Tearing down the ballroom would be another scandalous waste of money and environmentally damaging. But a chunk of it could become the People’s Palace, which would really annoy the old regime and could be used for all sorts of interesting events and…whatever.

Yes, but no leader of a democratic country, even a village idiot, should be able to overturn the rule of law!

I agree. But don't bother with the vote!

Well, I don’t think she shares our values.

But how is it possible in a democracy for the head of a country to override the courts so easily? How is this autocracy allowed?

That does not seem like a democracy, that a president can simply decide to cancel court and jury criminal verdicts.

You are so clear about this.

So, Dem voters have been getting flyers telling them to vote on Dec 3rd, and Repubs are getting flyers too, telling them that everyone will KNOW if they don’t turn out to vote. Free and fair elections 😂😂

And yet educators should be the very ones you should expect to protect truth, facts and free speech.

It’s a weird democratic system that allows the head of a country to in effect overrule the courts and juries and set random people free. I cannot believe it goes on in any other halfway civilised country.

One of those interesting photos where only one person, on the left, seems to have really clocked what's happening.

As someone corrected me, there‘s no war, it’s just murder.

Well maybe it worked for a while, huh.

Though wonder which he’d be charged with if he landed up in court 🧐

Yes indeedy!

Correction: He’s a war criminal and should be tried immediately.

As clear a war crime as you can get.
