Hier serviert @fragdenstaat.de unserer ach so sparwütigen Regierung quasi auf dem Silbertablett, wo sie nennenswertes Geld her kriegen können. Armen-Bashing muss aufhören. „Was kosten uns die Reichen?“ ist die eigentlich Frage, die Konsequenzen zur Folge haben muss!
Mic Drop!

Out with them
As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.

Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

Excellent.
In Wake Forest, a suburb of Raleigh, NC, the incumbent Mayor kowtowed to the scumbag leaders of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and last month rejected a bid to merely recognize the rights of the LGBTQ community to exist in her town. She was CRUSHED 70-30% in her reelection bid. 😎

Bonne question 🙂
Je vois encore un article sur les riches qui se barrent quand on leur parle de payer des impôts.
Ca m'inspire quand même une question : Pourquoi faut il les convaincre de rester, si de toute façon ils ne paient pas leur dû ? Ca sert à quoi ?

And we know how 100% that works.

I still do not understand how this all could happen. Just because voters are full of hate.
This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle.

This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

Larry Bushart, 61, spent over a month in jail over a liberal meme he posted on Facebook. He celebrated his freedom by eating wings, drinking margaritas — and posting a bunch more liberal memes on Facebook. Heart of a true boomer poster.

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail.
The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

This is the most obscenely wealthy, grotesquely cruel, offensively under qualified and incompetent, outrageously & blatantly corrupt, callously indifferent, brazenly self-serving, shamelessly deceitful administration in our country’s history. A hollow gold-plated autocracy destined to collapse.
