Surely he has thrown a lot away: his relationships with his family, and a great job. Sure he might escape accountability on some points, we’ll see. He might have to live with his family hating him for a long time though.

Imagine being one of the wealthiest people in the world, with a great job and a loving family, and then throwing it all away because a Chinese spy complimented your leather jacket collection

Looks like Miller never, ever leaves his ivory tower

We (the UK) aren’t in such a war, but what the UK is doing is helping Ukraine to defend itself

So the voters basically say to Trump “we’d prefer a government that isn’t so far-right” and Trump’s reaction is to veer even harder to the right

Because Facebook is designed to be addictive, I guess. Same reason why people smoke even though it’s very unhealthy.

It’s like running with a bucket of water to a burning man and saying “I’ll douse you, but it’ll cost you 100 bucks”

I wonder if it will cost them more trying to defeat the tax, than if they just paid the tax.

They’d probably be okay with that anyway. They probably enjoy paying more just to watch poor people squirm.

I’ve noticed that irony too. For example, in 2024:

Donald Trump’s campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK’s Labour Party, accusing it of “blatant foreign interference” in the US election

And then, in 2026:

JD Vance backs Orbán’s re-election bid in Budapest visit

It’s funny that conservatives are all about “law and order” and then they’ll happily break the law (fleeing Brazil illegally) when it serves them

Oppressive authoritarianism? But tankies told me that China is a place of unbridled liberty. A land of milk and honey. Unlike the evil West which is always horrible and terrible.

Rich people pump money into politics in order to amplify their personal whims. Then they wonder why self-described socialist politicians are becoming more popular.
