The young lad works in a pharmacy. The supply chain was disrupted by Brexit. Even say, medicines that are manufactured in Cork would have to go to the UK first and be distributed through there.

He generally just says, “I dunno, we just can’t get them. Will you try this instead?”

What’s the rationale behind distributing from the UK?

And get the munitions and related money grinding. Hopefully not a platform for further fronts.

My fear all this “eu and china been stealing off us” isnt a pretext for really grinding up the war rhetoric/rationale a little further down the track

70 million people versus five, I suppose.

Since Brexit from an EU point of view, I have thought it would be cheaper and quicker to distribute through UK, rather than from.

You know that American “pivot to China” that lads who took themselves very seriously always used to go on about without ever explaining what they were on about because they didn’t actually have a clue what they were talking about but desperately wanted to sound intelligent by throwing in a buzzphrase they thought sounded intelligent?

How’s that “pivot to China” going?

You mean Obama’s policy?!

Fox News hosts now screaming like babies at the very thing they cheerled.

The term demented fuckwits doesn’t even begin to cover it.

No, this

“104% is not enough! We need 400%!”

Everything is just fine, the Crypto Elf has spoken

Didn’t Trump turn a very large fortune into a modest one ?

Businessmen don’t know economics and a lot of them don’t know business. They seem to care a lot about other people’s business though while at the same time decrying “big government”.

Some of them know a lot about stealing and racketeering and extortion. “Legitimate businessmen”.

I’m not sure what all tariffs are supposed to be if they’re not “big government”? I’m not sure what deporting legal immigrants from Venezuela to El Salvador is if not “big government”?

They cry about their opponents supposedly being “communists” then when they get into power they bring in the worst aspects of…communism?

Serious question. You know the way western people see North Korea’s Kim Jong Un as a sort of figure of fun, a figure so absurd, so ridiculous that it’s hard to do anything else except laugh at him and the system he presides over?

While obviously recognising that the North Korean system is a brutal, tyrannical dystopia and the lot of the people unfortunate to be born there is so hopeless and nightmarish that you wouldn’t even want to try and imagine it.

But does Kim Jong Un now have more credibility in the minds of normal people in the west than Donald Trump and the whole Trump cult do?

I mean Kim Jong Un at least didn’t create the hellish system he presides over, he inherited it.

Donald Trump clearly genuinely admires Kim Jong Un, it’s very obvious that Kim Jong Un is one of the models he seeks to emulate, he certainly seeks to flatter him and win his trust.

At this point you’d have to say yes, yes Kim Jong Un does have more credibility than Trump.

Where does this leave leave the credibility of the people in the west who have had the benefit of an education and yet support Trump? There are a lot of them.

When all this is over - if indeed it ever ends in our lifetimes - and it might not - there needs to be some sort of ritual public humiliation, a tarring and feathering and God knows what of the people with a platform who have supported and enabled Trump. That’s a lot of people though. Fuckwits and cunts all of them.
