#FAFO

If people want me to tell better stories about them - they can make better choices & not ever try to abuse me or anyone else. They can get themselves help for their own darkness. They can choose to step into humility & work towards trying to rectify their own wrongs. If they opt to stay abusive & think #FAFO doesn't apply to them - well, life has a way of knocking those kinda folks, flat on their own egotistical faces 🙌

#Tesla #Cybertruck #Nazis #FAFO

'A man passing through San Francisco in a company-branded Tesla Cybertruck was seen repeatedly raising his arm in a Nazi salute at a group of people in Mission Bay, footage circulating on social media shows. ... Since it was posted on social media Wednesday, several people have flooded Cyber Electric’s Yelp page with one-star reviews and scathing comments regarding the interaction.'

They supported trump in 2020.

In 2024 they hugged him, welcomed his photo op with cold pizzas, & booed Letitia James. They refused to endorse Harris.

In 2025, trump stripped funding of their 911 health program. He gutted the NIOSH department. And now he's further cutting funding for firefighter health & safety.

Now they discovered REGRETS. That sponsorship of trump by #firefighters may have backfired.

@Nonilex A clear case of fnck around and find out. #FaFo.

I pity the children whose parents deny them basic protection agains viruses and bacterial infections. There is a reason why humans live this long these days and it is called vaccines!

Do people really want to go back to the the years 1800-1900 massive pandemics wiped out large portions of countries because medical science was less advanced back in the day compared to today? I find this incomprehensible. Utter stupidity of those people.

#USpolitics #GlobalPolicy #Japan

The entire [US] nation is going to #FAFO.
Did you really think you could elect a bully buffoon to your White House without consequenses ? [Never been a US strong point]
Did you really think that putting the whole global economy on notice, it wouldn't hurt yourself ?
For decades the US dictated terms on the world, economical and political. Staring at their navel [Dutch expression] fooling themselves at being the best. You were not the best or the biggest, you're the sickest. It's not just Trump it's #CapitalismIsFailingYou.
The US is a country based on loans. An estimated 20% of investments are from outside the US [Can, China or Europe], what if that money left the country ?
And now, Canada is selling their oil and natural gas, not to their former ‘friends’ but to their new friends in Europe and India [guess you never knew just how dependent you were on Canada], and now Europe is starting to make their own weapons [guess you can pay for those yourself now, without the profits you used to make], and how much of your tourism industry will survive without visitors from the rest of the world [just keep scaring them away].
And when you're done Finding Out you'll need to come back in the world; with your tail between your legs or with hanging paws [another Dutch expression]
The US society is based on the consumption of bucket loads of gadgets, trinkets and non essentials. Good luck with your I-phone after five years of no supply or rare earths. But I guess you'll keep drilling baby drilling and sufficate. No more windmills or clean energy. [It will take up to 5 years to find, build and exploit your own rare earths mines.
No, when half the country CHOSE to belief the gaslighting [lies] and voted for the OrangeBlob , they signed for their own demise. You'll Find Out.

But my dear Americans... there's still ONE thing you must do. Keep that fool away from starting a war and a red button. It will end in your total annihilation and with it the rest of the world and human life.
It is #TimeToResist, it is time for an end of Trump.
And now a clip by the opposition in Japan and notice just how polite politics can be.

5 employees of a security firm, LEAR Asset Management in Northern #Idaho have been charged with assault and false imprisonment while conducting their ‘job’ at a #TownHall meeting.

Their names are Paul Trouette, Russell Dunne, Christofer Berg, Jesse Jones and Alex Trouette IV. A sixth thug, Michael Keller, was ‘volunteering’ and was also arrested. #FAFO huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-idaho

HuffPost · 6 Men Charged After Woman Was Dragged Out Of Chaotic Idaho Town Hall MeetingBy AP

Measles cases in the US continue to climb and it is killing children. The question is, how bad do people in the US want this to get?

Worse outcome would be that the virus mutates and it might potentially kill a lot of people. Please remember this is a highly contagious virus.

And by the way, we have a vaccine against this virus that can prevent a lot of suffering for children and parents.

Honestly, I am tired of the news media framing the MAGAt regret stories in a way attempting to illicit sympathy from it's readership. Yes, Nebraska farmers are going bankrupt due to #Trump immigration policies and tariffs, MAGAts are losing their Medicaid benefits, and immigrants (legal and non-ducumented) are being illegally deported. These are all groups that voted for Trump.

These should not be framed as sympathy stories, these should be framed as #FAFO cautionary tales. I know full well that MAGAt rubes generally will support their orange turd with all their ability, but I for one would appreciate any effort that might convince at least some of them to not vote or gasp vote for somebody that actually cares about them a little bit.

Gorilla Glass is made in Kentucky. It’s used in almost every phone and tablet. Gets shipped to China and has a tariff exacted. That’s added to the BOM. Glass is put into a thingie that gets shipped to the US where it’s hit with another tariff.

You pay for both, one way or another.

Eventually the thingie makers stop buying Gorilla Glass and go elsewhere. The Corning plant in Kentucky shuts down and hundreds of people are out of work in a little town with few other prospects. This is what they very likely voted for.

So what was the point again?

CNBCA rare look inside the factory that makes iPhone's Gorilla GlassCNBC got an inside look at Corning's oldest glass factory in Harrodsburg, Kentucky where Gorilla Glass is made. Corning makes the glass that covers 6 billion smartphones, tablets, screens and wearables worldwide for Apple, Samsung, LG, Sony, Huawei and a variety of other manufacturers.
