In my country, the Premier of the most populous state resigned because he failed to declare a bottle of wine that was gifted to him.
In your country the President is named in files relating to a person who was a known child sex trafficker, a convicted felon and a proven sexual assailant.
You should be on the streets en masse.
- jfengel 1y agoWe have been. It didn't do any good. This person was voted into office less than a year ago, despite the felony conviction and proof of being a sexual assailant. If the election were held again today, it would likely have no different outcome. This news suggests that there may be yet one more thing to lay at his feet, something his supporters claim to be horrified by, but we'll see. I suspect it will not change anything. So we could go out on the streets, but it won't change anything. He won't be embarrassed into resigning. The Congress won't impeach, much less convict. We could bring the economy to a halt, but that would be cutting off our noses to spite our faces -- and it still wouldn't change the President of the United States. If you think we're not outraged, I assure you, we're outraged. We face tens of millions of people who are also outraged -- who think that we are woke leftist monsters, and are literally willing to forgive a pedophile if it provokes us. I don't know what to do, but right now reassuring the Australians that we're upset isn't our top priority.
