I’m not a fan, but your point is well made where the libidinous twit is concerned.

It would certainly save the rest of us. A sacrifice worthy of divinity.

Amazon has made a substantial donation for constructing the ballroom.

So the owner of Amazon sucks up by donating for the project and then praises the project in the news rag he owns.

The problem of an oligarchy.

I’m surprised any Americans are still clinging to the belief that there are going to be free and fair elections under this regime. I expect DPRK flavoured election results for the foreseeable future.

PE practice, Cut staff/wages, high debt/price, asset-stripping tax abuse, poor service.

American lawyers seem to exhibit all the taste and class of a turd in a punch bowl. They seem about as useful too.

Remember how The Great British Establishment insisted that the jam-making allotment-keeper was unelectable and dangerous?

Their hand-picked alternative just got called out as a genocide-enabling war criminal...

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

The elite across multiple industries collapsed immediately. Literally zero fight in them. It was shocking that people with "fuck you" money and power never said it. Seems like the same character traits that get you power and wealth makes you the kind of person who values it above everything else.

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

I will never get used to the idea that people knowingly chose this parallel world in the sole service of a handful of very rich, selfish oilmen rather than being victims of a coup or invasion to achieve it. Sado-masochism taken to the extreme.
