Well, “intelligence” hadn’t featured so far, so this shouldn’t be a surprise…

Because America is a disgusting excuse for a society where profits come before human life

It’s truly horrific that people die from perfectly treatable diseases

People ration insulin, for heaven’s sake…

He’s living proof that if you harm the brain, you become a conservative idiot

He’s such a fucking disappointment

Backwards idiots in a backwards part of a backwards country

On video tape…

They just want to hate the people who they fear

The nation collectively voted for the lesser evil

Italy has always been a joke, Hungary too

Greece was coming frighteningly close to nazism a few years back

Determined to keep digging deeper to plumb depths of wilful ignorance and stupidity that nobody could have imagined would happen by design

I’m so glad I don’t live in 'Murica

I hope not

As with all war, the most vulnerable will be hit hardest

He doesn’t need to be there in person to tug on Trump’s strings

He can puppeteer him remotely now that he has done the fundamental damage

America, you guys are so fucked

I don’t know how this shit will end, but I can’t see anything other than it getting a whole lot worse in the immediate future, and probably for a generation
