Begging forgiveness of course for supporting the misogynistic implication via longstanding patriarchal standards that somehow fortitude and/or courage is represented by anatomical features as hilariously fragile as testicles!

In at least a dozen videos filmed in her OPM office, political appointee McLaurine Pinover modeled her outfit choices for the day, while directing followers from her Instagram account to a website that could earn her commissions on clothing sales.
On the same day OPM sent a government-wide memo pressing federal officials to identify barriers they faced in their work to “swiftly terminate poor performing employees,” Pinover posted a video blowing a kiss to the camera with the caption “work look” and the hashtag #dcinfluencer. Her Instagram account linked to a site where viewers could buy the $475 purple skirt she wore in the video.

Martin counters Trump claims about Irish investment in US
After President Donald Trump again claimed that Ireland harmed American jobs and the economy, but Ireland Prime Minister Micheal Martin chimed in noting the number of Irish businesses that operated in the U.S.
“It’s a two-way street,” the prime minister said.

“We’ve added value to American companies. We’ve increased our value. They’ve got access to the European market, and they did all of that. I understand where you’re coming from fully, but I think it’s a relationship that we can develop and that will endure into the future,” he said.
So, I guess Ireland is now on the bull’s eye? 52nd state?

I mean… I doubt that they’d take that lying down… they are not too keen to be a colony again, one would imagine.

Iceland is the natural progression after Canada and Greenland.
That’s shitty logistics.
Of course - it’s no worse than looking to fight a war on both your huge southern and northern borders at the same time. With your best allies. While completely alienating all of your other allies.
It seems somewhat counterintuitive. Fucking evil idiot.

A central conceit of the modern race-and-IQ revival is that a right-wing position on race is intellectually indefensible without an appeal to biology. Mainstream conservative arguments blaming racial gaps on welfare or minority culture simply can’t survive serious scrutiny; the only intellectually serious right, they argue, is a racist right.
This is a disgustingly reasonable explainer for why the Trumpkins act and speak like they do. It is also seriously vomit-inducing.
