Seems like we have bigger foreign policy priorities than attempting to interfere with domestic politics in Germany.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Good Night World

Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government?

Cory Booker gave us the assignment. Let’s start this Saturday at Hands Off nationwide.
