Allocated without Congressional approval in order to prop up an autocrat. And just after we snatched back every dollar going to starving and sick children globally.

We are the shithole nation.

The novelisation is a missed opportunity and a lost art form, poached from us by capitalists.

We still know the stories of Robin Hood and King Arthur because of novelisations. Peter Pan & Hitchhiker were novelisations. They should be a thing all writers can enjoy doing, knowing it's a real art form

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Thought I was fucking losing it then. Turned over to ITV1 and they're showing The Dark Knight again, the second time in three nights. It's a great film but come on, play the game. No wonder broadcast television's on its arse.
