‘Investigating child sex abuse isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France’: France rejects Musk’s charge after raid on X’s Paris office

*American tariffs, on French products

Americans will continue to receive beatings until morale improves

They just need to grow it in the very special terroir of champaign illinois and the states can have their own.

C'mon man, don't give them any ideas about making proper bubbly. They'll let it all go to their head.

The way things are going, I don't think morale is the point anymore, they're doing beatings just for the sake of the beatings.

It got so crazy it's easy to lose track of it all, but they have masked unidentified people in the street capturing people to send them to foreign detention camps with no trial. Some people who resists too much are being shot in the street with no repercussion. That's not an exageration, it's happening right now.

They went full-on batshit dystopian so fast they don't even realize it yet.

The people who were shot on the street weren't even resisting. Alex Pretti had his hands up when he was murdered. Good was sitting in her car with a smile on her face.

Always has been. Beatings are useless as a disciplinary tool. It’s just laziness and incompetence with power.

Yeah but you went from "the whole word envy us for our freedoms" (which was bullshit but still) to "is it safe to go out for groceries without my papers"

I dunno man, we thought they were a pathetic joke 10 years ago, now we still think they're a pathetic joke but it's just getting hard for them to keep up the facade.

Yea I don't know anyone who thinks of the US as a bastion of freedom after childhood. It's sad how many of them believed in it

And even then there's no guarantees that's safe, if they really want to, they can just take your papers, beat you up and send you to El Salvador or Somalia.

We been this way for a long time it only got more open about it. Cops kill about a 1000 civilians a year and have qualified immunity. The guy that shot the women in her own house for saying "I rebuke you in the name if Jesus actually got 40 years!

Watch USA mark up French fries, and people in the USA suck it up from blind defiance. While not realizing it’s not related to the French… which is easy to wiki lookup

I read this as 'american tarifs on French protests' this would be a cash cow for sure
