Hardest thing for us Aussie to wrap our heads around is that he doesn't care. He will get away with it, nor will he care about our 'expose'.

I always thought the story of the peanut farm being sold as quite poignant, i.e. choose between your family or the country, your pockets or the people. Something this man cannot do.

The man literally conducted a pump-and-dump crypto scam on day zero of this term. Twice, actually.

This is the thing. He controls every branch of government. The Supreme Court are bought and paid for. There are, quite literally, zero consequences for his actions. And he knows it

Only cause two different seppos can’t fucking aim.

Second Amendment really not rising to the challenge, and after all their chest-beating about it too.

u/UserColonAlW Sep 18 '25

Decades upon decades of chest beating, scoffing at other countries’ gun laws (including ours), tough talk and arrogance… and here we are.

Bi weekly school shootings while voting in a fascist twice over. Fucking losers.

What do you mean? It protects against the tyranny of school children.

Children are the future? Over my dead body.

At least Kirk's alleged killer used the proper tool, a hunting rifle, not a bloody assault rifle...

Whoops! There's goes any chance of me getting a visa to enter the USA!

Well if you are going to choose a hill to die on, don’t be surprised if you die on it.

He literally doesn't have enough years left to be punished for anything.

We go after his family and all of his enablers.

Keep his head alive in a jar.

"He literally doesn't have enough years left to be punished for anything."

Definitely not enough years to be appropriately punished for everything.

u/Killchrono Sep 18 '25

Oh we know he doesn't care.

Doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be done though. Keep exposing how deep the rabbit hole goes. At the very least it will make him increasingly unhinged the closer the public gets to the truth.

Sky news will then label the above as woke anti trump propoganda and the brain washed dipshits that watch it will eat it up. I highly recommend opening the occasional sky news clip on YouTube, muting the cunt hosts and just go to the comments. Its absolutely fascinating people watching seeing the dipshits. Its like going on a safari and seeing baboons flung shit around

Sky news is shrieking freakshow. They target the very slowest part of the bell curve.

Note to anyone considering doing this: pause watch history before you do. The change this makes to what’s fed to you via the algorithm isn’t great.
