A Czech investigation found that a factory owned by the billionaire former prime minister, Andrej Babiš, should have been the prime suspect in an environmental disaster. But the prosecutors and courts looked elsewhere.

Considering the US Dems have swung so heavily to the Right, that whoever's left on the Left is currently not represented...

It probably was, but the universe has a penchant for getting _very_ interesting

Whoa, hold on a sec! I meant one of them, not both at once!
Joke aside, yeah... that's something else I've been following since the Pandemic, we're in for a lot of chop health-wise. Can't wait for a fucking bird flu pandemic... Again! Maybe we can do mad cow's next, since we're rebooting the classics!
Not to mention the as-of-yet unforeseen consequences of severe climate degradation! We meme about TLoU for instance, "haha, mushroom zombie apocalypse, haha," but chances are really good what we'll actually see is a massive increase in fungal infection rates and severity.
It's the mother of all cascade failures.

Oh don't you worry, we'll probably get a plague too in the not too distant future; things are looking pretty spooky with H5N1. Even if that shit got 20x less virulent after making the jump to mammals, it'd still be 10x worse than SARS-CoV-2.
The good part about a proper flu pandemic would be that it'd kill proportionally more conservatives since they're fucking morons who can be made to think vaccines have 5G tracking chips and/or demons in them. Yes, millions and millions of decent people would die too, but if we're going to have a pandemic might as well enjoy the positives…

I'd rather deal with the Plague than with these assholes, at least that one didn't fucking talk...

Psychopaths everywhere have realised that now's their time to shine, and reich-wingers are absolutely eating that shit up. They're just salivating at the thought of serving a fascist moron

To be honest the comparison with Trump is bit harsh.
Because of how fucked up are American politics all the populists and right wing parties are compared to him.
In fact he has closer ties to democrats in USA than to republicans. But that doesn't mean that he isn't populist, political chameleon and sometimes in his retorics gets bit to the extreme to catch most possible votes.

Oh, c'mooon! Give us at least a couple of weeks between them! Feels like there's a fucking Trump popping up every Thursday, I swear!
God, I hate this period of our existence...

Earlier this year, a train also derailed near Bečva and hundreds of tons of benzene were spilled or burned. It is the biggest benzene disaster to date, and will take an ungodly amount of effort to clean up.

Too bad his non-populist successor Fiala came during the Covid crisis and a recession, and despite his great effort to tackle both we're likely to see a "Trump-Biden-Trump" situation in this year's parliamentary elections.
