latest budget: tax cuts to the rich, reduction in social services to the poor, slashed the budget for environmental protection, the ABC, and foreign aid
Like yeah he’s not Dutton but he’s not a good alternative. Turnbull was a moderate who was constantly being stymied by hard-righters. Morrison is one of those hard-righters.
He’s xenophobic, homophobic, hates the poor and the environment, and is directly responsible for harm and deaths to people in detention, including kids. Nothing about this is good except the possibility that the Coalition is so irreparably fractured that we might get an early election and turf the whole lot out.
Trump is notorious for his “filing system”: when he is finished with a
piece of paper, he tears it into tiny pieces and throws it away, which
is fine if you’re a CEO (maybe), but is radioactively illegal under the
Presidential Records Act, because the President works for the public,
and is required by law to archive their official papers and save them
for public scrutiny.
White House staffers gave up on trying to explain this to Trump, who
just kept on tearing up everything, from official letters from Senators
to letters from constituents to notes and other paperwork.
The staffers – paid nearly $70,000 year – ended up with full-time jobs
retrieving scraps of paper from Trump’s trash-can and piecing them back
together with clear tape so they can be filed in the National Archives.
Some of these staffers were eventually fired; they’ve spoken to
Politico about their year in the Trump administration as paper-tapers.
