Gavin Newsom needs to make up for his recent shambolic appearance on Ben Shapiro's show, which harkens to his prior missteps early in Hair Furor's second reign of error. This is part of that effort, and it might work in the ADHD addled media age.

Thanks in large part to a feckless political class that did not want to do the necessary dirty work of confronting him when they had the opportunity. Also, add the Tech Bros whose lust for $$ & power surpasses their first Gilded Age spiritual forebearers.

It would appear as if the spinelessness disease that afflicts Chucky Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries, among others, has spread to Portugal.

Expecting them to do anything other than compete to see who can be the most obsequious is an exercise in futility.

They need to follow the example of Denmark, which is threatening to cut off the insulin (65%), Ozembic (100%), any services provided by the likes of Maersk, to the USA. Cue ‘Fight Fire With Fire’ by Metallica.

I suspect not enough of them ever experienced the joy of standing up to the schoolyard bully.

Someone might want to tell Ventura that ignoring international law is the domain of superpowers & pariah states. Portugal hasn’t the former for centuries, & can’t afford the latter. Not that his cult members are aware of those salient facts.

Congrats / Parabéns.

The alleged 'newspaper of record' has been demonstrably a rag since they published Judith Miller's Iraq War lies. They aren't even running on fumes anymore.
