There really is some dog awful stuff in this place.
AND there is also respect, fun & kindness.
Sure, I can scroll on past the shite - and often do.
Lately, having to do that a lot.
Over it.
The corruption of the Republican Party is staggering. It will tolerate any Trump outrage for the power his presidency gives them. Australian conservatives who align with Trump are happy to go along with this. Hanson. Rinehart. Abbott. Advance Australia etc. Shocking!
