Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Notwithstanding everything else, the fact that they fired six more shots standing ten feet away from Pretti after he was already shot in the back three times and lay motionless on the ground dying, should be cause in and of itself to arrest and charge these goons.

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ last night, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleagues, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻

What would America look like without Stephen Miller? You would be able to walk the streets without fear of being abducted by masked militia. Your kids would go to a public school that had more empathy and safety. Classrooms would be filled with laughter and learning.
