Our splendid contest for the photography group April is open for business. In case you missed it I thought I would pop by and encourage you to go visit. The pictures are stunning this month and really have the ability to make your heart sing in a time of sorrow. Please pop by and have a wee look. Maybe vote and show your appreciation of the splendid work your fellow DUers have produced.

Ten years on the tea party is now a death cult and their white supremacist shite privilege has got worse, even though that would have been difficult to imagine 10 years ago.

What America’s lockdown protests tell us about the past and future of the US right

Indeed, this is exactly who they are and it is worth clicking on the link to read the entire article.

Heh. When all of this is over and the investigation into the handling of this is done, the biggest disgrace will be this... the utter incompetence in failing to ensure the health and welfare of front line staff is shocking. But this is what happens when sycophantic arse kissers get promoted to the great offices of state, cause Boris and Brexit, rather than grown ups and those who have dedicated their lives to helping others are literally dying because of it.

This is absolute genius!

They wanted a zombie apocalypse and instead they have been politely asked to stay at home... whiny fuckers be whiny because they are being asked to self sacrifice to save lives rather than being hunter gatherer boom boom.

Of course the right wing nasty pushing these protests say this has nothing to do with them.
Heckling care workers seems to be the new normal for the death cult. You really cannot make this shit up.

All this what if President Obama had done it shit. Comparing Trump to President Obama is like comparing a fuck witted orange dog turd with a fully grown up stable and compassionate big brain who, whether you agreed with certain policy decisions or not, always acted in what he believed where the best interests of America, rather than himself.

So this...


I have no desire or need to imagine this, we all know that republicans are hypocritical lying crooked racist arseholes. We also know that on his worst day Obama would never have done anything remotely as cruel and inhumane as the way Trump has behaved on his best day.

It does a disservice to President Obama to compare him to anything that wanker in the White House does.

Just sayin'

Now you all know I am not an American, so please help me out here. The more I consider the protests on state houses cause the evil governor dictators are just like Hitler in the minds of the death cult crowd, the more there is something I do not understand.

I get they are right wing, I get that after 50 years of republicans telling them that they should not trust the agencies of governance that they have brought the cheese, I get that they watch an incitement to death media, I get all of that.

What I do not understand is this… How can they purposefully believe that the governors are doing shut downs as an action of bad faith? Do they really believe that these men and women actively want to bring recession, hardship, destitution, dwindling tax revenue as businesses close, because they want to take away the freedom of their citizens? Really? How can that make sense? Do they not understand that they have modelled all possible outcomes from the decisions that they are making, and shutting down is best possible way to ride out the pandemic? That all other options bring about a worse outcome, both in health and in the economy. Do they really believe that these decisions have been made as some nefarious deep state freedom stealing plot? Really? It literally makes no sense.
