    The US government is now a racket headed by an infamous NY gangster that made a fortune scamming people in the real estate business.

    On Friday, the White House presented the composition of “a founding Executive Board”, consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

    It’s astonishing how often Tony Blair manages to find new ways to be a massive fucking disappointment. It’s like he’s already concluded that he’s going to hell for the whole Iraq thing so he’d may as well lean into it by being a huge cunt while he’s alive.

      I thought the same thing. I mean the whole Iraq thing could be seen as a misjudgement in hindsight. Now though he just looks evil.

      Not useless. He’ll now have an additional $1B to steal!

      This is hilarious 🤣 I can’t believe he’s just straight up starting a protection racket!

    I’m pretty sure most countries have an idea of peace that does not openly include “start frivolous wars”. We’ll be ok without that.

    Well, that’s one way to start the new Axis powers. The internal fascist structure could be a gamble (usually even other fascist leaders want to have more authority than deference), but I guess we’ll see how it goes.
