It was during Kelly’s second term that the NYPD became the largest police force in the world and eclipsed entire militaries of several countries. There’s a 60 Minutes episode on this that came out during Occupy Wall Street in 2011.

For those who don’t know what I’m referring to it’s commissioner Kelly. Under Kelly’s second term as commissioner the NYPD became an international operation, with NYPD even in Afghanistan. Corruption within skyrocketed along with excessive force cases.

Exactly. The White House is already prestigious in its purpose alone but it also is a 55,000 sq ft Georgian-Palladium mansion with 20 foot ceilings and chandeliers. It didn’t need gold spray painted foam filigree super glued on everywhere to make it fancy. That made it trashy, not classy.

Even if it were super fancy you might not want the white house to look like a restaurant. Or of course a weird demented Saddam Hussein version of said restaurant. because it is not a restaurant and different decor is considered appropriate or not for different types of places.

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

I think it should be law that a pardon cannot be given unless it clearly states to the public what the recipient needs the pardon to pardon. That they must admit to the offense publicly before receiving the pardon. Make it a whole event, dragged out on a stage and all.

You almost have to admire his commitment to The Bit of Being Armond White. “Holmes and Evans are no different from miscreants of the various Housewives series” made me laugh too.

thinking about how i wasted all this money on clothes when i could have invested this money in an index fund and eventually bought a senator like elon musk

There is one trillionaire, however, that happens to be an immigrant and the one that actually is a huge problem for everyone. But it’s still not because Musk is an immigrant that he’s a problem. It’s because he’s a trillionaire.

I thought that was Australia for a moment but Colin from Portsmouth is UK. So it is the UK and the US but also everywhere else that the ultra rich are constantly pushing propaganda out to blame immigrants for everything instead of them. And never the one immigrant that’s also disgustingly rich.

Why does it matter? The clip is about the UK uprisings focused on immigrants as the problem rather than the rich. Musk isn’t their immigrant but he’s their problem. And Musk is one of the loudest voices feeding this propaganda that blames immigrants instead of the greedy rich people for all ills.

It’s really void of attention to irony and hypocrisy. Musk, both the rich monster and the immigrant and the one that’s a very real problem for the UK and he’s not even one of their immigrants. He’s pulling the strings from Yankee land.

And how does this tie into unrest in the UK? Musk is behind that unrest. Catering to it, feeding it, funding it, allowing it to fester on his social media site, allowing them to make plans on it, instigating the violence. He’s both a nightmare for the US and the UK. The world’s worst rich man.

If Musk were hiding in an attic from ICE we’d be trying to get food to him and his eleventy billion children. But the reality is Musk is busy funneling half a billion dollars into election campaigns for the people sending the monsters to search for immigrants in attics.
