    Preemptive pardons for Trump's kids and Giuliani. With a fund to pay for one.

    What a bunch of sleazeballs.

    He's raised $170 million in donations since the election. You could buy a hell of a lot of moonshine, fried chicken, and ammunition with that.

    The orange twat said he'd run again in 4 years. By then Biden will be 6 foot under or be in a maximum security twilight home dribbling his din dins down his chin and the negress would have taken over. I wouldn't put it past the Murcans to vote the imbecile back into office.

    You realise that Trump and Biden are nearly the same age?

    According to professor Peter Turchin, of Connecticut University, the total disintegration of US society is inevitable in the next 10 years. Turchin began his academic career as an eco-biologist, specialising in the study of pine beetles. About 12 years ago he switched disciplines to become a historian and social anthropologist, and when he did so he brought some of the methodology from his former field of study to his new one. In particular, the mathematisization of data analysis. Turchin collated data relating to trends in human population over centuries, to create a model which can, he says, identify and predict the behaviour of human society, in the same way biologists measure and predict the behaviour of beetle colonies.

    Turchin’s conclusions from his analysis are that American society (human, not beetle) is currently in the well advanced stages of a destructive cycle comparable to France in the late 18th and Russia in the late 19th Centuries. The existence of a bloated elite class, declining living standards of the general population, and an effectively bankrupt public exchequer, indicate two possible outcomes; either
    a) a visionary and radical government will take steps to reign in the elite, taxing them to the point where their screams will be heard around the globe, and improve living standards for the general population, or
    b) the **** will hit the fan and the established order will disintegrate at enormous social cost.
    Clue; a) isn’t going to happen. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are two figures who might have had the political will to try to make it happen, but they’re never going to get their hands anywhere near the levers of power at a Federal level.

    And besides, it’s too late. That sound you hear from Trump and his lunatic followers? That’s the sound of the ship hitting the iceberg.

    This is my own summary of an article appearing in The Atlantic magazine. You can read the full thing here...

    That’s okay then. We’ll drown on land instead of at sea.

    Only in cold water. He dropped them off in the middle of the dessert, the lousy twat. He could have dropped them off as he floated past their house. The silly old sod couldn't spell 'boat' anyway. Who else calls a boat an ark ffs.
