Red Alert!

Australia is under attack!

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that the country was under attack this morning, with a technological invasion underway. Picture: Mick Tsikas/AAPSource:AAP

He did reveal, however, that he considered it severe enough to mobilise Australia's "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance with Canada, the United States, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Attacks on these systems could disrupt – and even kill – on an enormous scale.
But these attacks could also bring down governments and whole societies.

Yes, that's what Australia gets for going around signing nuke non-proliferation treaties and every other feel good tripe accords in the world...and not being nuke armed itself.
That's what it gets for embracing "diversity, tolerance, 'everyone in the world is a lovely person', ...this!
RED REVENGE the headline in the daily telegraph screams today.

Maybe now the Australian govt will actually do something..

With the IT infrastructure you have, any nukes you did get would just be detonated by your enemies right in the silos.

NNFYB.

Red ambassadors and officials should be booted out immediately...and their embassies confiscated, tuned into shelters for bushfire victims.
Sick of seeing their mugs on tv and in my print media.

With the state of nursing homes, a trump rally might be as safe as any way to watch a geriatric dementoid shit the bed.

OK Supreme Court lets attendees make their own call on masks. If you choose to roll around with dogs, you can also choose to get up with as many new fleas as possible.

Pathological disorders on full display.

Could be true.

Another fine GOP elected official gets caught. It's no wonder they're worked up about women coming to the US to have babies - they're the ones setting it up!

Masks and social distancing should be mandatory...with serious penalties enacted for breaches.

A coronavirus outbreak at a Melbourne hotel may have been exacerbated by breaches in social-distancing guidelines as the state's deputy chief health officer reveals hundreds of hotel workers are in quarantine.

Dr Annaliese van Diemen today told reporters health authorities were bracing for more virus cases at the Stamford Plaza Hotel after five security contractors tested positive overnight.

Nice level of sanity shown by Paul Howard in declaring (as if he needed to) that the Rolfe-Brooks case does not rise to the level of death penalty.

MSNBC and CNN anchors please do take note.

The other day he was laughable...

 And...?

Direct quote,  please.   Who said the shooting called for the DP?

He doesn’t know. He’s spouting hysterical talking points from conservative media.

Paul Butler at Georgetown Law said on MSNBC in Georgia, if convicted a person with such charges could get the death penalty or life imprisonment.

That’s all. Quoting the legal statute not casting an opinion


BTW prof. Butler is anti capital punishment, but that’s besides the point with the right wing outrage machine.

I didnt say any anchor called for the death penalty or even said it was probable.

That they echoed the death penalty was possible is what was ridiculous

Velshi
Lemon
Harlow

- and though I didnt watch them Wed and Thu, my guess is Scarborough/Brezhinki, Rhule, Cuomo and Hayes.

Now it's the US national anthem...like I said, they'll be nothing left soon.
The flag will be next, you watch.

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/former-us-coach-arena-says-national-anthem-in-pro-leagues-is-inappropriate/ar-BB15HEYR?OCID=AVRES000

(Reuters) - Former United States soccer coach Bruce Arena questioned the relevance of playing the country's national anthem before matches in professional sports leagues, saying it was inappropriate.

Arena said many of the soccer league's players were also born outside the United States.

"In MLS, most of the players standing on the field during the national anthem are international players. They aren't even Americans. So why are we playing the national anthem?

"... Having said that, I want it understood, I'm very patriotic, but I just think it's inappropriate. And today, it's becoming too big of an issue."

A group of university professors has signed a letter showing their solidarity with students who tried to ban the American flag at the University of California, Irvine – because they said Old Glory contributes to racism.

#####

First the anthem then the flag...unless a stand is made they'll be abolished/cancelled along with everything else.
