The key word is "suspected".

Do you want your government to summarily execute people and say, "we suspected her of being a criminal, so it's fine."

Do you want that to happen to you?

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

By the morals of their times,

Slavers were hated by those they enslaved
Rapists by those who they raped
Murderers by the survivors

The morals of the past are the same as today. Assholes are assholes

Actually, he was investigated and imprisoned in Hispaniola and then acquitted in Spain. So not actually held to account for his crimes, just a performance of justice. Sound familiar?

Leaders of Young Republican groups across the country talked about putting opponents in gas chambers, joked about raping their enemies, spread antisemitism and praised Hitler.

These are the people who pretend to be offended when called Nazis.

Where’s the GOP leadership outrage?

Getting a Saline Drip in the USA cost $800, and your insurance doesn't cover it.

Using an Ambulance costs $1500+$100 every minute, Insurance doesn't cover it.

Do you want Private Healthcare, really?

Hey Labour, when Human Rights groups raise the alarm about your policies, press pause and take a long, hard look at them! 🤨

👇The UN found Tories were breaching disabled people's rights.
Labour comes in with fairness & compassion right? 😬

Labour says, "Hold my Beer."

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Of course Brexit was a mistake.

A monumental act of self harm. Sold to the public by a self serving liar.

Him saying she could be sworn in whenever she wants and then still refusing to swear her in is not manufactured -- it is a factual account of his actions.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

"While Labour has moved further to the right in recent months as it tries to win back voters from Reform, polling suggests that the party is actually losing more support on its left to the Greens and Lib Dems."

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.
