The Tiananmen Square massacre didn’t happen because in reality David Hasselhof sang on the Berlin Wall and East Turkmenistan became free

But Mr. President, won't your newly announced tariffs raise the prices on American consumers?

Biden: No, because here's the deal… yes but it would be worse under Trump.

But Mr. President, won't your newly announced war spending kill more Palestinians?

Biden: No, because here's the deal… yes but it would be worse under Trump.

But Mr. President, won't your newly announced union busting hurt American workers?

Biden: No, because here's the deal… yes but it would be worse under Trump.

But Mr. President, won't your newly announced pro-Satan ritualistic murder cult damn all of us to eternal torment?

Biden: No, because here's the deal… yes but it would be a longer eternity of torment under Trump.

Simplicius’ weird and chud media criticism / right wing media conspiracy blog started with a quote of Zizek

“Beyond the fiction of reality, there is the reality of the fiction.” — Slavoj Zizek

Two thoughts:

  1. That’s a really good quote. Fucking Zizek is a fraud but his wordplay slaps
  2. The transition of Zizek from a leftist Jordan Peterson to a regular Jordan Peterson continues as the conspiracist anti-globalist right continue to embrace him, although oddly at the moment when Zizek is taking firmly “globalist agenda” pro-imperialist stances.

Biden’s plan: every two weeks leak “I am very concerned” because (1) he is suffering from advanced cognitive decline and (2) his handlers know that Biden at 9 decades of brain rot is still smarter than 90% of the American public and so just mumbling some words about “red line” between naps is enough to placate the lib base who are so fucking hard right now that Trump was convicted.
