Welcome to the Freak Show

Do I REALLY need to read this The Staten Island Advance post?

Man sought for questioning after police say corpse sexually defiled on NYC subway near Staten Island Ferry 

 How about this one?

Suspect intentionally lit sex toys on fire, leading to Staten Island multi-home blaze

Yes, I believe I do but maybe later. Also, this does nothing to assuage my belief that Staten Island is filled with nothing but MAGAts and perverts (but I repeat myself).

I’m attempting to learn a little Spanish. I think these would come in handy:

Mucho hablar y poco decir juntos suelen ir.
Much talk and saying little usually go together.
Empty vessels make the most noise. Republican “christians” immediately come to mind.

Con dinero baila el perro
With money, the dog dances.
That is, everyone has a price/anything’s possible with money. This, obviously, explains Trump and his moral-free Republi/Facist Party.

Eres tan patético, que resultas entrañable.
You are so pathetic, you are endearing.
Oooooo, sick burn!

Now, I need to learn how to pronounce these so's I can use 'em..

Did you know? Giant grouper fish are all born female. After they reach a certain age, if the conditions are right, they become males.

There’s finally proof of life. Wrongfully sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador, Ábrego García, is still alive but no closer to coming home. Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen was initially denied entry to the prison where Maryland resident Ábrego García is being held.  

This as, U.S. Rep. Riley Moore, a Republican from West Virginia’s 2nd District, Missouri Republican Jason Smith and others have been allowed in for photo ops where they, of course, slobbered like lovestruck dogs over their orange sphincter-mouthed king. Mucho hablar y poco decir juntos suelen ir.

Meanwhile, El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, mocked the situation and Ábrego García. Con dinero baila el perro.

FYI, HanesBrands and Kimberly-Clark both have big plants in El Salvador.

Hanes top brands are: Hanes, Maidenform, Bali, Wonderbra, JMS, and Bonds. Textiles account for 40% of Al Salvador's exports, according to The Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC). The United States is the largest importer of goods from El Salvador, at $2.16 Billion imported per year.

Buy your under drawers from someone else!

Kimberly-Clark products include Kleenex, Kotex, Cottonelle, Scott toilet paper, and Huggies disposable diapers and baby wipes.

Buy your tissues, pads, nappies and butt wipes from another company!

The real question is: who has the responsibility to uphold human rights? The answer to that is: everyone.
