It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.
Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'
None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

OF COURSE it was going to come to this... Indiana now saying it's not enough for adult websites to block people in response to state age-verification law—since VPNs exist, they're still in violation.
That leaves 3 options for porn platforms: check IDs, don't exist, or block all VPNs...

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

She was also dragged across the pavement by her wrist.”

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.
