A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

It's wild how much better Clinton is at speaking than Trump. Also crazy that they're the same age.

He lied back then, he lied now.

Keep blowing hot air, jackass.

There is a president who does nothing but lie constantly currently in power. Why is he not being subpoenaed?

Sure, but every time I see a comment like this I find the lack of nuance to be super odd.

It's like I have these two apple pies. One of the pies is still an apple pie, but it's just a bit undercooked. The other one was made with literal human shit instead of apples. They both fucking suck so let's just mix them together and eat both.

He certainly can. But there's no proof he is lying. Until there is, it's an assumption. At the same time there is a pathological liar president. A man mentioned many more times in the Epstein files, accusing him of raping minors. The focus should be on him. This whole deposition is a distraction and deflection. And it's blatantly obvious.

So that's really easy for trump now. Just release the files showing him he was lying under oath.

Is it? One is a Rhode scholar, the other is Donald Jessica Trump. That's like pointing out how much better at math Einstein is compared to Mr. Ed.

I guess I just find it jarring. Trump is clearly showing signs of dementia with his constant rambling verbal diarrhea into western media, but most of the time that only makes you think that maybe a lot of 79 year men sound like that, but then you hear someone like Clinton (or Sanders) talk and it brings Trump's steep decline into clear focus.

It is wild that Trump is in the position he's in with the state of his faculties and capabilities.
