No. No. No.
The Trump regime is pushing for Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Italy to leave European Union, this is the latest ploy by MAGA to weaken support for Ukraine and help Russia. Trump's inner circle is hoping to plunder Ukraine's territories and dissolve the EU for financial gain.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.
