Oh no! Our precious billionaires are threatening to leave?! You mean that sub-class of parasitic sociopaths who buy politicians so that they never have to support the workers upon whose lifeblood they depend?

A man who thinks that one human being is expendable, "a small price to pay.", is a man who thinks that ANY human being is expendable. May I respectfully suggest it is time for all Americans to take to the streets?

Even before threatening to shove things up people's asses, the US president was obscene. Utterly obscene. That word defines every aspect of his regime.

Reminds me of the Emperor Caligula, who laughed hysterically when he told his dinner guest, "I could have your throat cut with a single word."

Again, if you owe a woman $5 million dollars for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

He lives in vulgar palaces. He and his vile family enrich themselves and do nothing for their country. He illegally attacks another oil-producing country. Tell me, in what way is Trump NOT like Saddam Hussein?

The true purpose of AI is to allow those of little talent and no distinction to place themselves alongside those who have actually made a difference in the world. Look at the number of medals they've put on the deluded fuckwit! The man is a complete joke!

What does money buy you? It buys you respect. It buys you access. It buys you a buffer between your actions and accountability. It buys you silence. Maybe it is time that we stopped equating 'wealth' with 'worth'.

SpaceX rocket expected to have crashed into Moon - live updates
The stray piece of the Falcon 9 rocket is about the size of a five-storey building, with a weight on Earth of at least 4,000kg.

Conservatives crave a return to the 1950s. Fine. Let us have: 90% tax rate on highest income. Investment in public infrastructure. Unionised workplaces. Zero outsourcing. Products that are 100% repairable. Single worker income sufficient to support a family of five. That would be a good start.

The most important lesson I've learnt is that difference and division are illusions perpetuated by the fearful and the devious. Unity is the only reality.

I know things feel pretty grim at the moment, but there are still those who demonstrate the courage to challenge the greed and malice of a deranged monarch, in 2026 as in 1776! So I'm wishing my American brothers and sisters a great July 4th and bisesquicentennial!

It's the oldest play in the book "To defy the government is to defy the will of God!" In this case it is an act of desperation by "Christian" leaders who can feel power slipping through their fingers. They have nothing to offer the people, so instead they seek control. substack.com/@heatherdela...

That we even have the word 'trillionaire' in a world where children go to bed hungry just shows how f*cked up the system really is.

Team America: World Police came out 22 years ago. Although much of it doesn't stand the test of time, who doesn't remember laughing at the lonely, vindictive dicator, in his vulgar gilded palace, with a giant statue of himself, who represented the polar opposite of everything America stood for?

So, Donald's foul paymasters in the fossil fuel industry have made obscene profits from his illegal war. However, EV sales and interest in renewable energy are way up, so let's hope the party will soon be over for BP and friends.

He claims to have been appointed by God. His 'residences' are full of the vulgar trapping of wealth and privilege. He comes from a long line of murderers, fuckwits and perverts. Yes, King Charles should feel right at home in the current White House.
