A good result indeed. Democracy resilient, and one in the eye for Zuckerberg, Musk, and Trump, three of the world's deplorables. www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/...
They're all nonsense accusations. They must be. He's a Republican after all, and they're the morally upstanding church going family values family first woman are sacred vessels politicians. They are, aren't they?
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Wonder if Comey regrets absolutely torpedoing Hilary Clinton right before the election in 2016. That email server? What a joke compared to the shit Trump and his cronies do every day. Karmic.
The Trump administration has brought a third criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, this time accusing the longtime target of President Donald Trump of unlawfully transmitting national defense information to the press a decade ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Durban's Indian communities have a massive crack cocaine epidemic. We manage some consequence every week including the physical abuse of female staff members by their partners who are often paranoid, possessive, and aggressive. It's a devastating situation. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Ah, forced removals. Had lots of those in South Africa, communities still struggling with the scars decades later. 30 years later, Israeli apartheid continues merrily on, uninterrupted by any lessons from our past. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
"a process that has been called the enshittification of modern life, where the bottom line is the only line, where everything must be reduced to stupidity and profitable chaff." Barney Ronay getting well in batting for test cricket. With him 100%. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/o...
There is still quite a bit of the century to go before someone should make that call.
What's Donald's next award? "Better Christian Than Jesus, Donald J. Trump"? "More Handsome Than Cary Grant, Donald J. Trump"? "Most Smartest than Albert Einstein, Donald J. Trump"? "Better Golfer AND MORE HUGELY ENDOWED than Arnold Palmer, Donald J. Trump"?
It's not a democracy when one man's obscene wealth and consequential outsize influence enables him to buy an election.
NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.
Major victory for our democracy. Kudos to those who (again) dug their heels in against an attempt to hide what should never be hidden: the actions of criminals. @adriaanbasson.bsky.social 🥂 SSA capitulates: Media, civil society win access to Dlomo state capture trial www.news24.com/investigatio...

Bullshit. It will expose how much you've been stealing and how easy it's been to steal so much when "national security" is the cloak you can hide behind. Give the press access. SSA: Media access will threaten ‘national security’ in Dlomo state capture trial www.news24.com/investigatio...

Oh good. We'd love for Trump's little Iranian misadventure to become even more costly and disruptive to the rest of the world. I mean, why would we not?

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
Elon obviously not really bothered by the Epstein files.
Elon Musk is the top political donor of this midterm election, a report shows. Our reporter Theodore Schleifer explains how Musk, the world's richest man, came back from a brief rift with President Trump and Republicans to become a central player. trib.al/8zaFISN
Musk is a cruel heartless fuckwit of a human. We'd be better off without his malignant presence on this earth. Wish his Mars dream had already come true.
⚡️️️️️️️Musk suggested Trump restrict Ukraine's Starlink service, Telegraph reports. Four sources familiar with the discussion said that Elon Musk approached U.S. President Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Ukraine's Starlink service on the battlefield.
Both being habitual liars and the world's sulkiest kids, suspect it was the two of you together. Cruel heartless fuckers that you are.
Q: Was it you or was it Elon Musk who decided to temporarily pause Starlink access for the Ukrainian military? TRUMP: I don't know if it was anybody, because it wasn't me, and I don't think it was Elon

A foreign born person can't be elected US President. But they can certainly buy the Presidency, the Senate, and Congress. This is not democracy in action; this is the hijacking of America by an illegal immigrant foreign national oligarch who gives zero shits for ordinary Americans.
