So uh..."Reunion" island has a 73% tariff on imports by us? How dare those penguins!

I think my body would have given out long before I ran out of things to say about Trump. I would have started with Plato, and ended with a litany of insults, everything that could possibly conceived by mankind. A 20 hour "Zaporizhian Cossack's response to the Sultan", but even more scathing.

I thought it was kinda cool he was mad at Trump for 24 hours straight. This shit takes a lot of physical effort, especially for a 55 year old.

Highly performative though. Not saying it was useless, because it definitely was a statement. It was not yet a "step in the right direction, but at least a "slight bend of the neck to maybe someday start looking in the right direction". Now I would like every other congressional Democrat to follow it up with something. Furiously voting against absolutely everything the MAGA terrorists propose, no matter what. Call Mike Johnson a cuck live on C-Span, every day. Lock MTG in the bathroom. Create 100 policy proposals for the docket, every day and from everyone until the .txt list is 500 Petabyte big.

Shut congress down. Completely, until Trump is gone. This is war.

Constantinople.

Maybe I forgive you in 600 more years. Probably not.

Oh absolutely. We used to not give kids names until they were 3 years or so old. To not get attached.

Is it okay yet to admit that Israelis and zionists are evil, or still not acceptable no matter how many other cultures they are genociding? I'm not going down the rabbit hole of "jews" because I personally know many other jews who are completely horrified by what Israel is doing in their name. But it begs the question. If this is the end-result...do jews "really" need or deserve their own homeland? Did so many of them survive an effort to genocide them, only to do the exact same to others now for no other reason than grabbing clay and religious fanaticism?

If the I in "AIPAC" stood for "Italy", people would have questions...

Yeah. Both on r/worldnews and r/europe. Not in smaller national subreddits though, where people are up in arms about the Europe comments. I don't understand why Reddit would seek to censor these leaks, as they are already disseminated across the MSM everywhere.

I think they realize this. Their latest messaging is "get active, go out into the streets, do something". This is as much a call to action as it is an admission of helplessness on part of the Democrats. And while I support that message, I hope they also understand the fight is NOT being waged on behalf of Democrats, who need to transform as much as the GOP has or better yet disappear and make space for something better.

Not by voting, but tomorrow I will hold up a sign near a road for 2 hours. Trump will have no choice but to step down after that.

Trump and gang is trying to have AOC charged for terrorism, so it seems to be working. She should either get DNC leadership now or finally form her own party.

Not a legal expert, but sounds to me the entire case has been mishandled and all charges are to be dropped immediately.
