    smack talk

    Nice! 90’s throw back

    From the article

    That award goes to Caroline Beresford, who as New Zealand’s deputy head of mission to the US in 2018 sent a despairing message to the Democratic Party on Twitter: “Please get your shit together or we will all die.” Peters was the foreign minister then but did not intervene

    So talking shit, is not always punished…it is just punished when referring to Trump?

        One could easily argue that the audience for a tweet is significantly larger than whilst on stage.
