So are we rioting today? Starting a revolution? Putting aside differences in opinion and collaborating with other members of our class? We doing anything else other than yelling opinions at people who already agree? #nzpol

I get what people are going for with the "Draft Barron" stuff but I think it would make the point better if it was someone Trump knows personally

Either they asked a whole heap of left-wing voters, or people REALLY do be out there voting against their own interests and wants. #nzpol

Hang on there The Press. If I'm a billionaire and can afford to suck off Luxon, sorry, buy a golden visa, couldn't I, oh I don't know, BUILD MY OWN DAMN HOUSE? The rich who are too lazy to spend their own money confuse me. #nzpol

How to make bald middle aged white men care about what America is doing on the global stage. If the countries teaming up against the US called themselves a league, it'd be Union vs League. #nzpol

I'd have thought they'd buy some vowels first.

That's the thing with propaganda, they don't have to convince you of their opinion for it to be effective. They just have to convince enough people that their opinion is the one held by the majority. That's enough for people to not share their opinion, allowing the other opinion to spread. #nzpol

Humpty Dumpty sat on a fence, watching the world burn. #nzpol

So, how's those numeracy and literacy numbers going when the damn Ministry of Education can't ask a simple question or count!? #nzpol

Um, what? It's embarrassing to argue over war, at a war memorial? Where'd the council member want it argued? At the front line? Precious much? The memorial is there for the people who fought and died in the 'war to end all wars'. I'm sure they'd join the damn protest at least. #nzpol

Turn around!? Mate, I'm still waiting for her to quit. #nzpol

Seen in Ōtepoti today

Don't fight the gun. Use the gun to shoot the gunpowder maker.

If Iran had bombed an American school while killing Trump because Americans didn't like him and then tried to install their own regime to gain natural resources, would Luxon be in a position to give judgement at that point? Wonder what position Luxon thinks PM is. Pre-Missionary? #nzpol

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

How many letters between "one" and "ten"?

Who knew one French dude fucked the world up so much.

Be an awful shame if something were to happen to that building. Awful, awful shame.

Well, they're taking notes at least... #nzpol

Something something, Three Waters, something something. Why can I feel some white dickhead blaming Māori for us NOT having Three Waters? Then again, I could just be sick from drinking the water... #nzpol

Do I know anyone?

What in the actual bloody hell? "Give me $5 to use Grok to make some woman naked" I can't decide if it's just a report and block, or bombarding the account with pictures of old white men for him to "edit".

Paramount:

But that target is on the post, not on his back. Be an awful shame if a politician was to be hit by a speeding driver instead of children. Something might be done about the problem then. #nzpol

Luxon, hiding in his smokescreens again. #nzpol

This post has made me so angry right now

But at least victims of violent crimes have gone down, right? Right? Honestly, only difference between the gangs and the coalition at this point is that their patches look different. #nzpol

"Benefit sanctions have not worked - because there are not enough jobs for beneficiaries to move into" No shit. We were saying that when the assholes implemented their cruel bullshit. #nzpol

I swear some people just look for things to get angry about.

What does this article say?

This damn fish is coming up in my timeline more than children being run over. Priorities.

So you're saying he's the middle man for the cartel? #nzpol

Is it just me that thinks if the cars were going through store fronts instead of children there'd be something from this govt about it? But since it's people's lives and not businesses livelihood they're quiet. Since their policies create the situation, they're quiet. Deafeningly quiet. #nzpol

The IT department is like the Govt. You only worry about them when they're NOT doing their job. Meanwhile, the govt we can't help worry about is making us worry about things we wouldn't need to worry about if they were not worried about their wallets and worried about us instead. #nzpol

This is the richest country in the world.

Can someone reign in Peters? #nzpol

What's with the hippies? Was there something in the weed? Should I check my stash?

So, since our biometric info is for sale, are we able to buy it? Or is it only for private businesses to profit off? Hey Luxon! I've got an eye you can scan! Nice big brown one! #nzpol

Hold the fuck up. How in the neoliberal hell are politicians not except from govt contributions to their kiwisaver? Screw the doll! Wanna benefit off the taxpayer, become a politician! Why give excuses to your case manager? Give excuses to the media and get sorted. #nzpol

Really don't understand why people are treating cycling and dedicated infrastructure as a new thing. The bicycle we know has been a thing since the 1880s. Then again, people have been complaining about climate change for at least that long too, so who knows.

Great. Luxon has fucked the country up so much that the person who did so much to make it awesome has hopped over the ditch. Guess she'll fit right in with the amount of other Kiwi that have moved there since the last election. #nzpol

We need gangs like the Yakuza, who donated 3.6m in gold bars to fix the water supply. Black Power and the Mongrel Mob need to up their game since the current gang isn't doing it. #nzpol

Burn it down.

Weird this came out the same day as an article about FAFO parenting. "Don't eat your fresh air then! See what happens!" #nzpol

Good ol' Seymour continuing to advocate getting rid of everything in Parliament apart from himself. #nzpol
