I’ve just spent some time in Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis. Beautiful town in a beautiful setting and easily the most commercially exploitative place trading on a revered religious figure I’ve see. St Francis gave up his worldly possessions, he did not try to sell kitchen magnets or tee shirts

“Credibility “?
So the DSA wants Democrats to lose, but their candidates are running on the Democratic ticket, and they want us to help their candidates win.
Do you see how crazy this is?

There's a famous story about Joe Stalin making a speech in 1937. When he was done, the audience began clapping wildly but then everyone was afraid to stop. They kept going for 11 minutes. Finally one guy had enough and stopped, and then everyone else could too.
That guy was imprisoned for 10 years.

cult shit at the White House as Trump's cronies give him a standing ovation for minutes on end. Note how nobody wants to be the first to stop clapping.

Damnatio memoriae is a Latin phrase meaning “condemnation of memory." It refers to the ancient Roman practice of officially erasing a disgraced person from history. The destruction of their statues, the chiseling of their names from public monuments, and the nullification of their decrees.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

The quick and precise analysis of Donald Trump Jrs “Enhanced Games” which just took place in Las Vegas. “CEO Maximillion Martin said the event is “here to stay,” making The Enhanced Games the herpes of the sports world. We’ll see an occasional unwelcome flare-up, and be happy when it’s gone”.

The constant pimping of betting apps during sporting events is really disturbing. Take the PGA as a case in point. A ban on gambling advertising should be considered. Then again when most jobs dry up due to AI at least people will have something to do.

Iran has since said it would prefer not to deal with the Kushner or Witkoff, as regime officials said they viewed negotiations with them as a front by the Trump administration to trick Iran into thinking they were negotiating in good faith, when the U.S. really just wanted to launch an attack.
