  • Trump is a “once in a generation” level of grifter, much like Putin, Orban or Berlusconi in their respective countries. They somehow resonate with their population deeply, and they exploit this to grab and keep power.

    Vance is just a run-of-the-mill second line fascist backed by some rich dudes, plenty to go around in every country. They (luckily) lack the charisma to pull votes in the necessary orders of magnitude to win an election.

    I doubt most MAGA fans would follow Vance, the GOP would definitely start infighting after Trump’s death.













  • Has anybody ever been on an all-inclusive, agency organized group trip that wasn’t mid at best?

    These are all about penny-fucking, and ripping off tourists. I look at the pictures in the article and get PTSD from memories of some childhood trip to Bulgaria. At least we had the excuse of being a working family from a poor ex-socialist country, and any beach and hotel was fancy to us. But somebody from a developed country in 2025 pays for something like this, I don’t know what to say to them.

    They could open their browser and book a cheaper trip, staying in an apartment on some Greek or Italian beach, and eating the best local foods. But these old British boomers are lazy and also probably incapable of grilling a salmon steak if their life depended on it. Or at least lift up their asses and walk 200 meters to a restaurant nearby, with edible food.

    I would rather keep working in the office during a hot summer week, than go on a trip like this with half a dozen relatives.
