Ok Justin now you do likewise.

India suspends visas for Canadians as row escalates - BBC News

Justin Trudeau said he was not trying to "provoke" India in the row over the killing of a Sikh leader.

He isn’t gonna do likewise, is he.

Can’t be pissing off the CEO’s of Tim Hortons and Loblaws by chasing their cheap employee pipeline away now can we.

So there’s a video of a couple of groups of men of Arab descent having a brief skirmish on the streets in Lubeck, Germany and it was being posted in a few places online, which, whatever. It’s hardly the worst thing I’ve seen.

The only reason I’ve seen it though is because German police posted the below tweet which translates as “Danger!!! A video of a violent confrontation in Lübeck is currently circulating on social media! The police warn against further distribution of the video and call for it to be deleted!”, which is fucking insane and such a nod to the Streisand Effect.

Europe’s issue with migration right now is incredibly complex but shit like this is just straight gasoline on the idea that authorities are trying to tell you one thing when you’re seeing another.

The police responses to the replies here are equally fucked.

Gold Bars and a Luxury Car: Sen. Bob Menendez Charged With Taking Bribes

Prosecutors alleged the New Jersey Democrat accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts from three businessmen.

www.wsj.com

Anyway certain democrats are pushing him to resign right now, I bet he magically becomes a republican in the near future.

In the hours after the indictment, some fellow Democrats, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, called for Menendez to resign as senator. In response, Menendez said: “It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere.”

You will notice that as this is known, there are calls from Democrats for him to piss off.

However, this openly corrupt motherfucker:

Clarence Thomas Secretly Participated in Koch Network Donor Events

Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.

Nothing but crickets from the party that put him there.

Your NFTs Are Actually -- Finally -- Totally Worthless

New report from industry researchers finds that 95 percent of the once-hyped crypto assets have hit rock-bottom valuation

The US and the world is fucked

On the one hand, it's very early and polls can swing widely. On the other hand, how so many folks still want Trump to lead the country for four more years when you see how bad his first term was is quite shocking to me.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Great job!

Justin may want to turn off replies on this one lmao
