There was a certain period in the old Twitter days where we in Australia would wake up only to find that overnight a new meme had taken hold, and the entire website was already so many layers deep in spins and references that the whole thing was totally incomprehensible by the time we woke up

anyway I’m glad the fediverse has managed to replicate this

So, America's Trumpster Fire is spreading. This regime is the most aggressive cancer the world has ever known.

#Colombia held its presidential runoff on Sunday. The preliminary results show a razor-thin victory for Abelardo de la #Espriella, a far-right multimillionaire with no prior political experience, over left-wing Senator Iván #Cepeda, by a margin of 49.66% to 48.70%, in an election riddled with fraud allegations, in a country with a long and unambiguous history of American interference in its democratic processes.

The winner is a #US citizen who became naturalized in 2023, owns a $5.1 million home in Miami, ran businesses in Florida for years, is a registered #Republican, and voted for Donald Trump in 2024. He was openly endorsed by Trump, who celebrated his ‘BIG’ victory on Truth Social.

He has pledged to ‘disembowel the left,’ move Colombia’s embassy to #Jerusalem, and restore full diplomatic and military ties with #Israel.

People are not pleased.
