I honestly don’t know how many times I need to say this… frankly I’m now getting pissed off… so maybe if I say this in caps, people will heed what I’m saying.

It’s amazing just how quickly yt men in power ‘suddenly’ need to speak to the ‘populist’ voter… it’s almost like there’s something that they have In common that I can’t qwhite out my finger on…

He only sorry he got caught… consequences… he just don’t like consequences… he’s never had to face them… I hope the judge throws the book at him and he gets the maximum sentence.

Is he actually saying that all rules regarding bullying, humiliation, degradation, and abusive behaviour including toxic leadership needs to be reviewed because… (?) leaders need to be empowered to… use hazing techniques??

And at the same time as OS wants the army to train in US cities??

What???

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 8d

He said he was ordering a review of “the department’s definitions of so-called toxic leadership, bullying and hazing to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing.”

What the actual f*ck??

Wait… wut?… what??… WHAT???

From Associated Press:

“Hegseth said he is loosening disciplinary rules and weakening hazing protections, putting a heavy focus on removing many of the guardrails the military had put in place after numerous scandals and investigations…

I’ve just watched this amazing doc… it’s the usual story… a march about ‘concerns’ that although it could be said not everyone there was a racist, for sure there were racists there who felt at home to extol their views… yep… the tide is turning back to the 1970s for sure…

The Streisand Effect is in full flow… 🤣

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

Watching how known and proven racists are being received and given massive platforms to throw up their rhetoric of hatred all over the British public, without question or consequence is EXACTLY how we will follow the US into fascism.

It’s f*cking depressing.

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

Just leaving this here…

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 20d

You know, it’s a good job the FOTUS isn’t some racist foreigner coming over here at taxpayers expense, being put up in some 5* lodgings whilst leeching off the state & not integrating with us Brits, bare face telling us what to do… we did Brexit to precisely to stop foreigners from doing that shit…

It depends on the relationship… and the basis for the relationship to become… Frankly…

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

But, you know… publishing such data would reveal the truth and no one wants to know about that…

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

Because it plays to a certain base that is incorrectly being considered as a majority. It’s all smoke and mirrors. All govt has to do is publish the data on the numbers that legally come into/out of the country, publish the basics of the asylum system, and produce yearly data of ‘expats’ leaving…

Right?… I had to look myself as I was confused that the show only ran for the nine seasons… at one point Catfish seemed to be everywhere… MTV, YouTube, social media… almost non-stop…

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

Because the ‘documentary’ came out in 2010… even though the series ran for nine seasons, Catfish did have a number of one off programmes before being commissioned… it also had a UK version too…

One thing I know about people who have hatred in their hearts is that they attract chaos… they create chaos in the lives of others and enjoy watching the misery it brings to others, knowing they’ve created it… yet don’t realise that same chaos visits them too.

It’s not sabotage, it’s called life.

Pauline Mayers @emergentp.bsky.social · 15d

Back on this mortal coil, I’ve come to realise that Orange Satan had a couple of mishaps at the UN… an escalator suddenly switched off as he stepped on it and the teleprompter stopped working just as he gave his ‘address’ to the UN (read moanfest).

His team are claiming sabotage…

Check in: it’s 7:36am and yep… Still here 👋🏾

There’s just shy of 17 hours of the day left… still plenty of time… I figure I’ll start panicking when it gets to midnight tonight… or maybe it’s not GMT but UTC-4… or maybe EST… or maybe…

Also wondering… are there any reports of The Raptured? 🤔
