This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

There's something so low-rent about Vance at Munich that it's hard for Europe to feel attacked in the manner he intends. These guys are visibly not up to the task they think they've set themselves. I'd worry about their chaos more than their ideology.

Farage saying the quiet part out loud. He only cares about sexual exploitation when the offenders are Pakistani and the victims are white.
