Honest Gov dot com: Your leaders and lawmakers, rated for probity, intelligence and effective policymaking. Whistleblower content welcome.

Ought to fly on schadenfreude alone.......

This inability to see politics as a (dirty) job and politicians as professionals with a job to do, rather than more or less colourful entertainers prancing on the stage of your id, will kill us if we don't get it under control.

Challenge to Trustpilot and Snopes -

You don't hire a plumber because he's funny, or you saw him on TV once, or "he's the kind of guy you'd like to grab a beer with".

And you certainly don't watch him create a free flowing river of shit in your bathroom and act like it's fine and give him another chance.

You fire that fuck.

What with this and Quiet, Piggy, he’s going downhill fast. Total failure of capacity for restraint.

Won’t be surprised if he gets his dick out at his next presser……

Or shits himself…..

Yeah, they've got some great writers, produce some good stuff, and have been unequivocal in their attitude to Trump (broke with their historical no-endorsement policy to endorse every candidate against him). I've enjoyed having the sub.

But this shit........

Unforgivable pandering.

Not individually lethal - they're vermin, not scary monsters - but they move fast & can be hard to hit, deliver limited but significant bite damage & if they swarm you....

Shoot 'em, melee 'em, stomp 'em. License to play the mode retails for a modest price, all proceeds to Ukrainian war charities.

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh like a drain until your sides ache, and then laugh some more.

Also recall - now I come to think of it - an early draft script for Altered Carbon I saw back in the day, in which our hero, rather than cave to the femme fatale's persuasive extra-marital overtures (as he does in the book) instead knocks himself out with a whisky bottle, *I fucking kid you not*!!
