'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams (www.commondreams.org)

One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”

Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact... of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”

I think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness

I love Canada, but this holier than thou mindset I keep seeing is getting tired. Remember Poilievre was polling ~20 points higher than Carney, until Trump started his 51st state horse shit. The entire world seems to be swinging right, and Canada just got lucky this time.

We are all in this together whether you want to be or not.

Indeed. All of europe will fall if we don't get popular reform to challenge the far right, now backed by the US and Russia, running themselves as reform and all other major parties captured by the establishments/oligarchies.

this holier than thou mindset

It's totally okay not to project. It's okay to just be concerned and worried and insignificant like the rest of us without alienating your best refugee destination.
