Great question 👏

"Isn't there an argument to strengthen ties with the superpower on the continent, the European Union?"

How Trump and SCOTUS Have Frustrated Federal Courts Between the administration’s lawlessness and the high court’s radicalism, lower court judges are hung out to dry.

But no-one to arrest..... Odd

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
