Australian dad of 6, believer in science, grammar, fun, love, getting along, and general decency (not necessarily in that order). But... aghast at what happened in the 2024 US elections, and sick to my gut of the implications for the world. #WeCanDoBetter

WTF did JD Vance say to him?

I really thought it'd take a bit longer before the break-up would start!
Great job by all those who helped push the "President Musk" point - and that includes mainstream media. It got under that orange skin real quick!

You're right, and you're wrong.
You guys ARE alone in your country, at least in some ways.
But you're not alone in the world. The rest of the world looks on (well, through the fingers we keep face-palming ourselves with), see Trump for what he is, and we're with you.

"Days" is a typo, right...?

Bummer. There go a fuck ton of jokes over the next 4 years. 😋

Please think for yourselves, everyone.
Criticise specific points in an article, by all means. But bashing ALL mainstream/legacy media without reading/watching any of it is playing right into the hands of Trump and his war on truth, FFS!

I believe Trump's a rapist.
But it's disappointing to see how many here are so eager to jump on the bandwagon of painting all legacy media with the same brush.
Please actually read the article, which makes some very good points. Let's not be a dumb mob like MAGA.

Great to see signs (no pun intended) that there are still decent people in charge of *some* things in America...

It's a very sad situation.
But in all fairness, I don't think it's right to call the poor stupid. They probably voted hoping for *any* change. Not their fault that Fox News et al continually lies to them, and that their situation makes them desperate enough to believe Trump's outrageous lies.

That's absolutely disgusting, and very scary. Gilead in the making.

And apparently Ukrainian sources have claimed responsibility for assassinating a top Russian general using a bomb hidden in an electric scooter. Damn.

Haha, brilliant! 😂
But don't be surprised if he gets confused, because as a guy, I'd cover my drink, too, when he walks by. 😜

Oh yeah, cause that's the important distinction. You know what makes #Bluesky great? Blocking, and block lists. Welcome to mine, feel free to add me to yours. 😂

So one quick look at your profile tells me a lot, you pathetic hypocrite of a troll. You do know what the "f" in "lmfao" means, right? Fuck off to trollville.

They used to get outraged, back when him saying something incredibly stupid/offensive/outrageous was new. It's hard for anyone to maintain that level of outrage when he'll just say something even worse the next day.
He's desensitised us all, including the media, and we're all a bit dumber for it.

Well, except that autistic people (I'm on the spectrum myself) also need vaccines. 😉 Other than that, I agree - none!

I don't understand the complaints about "manufactured controversy". I'd rather have people know about this Dutton BS than not. In a lead up to an election, how can you expect them to NOT report this?
As for journalism standards, yeah, they're crap these days, but the ABC is still way above the rest.

I would pay good money to watch that particular toxic empire crumble.

Agreed - except that Trump isn't a psychopath, he's a sociopath. Important difference. Everything else is spot on.

Thanks, I really needed that reminder! 😊
Too bad there's a good chance Rubio and the other cronies will just conveniently forget how they voted on this bill. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and they won't overturn it when 🍊 asks...

The danger of having a toddler with the IQ of a long red tie believing he knows better than anyone else and making decisions that will affect the whole world cannot be overstated.

Changes do need to be made to US elections, no doubt about it - just not by that guy, or any of his cronies.
