Oh God, I feel sick. Ten dead at a Hanukkah candle-lighting at Bondi Beach, including the rabbi. Two men in custody, one having been disarmed by an incredibly brave bystander.

Vulgarity beyond parody. Trump personally takes over, puts in his own people, who don't know what "capacity" or "usher" mean, changes the programming and turns it to trash.
