we see this scene reenacted every day, around the world

For the record, comissioned sales is the devil's work and a shit job. Your next meal depends on bullshitting people into buying something. Now mix in a situation where integrity is the only dividing line between doing extremely dishonest shit to get that sale. There are *libraries* on the subject.

“Suspect in Minnesota shootings in custody” (WP).
This is terrible. None of the 3 top U.S. newspapers dared to state what happened:
A fanatical “Christian” republican priest murdered a democratic politician.
Tell us the truth, cowards! ./2

Theory on why immigration encounters and deportation numbers go up when there's a Dem in office: Rep's keep telling immigrants the borders are open... Direct, repeated false advertising, INVITING extra-legal immigration when its just 'rhetoric' aka plain bs.

Has any reporter asked LAPD leadership about the vid evidence of directly shooting at reporters and photographers? Need to know their ROEs.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

I don't want immigrants out.
I want HIM out. He talks about "animals"! He's the one tearing our people and country apart.
I stand with immigrants.
I stand with the rule of law, and due process as a fundamental right.
To those threatened and afraid: I am #OnYourSide.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
