Tony Abbott: some elderly Covid patients could be left to die naturally

‘Health dictatorships’ failing to consider economic costs of crisis, ex-Australian PM says

Mummy and daddy, please tell me why,

you elected to let my granny die?

Yes, she was old (to put it politely),

but unlike you, she treated me nicely.

When I am your age and you are hers,

I would not be surprised if what occurs

is a trip to the Outback to, say, Alice Springs. Oh,

and then Uluru where I feed you to dingos.

Numb. 936 Consulting Your Peer (by Vlad Putin)

Тзч! Западное дерьмо о Навальном лицемерно. Конечно, я могу отравить любого критичного того, что я делаю, что говорю. Как вы думаете, что значит царь? Если бы я был копом, а он был черным, в США я мог выстрелить ему в спину. Сила есть сила, если не использовать ее, рано или поздно ты его потеряешь. «Вот как вы сдерживаете напуганных», Я говорю Донни. Он отвечает: «Хорошо».

Tzch!

Western shit on Navalny is hypocritical.

Of course, I can poison anyone critical

of what I do, of what I say.

WHAT DO YOU THINK tsar means, anyway?

If I was a cop and he was a Black,

in the U.S. I could shoot him in the back.

Power is power, if you don’t use it,

sooner or later you’re going to lose it.

“It’s how you keep the fearful in line,”

I say to Donnie. He replies, “Fine.”

Donald Trump makes baseless claim that ‘dark shadows’ are controlling Joe Biden

Fox News interviewer says president’s bizarre suggestion ‘sounds like a conspiracy theory’

“We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend,” the president said. “And in the plane, it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.”

Book: Pence told ‘to be on standby’ for Trump hospital visit

—————————————

“In reporting for this book, I learned that in the hours leading up to Trump’s trip to the hospital, word went out in the West Wing for the vice president to be on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized,” Michael Schmidt writes in “Donald Trump v. the United States: Inside the Struggle To Stop A President.”

“Intellect”: hazy. Demonstrably crazy.

Ladies and gentlemen: Trump.

A classic nightmare. Halloween fright fare.

A thing in the night that goes bump.

His supporters adore him,

would gladly die for him

of Covid or other diseases

and will take to task

all wearing masks

to cover their mouths and block sneezes.

Their only priority:

remain the majority,

maintaining a white Christian nation.

They have the will

and will willingly kill

all others without hesitation.

Conquered they did

as their God bid them.

They slaughtered and they enslaved.

They made a mess

and called it successful.

Which on their tombstone they will engrave.

Our Constitution,

written on parchment,

is aged, cracking, and fading.

Sadly, parchment,

a natural product,

is highly biodegradable.

It crumbles to dust

as all things must

on reaching their end of life cycle.

Though not assured

it could have endured,

save for Trump and his disciples.

But its aspirations were always a lie.

Sooner or later it had to die.

However, because of this bloated buffoon,

it's happening now which is too soon.

Numb. 934 On Being Reasonable

There is little we actually know.

We think we know a lot more.

About life. The universe. About everything.

We know we know the score.

We know that we know what we know is true.

That is a fact without question.

And should you say, “That’s your point of view”

we will suggest an obscene digression.

There are others, we hear, with other ideas

about how everything works.

We do not fear them. Nor do we hear them.

We do not bother with ignorant jerks.

We know the Universe revolves about us.

Our existence is all that matters. Thus

we meander, cradle to grave,

chained to the wall of Plato’s Cave.

Numb. 933 And The Moral Is?

Young Reverand Falwell is not immoral,

Nor, in fact, is he weak.

However, forever wrestling with devils

induced him to think he needed to seek 

the sinner buried somewhere within him. 

Sequestered, he hoped, exceedingly deep.

Saving the nation's immortal soul

has always been his only goal.

Never a charlatan deceiving the chumps,

he is, as you know, a friend of the Trumps.

It would be excessively heinous to revel

in saying he chose to dance with devil.

Though he is a “Virginian”, we have cause to suspect

he “sharecrops” a bit in his marital sex.
