Pretty good, but it definitely needs some of the functionality of GoodReads! There just isn't enough social interaction there. Without that, it's kind of stuck in a quiet place.
If we're lucky BRICS will declare sanctions against the US and its allied fascist regimes. Once the system collapses, perhaps China will invade and free us from American capitalism.
That money's gone. It magically disappeared into Trump family coffers in the Cayman Islands or Swiss bank accounts or someplace. In any case, no one will ever see it again.
So if by some miracle Costco wins their suit, and if by another miracle the Supreme Court doesn't overturn that result, the only way anyone is getting repaid anything is by collecting it out of taxpayer dollars. The money that was actually collected as tariffs is a lost cause. We can look forward to much higher taxes when we are forced to pay back the tariffs that Trump stole.
I swear, the American people must be the stupidest in human existence. Any population with even a single ball between them would have ended all this French-Revolution-style decades ago.
I'm a super-taster and thanks to lots of childhood abuse I'm hypervigilant. So pretty much everything. If a person anywhere in the area has been smoking or in a smoky room any time in the last day or two, I'll know it. I know what you last ate - and drank, if it wasn't water. I can hear a woman sobbing quietly in a locked room down the hall when nobody else can.
I see beauty in the clouds in the sky at night. I smell faint smoke on the wind. Scents that remind me of long ago, when I was a child - like the smell of shrinky-dinks coming off a hot metal mold, or pastries coming out of an Easy-bake oven. Autumn leaves swirling in an icy breeze. Or the smell of something like earwax, or tar.
I often wonder how normal people live without sensing so much of the world!
I'm still skeptical that Epstein died at all! More likely they killed some guy who looked like him and let Mossad spirit the real Epstein away to Tel Aviv, where he's living under a new identity on the beach with all the children he can r*pe.
As for Trump, no. Come on. The only way ANY of the corruption ends is with a general strike and the overthrow of the state - plus, with any luck, capitalism itself.
It's not just the rotating eight. It's not just Schumer.
It's the ENTIRE Democratic Party. This was a cold, calculated act that sent a message to the electorate: vote all you want, but the billionaires are in the driver's seat and they're not giving you an inch.
Not one goddamned inch. You're down in the shit, and that's where you peasants belong.
It's a shell game. It's rigged to the hilt. Both parties belong to the same billionaires, body and soul. The point is to keep the proles cheering for whichever cop is promising to save them from the other one, while both beat the shit out of you.
Funny how Americans forgot the lesson from 250 years ago. The one about the only solution for the Owner class. But then, they've been in control of the classrooms and the media for a long, long time.
Those eight are just the rotating villains of the week. This capitulation was planned and carried out by the entire DNC leadership, particularly Chuck Schumer. Schumer was in close touch with the eight throughout negotiations, and arranged the timing with them.
The Democratic Party is not on our side. No politician is going to ride in on a white horse and save us. If we want our species to survive, we're going to have to save ourselves.
Makes sense. They have plans to incarcerate upwards of one million Americans every year as slave labor, so they're going to need a lot more plantations!
That'll be quite a turnaround. We will go from seeing reality in Gaza to pure fantasy from Israel. Smiling Palestinian children (played by Israeli child actors) hugging their IDF "friends".
If it really happens? People will go hungry. Probably more so in red states than blue ones. I don't suppose we are likely to see starving people on TV; the media oligarchs wouldn't like that.
But after a few weeks of hunger we might start to see people in the streets.
My guess is they're going to be using all those detainees as slave labor. America is getting openly back into slavery on a grand scale. Long-term, I predict that the majority of the population will be slaves.
