Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

The footage of Krusti Gnome getting comprehensively bollocked is so life-affirming. Genuinely recommended for anyone who needs a pick-me-up.

Republican Lays Into Kristi Noem Over 'Disaster' at DHS Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was grilled by Thom Tillis and other Republicans at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had her ass handed to her during a congressional hearing on Tuesday β€” and not just by Democrats.

Obviously a lot of it is the promise of luxury but I wonder if some of it is also "unlike other places, we won't make you feel guilty about being mean to the locals and the servants because we are also mean to them"

If MAGA really cared, they'd let everyone into the US and give them immediate citizenship, why not? If the US is going to invade their countries and liberate them anyway, you might as well give the population a head start to assimilate to US greatness. Open the borders.
