Don’t know why but when I saw this I thought American politics

Maaa! Frankie gave me another swirly!

The world is burning and this dufus thinks it’s important that we dress up to be stuffed into cattle class.

For anyone who really knows academia, this is fucking classic. “Morals you say? Well he’ll still have good thoughts.”

This is what’s wrong with universities.

Goddamn idiots with a PhD

Blatant corruption right under the noses of Americans who get poorer each and every day. Selling F35s to a country that launched 9/11 and slaughtered a WaPo journalist?

Soon America’s value will be zero in the eyes of every person on earth. Shameful

I don’t know why this is news. An actor has skills to be an actor. Expecting them to have wisdom is foolish

Seems like a good idea. Thank Dog for the Block button

Just how fundamentally out of touch do you have to be to order staff who for 4 years managed to work effectively from home back to the office 5 days a week. He sounds like a Republican. A dumb one.

The part that gets me is the absolute hubris of this tiny majority believing they who represent a mere 15% of their party are right while 85% are wrong. In the face of a party that is nearly 100% united? When 7 million took to the streets in protest he still believes he know better!

Amazing

The Australian conservatives, gotta admire their ability to render themselves obsolete.

Dollars to donuts they’ll blame the female leader when it blows up in their faces.

Why can’t they NYTimes find another ism to crack on about for a change? Why not have a crack at racism or despotism? No country gets a ‘free pass’ from criticism.

NYTimes continues to publish articles that are as out of touch as Schumer is.

Well done Chuck. A masterclass in party leadership

Fat chance British laws are not the same as US laws. All he’s doing is supporting the radical right wing’s assault on news media.

We did this in Brisbane Australia last year and people loved it. Got killed by conservatives this year.

Its funny where your mind goes at night as you’re waited for your sleeping pills to kick in. Thank god for the internet!!

Finally! Something in the New York Times I can agree with.

Why is there not a retirement age for politicians?

Elect me President and I’ll tax his entire fortune at 80% and fund healthcare immediately. He’d still have $200 billion so I’m sure he’d be fine.

This is just one more pointless hateful act from a government and court that is pretending the world doesn’t care about all people. They will look stupid in history’s rear-view mirror

What is it with this guy? Yesterday it was radical Muslim mayors and today it is 3 cheers for misogyny
