I'm starting to look forward to stopping smoking altogether shortly. More than anything it has become pointless even to my addicted mind. It used to help me wake up, or so I thought. Whether it ever did or not, it's not anymore. I'll allow another week or two of not drinking alone in my room first๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ป
Next UK G.E. is going to be interesting between some genuine Labour own goals, Know it all emotionally manipulative greens having no grasp of economics, geopolitical reality, psychopathically manipulative ToryFormed & their dark money backers & now it appears Dear Leader Corbyn is back on the scene๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: You wonโt believe what Texas Republicans just pulled โ redrawing districts mid-decade to pocket five extra House seats, pack Black and Brown voters into fewer maps, and rig the 2026 elections. This audacious power play shoves democracy right off the map.
Some like to think I'm an ignorant Tory Authoritarian when I talk about my idea to raise the legal age of adulthood for all things to a consistent 21. It's because of how my life turned out. Getting served for tobacco & alcohol in shops @ age 13. Pubs & clubs too. @ 18 I was stupider than I grasped.
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: Paul Krugman just shredded Trumpโs touted โEU victoryโ โ revealing those 15% tariffs act like a regressive sales tax, the $750 B energy and $600 B investment pledges are hollow PR stunts, and U.S. manufacturing will suffer. Is this Trumpโs biggest trade flop yet? #Hollow & #Shallow

Morning all. I'm overall better if still far from my best. I woke up a bit confused compared to usual & sweaty compared to usual, but much less so than the previous night. I think I've had a very very close shave that came close to slitting my throat, with the amount of getting hammered lately. SMDH
Just thinking how many people round the world who think they're different or even incomprehensibly opposite really have more in common than they think. What's the difference between me, a Rust Belt meth addict redneck, People who have no friends in places like London or NYC & more factors in common?
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: You wonโt believe this century-old โrule of fiveโ Senate gimmick โ five Dems could sue the DoJ, drag the fight to SCOTUS, and rip open Epsteinโs sealed files. Can a tiny clique force transparency on Trumpโs worst scandal yet? Find out.
#Gaza #Palestine #AidforGaza EVEN the Orange One has admitted there is a problem: "We can save a lot of people. I mean, some of those kids are โ thatโs real starvation stuff. I see it, and you canโt fake that." Trump www.democracynow.org/2025/7/29/an...
The US will accept literally *anything* short of a verifiable pedophile. Weโve had multiple war criminal Presidents in the last 25 years. Global dependence on the US is a glaring weakness. There can never be justice so long as a society like this holds dominance over the world.
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: Pam Bondi just derailed Trumpโs wild โhoaxโ spin โ her bombshell court filing demands Epstein grand jury records be unsealed and drops the bomb that no โclient listโ ever existed. What explosive revelations lie hidden in those files? Read on to uncover the truth.
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: Strap in for the wildest GDP plot twist yet โ Trumpโs up-and-down tariff tantrums just turned growth into a head-spinning seesaw, and Wall Streetโs left dazed by an economy that canโt make up its mind.
Who can seriously bet on our humanity while daily observing Sudan and Gaza? What kind of society encourages and rewards miscreants, liers, and treasonous people because they are wealthy? Now we can explain historic atrocities and the ascension of tyrants. Apathy of the masses.
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: You wonโt believe how the White House thinks snarling in trade wars will fund Trumpโs tax cuts โ until trillions in promised tariff cash evaporate and leave deficits soaring.
Okay. Iโm done. Iโve had it. Iโve bitten my tongue & avoided social media out of fear of reprisal. And there is cause to be afraid, the Trump Administration is sprinting towards an illiberal democracy at best, or an outright dictatorship at worst. Fuck that guy. Fuck America. This shit is fucked.
I see an evolving strategy that is gaining traction: the filing of lawsuits against those who help Trump in his illegal enterprises - disbar his lawyers, go after all those around him with fraud suits or whichever is applicable. Make it unappealing to help Trump!
๐ GOP faces criticism for confirming Trumpโs pick Joe Kent, linked to conspiracies, as counterterror chief. Senate Republicans supported him despite neo-Nazi and Jan. 6 ties. Murray warned GOP, Warner called it intelligence politicization. โ www.rawstory.com/joe-kent-267...
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: Trumpโs second-term โtrade dealsโ arenโt deals โ theyโre ultimatums. My deep dive into his trade policy reveals coercive tariffs, empty political promises, and legally toothless MOUs passed off as historic triumphs. Behind the hype lies an economic hostage-taking.
Good evening, everyone. What's on your mind tonight? I've not seen any relevant news the past couple of days that has got my attention other than the earthquake. We have a pond full of dead fish here in Arkansas, which happened at the same time. Don't know if it's related but the timing was perfect.
