He wants us to be quiet. He wants us to stop questioning his lies. He wants us to accept his spin. He wants us to praise him for achieving nothing. He wants us to accept his environmental destruction.
Too bad we can't always get what we want, eh!

Why is @realDonaldTrump making up this lie? Because he knows these transcripts, which are all reviewed and signed off by the witnesses, will be devastating to him when they are released to the public.
No one is above the law.

Aussie taxpayers; the suckers of the century!
Rupert Murdoch’s media group received a $882m tax rebate from Australia last year.
The rebate related to a $2bn claim by News Corp for historic losses on currency transactions by its Australian subsidiaries.

Let’s not forget Morrison is a religious fanatic who believes everyone external to his faith is going to burn for eternity. This is the madman who is exerting more & more control over the country. He is not a rational human being. He holds insane beliefs.

Hello there @TourismAus & @ScottMorrisonMP
@jommy_tee was wondering why you and the federal government spruiked the latest marketing campaign at $38 million when the actual cost was $65 million?
Thanks in advance.

That's what Joe has been doing all this time, teaching Americans how to relax, and eat and live like a king
You really would not if, why, when, have a clue. Learn the language... – at Melbourne, Victoria
We condemn China but we are fine to keep our offshore & onshore Refugee Concentration Camps running because @ScottMorrisonMP's Australia won't be part of Negative Globalism.

American patriots:
Lt Col Alexander Vindman
Ambassador Bill Taylor
Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
Deputy Asst Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper
People who tried to suppress their testimony:
@SecPompeo
@EsperDoD
@realDonaldTrump
This is what history will show.

UPDATE: Top Democrats at the deposition of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, said his testimony Tuesday was “extremely disturbing” and praised him for appearing despite attacks from the White House. nbcnews.to/2Pubo8B

I will raise this issue in the current Senate Inquiry into Press Freedoms.
This type of behaviour is simply acceptable. Journalists should be able to do their job, reporting on what is happening in the public interest without being attacked and harassed by police.
Journalists should be free to report on protests and demonstrations without being assaulted while they carry out their duties.

Where would anybody, not on Twitter, get information on Taylors document fiasco, his dirty water deals, or grasslands clearing. Gladys Liu, NDIS, Murray Darling Basin scheme Train wreck, and Morrison's associates. Certainly not from ABC or other media, a very convenient silence

Who knows what will happen on impeachment or more broadly with Trump or Trumpism? But I’ll say this: I look at the public servants Trump is labeling #NeverTrump, and I look at the hacks defending Trump, and I’m proud to be on the side I’m on.

The House just voted to recognize the Armenian Genocide – a vote I fought for 19 years to make possible, that tens of thousands of my Armenian American constituents have waited decades to see.
We will not be party to genocide denial. We will not be silent. We will never forget.

More wage theft. This time it’s Woolworths. But is there a squeak from the Morrison “government?” Nah. They’re too busy bashing people on Newstart. amp.abc.net.au/article/11652…
Graeme Orr retweeted
If Woolworths just pays back the money, as per George Calombaris, isn't that akin to an interest free loan from its battling employees? #WageTheft

This is brilliant. Putting Obama and Trump side by side. OMG.
We mashed up @BarackObama’s Bin Laden speech with @RealDonaldTrump’s al-Baghdadi speech, and the results are amazing
