I endorse this! In fact I endorse this so much, I think we should have an entire department that oversees this! Maybe something about protecting consumers! That would be amazing!
President Trump on Friday called for a one-year cap limiting credit card interest rates to 10%, but offered no details on how he planned to enact such a policy, which would typically require congressional or regulatory action.
Trump Wants 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates, After Killing Other Fee Limits

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Germany is a big country. It's taken the police in Germany 50 years to shoot 500 German citizens to death. From 1975 until now. That's including the period of civil unrest prior to reunification.
US police will shoot 500 people before 4th of July weekend, then will shoot another 500 by Christmas.🤷🏿♂️
