🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Yeah, but he's a white rural American, so he's allowed to say it.

But also, they feel like real people. Yes, it's a fantasy, but it feels real and compelling.

Q: "You mentioned a $1,300 drug?"

Trump: "Ya, I was referring to Ozempic, or the fat loss drug."

Q: "Those are going to be $150 out of pocket?"

Trump: "They'll be much lower."

Dr. Oz, interjecting: "We have not negotiated those yet...Ozempic has not been negotiated yet."

I think at this point Sliwa is well aware that he won't beat Mamdani, and is even okay with Mamdani winning (I believe he's said as much), but believes he has a mandate now to utterly crush Cuomo.

That initial promise of reddit seems to have been a Trojan Horse. Turns out the inconvenience was also a deterrent to the Worst People You Know finding their way to every woodworking board you're on and ruining each one.

"Gays should not exist," still feels like eliminationist language, simply because of the implied resolution to the contradiction that they, in fact, do.
