    Maybe I’ve read dumber headlines at some point, but at this moment, I feel like shit, the world feels like shit, I still haven’t had any coffee, and I had scrolled past the headlines below before even coming across this one on APs front page.

    I didn’t even really consciously put the absolute ridiculousness of ALL of these things happening at once together until afterwards, but I guess on some level I intuitively knew because I immediately groaned in disgust and said out loud “this is the dumbest fucking sentence I’ve ever had to read.”

      I saw yesterday that Rubio warned Iran against killing any protestors.

      I just… How does the irony not kill them? How do these people remember to keep breathing?

        Oh, it’s easy, they’re psychotic predators who have no empathy.

        That’s why it’s so easy for them to lie, and it’s why they were selected by the billionaires who hired them to hammer in the final nail in democracy’s coffin. They feel no guilt. There’s nothing going on behind their vacant eyes except how do I make the people that pay me the real money, (not the tax payer dollars that pay their six figure salaries, that’s pocket change by comparison.) happy.

        The author of Friendly Fascism predicted this and tried to warn us over 40 years ago, but nobody really paid attention.
