What do you mean we had to listen to âcrooked Hillaryâ and âher emailsâ for YEARS and now they are somehow okay with some businessman and his 20 yr old interns accessing our money, shutting down departments, and threatening our federal employees?!?
Republicans, youâre being played. Theyâre stealing our money and destroying our government under the guise of âwaste.â This is a heist and you voted for it.

So after his master Musk (he let a four year old wipe boogers on his desk and you âAmerica First!â people are pathetic. Youâre letting a SOUTH AFRICAN KETAMINE ADDICT COME IN AND FUCK YOUR COUNTRY UP) dismantled THOUSANDS of federal jobs; Mr. âEveryone loves me!â had the unmitigated balls to post this.
Calling him an asshole is an understatement. This is fucking EVIL as THOUSANDS of lives are being lost along with benefits. Yes Federal workers donât have the cleanest reps but you have to remember at the end of the most of them are like us with bills to pay and mouths to feed.
And for this 78 year old dementia patient to post this shows not just how callous they are but how they really are fueling the flames for a revolution.
I know it sounds crazy but when Republicans constituents are being booed by their OWN PARTY and with MASS protests being held around the country, these billionaires and CEOs who want to treat this country as their own business really do NOT know who theyâre messing with.
Go look up the term âThree Meals from a Revolutionâ.
Iâm astonished at how the richest men in the world and Russian interference can just hijack our country like itâs nothing and let Apartheid Clyde wipe out our national parks. Theyâre just gone, and they are so evil itâs insane.
Hereâs the synopsis of Week 4 of Shitbreak.
Now I have to ask, after a month of this dementia patient do any of you feel safer or that America is âgreatâ again?
Regarding today's UN vote: take a look at this

Apparently this one fuckin works, and who am I to argue with the collective agreement of tumblr. Will report back if good things happen.
I'm still not over one of Trump's lawyers going to court this past week to defend Trump's executive order against "gender ideology," only for the judge to ask very plainly for the lawyer to explain what gender ideology is and the Trump lawyer to respond "its whatever the president thinks and I'm loathe to speculate what exactly that could be" and the judge was like are you fucking kidding me you're a lawyer and you can't explain things your client has said to a judge???
like bro no wonder Trump had to run for president again, look at his fucking lawyers he was gonna go to jail otherwise
him and netanyahu both. They would have had to face the music if they didnât collude to get Trump in office again.

when I'm a hater about charities and people who urge you to donate to 'large reputable charities' rather than grassroots action groups or individual fundraisers please understand it comes from having been inside the belly of the beast. on paper my last office job made me look like some kind of cartoon saint. in reality it was a SCAM. they are TAX GAMES FOR THE ULTRA WEALTHY. the fucking SALARIES of the middle managers alone. our CEO wrote a thinkpiece about why inflated salaries for charity boards were a social good, meanwhile all the people doing the actual support work on the ground were underfunded and ignored to the point that when I suggested spotlighting some of their projects to attract funding nobody in the entire comms department knew what they were working on
yeah and if anything the ground workers are more âskilledâ,
Yeah, Governor, in America they kill people from behind a desk in a nice suit and get a massive payday for it.
they also do kill people in cold blood every day itâs just okie dokie if itâs cops doing it
New York literally just acquitted a guy for killing a homeless man in cold blood.
The problem with âsenseless violenceâ narrative around the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that it ignores the inherent violence of the insurance industry. Denying someone lifesaving care is violence. Subjecting someone to drawn out periods of pain before treatment is violent. The industry is made up of millions of acts of violence everyday, with the CEO at the helm guiding it all. This is not unprovoked and itâs not an overreaction; it is just harder to ignore

this edit is getting taken down from tiktok every time someone reuploads it, its straight up censorship at this point

I recently learned that in March 2011, the same month as the large-scale protests against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad which eventually turned into the Syrian Civil War, Assad paid US public relations agents to get his wife a puff piece in Vogue about how she's a genius girlboss with great fashion sense and a heart of gold
The following profile originally appeared in the March 2011 issue of Vogue magazine. How Vogue Covers the Mideast Crisis How Vogue Covers th
Asma al-Assad is glamorous, young, and very chicâthe freshest and most magnetic of first ladies. Her style is not the couture-and-bling dazzle of Middle Eastern power but a deliberate lack of adornment. Sheâs a rare combination: a thin, long-limbed beauty with a trained analytic mind who dresses with cunning understatement. Paris Match calls her âthe element of light in a country full of shadow zones.â She is the first lady of Syria.
Syria is known as the safest country in the Middle East, possibly because, as the State Departmentâs Web site says, âthe Syrian government conducts intense physical and electronic surveillance of both Syrian citizens and foreign visitors.â Itâs a secular country where women earn as much as men and the Muslim veil is forbidden in universities, a place without bombings, unrest, or kidnappings, but its shadow zones are deep and dark. Asmaâs husband, Bashar al-Assad, was elected president in 2000, after the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad, with a startling 97 percent of the vote. In Syria, power is hereditary. The countryâs alliances are murky. How close are they to Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah? There are souvenir Hezbollah ashtrays in the souk, and you can spot the Hamas leadership racing through the bar of the Four Seasons. Its number-one enmity is clear: Israel. But that might not always be the case. The United States has just posted its first ambassador there since 2005, Robert Ford...
The 35-year-old first ladyâs central mission is to change the mind-set of six million Syrians under eighteen, encourage them to engage in what she calls âactive citizenship.â âItâs about everyone taking shared responsibility in moving this country forward, about empowerment in a civil society. We all have a stake in this country; it will be what we make it.â
In 2005 she founded Massar, built around a series of discovery centers where children and young adults from five to 21 engage in creative, informal approaches to civic responsibility. Massarâs mobile Green Team has touched 200,000 kids across Syria since 2005. The organization is privately funded through donations. The Syria Trust for Development, formed in 2007, oversees Massar as well as her first NGO, the rural micro-credit association FIRDOS, and SHABAB, which exists to give young people business skills they need for the future.

Merry: confused awe
Frodo:Â confused awe
Sam:Â confused awe
Pippin: finally iâm getting the respect i deserve from these peasantsÂ
so accurate i am choking on my carrot. this is making me giggle harder than it should. I love Pippin so much.
no no no you guys donât understand, Pippin is someone really important in the Shire! The books donât talk about it a lot, and the movies wonât touch that stuff with a bargepole, but Pippin will be inheriting land rights to about a quarter of the Shire. Heâs second in line to becoming military leader of all Hobbits. His dad is currently in charge of that stuff, but heâs completely aware of it, and educated for it, and thatâs why heâs such an over privileged little shit in the books.
I thought it was a shame the movies didnât talk about class differences in the Shire. Also puts M&P stealing food in an uglier light.
To be fair, at the time of the Party, Pippin would have been 12, which puts it back into a more acceptable light. Â And theyâre stealing food from Bilbo, a wealthy and eccentric family member, which again makes things a bit different.
But yes, when they call Pippin Ernil i Perrianath - Prince of the Halflings - they are actually completely spot on.
And when Pippin tells Bergil âmy father farms the land around Tuckboroughâ heâs deliberately downplaying his class so that he can greet the boy as an equal rather than a superior.  Itâs Pippinâs most adult moment in the series.  Bergil is engaging in a status contest which Pippin can totally win - but instead chooses not to compete.  Pippin is a gilded and spoiled lordling in the Shire, but he becomes a Man of Gondor.
Yeah, to add a bit of unnecessary trivia/level of preciseness, Frodo is the oldest of the four; he was born in 2968, was (obviously) 33 at the time of the Party, and so heâs 51 here. Samâs second-oldest; born in 2980, he was 21 when Bilbo left and is 39 at this point. Merryâs two years younger than Sam, making him 18 or 19 in 3001, when the Party took place, and Pippin was born in 2990, so he was actually 10 or 11 during the Party, and during this scene theyâre ~37 and ~29, respectively.
So yeah, Pippinâs the youngest by a lot. Plus, taking hobbit aging into account, he really is still in the equivalent of his teens; remember the Party was half to celebrate Frodoâs coming-of-age at 33, and Pippinâs around twenty years younger than Frodo.Â
This fucked me up. I didnât read the books and in the movie it was shown like Frodo took off with the ring like 2 days after Bilboâs gone away, but it was 17 years after that. OMFG.
Also worth noting that âMerry and Pippin stealing foodâ isnât in the book - raiding Farmer Maggotâs fields, specifically the mushrooms, is something Frodo used to do when he was a kid, before his parents died and he moved to Hobbiton to live with Bilbo. Frodoâs still afraid of Maggotâs guard dogs, but the farmer himself is sympathetic and helpful when he finds Frodo & Co. cutting through his field.
And this is specifically invoked in the books at the Council of Elrond, where Elrond argues against Pippin in particular going, because he is so young. Heâs okay with Merry going but wants to keep Pippin in Rivendell. Elrond has serious misgivings against sending an early-teenager off to face the Shadow, and given what happens to Pippin in The Two Towers, he was not wrong.

This is just so great. I justâI canât.
Merry is also a prince of sorts - his father is Master of Buckland, which is the semi-autonomous boundary community between the Brandywine river and the Old Forest (never, alas, discussed in the movies). Merry and Pippin are friends in the books in part because theyâre of relatively equal status and in part because theyâre cousins (like all nobs, Shire nobs mostly marry each other).
However, the books also clearly make Merry the Responsible One, even though heâs only been a full adult for four years. (Think early 20s in human terms.) Merry buys and prepares the house at Crickhollow. Merry figures out the secret of the ring before Bilbo even gives it to Frodo, but Merry keeps Bilboâs secret. Merry convinces Sam to spy on Frodo. Merry explains that theyâre all joining Frodo on the Quest, whether Frodo wants them to or not. Merry cautions about the Old Forest and doesnât go down to drink in the taproom at the Prancing Pony.
So in the books, Merry isnât Pippinâs partner in pranks - instead, Merry and Pippin spend all their time together on the Quest because Merryâs looking after his younger cousin. Can you imagine what his mother would say if he came home without Pippin? Merry can, and thatâs why he takes some pretty absurd personal risks during the books to make sure that doesnât happen. Like, he literally rides into battle on the back of someone elseâs horse, in disguise, because Pippin is probably somewhere in that battle.
Merry is 99%* common sense unless Pippin is involved, and then he is 100% save/rescue/protect/support Pippin. The character growth and maturation we see in Merry in the movies isnât in the books; instead he has almost the exact opposite arc of becoming an extreme risk-taker, driven by his protective instincts.
(*The other 1% stabbed a ringwraith in the calf that one time, but we can argue that this was due to a natural expansion of Merryâs protective instincts toward Eowyn, with whom heâd bonded quite a lot recently, and toward Theoden, who he deeply respected as being kind of like his dad.)
bonus kleenex moment:
when pippin finds merry stumbling half-blind and sick through the streets of Minas Tirith after killing the Ringwraith, he tells Merry âPoor old fellow! Iâll look after you,â half-carries him to the healing halls, and is worried sick about him until he can finally get Aragorn in to give him medicine.
Itâs the first time in the story that Pippin has looked after Merry, instead of the other way around.
It shows that Pippin has grown up, that he can protect the people who always protected him.
This is also why itâs awesome when they finally come back to the Shire, and Sarumanâs made a right mess of things, and itâs Merry and Pippin that kick ass and take names. Theyâre the closest things the Shire has to princes and military leaders, and theyâve just had adventures that make this look like a minor action. Frodoâs tired, and Samâs just worried about Frodo, and Merry and Pippin are like hold my pint, I got this.
