It seems our wannabe is even thicker than I gave her credit for. She sold her passport details to some Chinese bloke for £550…

“ Drug mule suspect Bella Culley was paid to pose as a company director so Chinese retailers could bypass an Amazon ban on trading in the UK, it was claimed last night.

Culley, 18, is said to have received £550 in return for her passport information, which was then used to open a business account on the digital marketplace.

She is listed at Companies House as a director of Lujamen Ltd, a firm linked to Jiamin Lu, a 30-year-old businessman based in Guangdong, China, who sells second-hand electrical items online*. ”

But wait…another idiot has been copped, a 21yo “teen” is in custody - Sri Lankan authorities seized 46kg of kush - a strain of cannabis, estimated value £1.15M. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14723543/Ex-Tui-stewardess-21-drugs-cannabis-sri-lanka.html

can’t cure stupid.

* Maybe it’s just me but I‘m wary of second hand electrical items and steer clear, particularly from someone I don’t know personally.

 There is a generation of completely stupid people coming through who live their lives through social media. I've seen some interviewed who have never heard of major countries or famous people from history - imbeciles for whom Tik Tok, Youtube, and Instagram are everything. I doubt these drug mules have any perception whatsoever of the hell hole prisons they will spend the rest of their lives in if caught.

The are like dumb animals, and I feel kind of sorry for them in the same way I'd feel sorry for a cat or a dog that was about to be put down.

This latest one has got a face like an inflatable sex doll - why on earth would anyone want to look that on purpose?

 

 

I felt the same way Anon and thought other personal comments were needless. I would feel sorry for anyone in a brutal prison abroad where basic human rights are denied. That doesn't mean I can't see the stupidity of their actions, but you still feel empathy for what another human being is going through. Obviously if someone is in that prison for murder or SA the above doesn't apply. There will be women in that jail who are simply poor and commited shoplifting. They won't have adequate counsel and are totally dehumanised. I do suspect that some try to sound harder online than they truly are.

According to the news here, the outcome doesn't look good.
Sad.

He has had a good innings but of course it is very sad to hear. If he had been elected president I don't know what the protocol is for these circumstances. Trump had the nerve to 'wish him well'. He Has spent his entire time in office slating Biden, blaming him for anything he can think of and stating the prior election was rigged. Hopefully that immature rhetoric will now cease but it couldn't of helped Biden when he was trying to get to grips with this diagnosis. I hope he pulls through against the odds but I concur it doesn't look good. Unlike Trump he was a decent man. Wish him and his loved ones all the best.

 It‘s very sad news, Syl  Like most presidents, he wasn’t perfect. But I’ve always believed he’s an inherently good and kind man, whose intentions were what he felt were in the best interests of the people he served.

He sure as fuk doesn’t deserve the lambasting and pile-ons he’s had to endure to this day, and he sure as fuk was a better alternative to the chaotic, deeply corrupt, absolute shitshow currently in office.

I‘d gladly list what he actually managed to accomplish during his presidency, if anyone’s interested. Imo, the only issues he got seriously wrong were immigration, and the piss-poor enactment and messaging throughout the Afghanistan withdrawal (where in reality, he had to clean up the Afghanistan mess he inherited from trump’s first term).

 Prepare for incoming...

 The biggest problem he had was, was the economy.  They spouted numbers about growth, which means nothing to people who are using credit to buy groceries..

 

Immigration was probably second. Folks had pretty much forgotten about Afghanistan.

 

Third was his social issues.  DEI and people with dicks competing against women. We as a country are tired of that shit. Thankfully, even most Dems have gotten that message.

 

 

Gaffe or slip?.

 

Beats me. 🤷

 Hard to disagree with that analysis. The hubris of the Democratic Party and Biden himself for not stepping aside sooner didn't help.

The economy killed Biden's presidency. It looks like it will kill Trump's presidency as well unless his gamble with tax cuts for the rich pays off and GDP increases significantly. If it doesn't pay off then what comes after Trump could be much worse and more authoritarian (presuming he doesn't try to run for a 3rd term.) 

Your country seems incapable of fiscal discipline and to stop spending. That being the case you'll try to inflate and print your way out of trouble. Forget about owning a house, the value of your savings and if you are holding any kind of variable rate debt like credit cards then start praying.

 Sounds like he is saying he has cancer.

 He said he had cancer. The question is did he have cancer two years ago when he said that?

 "Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, a former member of Biden’s transition team who helped craft the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, stunned MSNBC’s left-leaning “Morning Joe” with his analysis that the 82-year-old likely had cancer while serving as president."

 

Doctor who worked with Biden shocked over cancer diagnosis -- and claims former prez may have had disease for 'a decade'
