Time to switch off the news.

All this Trump stuff making him out like a hero makes me sick to the stomach.

Times like this I am so very thankful I do not watch TV. I don't even know where the aerial cable is in my apartment, and the TV is currently unplugged in the spare room lol. If I want to watch something I use a streaming service (like taskmaster on channel 9 or whatever it is, not Netflix), or if I want news I go to the Guardian or ABC. That way I can pick what I want to know about.

Trump is a fuckwit.

he's a pedophile

being shot at doesn't change that

in fact, maybe that's why he was shot !!

I’m just turned on the ps5 and sitting on a menu screen.

Might watch some YouTube videos that I sub to if there’s anything new or put a movie on

How is someone who has repeatedly called for his political opponents to be assassinated a hero?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

I’m not the person to ask since I loathe it so much.

His fanatic followers would provide a better answer to that.

Got into an argument with a mate the other day where I said he deserved to be shot. My mate was incredulous about how serious a claim that was, but what’s trumps death toll do you reckon? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? To say nothing of the people he swindled.
