19. From time to time I feed the pond goldfish of some good friends
Fri Apr 24, 2020, 02:09 AM
Apr 2020

I greet them with a cheery, 'Good morning, fish people' when I arrive. They respond by mouthing a silent rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus.

No, I don't know a single soul amongst liberal and conservative voters alike, who believe that Trump is:

1. Competent
2. Without profound character defects
3. Has the best interest of the American people at heart

Something on which my few conservative friends and I agree is that it is dangerous to elevate a political office to an almost god-like status. I guess that's just an Aussie thing.
