In questa settimana mi sono spremuta come un limone: campioni, lavorazioni conto terzi, rogne varie, gente in prova, gente niubba, problemi, assenze importanti, straordinari, cose arrangiate, salti mortali, pretese, acqua alla gola, solitudine:
cerco disperatamente di non lasciare spazio al Cicciomerda.
So perfettamente che mezzo reparto lo preferisce a me, solo perché uomo e ciccioso.

After a billionaire friend complained to Trump about paying more for a weight-loss drug in the U.S. than in the UK, Trump issued an executive order claiming to lower prescription drug prices. But when you look closely, it’s more populist cosplay than meaningful reform.
That’s why progressive lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna are calling Trump's bluff and urging Republicans to support legislation that would actually make these changes law. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…
Trump's Favored Nation Prescription Drug Order Is Empty Promise
Trump is pretending to try to lower prescription drug prices—and it's hollow to the coreThe Big Picture

Iranian President Hits Back at Trump: ‘Let Him Dream’
KERMANSHAH (IP) — President Masoud Pezeshkian fired back at U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, dismissing his recent criticism of Iran’s internal challenges and vowing to resolve national problems with the help of the Iranian people.iranpress.com
Rubio on Turkey peace talks: Russia’s delegation isn’t a sign of real progress.
“I hope I’m 100% wrong and we see a ceasefire tomorrow. But honestly, I doubt it. We need Trump directly involved — and I believe he agrees.”
"We need Trump" 🤡 🤡 🤡
There is almost no scenario in human society where a reasonable person would say Donald Trump was needed. Not even to walk the dog. Literally never. Because he's a felonious, narcissistic, rapist imbecile.
And yet, somehow, the American people found way to put this piece of shit in government, and in the middle some of the most barbarous acts on Earth. Humans will burn.
