When an authoritarian regime murders people in the streets, we all hope that the people will finally manage to rise up, overthrow the tyrant, run them out of town or bring them to justice.

It happened in Ukraine. It happened in Bangladesh. I guess we can just cross our fingers and hope.

trump the type of messy bitch who could have the ideal internationally-accepted face for his wildly illegal imperial adventure and throw it away because she won the nobel prize and he didn't
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."
