The first is from Venezuela... Two firefighters there made a, now, viral video in which they filmed a donkey, dubbed El Presidente Ma-burrow inspecting the firehouse. National "Counter Intelligence" officials (Ironic name, eh?) in the Maduro administration subsequently arrested the two cynical firefighters who sit in custody waiting for the officials to decide what charges could be brought against them...
Yeah... they don't have a clue what crime was committed but they arrested them anyway...
https://komonews.com/news/offbeat/venez ... -presidentThe second story is about another ass: Ksharma Sawant. Seems her Ugliness is upset about Jeff Bezos plan to spend $2 billion (with a B) to fight homelessness. He is set to manage these funds meritoriously..i.e. he will hand out the money to organizations and civic groups which demonstrate actions which "move the needle" on homelessness (an unfortunate term, IMO, since drugs are prima facie the single biggest factor in homelessness)
Anywhoo... I think Idiot Sawant is just mad because she got swatted (sa-watted?) down on the corporate tax and now Bezos is laying out even MORE money than that which would have been collected by the tax and appears to be a bald faced statement that the billionaire doesn't trust the city clowncil to act responsible with $42 million per year (the money the now dead corporate tax proposal would have provided) and instead will administer it in his own way... It's tough when you're publicly called an Idiot, eh Sawant? (Oh wait, that's your first name isn't it?)
So, Chikun Schwarma accused Bezos of trying to "White-wash" his image... (is that veiled racism, Ms. Schwarma? I'm triggered.)
