🚨 This is a video for Tizzy. Where is this? Who is this “man?” I have never seen a cop punch a woman or slam her into the ground. And the brazenness of doing it in front of children and passersby’s. Fuck this.

Trudeau finally dumped her? Can't blame him.

Genau.

Den Friedensnobelpreis just jenem Präsidenten zu widmen, der in diesen Tagen das Militär auf die eigenen Leute hetzt, ist eine Entscheidung.

Die Situation in den USA ist kein zu vernachlässigender Nebenwiderspruch.

If they ever get around to infrastructure week, the event should definitely be memorialized.

Sadly, there's a govt shutdown. And this 'person' has a helium addiction.

Your first sentence doesn't need to be true if the second sentence is true. I believe that is the case. They're playing government and don't care about legalities. Authoritarians tend to be like that.

When you can't answer a simple civics question, and your only lifeline is Noem, that might be a sign you're in waaay over your head.

They look related. And fancy sexual abuse. I predict a pardon and a cushy diplomat post in his future.

You really have to treat half the American people (or more) as a historical dead end. They are not redeemable. The only hope is for their children and grandchildren to ask why and reflect.

The last sentence 👌. The nazi regime was fine for regular Germans until it wasn't. The horrors the nazis started with were accepted, so long as it was still possible for them to go to a restaurant or pub. It's part of the plan. When things suck for regular Americans, it'll be too late.

Don't get Christ confused with republican Jesus. One healed the ill, while the other offered thoughts and prayers to white Christians, not the weird ones, who were kinda hot, because what else can you do.

I assume there will be tariffs placed on Madeleine Dean's household for this.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Damn auto correct, the last word should have been evangelicals. Actually nevermind, extremists works just as well.

International law doesn't apply over there, and human rights apply only to white Christian extremists.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.
