Protests going on in Australia that is attracting thousands of people in all of the major cities. While it is partly in solidarity with the mericans, we have our own problem with aboriginal people dying while in custody.
In Sydney today:
so, according to Trump, when a man gets murdered, no worrys, he will enjoy eternal life in heaven and have good days up there? Why do we even have laws then. Let’s all go to heaven… why wasting our time here. Somebody should help Trump to get up there /s
