One of the Trump regime's hallmarks is appointing high-level apparatchiks who have a history of racism, misogyny, and/or other ugly traits. These are obviously considered qualifications, not problems.
But Big Journalism is surprised every time. At this point, why?
how an adult could behave in this way is just humiliating. Or at least they should be sane and mature enough to be ashamed of themselves. These people are just out and out insane.
"With the trial finally over — and Lai’s life on the line — the timing is right for President Donald Trump to intervene with China on Lai’s behalf, preferably together with Britain, where Lai remains a citizen."

Can the people who have been saying “nah both sides” cut that shit out yet?
For fucks sake.
He has _literally_ already deployed the US military domestically, and now a transparent attempt to justify all the shit he’s going to do by “making it official”.
Fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you, and the copy of mein kampf you had read to you as a baby, apparently. Hateful, worthless piece of insecure garbage. At least Hitler could paint.

the three of them make me feel very stabby. i have to repeat myself: it’s not the ideologues or nazis that make fascism thrive. it’s the cynical corruptocrats, marketing themselves as noble liberals and centrists, out to make a buck. there is no fascism without corruption.
I don’t pay for The Saturday Paper, so I don’t know how this sentence ends. Therefore I had to imagine the ending myself. ‘The lobbyists who control Canberra’ “Before I decided to run for parliament, like many Australians I was frustrated and angry about the many decisions the government made that clearly weren’t evidence-based or in the best interests of Australians.

I keep getting "memory" video snips on my phone that Google puts together. Photos from about 6 months ago.
Dear reader, they are putting together automated video essays of the realities of dealing with my aunt's hoarding situation. To sentimental music.
Because that was such a special time in my life.
Cleaning out a hoarder's house while looking for family heirlooms. Dealing with gazillion of drain flies or whatever those were. Finding moldy food containers tossed across the room. Avoiding the cat shit and the spot where she died. Catching her 2 semi-feral cats with KFC chicken.
All while wearing a hazard suit and respirator.
Fun times.
Am very grateful I did not take many photos of the worst of it.
Yes Google, these are special memories. And your are just as special for memorializing them to me.
