North Korean Flag Mishap

jamesvalentine

The North Korean football team was offended in Glasgow when organisers displayed the South Korean flag by mistake when making player introductions. The organisers also failed to use the actual name of North Korea, which is Democratic Peoople's Republic of Korea. In the spirit of equality they also failed to use the actual name of South Korea, Republic of Korea. Organisers later apologised.

Egg price gouging is real

unspecified_spam

If the reason for $8 eggs in the US is bird flu, why are Mexican eggs still cheap? Does bird flu magically stop at the border crossing? If it wasn’t fraudulent traitorous price gauging then why is it illegal to bring in cheap eggs from magically-bird-flu-resistant Mexico? Every bell pepper I’ve ever bought came from Mexico. But no, the eggs there are somehow dangerous. Dangerous for corporation profit is what they mean.

Imminent economic collapse in US

unspecified_spam

The oligarchs have picked their date for the next economic depression. I am not privy to the exact date and time but within a month or two seems about right. Stocks, bonds and most everything else are shit, Bitcoin explodes in value. USD worthless. Real estate taxes are going up cause the rich-rich ain’t paying for anything and only the poor-rich pay real estate taxes.

NATO will collapse this winter

unspecified_spam

Russia is riding high on its fantastic success in Ukraine. Eating up billions from the US that could be fixing things at home. The ruble is more valuable than it has ever been. The US keeps raising the value of hydrocarbons through terrorist acts, which helps Russia more than any other country. Winter cold with no fuel will break Germany leading to a new government that pulls out of NATO followed by everyone else that doesn’t want WW3. Russia is pulling out of the Donbatz region so Ukraine has to feed and warm the people there all winter instead.

USA has all the oil it needs, why are we buying it?

creagcridhe

There was a strike of light sweet crude, the best grade of oil (better than Saudi Arabia), in the Permian Basin in Texas years ago. This strike gives the USA more oil than any other country and its the best quality oil not the crap oil that is the product of fracking. More oil was produced in the US in 2020 than we used. So why are gas prices so high? The oil corps are selling it on the market and buying worse graded oil for us to use. Just for more profit. We could have fifty cent per gallon gas just like Iran or Venezuela and big oil would still make an obscene profit. Instead they have decided to screw America over for just a little bit more. While our lawmakers do nothing but fill their pockets as well.

Social media

VividCandy

Where people yell racist insults at each other and feel good that their brand of racism is the goodthink kind of racism. At this point I believe 90% of the posters on social media are children, bots, corporate stooges, and influencers, that is, people paid to post there.

US Senate Posts a Win

unspecified_spam

With the complete incompetence of our lawmakers and indeed every elected official on display daily, we can all now breath a quiet sigh of relief that they have finally got their shit together. they have managed to sign a law into effect that does nothing concerning daylight savings time. Still have it. Nothings changed. Never mind the imminent nuclear conflict no one in America wants, never mind the crashing economy, never mind the exploding levels of violent crime and gang activity. Go after that pesky DST and do nothing about it, but do nothing about it definitively... like a boss.

Chicago Police Chief Throws Blame For Skyrocketing Murder Rates

unspecified_spam

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy appeared on a local talk show and blamed special interests and lobby groups for the skyrocketing violence on Chicago city streets. He has previously blamed Sarah Palin, and "Government sponsored racism". The actual cause is a corrupt and lackluster police presence and an ongoing gang war over territory. But blaming others is easier than making hard changes to enforce the laws already on the books.

Petraeus Finally Fired

unspecified_spam

The CIA Director holds prisoners in a high security facility in Benghazi, long after a government mandate that the CIA is not to hold foreign nationals prisoner. He then shuts down the security of the facility before removing all the prisoners. Then, he doesn't move in support to protect them when they are attacked by elements of Al Qaeda resulting in the death of an ambassador. Then he lies to the American people and Congress about why the attack happened. Not Fired. Gets caught in an affair. Fired.

Houston Cop Shoots Wheelchair Bound Double Amputee

unspecified_spam

Matthew Jacob Marin, a Houston Police officer shot and killed a one-armed, one-legged man in a wheelchair after his fellow police officer was "cornered" by the wheelchair bound double amputee. Two cops, and a man with one arm and one leg, and they can't restrain him? And what deadly weapon was the one-armed man threatening them with? A pen. Marin killed another man allegedly in the line of duty in 2009, although this man was thought to have both his arms.
