Because politicians are generally opportunists and the fascist party offers more opportunities for personal enrichment for those with no loyalty to their voters.

Also, doing it in the other direction is a surefire way to get death threats and worse…

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces

Here you go, no charge 😁

What was Arteta thinking, bringing Sterling on that early?

If not, drawing one will be the first order of business!

Being too rich to have to worry about money spares you a shitload of stress and anxiety.

As does being too amoral to worry about how your actions affect other people.

They probably don’t get ZERO stress and anxiety, but they get so little compared to regular people as well as access to top notch healthcare and the best food that it’s literally not unusual for them to live at least a decade longer as a result.

Because only the good die young:

Reagan: 93
Thatcher: 87
Pinochet: 91
Pol Pot: 91
Kissinger: 100

And, by extension, huskies. I never spot a husky without watching where it goes for at least a second or two.

Because they’re cute rather than because of yellow snow, but still!

I’m not sure the president can pardon civil infractions (AKA not actual federal crimes) and if he instead pardons any unrelated crimes, that’s a free talking point for the professional hypocrites from the American Fascist Party…

That was my first thought too, followed by “should’ve tasted diesel in stead” 😄

I’m not sure there are any humans there.

That’s because it’s a capybara community, not a human community.

Now I’ve got that great Prince song stuck in my head! Thanks, sincerely 😁

realized capital gains too (of which Buffet makes most of his spending money I’m guessing

You’d likely be wrong. Most people with significant stock holdings get their spending money from small to no interest loans with the stocks as security.

One of the many ways in which the ultra-rich can and will game the system in ways not available to regular people.

Also one of the main reasons why unrealized gains need to be taxed.

Still no notes

Actually, it was 4 casings, saying Delay, Deny, Depose, and Defend. Also, even if it wasn’t, “misinformation” is WAY too dramatic a term to use for making a common mistake about a word when that word is usually used to describe deliberately spreading disinformation.

Besides, speaking of misinformation, “the NYPD clarified” doesn’t hold a lot of weight without confirmation from a more trustworthy source.

My younger brother posted an adorable video of his cat batting at the Liverpool players during a game to FB once 😁

The Premier League lawyers had it taken down in minutes even though the video was just 20 seconds or so, nothing exiting like a goal or anything was happening in the match itself, and my brother doesn’t have a big platform or anything 🤦🤬

Same goes for the US “we don’t approve, but decorum must be upheld” Dem leadership cordially welcoming bad faith actors who aim to eliminate democracy itself.

Yes, it goes well with telling someone to check themself (for errors) before they wreck themself (with said errors) 😉

And here’s the perfect clip to celebrate the downfall of that murderous, mum-fearing asshole
