161 years is NOTHING for a country. Almost all other major nations are a millenium or older.

The city I lived in before this one was founded in 1776 and the one I live in now is about a thousand years older. We have buildings still standing that are 5 times as old as the US or older.

Chorizo de la libertad? 🤷

And one of the very few who’s both aware of and HONEST about what a minority party CAN legally and ethically do to sabotage the fascist machine.

Both of those people will be out come November

They might be reelected to office

but they’re done as congressional leaders.

Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn’t stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they’d be fired.

Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

*read: probably

I couldn’t agree more and I KNOW that mine won’t since our current foreign minister is still former prime minister and always corrupt piece of shit Lars Løkke

That’s part of the reason why they’d need to be careful about it.

¿Por que no los dos?

Very carefully.

Fucking Bret Stephens 🤦🤬

It’s his kink.
