This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.

This isn’t going to end well.

Vermutlich die Schlagzeile, die die grenzdebile Ignoranz, Erkenntnisverweigerung und geistige Umnachtung des deutschen Journalismus auf den Punkt bringt.

TRUMP: Which one was that?

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

I agree 100% with this post. The media's double standard on Trump makes us realize they aren't journalists at all. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-poop...
Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?
For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

Die leeren Geschäfte haben vor allem mit einer Kommunalpolitik zu tun, die es großen Investoren wie ECE gestatten, gigantische Malls zu bauen, die den kleinen, alt eingesessenen, inhabergeführten Geschäften mit Billo-Scheiß das Wasser abgraben und nach 5 Jahren vergammeln, weil nix investiert wird.

Ja, wir haben Probleme in vielen Innenstädten: Obdachlosigkeit, Verelendung, Drogenkranke, leere Geschäfte. Hat alles nur nichts mit Migration zu tun, sondern mit chronisch unterfinanzierten Kommunen und unserem Kaufverhalten.

Three children lost their lives in workplace-related incidents across Turkey in a week, all employed in labor-intensive sectors. Experts argue that the government is incentivizing child labor to help keep businesses afloat amid economic difficulties.

'Businesses employ two children in place of one adult at same cost'
Recent child worker deaths reflect government policies that push children into low-wage labor to sustain small and mid-sized businesses, argues Kansu Yıldırım from the Health and Safety Labor Watch.
