Can’t quite believe my ears sitting in the parliament now..the Lib Dem MP likening the COVID lockdown with being in an abusive relationship and family violence. By doing so diminishing the actual experiences of women and those killed each and every week. Just shocking #springst

Sorry, too good to pass up.
Mr 15% will leave no stone unturned in his quest to hit a single digit approval rating.

He gets cable in the bunker too! #BunkerBoy
“These were the people that trashed Seattle years ago. Who’s paying for these people. I was appalled that 13 of Joe Biden’s staff were donating money to bail people out in Minneapolis. They should have stayed in jail until this is over (and beyond).” @newtgingrich @foxandfriends

Getting a strong signal in the bunker, I see. #BunkerBoy
“I don’t see any indication that there were any white supremest groups mixing in. This is an ANTIFA Organization. It seems that the first time we saw it in a major way was Occupy Wall Street. It’s the same mindset.” @kilmeade @foxandfriends TRUE!
When Covid-19 kicked in, I was watching the news obsessively for updates on the pandemic. But now it's all crappy politics (AUS) and shitfuckery (USA) so I'm spending my time reading Firefly novels instead.

25 days now, and almost $1 billion that hasn't been lost on Australia's #pokies. That's money staying in people's pockets when it's most needed.
Today is the 19th day since Australia's 5000 pokies venues were shut. Given we lose $38m a day on the pokies, that's a community stimulus worth $722m so far. Retweet this if you reckon suburban pokies rooms should be the very last thing that resumes as the clamps come off.

"Trump talks up unproven drug as #coronavirus cure." He's not a sociopath, he's a naturopath.

1/ Remember the Millennium Bug? Hundreds of thousands of IT professionals spent years modifying computer systems and algorithms in every country on the planet, because we *knew* that inaction would result in disaster. #coronavirus

6/ There was no problem, never had been a problem, it was all overinflated and a waste of time and money. Sound familiar? #coronavirus

7/ When the situation is dire, success isn't exciting or noticable. The opposite is true: success means that the worst never happens. Give me success any day. #coronavirus /end
