Nowhere to run...

Journal by fustakrakich

My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

Here's looking at you, DNC!

When is she going to announce?

    It is exactly what had to be expected from a secessionist colony, created by slavers by a vociferous lie of freedom, which originally meant freedom not to pay taxes to their feudal ruler and freedom to keep their own slaves. With economics growth fed by continuous influx of human workforce from overseas for centuries, most of which was just squeezed and destroyed in the working process. A vampire realm. A 4.27% of total world population, but sucking over 30% of planetary resources.

    Cool story bro. Wrong about slavery both then and now. And wrong about planetary resources. We're orders of magnitude shy of 30% of planetary resources.

    :-) Oh, there you go again, stooging for your masters, being wrong as usual. C'mon man, put a little life into it.

    That 30% is 30% of all human consumption of planetary resources. As a total of available resources, we haven't even reached 0.01% of that.

      Exactly. I'm not going to start pearl clutching until the Earth starts consuming a lot more than that.
