I have meandered over here from Elmo's Hellscape.
Sarcasm is my jam.
I like to use the f word a lot.
Uh... Why does this feel like a job interview?
Stop pressuring me.
See out there on the field, kids.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:

The House will be structuring the SAVE Act as an amendment to a Senate bill, so that the Senate doesn’t have to deal with a debatable motion to proceed.
But you can filibuster a motion to proceed even if it’s nondebatable, such that it becomes necessary to use cloture:
