telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

And first manifesto commitment is “invade Poland.”
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Even a decade into this farce the brazenness with which he boasts about stealing resources from a neighbor by force is shocking. Even the old colonial powers at least *pretended* to have some higher aim than pure plunder.

Coming back to this with my car hating hat on because it's worth noting how often right-wingers have used vehicles to attack protesters, and in fact, Republican lawmakers have passed laws that shield drivers if they hit protesters. Like this one in Florida.

“Stop calling us Nazis,” says Nazi saying Nazi things.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"
