I feel like I’m looking at a scene from The Reanimator.

Regular Wahhabism cuts too many fat checks to Larry Ellison.

Oh sure. Hillary and Sarkozy suckered him into it. But that’s half the problem with Obama. Whether its Larry Summers or Joe Biden or Rick Warren or Elon Musk, there’s always some rich white asshole by his side, dangling a million dollar speaking tour over his head and leading him like a rented mule.

She’s got a lot of dead bodies to stack up before she reaches the Obama tier. But if the confrontation along Venezuela’s cost goes hot, she could get there quick.

Oh, I agree completely. Prayers are dumb. Posting is based.

Sheeple running around a black cube to worship some imaginary sky-friend.

Thanks, kid. I never thought about it this way before. Stupid idiots are gathering together in celebration of a shared philosophy that spans race, language, and over a millennium of social change? I can’t believe anyone would waste so much time and energy to visit an archeological touchstone and show even a modicum of awe.

The Kabba is going on my shit list right alongside the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Hagia Sophia, and Tenochtitlan. Sheeple! SHEEPLE!

Linux Wahhabism is going to be so weird.

Kissinger won in '73, right after the bombing of Cambodia. Obama in '09 as he was gassing up the jets to level Libya and butcher Afghans for another eight years. Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzakh Rabin - three avowed terrorists - all got the prize in 1994 shortly before they fell back into their low-grade civil war. Kofi Annan and the UN won in 2001, seven years into running the phenomenally corrupt “Oil for Food” program used to loot Iraq.

It’s a bad award for bad people.

In a few more months, she’ll be taking the title of President off Juan Guaidó.

The “Peace Prize” winner has been trying to violently overthrow the Venezuelan government since the Bush Era failed coup in 2002.

What should be happening here is reissuance of corrected documents with the proper expiration date, because California fucked it up in the first place.

California politicians love incarceration far more than functional bureaucracy.

What should not be happening is punishing people who have followed the law.

There’s too much money to be made press ganging convicts. But don’t worry. Once we’ve got everyone fitted with an ankle bracelet and earning $.15/hr, we’ll get them all back out on the road again. Same as we’ve done with California fire fighters and road workers.

The financial ramifications of ending prison slavery have been a major hurdle to its abolition. In California, an estimate from 2022 suggests that ending the practice would cost the state $150 billion annually.

Post Soviet Eastern European states are all like this.

Our Walgreens is basically a shell at this point. I almost never see more than one person working on a given day. No idea how they keep functional

Laughs as I cast Tenser’s Transformation

most people will keep voting for their party even when their house is literally set on fire by their representative.

They’ll vote and they’ll cheer, because they were told the house needed to be set on fire. And they’ll believe this because every single news organization in the country - from local to national - is part of a holding company owned by Arson Inc.

At some point you have to look past politics as a collection of “stupid” individuals and see a machine that exists to manufacture consent.

The two party system is baked into the system

Two parties is a national phenomena. For most states, it’s a single dominant party and a rump opposition.

I hope they all rot in hell for selling out.

They’ll be fetted at dinner parties hosted by the Responsible Moderates For A Wonderful Future PAC and offered board seats on shell companies that handle $40B in tax evaded funded when they retire.
