Hear me out…what if we actually took advantage of the 2nd amendment? What if protesters were legally armed?
1. ICE cowards would back down quick-like.
2. Civil war, which would be devastating but do we really have any recourse at this point, considering the absolute lawlessness of the administration

Not even in the top 100 worst ethical lapses in Trump's presidency, but the Secretary of Labor apparently had her staffers create fraudulent records of fake work trips so she could take time off (and have an affair with a subordinate)

Budget : sur les traces de l’amendement technique qui coûte 2 milliards d’euros au gouvernement
Adoptée fin 2023, une disposition modifiant rétroactivement l’« exit tax » devrait finalement coûter bien plus cher que prévu. Un dérapage qui s’explique en partie par la mauvaise qualité du débat budgétaire depuis 2022.

With the communications blackout, news out of Iran is thin on the ground. But the little that makes it out shows a population undeterred by the regime’s brutal, bloody crackdown. Many seem to think this is an existential fight.

Fighting the Brexit reset means scrapping Erasmus again and telling businesses that red tape, queues and cost are the price they should all pay for Farage’s petulant prejudice.

What a very tiresome bore of a man shouting at us in his soiled Brexit pants.

Obama was a huge mistake. I thought so at the time, but who could have imagined that nearly a quarter of a century later, a burning resentment of Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize would be one of our President’s driving motivations?

That some people from the UK still want to undermine our EU is sad.

They might find that it is not something that will gain them any popularity here. Not that they care about the locals of course.

…more than generous.

The EU has no reason whatsoever for undermining itself.

That a very limited few none citizens have an issue is of zero relevance when measure against undermining the EU which would be a major problem for 450+ million EU citizens.
