WTF: Warum gibt es dazu keinen Brennpunkt und keine Sondersendung.
Das Deutschland, dass wir kriegstüchtig verteidigen sollen, bricht uns unter unserem Hintern weg, und (fast) keinen juckts.

I'm floored.

This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.

This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.

The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.

There will be no kings.
