Deranged Democrats claim China WON’T stop all ice hockey in Canada and cancel the Stanley Cup!

That just isn’t true!
Why won’t they take the phones away from their demented leaders before they cause another international embarrassment?

Deranged Democrats baselessly accuse renowned Good Guy Howy Lutnick of visiting Epstein’s island, which he has since admitted.

That just isn’t true.
Lutty barely had anything to do with that person, okay?

Deranged Democrats baselessly accuse ICE of filling a nurse full of holes.

That just isn’t true.
The nurse had ALWAYS HAD at least 8 holes, since birth!

Those ancient aliens must have been mighty impressed by the ancient Egyptians. I bet they were like, hey we were going to help you build all these pyramids and monuments but looks like you dudes and dudettes have this all under control, carry on.

Libertarian leadership abandons their own candidate for Trump Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver has been subject to attacks from right-wing factions of the party as they push for a Trump victory.

These folks really tried to warn us about the guy their largest organization endorsed?

A billionaire-captured β€œLabour” Party (since Blair, who is now working for Ellison) was always destined to fail.

One might say designed to fail.

Which may help explain why it so embraced by those on the authoritarian right, who devalue human life as a matter of course. But do they realize the catastrophic economic outcome? Maybe, if they picture themselves coming out on top.

In other words AI might be a perfect storm to suck the life out of the economy, especially service-heavy economies such as the USA. Meanwhile, in less directly economic terms, it sucks the β€œlife” from our human experience by devaluing our skills and efforts.

What if AI isn’t a bubble that can burst, as much as a black hole? It destroys the value invested into it due to the profit vs cost not resolving, but meanwhile sucks away the value of all other formerly profitable services (and thus employment, wages & economic benefit) that it is β€œreplacing”?

Can Greens pick up enough momentum to fend off the reactionary right? They’ll need to effectively communicate the truth that both Labour and Reform are billionaire-captured parties.

IDEA: corporations must pay additional taxes equal to (or some multiple of) what they spend on political lobbying.

At least until a proper overhaul of tax law and evasion laws.
