Democrats explaining macroeconomics to their voting base?? Never have I seen such a thing. They generally do what Mamdani did: promise things that people want for free or for cheap. With some hate for some groups added for balance.

The man in the linked article did not display any signs or symbols, did not engage in speech, and did not "express" himself. If standing solemn is an arrestable offense, then anyone doing anything is subject to arrest. The police

It seems this will be a way for Ukraine to pay for its defense, since Europe is not willing to cover the cost and the US is no longer willing to do it either. It also puts countries that live under the US umbrella in a position to start thi
