I can't fathom what it's like to be the most racist narccissitic arsehole that has ever existed, yet everyday we get multiple examples of said entity

Boy is humanity in a world of shit

Yep! The trouble with democracy is that people will elect the people who represent what voters want…

More important than ever that the search for justice continues! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing to track down and bring Israeli criminals to justice is one that is vital in the effort to hold Israel accountable.  Let us hope they will also turn their sights on the criminal leaders of the countries of the west who are co-perpetrators of these crimes.

Find out what they’re doing here:

The least we can do is donate to help them:

Thank you for continuing the fight.

Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, Masonic, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.

Will Ellison & Disney turn the Whitehouse into a Theme Park? Has Congress turned into an Israeli employee? Make Palestine Palestine Again. Zionists are Terrorists.

The day that the U.S. splits into many smaller countries so it won't be the powerful empire that it is can't come fast enough.

The U.S. President is probably the most secure job on the planet because you can do all the bad shit in the world and you'll never be held accountable for any of it. If I ever get elected President, I would be signing so many executive orders but social security, education, universal healthcare would be funded, civil rights would be made permanent, and we would be out the war business. What is the point of Congress and the Supreme Court, they seem are only to exist to be the President's Yes-People.

This gross spectacle would be laughable if it weren’t so tragically pathetic. The Bread and Circuses of ancient Rome have passed on to our own fallen republic.

What is UFC? It can’t be anything good if Trump wants it‼️🤨

Eddie's avatar

It's a martial arts fighting league. The UFC has always been a haven for extreme right wing hacks.

You don't really want to know, trust me. Of course the U is for Ultimate how could it not be with Demented Don involved. F is for fighting a stupid fight among caged prisoners (performers). C is for Championship, a pretend Championship. We are in that 1934 Berlin moment. This is normal now : (

Eddie's avatar

Except that the performers are there of their own voluntary will and getting paid big bucks to do it.

Screw Dana White forever.

While we're here: Justice for Hasan Pike and Susan Medea Benjamin!

Too funny, Caitlin, who knew??

We live in a clown world, a real live circus. And the trained seals will clap for the entertainment, not realizing they too are trapped in the cage.

I'd say, more like WWE. But whatever. Like Caligula and Incitatus the horse Trump does this because he can.

As someone who grew up in the sports subculture, played it, was a fan and even became a nuanced alcoholic in its sports bars. Now, I can't even stand to watch it as Neoliberalism has turned it into a decrepit Roman amphitheatrer of spoiled,loud thugs.

This decadent circus can be summed up by: panem et circenses

A disgusting strategy used by a whole line of Roman rulers who used gladiatorial games and mass spectacles as a deliberate political tool to distract, pacify, and depoliticize the population.

I am sorry...what the fuck?!

Ilija Prentovski's avatar

Perfect illustration of the political circus! People keep voting and believe that those men in the arena are fighting for real. No, they're just putting up a show.

Thank you, Caitlin, for such masterful poetry, soulful and entertaining.

Glorious renderings of the arena propose a fitting monument for the US White House, a disco-lit coliseum to frame the existing portico colonnade. What better venue for violent bread-and-circus spectacles to capture the spirit of America's Epstein class? Presumably, there are cages below for gladiators and tormented animals.
