End qualified immunity! It is time to hold the police accountable.
An Uber Driver told me the story of how he and his immediate family got out of Afghanistan by land after supporting the US for years. He barely made it out. My thoughts are with him and his family this Thanksgiving!
Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration?
TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*

My team and I have been able to discern that sperm whales have their own alphabet and that this alphabet seems to be pillared by their own version of vowels. I’ve learned that humans are far from the only species intelligent and complex enough to develop a form of language and culture.

The US is extorting Zelenskyy to sign away territory Russia doesn't even hold, as well as Ukraine's ability to defend itself, on the basis of Putin's word he'll honor a peace and Trump's word the US will make him.
Just so we're clear what's happening here.

He should never have been allowed to step into the White House, but since he did, the reporter did an excellent job! And that it was a female reporter added to the murderer's humiliation. Hardly justice for the murder though.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

During his meeting with high school students in Slovakia, PM Fico said that EU would allocate money "to continue the war" in Ukraine.
When the students objected, he told them to go to Ukraine if they support the war.
