NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

Das gilt übrigens auch für Grüne und NEOS: Wenn ihr dabei zusieht, wie der Vizekanzler wegen mangelnder Bereitschaft zur Medienkorruption von zwei Familien, gegen die wegen Verdachts auf Bestechung ermittelt wird, in der Öffentlichkeit vernichtet wird, hat nicht nur die SPÖ ein Problem.

A lot of Americans think we're just having an unnecessary trade dispute with a president occasionally making unfunny jokes, while the reality is there are elements in the US conservative movement actively trying to tear our country apart. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Für mich ist das Problem nicht (nur), dass das JobCenter einem Rentner das Geld abnimmt, das er mit Flaschenpfand gesammelt hat. Für mich ist das Problem, dass in einem der reichsten Länder der Erde Rentner fucking Flaschenpfand sammeln müssen, weil die Würde des Menschen ein Scheißdreck zählt! 😡

Trump promises a $5000 dividend if GOP keep control of House And Senate. Trump also promised a dividend for DOGE cuts we never got. Trump promised a "dividend" for his tariffs we never recevied. He promised lower gas prices, no new wars & an "amazing" health insurance plan. None of those happened.
