This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face.
By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.
By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.
Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

When a stock's prices moves a lot, the NYSE halts trading in that stock for 30 minutes. On Monday March 17 (just tried an arbitrary Monday), there were 30 such circuit breakers triggered.

Como a guerra das tarifas nos poderá afetar?
Donald Trump promete e já está a usar tarifas para travar importações. A política protecionista vai ter consequências? Miguel Faria e Castro é professor e economista na FED no Banco de Saint Louis.

JFK conspiracy theorist dies, goes to heaven. God receives him: "You may ask me one question." -"Who shot Kennedy?" God replies, "Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. He acted alone". Theorist thinks: "This goes higher up than I thought!"
