Dubai is a particularly rotten world, built and maintained by slaves on the background.

The Dubai authorities are clamping down on any mention of the war.

It’s not war…it’s more. Yes more, it’s just a new feature. Power fireworks for your Uber enjoyment.

Yeah, just read up on the Dubai Porta Potty to learn about how influencers work there

Is there anything more pathetic than an influencer? I’m not sure.

Influencer faking to be a socialite?

Being an influencer in Dubai and pretending the things you get paid to do on camera is what gets uploaded to social media…

We need to call 'influencers' what they really are, a salesperson.

Begpackers IMHO.

Just wait until a few Iranian drones find their way into the US. Donald will love it, as historically, any attack on America has translated into Americans begging for authoritarians to become more authoritarian.

Imagine being a douchebag and only a douchebag such that you have to become proud of being a douchebag because there is nothing else there to offer. Really incredible.
