also worth remembering that the US economy isn't doing as great as the giant wotsit says, and there are elections coming up which needs an alternative narrative.

ICE just shot and killed a protester in Minneapolis.

Speaking during a news conference on Wednesday, Mayor Jacob Frey said he wasn't buying Homeland Security's narrative that ICE agents were acting in self-defense.

"So they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of [the shooting] myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit," said Mayor Frey.

Frey said he had viewed videos of the shooting and he feels "this was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying."

[Paddingtonwolf]

Soooo

inbetween waging illegal wars to get oil and threatening border integrity for minerals, Fuckface von Clownstick has also withdrawn from a mere 66 UN organisations, many of which are about climate control, as global warming is all a hoax and fake news in his fat orange head. Stupid cunt.

The language coming from govt agencies and Trumpists is starting to sound a lot like what you'd expect from China, Russia, N Korea etc.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Starting to...?

Starting to...?

Fair, but it certainly seems to be ramping up more.

US Senate advances war powers resolution to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela

Democratic-led resolution would require US president to seek Congress’s approval to use military against Venezuela

"On January 24, AD 41, Emperor Caligula was assassinated by officers of his own Praetorian Guard, due to his tyrannical and destabilising rule and erratic behavior. He was deemed such an unpredictable risk to the future of the empire, that his own guards were left with no other choice but to break their solemn oath of loyalty.

During his reign Caligula became increasingly more paranoid and hostile to the Senate. The emperor considered the senators as the main obstacle to his absolutist rule and blamed them for conspiracies, both real and imagined. No wonder that in only four years of his reign, Caligula made numerous enemies, including among leaders of nations allied to Rome.

Just sayin', America".
