ASSHOLES, BASTARDS & CRIMINALS

ERIC ZUESSE—Billionaires (and the ultra rich everywhere) believe themselves to be one of the word’s BEST people; they believe that a person’s wealth MEASURES how much that person is contributing to the world. This means that they are better than other people because they are wealthier than other people. So, it is ‘right’ that they hire and fire billions of people — they are ‘superior’ to other people, as they tend to view things.

This means that they don’t believe in each person having the same rights as everyone else does; they believe that it’s good that in a capitalist economy a person’s rights depend upon that individual’s wealth — the more wealth that a person has, the more rights that person has ‘earned’. Rights are to be earned — NOT otherwise. And, so, it is good, not bad, that WE — the ‘best’ people — control the Government for ALL people.

DD—Polling data indicates that a large majority of Jewish Israelis endorse extreme measures such as the expulsion of Palestinians and even mass killings reminiscent of the biblical conquest of Jericho. This level of popular support for ethnic cleansing policies is rarely acknowledged in mainstream discourse, highlighting a severe humanitarian crisis and the normalization of extremist views.

J. YERUSHALMY—Over the months of his administration, the number of gold trophies and vases littered across the mantlepiece has multiplied, and there are now even gold coasters with Trump’s name on them.

A White House spokesperson told Fox News that the gold – “of the highest quality” – was all paid for by Trump personally. The president has also multiplied the number of paintings on display, with almost 20 images of presidential predecessors adorning the walls. His predecessor, Joe Biden, had just six paintings on the walls. Barack Obama had pictures of just two former presidents.

KARLA SANCHEZ—There’s a great deal of “fog” surrounding Iran, but it’s absolutely 100% clear the Empire helped plan and execute the attacks and of course supplied the means. Iran has directly accused the Outlaw US Empire of those doings and holds Trump personally accountable for the war, an assessment I agree with. IMO, for the moment all diplomacy is now dead in West Asia. The Zionists and the Outlaw US Empire are now the equivalent of Hitler’s Germany in their violation of International Law and are subject to the same consequences.

PAUL EDWARDS—We have come to a point in our broken and decayed polity at which, in the confused and furious hopelessness of our people, we have vested our futures in a ludicrous caricature of a leader.

One must not misconstrue this designation because, almost to a man, our Presidents have been caricatures.  Trump is not an aberration; he’s a continuation.  The Empire has appointed a long succession of grossly psychopathic men as Presidents to front for its real government: the rapacious Capitalist Machine.
