Border thugs discussion group

samedi 27 juillet 2019 à 02:00

US border thugs tried to cover up their secret discussion group for posting their hatred of immigrants, but the Intercept saved it and has posted about it.

The quotation, "Fuck the whole country of Honduras," is ironic because that's exactly what the US has done.

Boris Johnson, evil clown

samedi 27 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Boris Johnson, an evil clown, may now become prime minister of the UK by burying a real scandal under an assertion so unbelievable that the press got distracted by how unbelievable it was.

The assertion was also apparently calculated to disguise one of his past failures in search engines.

I didn't post any notes about the unbelievable statement, because it was not important. Additional reasons to distrust someone's word are hardly needed when that someone is a Tory.

25 year wealth gap

samedi 27 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Wealthy white males in the US today are about as healthy (on the average) as were the wealthy white males of 25 years ago, but all other demographic groups in the US have got less healthy since then.

The study doesn't show the reason for this, but the increasing expense of medical care in the US is surely part of the reason. The increasing stress of living in the US under plutocracy may be another.

The hospital that became famous for suing poor people for medical charges they can't pay has dropped some of the lawsuits. It is going to reconsider that policy.

Maybe after this public outrage the hospital will cease all such lawsuits. Or maybe it won't. If it does stop, it might start again in a year or two and hope nobody notices.

No word on whether it will rename itself as "Le Malheur".

Bully's act of terror

samedi 27 juillet 2019 à 02:00

For the bully, threatening massive deportation raids then not carrying them out added up to a successful act of terror. He used cruelty to send a message.

I did not post about this, because it is a mistake to talk about whatever the conman says. Next time he tries to terrify people with a threat, let's please not talk about it. The things has actually does cause enough harm on their own; we need not add to them by quoting his threats.

Corrupt judge Sergio Moro

samedi 27 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Brazil has thoroughly condemned corrupt judge Sergio Moro.

In the past, this sort of exposure would compel an official to resign. Nowadays, corrupt officials have discovered that trying to tough it out may succeed. What will it take to kick Moro out of office?
