Errrr...



I had completely missed the news of this shooting, went to look it up and there were 3 (!) on the same day? It doesn't even seem to be news anymore. Just the cost of living in the free world I guess.

But shooting innocent people is absolutely fine apparently. That's all you need to know about a certain demographic in the US (and here if were honest except they are less likely to own firearms).

This is hilarious: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-63754702

Kanye West running for President again, presumably so he can feel aggrieved at the secret cabals who will stop him from his inevitable victory. Doubt he'll even make enough of a dent to split the vote in a worthwhile manner anywhere, so not really important or newsworthy.

What was important was that he went to Donald Trump at Mar a Lago, in person, to genuinely ask Trump to be his running mate, at which point Trump apparently lost the plot and started screaming at him, saying that he was going to bury him and he didn't stand a chance. It just tickles me greatly to think of a meeting of two such fragile egos, occupying two completely different realities while still being nowhere near the actual reality.

It's a shame they can't be the ones to meet each other in the ultimate face-off to be honest. It's no less than America deserves.

Kanye seems to be genuinely ill. Trump is just an egotistic narcissist (does that qualify as an illness?).

Personality disorders are mental illnesses, so I believe so.

Too many guns and too many cunts. The first part of that statement is the one that can be dealt with proactively.

On a slightly related note, there is finally some bright light being shined on police militia units after the killing of Tyre Nichols. This is what defund the police means. More public service, less Black Hawk down units. Still, just a few bad apples aye....

Jesus Christ. What a fucking predictable mess.

I’ve been desperately trying to ignore the existence of America for the last few months, for the sake of my mental health, but accidentally clicked on this and couldn’t look away.



It’s just so fucking sad the grip the military ideals and individualist mentality has on people. Not that that’s exclusive to America by any means, but the combination of this and being the self proclaimed “leaders of the free world” etc. I just can’t stomach it.

I can't watch it mate. That pious religious erotic autoasphyxiation and military cosplay pantomime. It's pathetic and an almost evolutionary dead end. It is simply not viable to be that much of a selfish ignorant cunt.

It's just pathetic. Adults wasting taxpayers time over this horse shit. Fucking sick and tired of career bigots fucking up society. This shit is being exported across the globe and its high fucking time the US cleaned up their cunting mess.

It's like Trump opened a door and now there's no restraint at all. If they can get away with it they'll do it.

Away with ye. It’s nothing another few years of aged, deluded milquetoast neo-libs in opposition won’t solve.

Yeah, I was being pessimistic - the Dems have got it all under control, no doubt about it.

That must be some behind the mason dixon state-level law that allows immediate charges of domestic terrorism while Whitey on the Moon doesn't get the same treatment for storming the capitol. 'Spose the cops need somewhere to practice driving tanks and shooting automatic weapons.

Cop City, fuck you.
