Fuck these assholes

Fuck Ana Navarro

And FUCK SUNNY HOSTIN.

Yeah!

FUCK YOU, TOO!

I give the Queen credit for overseeing the dismantling of the genocidal and destructive British Empire and the establishment of the Commonwealth but criticism of the Royal Family is well earned.

Sunny has it right - we can mourn the queen and not the empire, which did loot and pillage half the world.  Liz Two did a decent job towards atonement and reparations, within her very limited powers as a figurehead.

Charles and his descendants and property, should be transferred to Africa as reparations. It would be only a small symbolic gesture, but it would be a good start.

Some of the Royal family...many of them are decent and caring human beings, working to make the Commonwealth and the world better places.

Maybe once the rich descendants of the tribal chiefs who sold their own people into slavery do so first.

Indeed she did.
For which she should be praised...instead of having this posted on social media about her....

bambu-ilk saw her post...were totally outraged....no 1 morning radio host agonised over what to do, then outed her, made it all public.

The 25-year-old, an Indigenous All-Star and former Jillaroos player, took to Instagram in the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II to share a post with her thoughts

She's been named, shamed [if she has any], her family is now known [who knows if they're happy with her or not], she has to front the NRLW [National Rugby League Women] Integrity Unit this week.

I apologize for questioning the Trumps' (one and all) bona fides as great thinkers.  I now understand why Kid considers them as such.

I learned a Dorgi was an accidental hybrid of a Corgi and a Dachshund.  I envision you as a less viable hybrid, perhaps a dachsund and a warthog.  Call it a Warthodox.  It emits content-free yapping noises while it rolls in its own shit.

A Punishing heat wave in California has triggered rolling blackouts and brownouts.


Climate change?
Well yeah but made intolerable by the Californian Electric Grid relying too much on unreliable green energy in a time of record energy demand.
See Germany under Merkel for more proof of human stupidity in adapting.

Her fascist regime made you a moron. Granted you were there already but still.

When did we adopt the rule that looking critically at the entirety of a person's life on earth and place in history is a bad thing? QE II was human, and while she had her virtues she and her rule were far from unmixed blessings, especially for some populations. Good to have the cautioning dissenting voices out there before the hagiography congeals.
