America is now a place that sends masked secret police to abduct people off the street and uses prisoners to create government propaganda.
And this all happened in 8 weeks. www.thebulwark.com/p/this-is-th...

It's kinda crazy that they have to be THIS worried about the North country (NY). Also kinda hilarious that Elise now gets stuck with a relatively powerless congressional seat since the Republicans basically don't do anything now but rubber-stamp the executive branch.
🚨 NOMINATION PULLED
Trump announces he is pulling Elise Stefanik's nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations.
The White House was concerned about the Republicans' slim majority in the House.

When a politician tells you it's your duty to sacrifice for THEIR principles, it's time to start building guillotines.

Who the fuck thought Canada needed to be stood up against? Fucking insanity.
Karoline Leavitt just said Americans are grateful to “finally have a president who’ll stand up to Canada.” I can tell, you as Vermonter, we have long lived in terror of Big Maple. Thank you, President Trump, for protecting us from the poutine terror state!
