The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Excerpts from the press release for the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. If MAGA and Trump had any self awareness, they would read this and understand why he had no shot of winning it, despite their protestations.

Do we forget he personally ordered the strike on Iran during that very war, which easily could have ended in open war with Iran and will 100% result in a 9/11 retaliation?
Possibly with nuclear material.
Also the US is the main weapon supplier for Israel.
Nothing screams peace here 😡

German "Rouladen" I made a couple of days ago.

That's thinly sliced beef. You put thin mustard on one side, add some onions, 2 slices of bacon and pickled cucumber slices. Then you roll it up. Fry at high temperature, then set aside. Sauce with parts red wine. Cook for 90-120 min. Spätzle as side.

I tried to cover my envy with that pun.. I am sorry. We should not even joke about that. 😁
Cheers my friend.

Although the (wealthy) father of a good friend actually did that and when I asked him why he just said "why not?". I cried a little.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone of when Trump gave an address to 1500 Conservatives in front of a fake presidential seal containing the Russian Eagle and some golf clubs.

As we know from Comey, Trump makes the lawyers gargle his balls for at least 250 pages before the 1 page containing the indictment.
