You just mentioned him 😁

This is what a rigged system looks like.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Saw a first yesterday in Wirral.

I have said many times I love to see all different countries flags flying together. When I see a single country flag flying, it has the opposite effect.

Isn’t this just shifting it down the line-or is it never paid?

Starbucks UK sales and number of shops increase but appears to pay no corporation tax.

The trick is profit shifting through intragroup transactions to low/no tax jurisdictions - royalty payments, management fees, interest on intragroup loans.

Company accounts comply with UK law but are opaque.

That’s what you call in charge of the buffet.

A duet would be nice.

…but he make many fuck with me.

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

Yep, he’s a winner in this category. Should be awarded the Nobrain Prize.

Nah! Leave him. The world deserves the pain until it changes for good.

Rhymes with Mozart.

"Trump's not conservative"

Oh no you don't. No no no no no.

I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that.

But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

That sentence is painful.

No prob. He’s back tomorrow.

Very unshellfish of you.

Early Zildjan?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Early Highland Games…

Congratulations to Donald Trump for having the largest US protest in history today comprised solely of people who hate him!

Seeing Trump’s face so shiny brown today makes me wonder how he doesn’t get arrested by ICE.

A great place to start. Hope you have a great experience.

I know we joke about it, but it's like a bad dream you never wake from. As long as I outlast the bastard to see him in his grave, I'll have hope.

I'm so fortunate to have nothing.

Not forgetting families and associates, I hope.

Lots of places like this in UK. Worth visiting the coasts if you ever get the chance. Wales and Scotland too.

I installed one at our offices in 2009 even though the staff are mainly women, it has never raised an issue-and yes, we took the urinal out and everyone gets to use the nice soap. 😀
