In short:
The American Broadcasting Company has axed Jimmy Kimmel Live! for comments the host made referencing the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has received hundreds of complaints intended for America’s ABC about the show being cancelled.
The vast majority of complaints sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation contained expressions of dismay, with many citing concerns about free speech and the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
lol
Well right now the barometer is running about 85 percent glad of our Westminster-style democracy, 10 percent secondhand embarrassment and alarm about the state of the US, and then of course there’s the omnipresent 5 percent who think that everything the US has done and is currently doing should be slavishly copied here.
That last 5 percent can generally defined as the opinions of the proportion of the population that, kindly speaking, have a few kangaroos loose in the ol’ top paddock.
On election day, I saw a man on a mobility scooter with Trump flags waving behind him. I’d say he had more than a few kangaroos loose…
At the last election day here there was a Muppet fully dressed like trump.
I live on an island in Redland Bay.
Population about 6 or 7000.
Sad fifteen minutes of fame.
And sadly I know lots of people that think that trump is great. One mate ( I rarely see him anymore ) said a few years ago that he should rule the whole world. This is a 66 year old builder. Sad indeed.
People who say that sort of thing tend to be the sort of people who have the political awareness of a sloth. When you spend 15 seconds talking to them it becomes very apparent that they haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.
I’ve never met anyone (non-American) who seriously expresses support for Trump who isn’t like that.
