the remaining differences are mostly about aesthetics and not about the use of violence to maintain hegemony

    Crazy to see people smile benignly while US Presidents shake hands with Saudi Kings and Egyptian Dictators, only to discover their love for democracy when a socialist they don’t like secures a 7-pt election lead.

    If the J6ers had all been Venezuelan, I wonder if liberals would have stood back and let Congress get lynched?

        That one was honestly hilarious. Kashoggi was a total swamp monster, but he ended up with the wrong faction in the power struggle in Sa so he got butchered. Karma.

          I thought I remembered something weird but still that was gruesome. If execution must be done, quickly and humanely, but I’m generally opposed to the death penalty.

          Can you point me to some links regarding why he was not great?

          Thanks
