LOL
Very on-brand.
There was a time when Slovenia was trying to claim itself to be a socially liberal, moderately welfare-rich middle-class bourgeois Central European country, but rather quickly regressed into a hysterically anti-socialist former-Eastern bloc paranoia mode with extremely bad taste in everything.
Hungary's Orban has more class than this silly tiny-country narcissist. This fool mentioned "tragic personal life." He ought to hope that his country is so tiny and insignificant that Biden won't notice his stupid ego trip. That old man is no gentle Irish Catholic grandpa; He can be very, very angry at you for real. I've felt a bit of the fire up close.
This stupid tweet has all the ingredients to offend Biden, or any American with a background similar to his. Such a typical European fool who has no idea about America yet stupidly tries to play with fire.
I'll listen to some Leibach now.

She's lost it, hasn't she?
Saying the same shit over and over again, feebly appealing to people, with no sense of conviction or strong will to persuade anyone whatsoever.
What a contrast it is to her image back in April.
This is absolutely ineffective. This feeble appeal does absolutely nothing to change anything for the better. But I guess that's all she can do at this point. The German political system is fragmented now. Merkel can't lead.

For the n-th time:
Sweden and Japan are both export-oriented economies that didn't do any lockdown or implement Korean-style measures (unconstitutional in Japan). Sweden's Covid-19 policy was certainly lighter than Japan's, with fewer restrictions on businesses and schools (below high school age), but compared to most other countries, they are roughly comparable.
And:
1. Both ended up losing roughly the same amount of economic output per capita.
2. Sweden has lost more than 45 times as many people per capita as Japan.
These are the facts. Think of the trade-offs there. Now you can analyze the reasons on your own.
Also, compared to the US, Sweden has done only slightly better economically, and only slightly better in terms of fatality rates.
If you think that slight advantage is something which you must drastically change your strategy and aim instead for, well, good luck.

I'm insanely familiar with every tiny detail of Times Square due to the work that I did, and these billboards are not placed at a very eye-catching spot. If Kushner and Ivanka weren't as thin-skinned as they are, most people walking by wouldn't have noticed them. But now they will certainly look, lol.  |

I'm afraid that the next Covid-19 bomb is going to explode in the US in a month or so if we continue to do nothing. It's going to be a fucking huge explosion. It's been building up for weeks, and looking for the loose valve.
Many states/counties are already experiencing a shortage of hospital/ICU beds, but that's just the beginning.

Meanwhile, Trump is accusing American doctors and nurses and all the other health workers of inflating Covid-19 numbers so that their hospitals can get more funding.
If you have to actually google it to see if that's true or false, you're an idiot. Of course it's fucking BS.
The damage that this compulsive liar has inflicted on the world pales in comparison to some other past presidents', but other than that, in terms of being absolutely grotesque scum of the earth, as an individual, there are very, very few competitions among the past presidents. He might indeed be the worst.
It doesn't really matter, though. Vote. We'll have to correct the mistake that was made.

Yes, Biden hates Boris Johnson. To him there's very little difference between him and Trump. I think there's a big difference, but he doesn't. That's a fact.
Want a trade deal with his America? Sure, but 100% on America's terms.
If you are concerned about the UK's geopolitical standing and economic situation, you should pray for a Trump win, or have Johnson hung from a lamp post.

The White House should put up a white flag instead of the stars and stripes.
This is happening everywhere.

Look, I know what that fool and his minions have been doing all these months. The Repub ops that I personally know have been telegraphing it all along. Well, not just telegraphing, but also saying to me outright that they were banking on the vaccine to be rolled out and widely distributed already in October. That's what one guy told me back in June that he expected to happen.
Stupid, stupid assumption, but those people are extremely stupid. They thought they would be able to bend the rules and arm-wrestle the agencies and departments even if things weren't going well enough.
They certainly tried, to no avail. You know why? Because - like I said many times - you can only disrespect reality so much.
You can't just simply ignore gravity. You can't make electromagnetic force illegal.
You can't bullshit your way out of hard reality.
They only cared about the vaccines and "therapeutics" and "killer treatment" and whatnot. That's why that's pretty much all Meadows talks about in the clip below, and in fact all Trump liked to talk about since Day One.
They didn't give a shit about anything else. They made the calculation a long, long time ago that fewer than 500k deaths would be acceptable collateral damage. Everything makes sense if you understand that.
They weren't fighting the viruses; They were fighting time.
And they've lost to it too. It's hard to calculate how many excess deaths that "strategy" has caused, but the answer should be: TONS.
Just Vote. The. Failure. Out.

If you're American and concerned about how you should do Thankgiving this year, just ask Jews.
They managed to do Online Seder without a problem.

As I've been saying for months now, Trump isn't going to win. But vote if you're American, even if you don't live in a battleground state (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and I'd add Iowa, Georgia, Ohio, and Texas(!)).
Because that man must lose big. It's got to be a Texas Chainsaw Massacre to send the message to the Freak Swamp. Drain the swamp, indeed.

I can't emphasize enough that if you poke Hunter Biden a lot more rigorously and persistently, you'd find a lot worse shit than stupid sex tapes and mini-corruption.
I won't repeat any of it now, but some of you remember my rants on Ukraine back in the days. I think I even mentioned Hunter as a major player.
Republicans are surprisingly bad at this. Hunter is indeed THE Achilles heel of Joe Biden, the idiot son problem. And Joe himself was deeply involved in that awful Ukraine shit show/disingenuous confrontation theater against Russia that ended up impoverishing most ordinary Ukrainians to an astonishing degree.
People absolutely overrate those right-wing fools because of 2016. Clinton was an extraordinary candidate who was extraordinarily vulnerable, extraordinarily hated by too many people to begin with (largely unfairly, mind you), and extraordinarily easy for anyone with a human brain to attack.
But Joe Biden isn't a Hillary Clinton, and you'd have to be actually good at this stuff to inflict real damage on him.
Those Republicans/Trumpians really, really suck at this.

Speaking of Ukraine, and Russia, just look at the plight of Armenia now against Azerbaijan.
That's what you get when you have Russia as your biggest "friend".
Russia has a long, long history of betraying her friends. It's the consistent pattern throughout history.
It's ironic because Russians, as individuals, tend to value friendship more than anything else.
It's not Armenia's fault, though. It's the same old shit that resource-rich countries are always supported by big players, and Armenia had no other direction to go than Russia-wards.

Australians - I mean, Melburnians and people in Vitoria specifically - are just extraordinary.
I made fun of them for their panic-buying and hoarding earlier in the pandemic, but it's incredible that they endured such a strict lockdown for so long when the fatalities and hospitalizations were merely a fraction of those in Europe and the Americas.
Panic-buying and hoarding are usually clear signs of selfishness.
You really shouldn't judge people hastily.
History will judge whether it was the right decision or not (I'd say it probably was), but a round of applause for our friends down under.
