You Republicans with your bullshit... your chutzpah, your delusions of... well everything really... Your belief that guns make everything better

Choice quotes from an unfinished interview with Kari Lake, by Australian journalist Liam Bartlett

“What I don’t like is that people are being held in prison without being charged,” she said. “That’s unAmerican. Maybe they get away with that stuff in Australia.

“Perhaps in Australia, because you’ve given your rights away, you melted down all of your guns and you guys have no freedom, that you find that okay.

No... no we didn't. No we didn't. No, we have plenty of freedom - probably more than you do... okay?

“But here in America, we do things differently, we have something called the US Constitution and we have rights.”

Says the woman whose party is trying to make it harder for US citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote

Mr Bartlett asked whether Australia would be better off having more guns, to which Ms Lake said “you absolutely would”.

She said she felt sorry for Australians as they had no power.

“The only thing keeping us from being Australia right now is our second amendment, and we will never, ever let that go,” she said.

And that's supposed to be a good thing, is it - not being Australia... with our universal health care, our low rates of street crime & absence of monthly/weekly school shootings, our elections that don't turn into partisan bloodbaths sponsored by a foreign power?!?

“You have internment camps and people are being forced, if they’ve encountered anybody with Covid, to be locked into a quarantine camp, (which) is the most horrifying thing I think I’ve ever seen a government do.”

No. No we don't. No they're not. And yes, it must be terrible to be held in Guantanamo Bay without being charged by any law enforcement or Federal authority. At least you're right about that being horrifying... you're just looking at the wrong island...

Australia may not be perfect, but geez... fair suck of the sav lady. Pull ya bloody head in!!

Anyone?? Anyone??!!

With the news that a mural in Austria, painted by an Australian & hilariously & deliberately wrong, has gone viral again - what's the funniest 'wrong', as in incorrect not in questionable taste (though whatthehell, make it that too if you like!!), thing you've seen, or read, or...

How long before each of the 50 states in the USA has its own new mass-shooting?

According to your President it's not a gun problem, it's a mental health issue

Yes Donald... & the mental health that's at issue is yours... if you think guns aren't a problem in your country

A little something to make you feel better, the next time things go wrong at work...

Now go out there & fuck things up, safe in the knowledge that it's highly unlikely you'll ever make a mistake that costs as much as even one of these mishaps...
