    Imagine how much better the world would be if politicians had to pass a simple mental health assessment in order to hold office.

    No good can ever possibly come from granting authority to psychopaths, and it’s long past time for humanity to wake up and stop doing it.

      Absolutely. Psychopaths are naturally good at politics and they’re some of the last people we should choose to be politicians.

      Same for CEOs and other powerful figures.

    Walberg is an asshole. He only invites supporters to his townhalls, and this time someone slipped through. I wish he would publicly announce these meetings, I’d like to yell some unkind truths at him.

    He would never say anything similar about Ukraine, and opposes any aid to them.

    He will be brought back into line by the oligarchs. There has already been talk of Gaza being prime beachfront land. They definitely don’t want it radioactive ☢️.

    Haven’t they already though?

    Edit: /s. I was implying that they essentially have probably dropped an equivalent megatons on Gaza as what was dropped on Hiroshima but simply with ‘conventional’ bombs.

      No… pretty sure any use of a nuclear weapon in the modern world would result in mass notifications to millions of peoples phones globally within minutes. Plus every government on the planet would be scrambling to make sure they’re defended against another bomb and preparing a response
