    I want to laugh but this hurts so many people in those unions who didn’t fall for this very obvious scam. And the morons at the top who are now lamenting it won’t have a second of self reflection, either. Fuckin miserable!

      I’m laughing because I’ve done my part. I have told everyone who would listen that the orange turd was an orange turd and like Cassandra they wouldn’t listen to me.

      I’ve got a big spoon and a great big empty bowl of schaudenfreude to fill, and I intend to gorge myself.

      Stupid fucks get what they deserve and if the world goes down in flames it’s on the rich to fix it.

        The rich are all greedy sociopaths. Destroying the world is part of the plan because they don’t want anyone else to have what they have.

      Laughter is a way to deal with horrible circumstances and not lose your sanity. Laugh if you can.

    Apologies, we have to interrupt the channel as the leopards have been sent off to the hospital due to severe cases over overeating.

    I mean, they did this on Family Guy.

    Carter pretended to be a working everyman

    For fuck sake, people, this was a bit on a popular cartoon show, it was spelt out for you clear as day in a cartoon.

    And you still fell for it.

    Every good dictator knows, those who get you in power don’t keep you in power. So trick them into getting you into power so you can help the powerful to keep their power and keep you in power.

      The common denominator for these people seems to be “it’ll happen to the others, but not to me”. It’s like there is something fundamentally twisted about their relation to alterity -that is, the others, anything that’s outside of them. A lack of empathy, mirror neurons, some developmental issue ?

        Their primary desire is to hurt others. Because of this they support those who will hurt people. They are just too stupid to comprehend that the people who get hurt usually includes them.
