    These beeper gifts are insane. How would Japan react if the US gave them a fake atomic bomb as a gift on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb drop?

    Haha, war crime momentos make such wholesome gifts. It can go on the shelf next to gold plated box cutters from 9/11 and a gold plated shower head from WWII.

    So he’s given a free pass to wear a sloppy hoodie and no doubt shorts when meeting a head of state, but Zelenskyy gets shit for wearing tidy fatigues…

    I can’t believe it was this guy or Dr. Fucking Oz. There is something deeply wrong with Pennsylvania.

    John fetterman, who once held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint with a loaded shotgun because someone set off some fireworks nearby, who was elected to gentrify his town and mainly did his “amazing projects” because his rich dad suddenly was willing to dump a ton of money into the town now that his kid was mayor (on top of paying his kid 50k a year since the mayor gig paid dick)

    Also his second election he literally abused his power to release confidential arrest records on his opponent to smear his record. And he only won the first time by a single vote.

    He was placed in the mayor gig to gentrify the town and remove “undesirables”. He is a class traitor from the beginning. He is a rich daddy’s boy who never did any serious work and was bank rolled by privilege. He was happy to take his generational wealth and use that to uproot people from “his” town that he felt didn’t meet the “target demographic”. Neolibs loved this because on paper he raised property values! He lowered crime! But he didn’t do this by addressing any systemic issues or helping the community in any real way. He did it by sweeping problems under the rug

    Fuck John fetterman. I unironically hope that pager blows up

        I forgot to mention he not only has never apologized for mistakenly holding the black jogger at gunpoint (when he had no reason to do so other than being suspicious of black folk in “his” town) he has actively refused to do so. This became a problem during his senate run because of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, which was essentially the same exact scenario except two dipshit white idiots that egged each other on into murdering the innocent jogger they kidnapped for no reason.

        The dnc actively worked to downplay the fact that their new wunderkid was a racist shithead because he polled well, aligned with Israel, was a class traitor, etc. they fuckin love fetterman. Now he’s the heel that lets them get gop bullshit pushed through which they love even more (so much that their fucking leadership does it)

        Have a look at the things Brian Blessed and Christopher Lee have done. Each is worthy of being your hero.

    What’s the message? I would feel threatened if I received a pager as a gift in that context. Does it signal ‘Bro, we are friends, trust me’? How can this be seen in a positive way?

      What’s the message?

      " Look at how little we care. We think so little of what you think that we’re going to commemorate the time that we blew up a whole bunch of people with communications devices and we’re going to give it as a victory trophy to this brownshirt shithead that pretends to be a working mans politician."
