If you’re wondering how the Overton window has shifted since the CDC shooting, they bombed a research building at Harvard where a friend works yesterday and as far as I can tell 99% of people on here have no idea / it’s received no notable coverage outside the Crimson

You should see what he is doing to Americans
The naked emperor, big peace prize nominee, saying we are going to intervene now in Nigeria? Wherever Christians across the world are "attacked" or what? I'm confused.
Also we make commitments like this while folks go without paychecks, food, healthcare? America first? What's that?
