  • If anything he was “rescued”, or “promoted to headquarters” if you will. Because he was too good a man for these times ahead, and sadly had been getting weaker for a while. And the world is morally poorer for his departure.

    I don’t view the Vatican as the shining beacon of light it wants to be, but Pope Francis was a great Pope, who more than talking, walked the walk and lead by example. Loved by catholics and even people of other religions, as well as many atheists/agnostics. A unifying force of good.

    Yet before he went he made sure his last big act was to admonish Vance and the Trump administration. Good on him.




  • When Mr. Garcia gets back to the US take his family and put them in safety in another country - Canada, Europe, so long as they’re far from El Salvador or Trump. Political asylum anywhere safe, since he can be considered now a person of interest to those wanting to upkeep democracy, and a danger to those undermining it.

    I’m sure there’s plenty of people sympathetic to this cause and wanting Mr. Garcia to be able to freely speak without fear about what he’s endured.

    As soon as he’s back in the US he’ll have a big red bullseye on his back, guaranteed.



  • Bro really thought, after everyone else involved since 2014, he could just get in the room and say:

    • "Hey, c’mon. Let’s just stop this. Killing is bad, peace is good. I also want Ukraine to give up all the taken territory and I want 50% of Ukraine’s minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing.

    • “And then everyone clapped, and the war ended for good, just like that, with everyone happy. Zelensky hugged Putin, both kissed Trump’s ring, and they shared some champagne overlooking the beautiful US Gaza Trumpland sunset, surrounded by AI bearded ladies”.

    • The End.

    Children raised on silver spoons often expect others to simply obey them, no questions asked.

    Slow clap. He really managed to come in when Ukraine had the upper hand with allied help, weakened their efforts by humiliating, extorting and cutting off aid and intel, as well as making them lose their bargaining chip in Kursk, and now they just say “this is too much after all” and bail out.

    Just to show up again at the end to claim victory after Europe and any other allies have seen this through. Mark my words.




  • Heard of the whistleblower related to DOGE who claims the tech group hired by Musk had already tried to breach government for years or so?

    And how with each DOGE visit to a given department it always followed tactics of distraction and getting stored data, then suddenly leaving?

    And how there’s suddenly many breach attempts by suspicious hackers linked to Russia right after DOGE visits?

    Or how the biggest culprit of government bloating by hecking far, the Department of Defense, same department who has failed several audits, was never a target of DOGE?

    Hm… Not suspicious at all. Sadly I can’t recall the source, but I think it was on YouTube.



  • Make no mistake. Last time Trump got legitimately “thrown out of his palace” he called upon an army of insurrectionists to storm the capitol.

    Now he’s back in there, surrounded by yes-men, and his insurrectionist army is pardoned and with boosted confidence that they can spread chaos without consequences. And by being POTUS many of his armed forces supporters have the “following orders” and “his elected authority” excuse to side with him against the remaining government branches and the people - even if their oath is to the constitution.

    Whatever enforcement entity SCOTUS can get to impose actual consequences to this administration’s wrongdoing on April 23rd, if it comes to it, Trump won’t take it lying down. That’s a guarantee with these savages.


  • There shouldn’t be Luigis in the world. Not because what he did is wrong, but because there shouldn’t even be a reason to do it in the first place.

    I want a truly peaceful and equal world. But when we live in a world of “rules for thee but not for me” and where the elite is allowed to profit from the misery of the people, there might as well be no rules at all - we might as well live in chaos and anarchy.

    That’s what happens when in the same week you have someone shooting a CEO for preying on thousands of lives, and someone lighting other person on fire in the subway, in the same city, and yet justice application is very different for either case.

    Because if one of us isn’t equal, no one is. Luigi is just a natural balancing consequence to the abuse of the elite - and try as they may to make an example out of him, the more they do it the more people will be driven to sheer despair and insanity, having nothing else to lose.

    I don’t mind losing. So long as they don’t win and get away with it either. I might not get the world I long for, because sadly humanity has quite a few bad apples, but I won’t stand idly by while said bad apples get to live happily ever after in their debauchery at the cost of our lives either.




  • Yup. Peaceful protests only work when the tyrant actually cares about the opinion of the protesters and may want to go out with even a shred of dignity.

    That doesn’t work for self-absorbed scum who believes they’re above everyone else and thinks they can win by bulldozing the opposition - appealing to the good will of a sociopath won’t save you, because there’s none there.

    He’s calling the people’s bluff, and he damn well knows the people don’t want to get their hands dirty.

    All the defense of school shootings for what? For a second amendment that isn’t even used in the only situation in history where it would be justified? All talk, no action. And Trump is exploiting it big time.

    Europe accepts its sons and daughters of long ago. Specially the talented ones who contributed to empowering science in the US.

    Not the Drumpf family, tho. Those can stay there instead of returning to their roots in Germany. The last thing we want is a “Make Germany Great Again” movement - they’re already great right now, no need to fix what’s not broken, thank you.
