They've successfully gotten away with grifting a ton of money off ot without being punished for it.

Successful outcomes for regular people aren't part of the criteria of these cretins.

No worries, I've done much worse before my morning coffee myself 😁

..still a bit morning brained? Dutch people are from the Netherlands, not Denmark 😄

We're called Danes here, or "Danish people" if you're not into the whole brevity thing 😁

Just a small correction: I don't know about Danish vs German owl law differences, but Tanja seems to be German, as evidenced by the .de suffix and her page being in German 😁

What's your bright spot today, buddy?

The biggest impetus behind all of this is its profitability, not any ideology.

Yes and no: to many, including most of the most powerful people in the US in particular and the world in general, "fuck everyone else, I want more money and/or power right now" IS their foundational ideology.

It's like Ayn Rand, but with less grandiose justifications and even more "might makes right" and victim blaming.

In other words, a particularly toxic mix of fascism and anarcho-capitalism.

In an attempt to argue that ICE protestors are radically out of control, the emergency appeal argues, “The federal agents’ efforts are met with prolonged, coordinated, violent resistance that threatens their lives and safety and systematically interferes with their ability to enforce federal law.” The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

The White House was caught trying to pass off footage of violence in red states as footage from the “chaos” in Chicago last week.

Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.

When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.

If you scroll to the bottom of the article, they post their sources, including studies published in peer reviewed journals. I'm sure most of us see this headline and go, "Duh," but here we have hard data. Every time our billionaire and political overlords wring their hands about birthrates, the collective response from all of us should be, "fuck you, pay me, or kick rocks."

 

Not a fan of this classic album, I guess 🤷

 

You're welcome.
