If you compared Vivian's social media posts to Musk's ket-addled Nazi nonsense in a blind test..

I would also point out it's not just insults.
Over the years I have some fairly in-depth reasons and explanations about the fact that Trump is.
1. Demented (specifically fronto-temporal dementia).
2. A fascist (waves generally at - everything he does)
3. A cunt (points at everything he says)

Kinda want to apply for a visa to visit, just so someone has to read my last 5 years of me calling Trump a demented fascist cunt.
But I will probably avoid the place until sanity returns...

Personally, I am surprised how well he's doing. His, fairly obvious, fronto-temporal dementia has progressed quite slowly so far.
I'd have expected him to be dribbling in a wheelchair by now.
US has amazing medics if you're rich.
But it's only going to accelerate...

Legally, it is the right of the refugee to claim asylum where *they* feel safe. There are very obvious reasons for this. If you try and imagine that you have some compassion, you might be able to figure it out...

Crossing a national border to claim asylum is an *absolute* defence in law.
Therefore it is not illegal for that purpose.

Like it did in Massechusets ?
Profits and assets in this country can be taxed - whether the owner is here or not. Our most productive and profitable years in the UK saw far higher taxes on wealth. The myth of wealth-flight is useful propoganda, but not really true.

The rich can pay more.
Discussions about tax on income are irrelevant when the .1% are taxed so much less on capital gains from their already-accumulated assets.
Tax wealth, not work.

I am thinking through the implications here in England. We have a new politician who is as honest, courageous and straightforward about trans rights as Zohran. And I think it properly fucks with our media's current abusive rhetoric.
Sorry if I worded things badly.
I will leave you alone.

You can absolutely throw *anyone* under a bus, without *hating* them. As long as you're too scared to stand up to the bastards who're busy chucking *everyone* they hate under random busses ?

Nah. It's not about them being transphobic.
It's about them being cowards.
But they *will* lose because of that.

There was some German guy in the 1940s who built a giant ballroom ("Wintergarten" - same sorta thing) over his executive bunker.
