Nice.

Turdball said a buncha bullshit today about everything being rigged blah blah I'm not gonna read it the headline was enough - here's the thing: motherfucker's still under a gag order! Trial isn't over and the judge hasn't lifted it. STFU!

[!@#$%!]

just quickly to add to the previous, here is a coherent conservative take on why evangelicals support israel

He couldn't shut up if he tried.

ssssssso, the original source of the national review article i linked earlier turned out to be pretty eloquent and interesting. worth a read:

again i do not share anybody's religion or religious views there, but it's a potent explainer for those who may not know (like me)

well, since the gaza subject has been at last unleashed, there was an editorial in the financial times today in which ariel emanuel (superpower talent agent, and brother of obama's chief of staff rahm) calls netanyahu a narcissist who does not want peace and whose only interest is to stay in power and out of jail

not sure if civilians can read directly that but it's probably been republished elsewhere... lml...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...el/ar-BB1nKu9h

it' not complete though, here's my copypasta of the end:

Netanyahu is a narcissist. He has failed spectacularly in keeping Israelis safe. Before October 7, he said his goal was to empower Hamas in Gaza in order to undermine the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and with it the chances of a two-state solution. So he allowed hundreds of millions of dollars from Qatar to be funnelled to Hamas.

Netanyahu has failed as a wartime leader. It’s no surprise that Hamas is popping back up in areas of Gaza already cleared once, because Netanyahu has no plan and has refused to learn the lessons of previous conflicts, including America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The generals are practically screaming that he is dangerously incompetent.

Netanyahu has no plan for how to end the war or secure the peace because that’s not his goal. He has only one plan: endless war so he can stay in office and out of jail. On that he is, so far, a success.

US Senator Chuck Schumer is right that “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah”. But that’s what’s happening. When I was growing up, any time there was a Jew in the news who had done something bad, my father would say, “He’s ruining the Jewish people’s reputation in the world!” That’s Netanyahu. He is doing lasting damage both to Israel and to Jews everywhere.

There is no contradiction in saying that Israel should do whatever it takes to free the hostages and destroy Hamas, while also seeking to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza, stop settler violence, and pursue a two-state solution. We can both mourn the deaths of innocent Palestinians and call out antisemitism wherever it lurks. These are all just causes and they are all connected. But none of it will happen with a failed, incompetent, selfish leader at the helm. Netanyahu must go.

and on a lighter note, here are the tv versions of ariel and rahm emanuel

 

 

not true to life, just "inspired by" more like

anyway yeah. ok

...and also the "inspiration" for Jeremy Piven's character in Entourage, just like his brother was (more vaguely, though) for Bradley Whitford's in The West Wing.

I realize this adds nothing to the conversation about Gaza, but I had to mention it.

lmao wtf

anyway i knew discussing gaza would end up being pointless. although for me at least i got to vent my frustrations

so back to something more immediate to you-- big article on the financial times today about el tren de aragua in chile

watchu gonna do about venezuela's #1 export?

[!@#$%!]

I had to look that up. Didn't know jack about it. Dude, it took me two days to "find out" Piñera and his helicopter had dropped dead. That's how connected to this place I am. On the flipside, I can give you every detail of Baltimore's Key Bridge. I loved that bridge in The Wire!

What am I gonna do about it? Stay away from places I never go to anyway, and be more vigilant when I'm outside, I guess. What is this country gonna do about it? Elect its own MAGA-Moron, of course - I believe it is inevitable at this point.

that's some kind of epicurean walled garden right there. with televised disasters!

how did livy put it... "it is pleasant, when the sea is high and the winds are dashing the waves about, to watch from the shores the struggles of another"

i had forgotten already about piñera. i guess it was pushed further back by the dead iranian. i'm never getting on a fucking helicopter

ah so it's immediate/noticeable, not just a media thing? damn...

Are you referring to the Venezuelan gang or to Kast (our MAGAsshole)? If it's the former, I can positively tell you the media always amplifies it big time, yet crime is indeed a thing. As for noticing it right away... I don't think so — I mean, stay out of objectively dangerous areas (and why would you go there anyway) and don't be careless even if the surroundings are pretty and calm and, like, so totally First World. If you're gonna use your phone on the sidewalk, sit down on a bench first; don't walk-&-talk or you could be inviting some motherfucker right behind you to snatch the cell from your hand.

I'd have to crunch the numbers, but I think Kast would reach 50% + 1 (THAT'S HOW YOU DETERMINE WHO'LL BE PRESIDENT, DAMMIT) in a second round of voting. Unwelcome back, fascism.

[!@#$%!]

fucking hugo chávez, this is how it always ends

if kast wins you're gonna need a second golden age of television to get through it

well, yes maybe, but here we're used to all kinds of crime, hahaha

just a few years ago, ms13 was all the rage, and el chapo was in the news, and various mexican cartels are well known, etc etc, and it's always one thing or another

but for example, 3 months ago the nyt was claiming there is no such thing as an immigrant crime wave in new york:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/15/n...crime-nyc.html

the peculiar thing the ft mentioned was that tren the aragua was also in places like colombia and perú but those places were "accustomed to crime" (or something, lol, very funny) whereas chile had been caught by surprise by these fuckers and the cops were a bit disoriented

oh they mention ecuador too but in the list of the accustomed, lol, but ecuador is in another league altogether, being occupied by the cartel right now, insane

Anyone who'd like to have an Emmanuel Macron?
Don't know what you could do with that, but for the item's own safe, it'd be better out of France

Beware: doesn't have a clue what real life is but persists he's invincible (proof: Putin) and is the best candidate at reaching power to overcome the sad losers who've run the country for the last 12 years (forgetting he's been a part of the running of the country during that period of time, spent on his spare time at promoting the far right)

Prediction: this Thursday, the Orange Amoeba will shout shit while his mic is off and Biden is speaking. Who's with me!

[!@#$%!]

fuck, i watched the debate last night but after a while i had chest pains and felt like vomiting. it was very hard to watch that trainwreck

covfefe on the one hand spewing a blue streak of lies with zero compunction and no fact-checking

uncle joe on the other hand enfeebled, incomprehensible, and impotent to stop him

biden looked terrible with a droopy eye and mouth open, could barely speek, and confused himself speaking. the orange beast just making up shit in a very clear manner

i get it that biden is a decent old man, and can read a teleprompter, but he's finished now, and something needs to be done here by the democrats. fuck

this is terrible. a real emergency

thank you for your service uncle joe, but time to go...

[choc e-Claire]

What a shock. Who could have possibly foreseen this.
