Ohhhhhh…

No.

You don’t.

Not even a little bit close

Working in a bar

I love people. I’m a people-person, but I kno know that I am remembering it through rose-tinted lenses

Most customers were average, a few were great, a fair number were dicks

But the hours, the late nights, the cost to my own social life, the lousy pay, the inability to eat normal meals at normal times, all of that shit takes a toll

But I still have some fond memories and occasionally think about opening a bar with my woman

Oh, and I was running a place with a long-term partner. Doing that shit was the final nail in the coffin of our relationship, so fuck that…

Wash between orifices

The corruption is the whole point

'Murica is broken. It always was. It’s just now public

Oh, he was demonstrably horrible long ago

The “Central Park Five” should have disqualified him, but Americans are stupid and hateful as a society, so there is probably no depth to which they will not sink

This should have ended it

But 'Murica has no lower depth. There is nothing too disgraceful, too awful, too hateful

There is no bottom. There is no low to which you will not sink, and then go deeper

He can’t

Because he’s a malignant narcissist

In his mind, he has never done a single thing wrong

Anything that has gone awry is the fault of someone else

He’s a toddler in the body of a sad, fat old rapist

Because he’s weird and ugly, and that shows through physically

Trump wants to hurt people

He hates anyone who isn’t white, and he’s enthusiastic about “cleaning up the streets”

His racism is well documented and goes back a long way

Oh, and he wants to fuck his daughter

At least, the one whose name he has managed to remember…

Oh yeah

Putin has a hold on him because Trump wants to be “manly” like him

Nothing more

He is a bully, and the only thing that inspires a bully is a bigger bully

It’s lost on him that Putin holds him in the same contempt that he himself holds those who he has bullied into submission

Because he’s fucking stupid.

He is probably the most stupid person in politics at a global scale, but he is useful to those who actually tug on the strings of power, and he appeals to enough stupid yanks (and there’s no shortage of stupidity in 'Murica…) with his hate and bluster to be effective

I hope that he gets a taste of the harm he has done throughout his life

All of it.

Yeah,

Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up’s table

Trump wants to be Putin. Putin will always have Trump in his pocket so long as Trump worships him, which he will always do.

Well, Tesla ain’t a great car company, that’s for sure

Their products are shit

Look at Mr Fancy-pants here…

It’s showing just how fucking horrible people can be

This is why I like my dog so much

Golf

A fucking elitist game if ever there was one too, possibly only matched by sailing

Casual objectification of women much…?

Do better

Only the English could invent a game that lasts five days and ends in a draw

Cricket was invented to waste time, and in that regard, it was a great success

Chess is a game, not a sport

There’s obviously great skill involved, but it sure as fuck ain’t a sport.

This shit is truly horrifying

The lessons of history aren’t being forgotten, they’re being used by those as a guide for how to do horrible things better this time around

How would the liver damage compare to a guy drinking heavily every day having given up on the hope of romance?

Obviously they’re different things, and impossible to control for when it comes to clinical data, but people are able to harm themselves in all sorts of ways, and life is inherently messy

America is tribal

I’ve spent a bit of time there, in several different places

There’s a strong sense of community in most places, but if you aren’t a part of that community, then it’s going to be tough

Even in the civilised parts, greed, selfishness and consumption for its own sake are almost fetishised

The “hustle” is worshipped, whereas everywhere else, it’s seen as madness to celebrate doing more to make some rich cunt even richer, because that’s all that is happening over there
