The original joke that was too ridiculous to air and actually happened is an alcoholic weekend TV show host becoming defense secy and going around calling himself Secretary of War.
Or a wrestling exec becoming education secy.
Or an antivaxxer becoming health secy.
Or a washed out minor reality TV star becoming transport secy
…
You might get what you wish for. Apparently karma is catching up with her.
I think she’d also need to grab a high-voltage line a bit to get the same hairdo.
I don’t know how good of a human being Susie Wiles is. Probably not much to write home about given that she sees nothing wrong in playing a part in this fascist shitshow. But in fairness, I know nothing about her.
What I do know is that she looks furiously like a primary school teacher I had who terrorized us kids for years, and was eventually conveniently “relocated” by the school board because she didn’t in fact like children and was so damn cruel. She had such an impact on me I still remember her decades later.
And Susie Wiles gives me the creeps each time I see her face.
Sorry, I have no time for Diana right now: I’m still busy uncovering the conspiracies behind JFK and Elvis…
The billionaires are not following a nefarious master plan that they agreed upon. They appear coordinated because they all act the same way, all mindlessly following the same instinct of greed that’s programmed in their genes. Just like bees or ants appear to work as a team, when in reality they’re all following the same simplistic automatic behavior.
A lot of rich fucks are starting to feel the danger though:
Then the plebs reach for the scythes and the machetes.
That’s why the billionaires steal as much money as they can, but stop short of making a critical mass of people desperately poor: they keep most people poor enough that they try to fight for what little they have left, and between themselves for the scraps, instead of uniting and rising up against the kleptocrats who engineer their poverty.
I highly doubt Kristi Noem was hardcore MAGA before the orange utan offered her the job in exchange for blind obedience. But she certainly was the immoral politician willing to do anything for power. Just like Rubio: they’re all turncoats first and foremost.
Whether you think Bryon Noem demonstrates a character flaw and moral turpitude by marrying a power-hungry woman, and whether he should be punished for it, is up to you.
The only one who compromised Kristi Noem is Kristi Noem. If her husband puts party balloons under his shirt and it stays in their bedroom, I don’t see how that impacts the horrors she did.
I admit that I would have been willing to throw Bryon Noem under the bus to get to his wife and oust her faster, because the good of the country and the poor people she unlawfully got arrested, deported and killed outweigh the good of that one man. But now that she’s out of office, Bryon Noem should be out of the limelight.
Don’t click on that link: it’s a crass antisemitic site.
Bryon Noem’s life choices are nobody’s business: he hurts no-one and he doesn’t cost the taxpayer anything.
Unlike his bitch wife: you want to bash a Noem? Concentrate on Kristi. She’s the one who needs to pay for her crimes.
You would never have heard of her unusual husband, were it not for the very public disgrace of that terrible woman. I say give the guy a fucking break already.
Me to smart glasses owners: if you point your dystopian Facebook surveillance camera to my face, I’ll punch yours.
I think the longest internet shutdown in world history is from 13.8 billion years to 40 years ago.
I’ll have you know I enjoy my horse-piss-tasting scotch with a plate of surströmming and a side of vegemite.
To each his own.
When I was a kid, there was a cranky old guy a few fries short of a Happy Meal in the neighborhood who kept shouting at us when we played in the street under his window. We didn’t say anything for a long time, until one of us got really irritated and shouted back to tell him to fuck off. And we were all so tired of being rebuffed that we all joined in, despite being of single-digit age and clearly disrespecting an adult we had no business talking back to like that.
This is what’s happening here at states level.
Wait until you discover AI companions…
The analogy is flawed:
The car gave mere humans superhuman traveling abilities.
AI gives Big Tech unprecedented surveillance power and control over the entire society, but puts people out of work and debases everything it touches.
Cars empowered people. AI empowers corporate fascists.
