It only took the US 72 years, but it looks like it’s really turned that corner towards unabashed fascism.

I find it amusing when visiting Europe that many signs in tourist locations that had multiple languages on it usually had English at eye level in a font twice as large as the other languages.
I assumed it was for some of the 'merican tourists that don’t thing rules or social norms apply to them.

Wouldn’t that require an acknowledgment that somebody might be offended, some sort of an imagination?

Did you read this at all?

Also, who the F cares? Do you only behave decently when it is mandated by law? Probably.

I would hope that Representative Higgins gets to “miss the weight he used to throw around.” Tut suite!

While he was absorbed in his ramble, it would have been tempting to swing the door shut and lock it until he came to his senses and thought about where he was standing.

This is the same douchebag that that advocated for killing all Muslims; I hope his bad karma comes for him soon, with a vengeance.

How would you feel about the President of France shooting a campaign ad at Arlington National Cemetery?

More importantly : many got murdered because other countries didn’t accept refugees.

Oh the irony of history. Now we have lots of refugees again. Refugees fleeing to Europe now instead from it - created by an invincible army starting wars based on ruthless lies.

I’ve had the opportunity to be visit Auschwitz twice with a Survivor (who recently passed away, my heart wept).
Both times, we went in quiet, stayed quiet and left quiet.

Don’t know how it is in New York at the old Trade Center site, but I bet they don’t allow podium-thumping political rallies either.

That Clay guy is a douche.
