U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 132

Corey Lewandowski just became the sneering, sarcastic face of the family separation crisis


i was wondering when the walking shitposters that pass for conservative commentators would start trolling terrified children. you got anvil-faced sub-cretin Laura Ingraham calling detention centers "summer camp", followed by neck-with-limbs Ann Coulter claiming that babies ripped from their mother's tit are "reading from a script" (what script is that, hatchet-head; the Iron Gates adaptation?) , and now edge-dad up there making the Debbie Downer foghorn noise upon hearing that a 10 year old with down syndrome is having a really really bad fucking day.

Space Force, take the wheel.

Man found in soiled nappy and weighing just six stone left to ‘rot to death’


Jordan Burling, 18, was found dead on a filthy inflatable mattress wearing a soiled nappy – close to where the decomposed body of his baby brother was discovered in a rucksack.

His mum Dawn Cranston, 45, “didn’t seem bothered” as medics performed CPR on him and told a 999 operator it was “a blessing” he was unresponsive so she could skip work, jurors heard today.

The teen died after becoming riddled with infected sores and being “allowed to decay” for weeks at his home in Leeds.

When cops were scrambled, they found the body of Dawn Cranston’s full-term newborn baby stuffed into a rucksack in the same room.

Jordan had suffered pressure sores as a result of barely moving which were infected leaving his bones exposed in places.

The court heard the dead baby had grown to full term in the womb but it could not be established if he was born dead or alive.

Mr Lumley added: “Within what would have been Jordan’s bedroom, officers found a small rucksack, within which were plastic bags inside plastic bags.

“As the police handled the rucksack, a rancid smelling liquid began to seep from the layers of bags.

“Amongst the liquid were tiny bones, all that remained of a baby boy.”

"Much of today’s upper class is engaged in a frenzy of self-improvement. They want to be skinnier, healthier, younger-looking, smarter, nicer, more loving and, since Trump assumed the presidency, more politically aware too. But were they truly improving? They may eat more vegetables, but this age seems more narcissistic than any before, more beholden to snake oil, and has put many individuals in the grip of an uneasy self-image toggling between unrealistic grandiosity and soul-crushing envy. Nxivm positioned itself as the true self-improvement gospel."

The ‘Sex 

Cult’

Preached Empowerment

Why did female members of Nxivm
follow a guru named Keith Raniere,
who now stands accused
of sex trafficking?
He made them feel
like they were in control.
