When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom - freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Eric Hoffer, The true believer (1951)

"Sin querer se mata a un hombre, y queriendo, a una mujer" decía el gran Lázaro Candal en sus transmisiones de fútbol cuando veía una falta así...
Los que reclaman roja a Messi por un pisotón sin intención. (Que ni los Argelinos reclamaron) Son las viudas del Real Madrid que aún lloran por Qatar. Aprendan algo de fútbol y del reglamento muchachos. Quedan muy pelotudos. Nosotros admiramos a Ronaldo Y Mbappé. Porque nos gusta el fútbol. La pasión no nos quita inteligencia. Hay que ser menos boludo. Y más generoso con el propio cerebro.

If that were true, and Obama got an objectively better deal than you, what do you think they’re saying about you
Trump: "You know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch."

For months, President Trump used a fictional “$18 trillion” figure for supposed investment in the US during this term. Yesterday, he said it’s “over $18; it’s going to be $19…point-four when the new figures (are) out.” Later yesterday, he said it’s “over $19 trillion.” In a social media post 20 minutes ago, he said it’s “over $19.1 trillion.” Speaking out loud minutes after that, he said it’s “over $19.2 trillion.”

Trump was desperate to sign an MOU with Iran. Why? Gas prices. He is giving HUNDREDS of BILLIONS to Iran to open the Strait for only 60 days... for gas prices. Because he knows if gas prices rise into the midterms, Dems sweep, and he has to face justice for his crimes.

If the alleged UFC 250 terror plot was so serious, then why was Kash Patel attending it?
News: Secret Service officials are furious that FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday morning the details of a sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into a plot to attack the UFC fight event this weekend with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident. Secret Service and FBI agents had been partnered on the investigation into a group of individuals discussing plans for a drone attack at the White House in the last week, and had discussed unsealing the case and making an announcement later that day. The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was the case had been sealed in court and roughly ten suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel made his public social media post. Secret Service and FBI officials had discussed seeking to make more arrests, unseal the case by late Tuesday afternoon and make a joint public statement, and were surprised by Patel “jumping the gun.” “We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter,” said one administration official, who like others, asked to speak confidentially to discuss sensitive matters. The threat to the UFC event became known to the Secret Service and FBI in the last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area, according to two people briefed on the probe, and reporting that their relative was talking about engaging in some vague plot in DC. An advanced threat interdiction team at the Secret Service, with the help of the FBI, began seeking a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread and then were able to identify the plot being planned and some of the people discussing using drones and possible snipers to attack the UFC fight event at the White House’s South lawn. Authorities then arrested one suspect on June 13 and moved immediately to seal the case so the FBI and Secret Service could continue investigating and identifying and arresting additional suspects. The Secret Service also dramatically increased its plans for security around the event as a precaution, and put out an alert to its law enforcement partners to be on the lookout for people with drones in downtown Washington and other identifying information. Matt Quinn, the Secret Service’s deputy director, called out Patel’s premature announcement in a Tuesday news conference but did not use his name and said the Secret Service made a conscious decision not to reveal the existence of the probe prematurely. “I’ll tell you a phrase I learned early in my career in the New York field office and that’s `Don’t choke on your own smoke,” he said. “I’ll tell you the Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. I’ll tell you that case is ongoing. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it.” He said he was choosing not to discuss extensive details of the case because it remained sealed and ongoing.

Hillary Clinton says when she was Secretary of State there was “constant” and “relentless” pressure by Prime Minister Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak to secure U.S. backing for a military strike against Iran. Clinton recalled hours-long phone calls where Israeli officials used leverage tactics, frequently telling her their "planes are on the tarmac" to imply an imminent, unilateral strike. Clinton says she would respond to pressure like that with: "Well, good luck." The New Yorker’s David Remnick asks if she felt the U.S. was being manipulated or "played" by a foreign ally that receives an enormous amount of American aid, Clinton agreed and said it happened "all the time" due to Netanyahu's intense focus on the issue.

The deal with Iran will go down as one of the most incompetent ever made. The U.S. lost on virtually every point. We just don't win anymore!

The fact that that they’re pouring from 1 gallon bottles instead of pulling up a tanker truck and hooking it up directly to the pumping system is a strong indicator that someone low on the totem pole got yelled at and had to improvise by sending some interns on a home-depot run.
Pouring single gallon bottles of stuff into a pool of 6 million gallons is not regular maintenance

Most people think that General Electric signed a contract to start investing in Venezuela. That is not accurate. What General Electric, and several other U.S. companies, have signed are Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs). An MOU is a preliminary agreement that sets out the intention to explore a project. It is not the same as a binding investment contract. The signal is still important. It shows that major international companies are seriously evaluating Venezuela again. But it also shows that the country needs key reforms in order to actually move forward.
