Daily Kos Cultists & the Supposed Ceasefire

 


Jeeziz-H-Fucking-Christ!  I went to DailyKos to look at the comics (as I tend to do from time to time because the only thing good at that site of hardcore Democratic Party cultists is the comics) and I saw in the right-had column a "Kossack" diary berating Trump for taking credit for the recently agreed to ceasefire that will supposedly be implemented on January 19th.  I looked for it today but couldn't find it, but another "Kossack" posted something similar so I'll link to that one.  (The one I saw yesterday included a video clip from Biden's announcement of the deal and responding to a question as to whether it was really Trump's achievement with a look of contempt and asking people around him "Is this a joke?")  

Anyways, let's see how the cult members discussed the issue.

Trump, The Proposed Ceasefire & the Coen Brothers' "Fargo"

 


According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, President-elect Trump's Mid-East Envoy called Netanyahu's people from Qatar saying he was coming over to meet with Netanyahu:

It only took a few hours and some brashness from Donald Trump to push Netanyahoo towards concessions.

Doug Ford Is A Disgusting Excuse For A Human Being

 


Doug Ford hates bike lanes.  Because he's a lazy fat fuck who can't conceive of getting out of his SUV and actually walking somewhere.  Doug Ford doesn't drink or do drugs supposedly.  I can believe it.  His addiction is cramming food into his fat mouth, only stopping doing that in order to lie to people.

Lately he's been running election ads about how he listens to people.  He doesn't.  He's a sociopathic, narcissistic, corrupt, stupid bully.  He's so brazen in his corruption that it makes normal people gag.  He's taken Ontario Place away from the people.  He's closed down the Ontario Science Center so as to give that prime real-estate to his developer buddies.

He's closing safe-injection sites because (astonishingly) he thinks addicts are scumbags.  Even though his whole family is addicted to drugs the same way that he's addicted to food.  (Even though he's a wealthy man, Ford's suits can't keep up with his enormous girth.)  He doesn't listen to the experts who would tell him that it's better to have safe injection sites rather than spending money on ambulances to run around dealing with overdoses. He's also saying "Enough is enough!" about homeless camps.  He throws billions of dollars of OUR money at corrupt oligarchs but his fat head can't process that those same wealthy scumbags are all conspiring through their various machinations to make the cost of living unaffordable for more and more people.   Furthermore, now that he's closed the safe injection sites he wants to increase the penalties for doing drugs in public.  Which is a shit-for-brains way to increase the costs of incarceration.

I can't wait for this fucking asshole to die of a heart attack.

Buy-bye to Genocide Justin

 


I had actually been prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but Justin Trudeau quickly demonstrated to me that he was an airhead.  His shameful betrayal of his promise to eliminate our archaic, disenfanchising "First-Past-the-Post" electoral system was unforgiveable.  His response to global warming was merely rhetoric.  His foreign policy was abominably stupid.  He seems to think the massive explosion of tent cities across the country is the new normal.  Obviously, the Conservatives had been worse.  The Conservatives would have been worse if they'd held power. (Especially in response to the COVID pandemic.)  And, if Canadians demonstrate their "Shit-For-Brains" powers in the next election, the Conservatives WILL be worse than the Liberals.

Trudeau has a nice pension now.  Will he go back to teaching drama classes at a highschool?  I suspect he'll write a book.  All of the people being considered for Liberal Party leader are either blood-stained or the usual corporate fuck-faces.

This Is The Sort Of Shit I'm Talking About

 

"Ahhh! NORTH KOREA!!! That tiny country across the ocean!  Maybe they'll get me!!"

I get this crap on my blogger homepage every morning almost: "A battalion of North Korean soldiers decimated on the Russian front line (Zelensky)"  So, I see the headline and I think: "So, this non-story is all based on the worthless testimony of former Ukrainian president Zelensky?  Why bother?  Why not CONFIRM whether or not Zelensky is telling the truth?"

2024 Readings and North Koreans in Russia Again

 


So, here is a link to my 2024 book depository.  It appears that Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad was the last book I completed in 2024.

The other day I found an article at AntiWar.Com from Joseph D. Terwilliger about the subject of North Korean troops in Russia.  It's mostly about the mutual assistance agreement that the DPRK signed with the RF.  But it also deals with the alleged presence of tens of thousands of North Korean troops dying in swathes as their murderous masters order them into "human wave" attacks against the stalwart lines of Ukrainian defenders.  Putin is reduced to using North Korean slaves as his own "human wave" assaults with Russian cannon-fodder has meant he is running out of men. [Or so goes the shit-for-brains narrative of stupid and/or shameless NATO propagandists.]

18% Increase in Homelessness in USA? On Jimmy Carter. And North Korean Troops in Russia Again

 

This is acutally Toronto, not the USA. Because we're suffering under a capitalist oligarchy too.

While reading today's essay from Caitlin Johnstone, I saw that she referred to a news story that I'd read about a day or two ago.  

The US empire is up to its elbows in the middle east working frenetically to manipulate what happens there, while in the United States itself homelessness has taken another record-shattering leap forward. Homelessness in the US has increased by a staggering 18 percent since last year — and last year also saw a giant spike in homelessness of 12 percent from the year before. Officially there are now around 770,000 homeless Americans, though the real number is likely several times higher.

This massive injustice is entirely by design. As the hub of a globe-spanning empire, the US needs to keep its citizenry poor, divided, distracted and powerless in order to keep them from meddling in the gears of the imperial machine. The more free time and mental spaciousness Americans have, the more they’ll awaken to how depraved their government is and how badly it’s screwing them over. The managers of the western empire naturally have a vested interest in keeping Americans poor, sick, ignorant, and propagandized. Which is why they remain so.
