Ah, the famous "art of the peace deal":

Guess this calls for another Heckler&Grumman-peace prize.

Parks in the middle of the road, despite DOZENS of available parking spaces right there. Not only is there no consequence, but everyone around will rise to DEFEND this criminal behaviour. This is how complete and saturated the nature of crime and corruption in #Malaysia

A complete failure of morality, justice, and civic decency.

#Malaysia is a country that imprisons people for using their phone, and automatically shuts down all gas-station fire investigations, because of a 1990's chain-mail prank.

Even Shell has given up, after issuing official statements year after year debunking the insanity.

»“I have no trust in either Israel or the U.S.,” said Ghinwa Ftouni, 42, in Baisariyah, a village in southern Lebanon. “Just listen to the massive bombing,” she added, as the thuds of Israeli strikes echoed from a few miles away.

Her #disillusionment reflects the past two years of war in Lebanon, but also decades of dysfunction in which the country has lurched from crisis to crisis — its …

These corrupt hacks have been carrying water for racists, sexists, religious yahoos, and fascists for decades. Now Trump has demanded total subservience and the old school Republicans are being primaried.

There is no chance the Republicans or the milquetoast corrupt Democrats, who are wedded to Zionists and corporatists, can survive the collapse of the American empire.

Remember when #Malaysia appointed a traditional Chinese massage therapist as the head of the national COVID task force? Good times.

#failedstate #quackmedicine

The sheer insanity of #Malaysians crippling traffic and civic functions out of abject stupidity and selfishness. Every single day.
Not only will they do nothing about it, but most go to great lengths to defend it.

The situation is so absurd that anyone outside wouldn't believe it.

Malaysia's #MCMC and #PDPA went though a lot of trouble to make sure it is practically IMPOSSIBLE for the public to report any illegal activities in their purvey.

So any time you see news of govt action in response to "reports", those reports were created via insider channels.

So it goes for Trump’s corruption, which is so vast as to be a new phenomenon in American politics. The president and his family have leveraged his office to the tune of nearly $4 billion. They have received hundreds of millions of dollars from a network of branded cryptocurrency assets. Investors include large corporations, foreign nationals and state actors hoping to curry favor
with the administration.

That finding was another painful reminder of a grim challenge in Mexico that does not go away. No matter how hard its leaders have tried to solve it, minimize it or hide it: more than 133,000 people have vanished across the country. Nearly all disappeared in the past two decades, many at the hands of organized crime or colluding officials.

If nothing else, this is a reminder to myself why I don't use #Shopee

- You have to sift through thousands of counterfeit listings and illiterate sellers to actually find something legitimate.

- Thousands are scammed every day by their "Same day delivery guarantee" bullshit. Or any guarantee for that matter.

- The government has told me I have no rights and Shopee can do whatever they want without consequence.

@fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

Masked, armed men girded with bulletproof vests and other military effects, dragging people out of their homes into frigid streets, tossing women to the ground, detaining children, and shooting and killing civilians who are peacefully protesting. Pretti was holding a phone when agents used pepper spray on him, before he was beaten and shot multiple times.

In fact, nearly all of the administration’s responses to deaths in custody, shootings or other accusations of abuses have used maximalist language to venerate immigration officers, dehumanize their victims and villainize anyone who doesn’t support the Trump administration. There are no disinterested parties. No innocent bystanders.
