And advertisers pull out.

 

We let algorithms dictate everything and no one even began to think about the consequences of that. It makes me angry on a level I can’t articulate.

 

Shut up nerd I'm dunking your head in the toilet

 

Jacob Wohl isn't human. He's water and the mold on sidewalk dogshit.

 

More proof that little fuck has never stepped foot in a single "hipster coffee shop."

 

Probably refers to them as jazz cigarettes

 

All right wing men have a really creepy infatuation with her.

 

The four year plan in Texas:
Beto runs for senate in 2020 and takes out Cornyn
Julian Castro runs for governor in 2022 and wins
Juaquin Castro takes out Ted Cruz in 2024

Beto&Bros run purple Texas LETS DO THIS

 

David is rock hard right now

 

lol I got inspired by a live tweet of a Q&A session Castro hosted in Iowa just now. He kowtowed a bit to the ethanol crowd but otherwise had some pretty decent answers/things to say.

I think at this point he's firmly in my #3 choice slot. Though I guess if I'm including him I gotta include Booch too, who I probably like more at this point.

 

Aren’t opioids as well then?

 

Love to voluntarily give my personal information and location to FBI at all times

Plan emerges for a ‘radical solution’ to lower rising rents in Berlin

 

Netanyahu now endorses Jewish fascism. U.S. Jews, cut your ties with him now | Opinion

Weird link but I think it gets around paywall. Anyway:

Netanyahu has been working hard in the last few weeks to help create a coalition between Jewish Home, the latest incarnation of the Mafdal, a venerable religious Zionist party, and a party called Otzma Yehudit, which could be called the Jewish National Front, a radical far right party whose members, like its former leader, Baruch Marzel, were followers of Meir Kahane’s Kach Party. Baruch Goldstein, who massacred 24 Palestinians at prayer in Hebron in 1994, was a Kach member at that time.

Just over a week later, his efforts proved successful. The Jewish Home and Otzma Yehudit agreed to run together in Israel's upcoming elections in exchange for Netanyahu promising Jewish Home two ministerial positions in the next government and a slot on the Likud party list.

This may seem like a political puppet show, or familiar political horse-trading. But it isn't.

It shows how far to the right the Israeli right has gone.

Betzalel Smotrich, an MK for Jewish Home who famously organized the "Beast Parade" as protest to the Pride Parade in Jerusalem and has declared his support for segregating Jews and Arabs, not only in settlements, but also in hospitals, tweeting, "It is natural that my wife would not want to lay down next to someone who just gave birth to a baby that might want to murder her baby in another 20 years," could be the post-election minister of education.

Moti Yogev, another Jewish Home MK, said that Israel's Supreme Court should be razed with a bulldozer. And now, Jewish Home has merged with Otzma Yehudit - who are even more extreme.

Yes, there have always been extremist elements in the Israeli political sphere, but they have always been outcasts. When Meir Kahane got elected, MP tried to impeach him, and when he spoke at the Knesset, MKs would leave the plenum in protest.

These days, Netanyahu isn’t only failing to condemn right-wing extremism; he is working to strengthen it, to endorse it taking its place in the halls of the Knesset, to let its members incite there. Netanyahu is effectively providing the most violent elements in the Israeli society political immunity.

It’s not that the extreme, religious right has gotten closer to Netanyahu, but Netanyahu has become the face of the extreme right. Netanyahu likes to be compared to Churchill, but a comparison to an early Slobodan Milosevic is more appropriate.

 

Amazing

 

Remember kids its okay to try and cheat to win elections, because if you get caught all that'll happen is you'll just be given a second change to win legit!
