"Scotland was simply too small, too poor, and too stupid to be its own nation, and the English graciously stepped in to remove the burden of self-governance from them" is obviously pro-imperial kayfabe, and you should be embarrassed that you didn't recognise it as such

How did we end up with Trump? (My mom was addicted to Liberace & had 0 clue. Kayfabe nation.)

Liberace (1919 – 1987) gives Cher (in costume as “Laverne LaShinsky”) a tour of his Hollywood Hills mansion during an episode of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸, 1974
1974 photo of entertainers Liberace and Cher during a visit to Liberace's Hollywood Hills mansion, as featured on an episode of "The Sonny and Cher Show” TV variety series. Liberace, known as "Mr. Showmanship," was a flamboyant American pianist and entertainer famous for his lavish costumes, including the sequined piano keyboard jacket he is wearing in the photo. His carefully coiffed hairdo is dyed a deep, dark blue. Cher, a renowned American singer and actress, is seen here in her colorfully electric "Laverne LaShinsky" character costume from "The Sonny and Cher Show.” Her outfit includes a leopard patterned sleeveless dress, pink, horn-rimmed eyeglasses, a chartreuse cape, a large, red and pink-beaded bracelet and a curly, bright orange wig with a pink and chartreuse silk bow. Her nails are painted purple, and she has her fingers splayed across Liberace's chest, as if she's “playing" the glittering, sequined piano keyboard on his lapel.

i never imagined KAYFABE would be weaponized to the point of endangering the entire world order and democratic order of our nation... it's fucking crazy...

of course they knew this technicality would render the concession DOA, just like they know it was just political theater for Cornyn/Tillis

Punk's ethics are kayfabe. He's already gone to Saudi Arabia, taken their blood money, and apologized to the nation. He will do the same for Trump if the price is right.

Everybody here knows that the CEO of the company that owns UFC is Rahm Emmanuel’s brother, right? And their dad was in the Irgun? And their other brother is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress? Kayfabe nation

I'm just an ape, not a coastal elite, & I think bloodsport on the WH lawn, preceded by whatever this is, preceded further by last night's weigh in slash kayfabe shit talk sesh at the Lincoln Memorial, is wholly white trailer park trash unbecoming the rich history of the nation ostensibly celebrated.

It's all kayfabe because the international treaties are set up by Western nation states like the UK, to benefit themselves. The UK has a considerable influence in how things are.

They've always been stealing from us. The one and only difference is that right now they don't feel the need to maintain kayfabe and they are correct. There is no need.

Americans love being stolen from. A nation of paypigs. They love the taste of the boot. They yearn for the hand in their pocket.

One nation under which God? Donald Trump's Rededicate 250 is all religious kayfabe. baptistnews.com/article/one-...
One nation under which God? – Baptist News Global
On May 17, Donald Trump plans to “rededicate” America as one nation under God but you can't rededicate what wasn't dedicated.

The theory of the job was that the president would be above politics, untied to any faction, and solely concerned with the good of the nation. That never worked, not even for George Washington. In the age of Trump, we can't afford to keep fighting to maintain that enlightenment kayfabe.

They are not thinking about "kayfabe" and "TACO", they are thinking "America is a perfidious nation that keeps killing our negotiators and must be brought to an agreement by force."
