war crimes, are you sure michael you wish to advocate, for destruction of civilian infrastructure, you sounded like a hardcore cult of maga supporter, remember orange jesus started this war
I enjoy listening to Michael. He has sensible opinions and is very articulate.
Even by 2gbs low standards , this far right wind bag is a rather pathetic …. Standard 2gb hash - family friendly, dishonest , fabricated and ill informed right wing extremist delivered by a boorish fool who appears to have been born without and charm or a personality
Not a band they are a troupe
Belongs on the ABC. Boring as watching paint dry. Good for background noise when you need a nap.
