    I have been watching George for many years on Australian TV, now he’s gone, thank god for pod casts.The Trump fallout has reached our shores . White House cut backs have been a silent fog covering the World. This man doesn’t rule for American people ,but just for his personal ideals. David Muir has also been taken from my screen.

Would that have been allowed if the shooter were cis-gender?... more
