Have you noticed that Trump is trying to lay claim to any areas that have a coastline that comes along with exclusive economic zones? When I say it's about Russia wanting access to the world's resources, I'm not joking. Saudi Arabia has already said they plan to own all the energy.

This administration is A LOT of shitty things...but the shittiest thing it is is a barely disguised (if at all) White Nationalist Attempted Takeover.
This administration is racist as hell. They don't care about anyone, but they're scared of and particularly hate POC.

It rather looks as if 🇺🇸 has moved the goal posts on the 🇺🇦 peace deal, caving into territorial demands by 🇷🇺 that the whole of Donbas should be ceded to Russia….more land than Russia has seized in its illegal war.
What’s the justification?
I can’t see that sticking.

We should have all known that the moment progressives pulled out their own guns and the black panthers were back in the news defending their communities, that would be the time for common sense gun control. Not 20 some school shootings back, don't be silly.

Even as a singular word, your assertion is incorrect. As defined by the term “murder,” it is a serious crime. When one begins to nitpick over idioms, it often indicates a loss of position in the debate.
