Mistakenly Driving To Canada Leads To Venezuelan Man Being ‘Disappeared’ To Notorious El Salvador Prison
And it turns out it was the car, only they spray-painted the word “van” on the side.
Might embolden a few others to join in.
Any “STOP!” will be due to Ukraine’s efforts, and the EU supplying weaponry and systems and many billions of dollars in aid. Ukraine could end up with a total victory and with all territories returned and Trump will claim that he stopped the war.
Years ago, I got blocked in traffic and couldn’t get out of the access lane to the tunnel to Canada. (My response to the friendly worker who asked me “would you like to go to Canada today?” was a slightly panicked “no, thank you.” ) They got me turned around and back on my way to work without too much trouble… but from what I hear, there’s no easy way to back out if you get stuck at the Bridge.
This whole thing is so horrible.
To be fair, it won’t impact Trump much because the resorts and hotels that he owns largely exist to (lightly) launder bribes to him.
“…and wealthy people would leave the United States.”
Even if he isn’t talking about those now with fake business expenses, offshore tax havens, and shell companies… so what.
When these were first noticed, someone pointed out that some of the wall icons are the same as the ones on the fireplace, like they bought too many at TJ Maxx and decided to just hang them up randomly.
With the more powerful and monied EU members substantially backing up Ukraine; Russian soldier defections; inevitable anti-Putin individuals and cabals; the hit on the Russian economy; and anti-Trump groups in Russia gaining attention and traction, I’d say that Putin has his hands full.
And when we’re talking about billionaires, the response should be “Oh, no! We’ll lose out on the 0% taxes that they pay! Some other country will get to collect that 0%!!!”
We should just place domestic and international tariffs on their purchases including stocks, bonds, crypto, real estate etc.
Those aren’t taxes.
Trump right now:
It’s also so weird seeing Trump casually calling him “Vladimir” like that. Can you imagine how many heads would explode if another world leader addressed Trump as “Donald”?
FDR (a man no stranger to wealth and privilege): "A number of my friends who belong in the very high upper brackets have suggested to me on several occasions of late, that if I am reelected president, they will have to move to some other nation because of high taxes here. [beat] Now, I will miss them very much…”
Trump: “Ugh, taxes, right? If we make the wealthy pay taxes, they might leave, and continue … not paying taxes!”
Swedish ivy has the ability to propagate from clippings of the plant that are replanted in soil. Propagations of the Oval Office Swedish ivy have historically been a common gift to White House staffers, and are highly sought after by collectors.
At least that means it’s still out there. I wouldn’t be surprised if they killed the original just because they could and because Obama and Clinton liked it
In 2022, essayist Jamie Kirkpatrick wrote on the Oval Office Swedish ivy after anonymously being gifted a propagation, writing "Swedish ivy, like its more traditional ivy cousins, represents many things, among them eternity, fidelity, commitment, and loyalty.
Yeah, I see why they took it away
Well maybe that and the fact that it’s originally from Africa, and we all know how Trump feels about that continent.
