They are all the same, these cocksucking fake men, these reality cunts, these Clint Eastwood pricks. Recall 25 years ago?
Tough-talking Clint Eastwood said he notched a victory for the little guy yesterday when a San Jose jury rejected a disabled woman's claim that she faced access discrimination at the actor's Carmel resort.
After only four hours deliberation, the eight-member jury agreed with Eastwood's attorney that Diane zum Brunnen, 51, had not actually tried to use the Mission Ranch resort's facilities in 1996 -- so she wasn't denied access.
However, jurors did find that the inn should provide a ramp to the registration office, a second disabled-access guest room and signs about access accommodations -- improvements Eastwood said were already in the works.
This is that fucked up faux, thespian-driven, Mississippi Goddamn Cunt-Tree:
“The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.”
“Democracy in America was never the same as Liberty in Europe. In Europe Liberty was a great life-throb. But in America Democracy was always something anti-life. The greatest democrats, like Abraham Lincoln, had always a sacrificial, self-murdering note in their voices.”
Social Security is not meant to serve as retirees' only or even primary source of income. But for many people, that ends up being the case.
Many current retirees missed the boat on savings. Without pensions to fall back on, they're very reliant on Social Security to make ends meet.
Now the good news is that Social Security is eligible for an automatic cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) each year, the purpose of which is to help beneficiaries keep up with inflation. The bad news is that 2025's COLA wasn't much to write home about. And also, it's already falling behind inflation.
This is the bad, ugly, and not good about this cunt-try-tis-of-billionaires.
The most uneducated, most unread, most shallow of them all:
And so who the fuck supports these cunts?

A prosecutor with years of experience at the U.S. Department of Justice has resigned amid major changes from the Trump administration, telling NPR,
"It just was not a Department of Justice that I any longer wanted to associate with."
President Trump speaks alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi during her swearing in ceremony at the White House on Feb. 5.
Is the Justice Department cutting breaks to people who seem loyal to Trump?
In a sharp resignation letter shared with NPR, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Murphy warned of the erosion of the Justice Department's independence from the president, writing to his coworkers, "you serve no man."

Environmental group Greenpeace must pay more than $660 million in damages for defamation and other claims brought by a pipeline company in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline’s construction in North Dakota, a jury found Wednesday.
Dallas-based Energy Transfer and subsidiary Dakota Access had accused Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc. of defamation, trespass, nuisance, civil conspiracy and other acts. Greenpeace USA was found liable for all counts, while the others were found liable for some. The damages owed will be spread out in different amounts over the three entities.
Greenpeace said earlier that a large award to the pipeline company would threaten to bankrupt the organization. Following the nine-person jury’s verdict, Greenpeace’s senior legal adviser said the group’s work “is never going to stop.”

Here at the Capitol, Salem, to protect the shit crumbs people with developmental and intellectual disabilities receive.
We went to several fucking congressmen and senators. You know, sort of meet and greet, lobby day, pusing SB 444 to be heard, at least.

Title: 1816: “The Mighty Operations of Nature”: An Environmental History of the Year Without a Summer
The catastrophic eruption of the Indonesian volcano Mt. Tambora in April 1815, which ejected a cloud of sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere, plunged the world into a rapid temporary climate change event. A series of bizarre weather anomalies, including snowstorms in June and repeated heavy frosts throughout the rest of the summer, earned 1816 the moniker “the Year Without a Summer.” This paper examines the various ways in which Americans reacted to the climate change—seeking causation explanations through science and superstition, political and religious responses, and the efforts to appreciate what the events meant in terms of the world’s changing climate. Through these various reactions, a picture emerges of Americans’ incomplete understanding of science and nature, as well as an uneasy reckoning with the impossibility of fully explaining their environment and the potential dangers it presented to them.
Michael MacCracken of the Climate Institute, in an analysis posted here for the first time, identifies dozens of scientific errors and misleading statements in a 2007 paper by Arthur B. Robinson, Noah E. Robinson, and Willie Soon entitled “Environmental Effects of Increased Carbon Dioxide” – a contrarian effort that exemplifies the sort of work that provides fodder for the global warming disinformation campaign.

Noah Robinson is a Trumper, and so are all the Oregon Republicans! This is what they-he endorses.
Entire generations of families were wiped out during deadly attacks on Tuesday, as Israel appeared to deliberately target suhoor meal during Ramadan.
“Like” doesn’t really accurately describe my response to this piece about the genocide.
Hard to continue to stomach these repeated, ongoing, murders.
It’s been along time since October 7th, 2023.

This point is crucial: The US vice president has admitted that Washington's goal is to keep formerly colonized countries in the Global South trapped at the bottom of the global value chain.
The US-led West wants to maintain a strict international division of labor, in which poor countries in the periphery produce low value-added goods (with lots of competition and therefore low profits), whereas the rich nations in the core extract exorbitant monopoly rents through their control over high value-added technologies (with little to no competition, reinforced by strict intellectual property rights).
China has tried to challenge its subservient place in the world-system, to move out of the periphery -- so the US government has responded with aggressive tariffs, sanctions, and export controls, aimed at sabotaging China's technological innovation and economic development, to keep the US at the top of the global value chain, where it can continue to extract monopoly rents.
In other words, JD/VD Vance has inadvertently acknowledged that the fundamental thesis of the dependency theorists in the 1950s and '60s was indeed correct!
Another win for dependency theory.
