Khalyava - from Wikipedia:
In Russian culture, khalyava / by khalyava (Russian: халява, на халяву) is an untranslatable concept, similar to the concepts of "freebie" and "getting something for nothing", however with a different semantic field.[1]
Khalyava is a possibility to get something without particular effort.[1] A distinction is that khalyava is something free one is not normally entitled to. It may be a result of luck. For comparison, if your friend gives you a ticket inviting you to go to the movies, it is not khalyava, if it is part of your normal relations, but if he gives you a ticket because his wife cannot go, then it is khalyava.[2] Another possibility is that one gets something free in a way of dubious morality or legality, but not outright criminal.[3]
The "something" you get is not necessarily something tangible; it may be a possibility to get something, e.g., to buy a rare book by a lucky occasion, i.e., "by khalyava".[2]
A slightly different meaning for "khalyava" is an easy, low-effort job.[1]
Both meanings are given in the Sergey Ozhegov's lexicographic dictionary, but absent in Vladimir Dahl's.[4]
A person who is good at getting a khalyava is called khalyavnik or khalyavshchik, which may simply mean "a lucky man". However khalyava may come at the expense of others. In the first case it may be eating at restaurants at other's expense; in the second meaning this involves a skill to dump the hard part of the job on others. In this case "khalyavshchik" becomes pejorative and reasonably corresponds to "freeloader" or "free rider".[1]

Why did Kamala lose? Because she was an unqualified, moronic DEI hack who never should have been running in the first place, that's why!
Seriously, are those Leftist Idiots calling Trump “Hitler” again? The Democratic party has really hit rock bottom when they resort to calling President Trump a “Hitler”! . Hell Biden's former press secretary was even calling for VIOLENCE, saying Democrats need to break some shit. I would point out that they have always been bat shit crazy, And Maxine Waters is at it again, telling her group ou Progressive Lunatics to “stick it in their Faces”. There seems to be NO Limit to their Insanity!
Trump just forced them out into the open., and to come out from under the Rocks. . So that everyone could see what Lunatics they actually are! Will liberals ever learn the name calling doesn’t work!. These Progressive lunatics always seem to find some bizarre way to inject Hitler into any of their discussions. It's like their obsessed with calling anyone that hey hate . In this case, the stench is coming from liberals/Progressives like Dave Dubya, the Idiot at the Progressive blog . Aren't these people who are calling Trump a “Hitler” the same liberals and Progressives that are protesting in support of the Palestinians, Hamas, and driving the Jews "from the river to the sea"? Do they even realize what Idiots they sound like? And that never says a Bad Word about the Demented Fool that is currently occupying the White House! And who is teying his demented best to destroy the United States!
The Democratic/Progressive party is slowly but Surely disappearing and its base has become shambles and a shell of it self. the democratic officials like Chuck Schumer, and Adam Shiff who are dispirited just like their base is despondent. To the extent they don’t seem to have much fight in them, that shouldn’t be too surprising; their voters don’t, either. All that seems to to be left is that bunch of moronic idiots that are standing on the streets singing those moronic songs and making fools out of themselves, who think that singing those dumb , stupid songs that are led by the Big Mouthed Idiot Maxine Waters, and Elizabeth Warren are really meaningful.
In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli forensic has confirmed that the body sent back with the Bibas children WAS NOT THEIR MOTHER, SHIRI. In fact, the DNA does not match any known hostage. They just sent back a random body. This Is a serious violation of thee agreement.
Where is shiri Bibas???
Oh and by the way, the forensic team also confirmed that the Bibas children were brutally murdered a month after they were taken hostage.
This is Sick and twisted and anyone who defends these monsters is Sick and twisted too.
Fred Trump Junior was supposed to take the reigns of his father's real estate empire, but he wanted to be a pilot instead. And so donald took his place. Is that an example of what you're talking about?
btw, later donald stole his brother's inheritance from his niece and nephew. That was definitely of dubious morality or legality. Must not have been outright criminal, given that Mary Trump's lawsuit was dismissed. Even though donald lied about the value of his father's estate and quite clearly ripped off Mary Trump and her brother in regards to their rightful inheritance.
Poor Mary!
Who are you to decide she has enough? That excuses stealing? Can I break into a rich person's house and take what I want because they have money in the bank and their insurance will pay? I can say "poor baby" in court and the judge will say, "You're right. case dismissed"?
No but you can applaud the murder of health insurance executives and raise money for Luigi's defense cuz "CEOs Bad!"
I could, but I do not. And I never have. Even though you keep insisting I am. Or that it's Left-aligned people who are (with no evidence at all).
Why would I applaud a murder that has and will not even accomplish anything? CEOs are lowering prices and approving claims in fear of being murdered? Or are they making sure their CEOs are well protected?
People applauding Luigi's murder and contributing to his defense are idiots. Maybe you gave money to his defense.
You say a lot of things that you contradict in practice.
Your wokism is "instrumentalist".
Minus: You say a lot of things that you contradict in practice.
You follow me around and observe what I do "in practice"? Or did you hire a PI to follow me around and report back to you? Maybe you believed Mystere and hired a PI to follow Anthony Sanders? Because I'm not that person. I don't know what he does "in practice". I have no idea what his politics are.
You pretend to hate racism. You talk a good game against "white supremacy" but won't criticize a single black person (not a Republican) of their own blatant racism, support of racist policies, or "cracker" immorality. When was the last time you said anything critical of a black Democrat? Have you ever?
That makes you a racist, "in practice".
...and your sublimated white guilt-pride keeps you a forever racist.
...in practice.
Minus: your your sublimated white guilt-pride...
...is nonexistent. I've explained this to you many times. I don't feel guilty and I don't feel pride in regards to my nonexistent guilt. Why would I feel guilty about something I had nothing to do with? I've got plenty of things I actually did that I can feel guilty about. I don't feel guilty about things other people did. That's ridiculous.
Though, even if I had any of this imaginary "guilt pride", I don't know how that would make me a racist.
FYI, I agree 100 percent with all of Melanie Phillips's projections. You've proven conclusively on this blog that you are completely unreachable.
btw, Scientology is pure stupidity.
Also, the right will never reach me re White Supremacy. I'm never going to agree that it's great. And I don't care if you think that means I'm in a cult.
I'm sure there are many people in Gaza that hate Jewish people. Many more now than before.
