words fail me

”The land of the free”... even their own citizens have stopped believing it.

It's astonishing, if not downright sickening that the President of the Biggest Country in the Free World has encouraged these kind of scenes.

Anyone here watched Babylon 5 ? Trump's becoming more and more like oppressive Earth Alliance President Clark.

Now that is an insult to Daleks everywhere

Foxtel has unlocked all channels for some reason. Been watching the McMillions doco. Great watch, incredible how it was pulled off. Massive lols at the italian mafiaso who opened up a strip club under the guise of a church to circumvent planning laws (yes it really happened).

I remember when Foxtel unlocked the porn channel for me for about 3 months - free of charge - about 17 years ago. It was a weird, very sweaty period.

I was going to cancel Foxtel altogher until they unlocked everything lol. Apparently its for the next couple of months. I'm still on the $49 basic +hd+sports package, everytime it expires I call up to cancel my subscription and they give another 12 months. They must be desperate for customers.

Wow, I thought this was by mistake. Yeah, they must be desperate for customers.

As soon as it is over I'm cancelling foxtel and starting up a kayo sub for $15 / month. That and Optus sport are all I need.

I almost freaked thinking Kayo ninja’d their way to $15/month when I am paying $25/month, it’s showing $25 on the website? Can you get it at $15? Kayo and Optus is all I need, too, and if you can get it for $15 it would be worth doing.

Telstra customers get it for $15/month.

Swimming is a great way to exercise and cool down. I'll have to remember that.

Haha he was saying it’s been too hot!

Happened at the start of lockdown as well.

If these people weren't white, there'd be several dead.

Yep. And I wonder how many of the current rioters (or “terrorists”?) just a few months ago watched from afar telling those who protested against racial injustice to not protest; how to protest; what is the right way to protest; what is offensive and what isn’t; to respect the flag and law enforcement; to not damage other people’s property; and to not cause harm to “God’s country”.

And then fast forward to when their white supremest leader legitimately loses the election, all of a sudden it’s “let’s get together and start smashing sh*t”.

God bless ‘Murica.

I dont see how Foxtel can continue in its current form. IMO better off dissolving it into 2 streaming services. Kayo and one with all their exclusive TV shows for $12 a month.

likewise I wonder how many of them found Kaepernick etc taking a knee a deeply offensive form of protest

 

[Zidane98]

"Make Twitter great again" should be their reasoning for suspending his account.

 

[glenferry23]

A peaceful taking a knee = “Don’t disrespect the flag!!”

But nah, smashing sh*t up, trespassing, inciting violence, a person shot dead is all acceptable because it’s “for our democracy!!” and “stop the steal!!”

Disgusting.

 

[jd2010]

Any details of who shot the woman? Cop on protestor? Or protestor on an innocent bystander?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Pretty Much.

 

[RPCB]

None of those details have been released at this time I don’t believe. I said earlier how sad this is but what on earth did any of them think would happen? The people who stormed capitol building should go home to their loved families and hug and kiss them because at least one of them has been shot dead and she won’t be going home. What a waste of whatever the hell they were trying to accomplish.

That's if it was a police officer shooting a protestor. As shocking as the footage is to see I'm also not surprised by the "look" of the people in the videos. Looks like the best/worst of the Jerry Springer show's cast

 

[jd2010]

This Trump supporter bought the Georgian national flag to the protest

 

[jd2010]

As opposed to the Georgia state flag

 

[glenferry23]

This one aged beautifully.
