It’s adorable that anyone thought we’d have a political class willing to combat pedophilia, except as a pretext to harass LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and vulnerable minorities.

Genocide

Europe/UK Politicians: “We ended a human smuggling operation. This is because we value human rights and civil liberties and rule of law”

Vietnamese trafficking victims: “So now what? Are we refugees?”

Europe/UK Politicians: “No. We hate you. We’re sending you back to your shithole county where we hope you’ll die.”

you need 2/3rds of the senate to remove him

Caeser was removed with far less

When will this idea die?

The same day “leftists never vote” does, presumably.

Stop wasting time on idiots and people happily guzzling propaganda.

Politicians chase the voters they want.

Start planning a campaign with SIMPLE SLOGANS

Wow, brilliant. Have you considered doing this for a living?

I only take issue with calling them anything other than something like crony capitalism

The fundamental difference between Chinese Socialism and American Capitalism can be summed up in their retirement rates.

In China, white collar men can retire at 63. Blue collar women are out at 55. That upwards of twelve years gap in retirement age is why China has billionaires and America has trillionaires.

If I died right now and was told I was going to be reincarnated but unfortunately I would be born poor and was given a choice of where to go, China would be near the bottom of my list of developed nations.

The real value of a civilization is its infrastructure. And you’re going to find it difficult to name a country more advanced and resilient - particularly to looming climate change.

But if you want to roll the dice on Starmer’s UK or Takaichi’s Japan or Milei’s Argentina? Good luck.

Slovenia - a Yugoslav state - was a major trading partner of the USSR. It’s economy was hollowed out, first after the decline of Russia, and then after a decade of looting, sanctions, and war.

That’s what my government tells me

It’s like when China every few years trots out some rich person or powerful politician and nails them for tax evasion or corruption in a show trial then goes back to pretending to be socialist

I think Chinese domestic economic planning goes a few steps beyond the semi-annual show trial.

Their green energy and ev markets illustrate as much

Or deep on the hook for the O&G industry.

Empty Head. No thoughts. Just here for the CSAM and frog memes.

How does a Slovenian model meet an American billionaire?

Through modeling agent Paolo Zampolli. This is well-documented.

Very likely the story of Ghislaine Maxwell, given her father’s shady history.

Epstein was far from the only flesh peddler exploiting the wave of post-Soviet refugees following western Shock Therapy in Eastern Europe. Paolo Zampolli founded the modeling agency in NYC that imported Melania and eventually introduced her to Heir Donald. He did partner with Epstein in 2004 to purchase Elite Model Management. But it could have just as easily been a thousand other creep-o finance tycoons running around NY, Paris, Berlin, or Tokyo from the 90s/00s.

The whole fucking joke of Epstein and The Files is that he gets treated as a unicorn when we’ve had Jack Abramoffs and Lawrence E. King Jrs and Deborah Jeane Palfreys and Andrew Tates for just as long.

Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east.

Sitting politicians have described it as our biggest aircraft carrier.

No no no. China is Fake News. They don’t even make cars. If they made cars, I would have seen Chinese cars driving around in America.

“China Battery!” typically trips everyone’s “Fake News! Evil Company! Communists Killed 100 Billion People!” alarm
