Hey my green loving friends, seeing as this thread seems to have been of a passionate political nature lately I was interested in where everyone gets their news or interpretation of facts or opinions from?
I don't listen to an enormous amount of legacy media and whilst I trust some outlets for general reporting I choose to listen to people who seem genuine, are entertaining and independent. Also willing to call people out or Q things no matter who or what side of the fence they sit.
Pissed Off Bartender, Trae Crowder (Liberal Redneck), Supertanskiii, Johnathon Pie, Secular Talk and Hawkes Podcast all get my attention for international commentary.
Punters Politics and The West Report for Australian stuff.
And the great man Terence McKenna who in 1998 predicted that things would get incredibly rocky globally because the systems in place are inadequate. He thought there would be a dangerous rise in fascism, climate catastrophes and pandemics within 30 years. Not at all depressing hahaha.
Time to roll one me thinks and get back to trimming.

to be honest i steer clear of it.
I’m too cynical to really believe very much.
And while i see the entertainment value, i have found consuming less news is great for my mental health.
so usually its by accident.
i sometimes watch abc or SBS news.
very occasionally watch sky or fox for a laugh. but mostly it makes me annoyed.
I have a degree in media studies which led to my cynicism.

Trumps "overall" approval ratings in USA are tanking nearly as fast as stock markets.
He's fallen from 51% positive on 20 Jan, down to 41% positive now.
Didn't you see the thousands of anti Trump rallies all throughout USA and Europe last week? Did you miss the global Tesla attacks too?
Both his tariff and Ukraine *DISapproval* ratings now hover around 70%. Most Americans hate what he's doing with both tariffs and Ukraine.
The world has already seen enough of the MAGA absurd nonsense. Didn't take long.
Were just watching the Executive Branch implode now. Senator Schiff is already drafting Impeachment articles against all 17 of the Execs for insider trading. The articles will be tabled soon after Nov 2026 mid terms.
Its all downhill now for Trump. He will lose
( by a very wide margin) both Houses at mid terms in Nov 2026. Lone lame duck President will be crucified by Democrats for his last 2 years of office. Assuming he hangs around. His ego may see him hand over the poison chalice to Vance.
His master tariff plan was the most idiotic economic disaster the world has ever seen. Peter Navarro has been internationally ousted as an economic fraudster. Everyone but MAGA is laughing about it
You mean the paid protesters ?
Adam schiff can say all he wants but like all leftie false news he has no facts ,,,but matter of fact it is Him that will be investigated ,,salary under 200 thousand a year but a multi millionaire..the silly cunt bought himself undone by projecting onto the republicans,,he will go down with Pelosi and a dozen or so other democrats that have really been buying and selling with insider information.
Trump doesn’t even want tariffs ,,so there is no way he would take advice from Navarro ,,it’s only the leftie bullshit you listen to that thinks he would take advice from him..
Did the wokies tell you Maga aren’t laughing at him ?,,wrong again.
Even musk got in and called him a moron ,,
What were you virtue signalling the other day about some innocent guy getting deported ? Wrong again,, More leftie bullshit ,,,fuck you are gullible.
Just another example of you hating Americans and favouring
Criminal gang members that rape and kill their children .
You aught to be ashamed of yourself.

Bukele is openly lying in this propaganda video. He is a criminal like Trump and openly lies to media, just like Trump
Garcia doesn't have any criminal record or conviction. The White House has already admitted he is innocent and was deported in error
You're drinking the kool aid.
If you think Bukele isn't lying in the video, go and find Garcia's criminal record. Even the White House admitted Garcia has no criminal record

Supreme Court has already ruled that Garcia was wrongly deported and must be returned to the United States.

You call facts from the horse’s mouth as fake.?
Then show someone’s opinion piece as proof ?
If you can’t see how juvenile your reasoning is then you are most probably a moron…

Pot calling the kettle black again mate. The only "news sources" you ever seem to use are RWNJ YouTube videos.
Seriously high brow stuff mate. You can't see that you live in a RWNJ echo chamber pal - sad that you regurgitate
this lame ass bullshit mate but you're just so far down your little Trump rabbit hole it's no longer a surprise.
As I previously observed, you really should just sell up here, since you hate Australia so much and go live in Florida or maybe Alabama, buy a few guns and sit on your porch taking pot shots at those immigrant varmints. Lol. Have a carrot mate.
PS - When you have to resort to throwing out personal transphobia and homophobic insults on here at people you disagree with, that is your "white flag" moment - proof that you have nothing and you have lost the argument and are incapable of participating in a reasoned, logical discussion. It's there for all to see .......

Yes its a lie. Bukele is a dictator and lies about many things. Just like Trump.
The Supreme Court has already voted 9-0 as Trumps lawyers couldn't find a single criminal act Garcia has done . Those same lawyers have already admitted in court that Garcia was mistakenly deported
You're just embarrassing yourself now.
Just because someone says something, doesn't mean it's true/fact. Flawed logic

ChatGPT: "Give me a 120 word rant based on Sky News and Herald Sun style about how bad Labor and Albanese is. Include cost of living, DOGE and wokeness" ........
Answer: "Albanese and Labor are steering this country straight off a cliff. Six bucks for a bag of chips, gas bills through the roof, and all we get from Albo is woke spin and smug memes. Families are drowning under skyrocketing rents and grocery prices, and Labor’s answer? More bureaucracy, more red tape, and a housing plan economists say will push prices higher. While they obsess over pronouns and censoring speech, real Aussies are getting hammered. Meanwhile, Peter Dutton is the only adult in the room — focused on real solutions, restoring common sense, and backing hardworking Australians. He’s not afraid to take on the woke elite and put you first. Time to ditch the spin and back a leader who actually gets it."
Lol.

This would not surprise me at all. You only need to listen to him attempt to correctly pronounce words and struggle to speak in coherent sentences to understand his lack of intelligence.
When you consider how uneducated his supporters are it's easy to see how he was freely elected.

I agree. I posted it for a few fans of AI on here, although doubtful they bother to read it.
I am not an AI advocate, hate it in fact, despite post #3,036.
