Elliott Abrams is one of the premier monsters of our age; Iran-Contra, El Salvador and the Mozote Massacre, Rios Montt in Guatemala, Nicaragua, a 2002 bush era coup attempt in Venezuela, any new numbers of coup attempts since under Trump against Venezuela. A war criminal and a fiend.
You felt like you were crazy in the 2000s having to explain that these people had already racked up a long list of horrendous war crimes and were very obviously choking to do more and worse, and yet here we still are.

always a fun little trip down memory lane when i consider that i started my posting career due to forum thread of a guy reverse-scamming a scammer with a fake powerbook. and that same website, once it made me aware of The Horrors, turned me into a communist
Would you believe I started out under this handle doing Viz-style stupid comedy skits? Or that my work colleagues sometimes have to tell me to calm down the cheery vibes and optimism, because it gets annoying? Both true! But twenty years paying close attention to this stuff would blackpill Tigger.

We talked about insane scandal of privatised child social care a year ago, but (at risk of just saying the same thing until everyone's genuinely sick of it) this is all part of the ongoing Council Budget Apocalypse that no-one seems to want to engage with.

Oh no, but this is the thing the incredibly smart chancellor whomst is the grown up in the room was supposed to *avoid*! Now we have another, different black hole in the forecasts and we'll have to do this all over again in six months. Still, at least that's a sustainable way to run a country.

No alien stream tomorrow, but it will return next week!

If it makes you feel any better, some of us are going to be basking in the heat from the self inflicted labour meltdown of the last couple days for an episode.

If you want to blame someone, might as well be Starmer.
