I'm going with that one in the back has a gland disorder and that's one of his testicles. Explains his position and the expression on his face.

No really I'm pretty sure it's the light switch for SA's stupid fake anti-terrorism museum.

"Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology"

[2Bad]

Is the center working to shut down Wahhabi religious schools, because if not I have some suggestions

[RoydGolden]

I'm all for mocking Trump but that picture was just silly and a little sad like a dad laughing at his own lame dad joke

Apparently it was a publicity stunt to promote the UN, and not even intended as a joke on Trump in the first place.

[2Bad]

Well yes of course that's the official line, what're they going to say, "fuck America?"

[RoydGolden]

All it means is that you can't actually prove anything either way. Though it is highly suggestive...

Meanwhile, deep in #TheStruggle

I still can't believe that men will never be allowed to see the first good DC movie just to teach us a lesson about how bad gender discrimination feels.

Promoting non-American news.

You've got a week to cast your votes.

[Mcjon01]

The best part is that we'll know a week before you when somebody in our government leaks it.

[Seika]

I get leaking what's going on in the White House but, for goodness' sake, security details of a terror attack. Keep a sodding lid on it, you lot.

Also it'll probably be a Tory victory but fuck it, betting the farm.

[SeiKeo]

What if we let Labour win, just to see how much of a disaster the Corbyn regime would be?

[2Bad]

I mean it actually couldn't be worse than May.

The "ideal" outcome, and boy it's a fucking fantasy, would be a labour-libdem coalition that leashes Corbyn while still boxing out the Tories but all the LDs can really do at the moment is underline that they're the only ones who opposed Brexit. Which isn't NOTHING, but probably doesn't get the whole "we're Tory bootlickers" stench off for the average voter.

Labour's own problems need hardly be underlined.

[SeiKeo]

[2Bad]

Yeah that's why the Scandy nations all sank beneath the sea.

what actually, provably doesn't work is privatized healthcare

[RacingeR]

first, neoliberalism doesn't work,

[2Bad]

I mean the leftist belief that free trade is a bigger threat than nazism is not good either.

[SeiKeo]
