Could somebody please just take his loving phone away from him. He's a god damned embarrassment. "Politically motivated ingrates", "Little Rocket Man", this is how a national leader speaks; "all buildings now inspected for safety", really, every building in Puerto Rico has now been inspected, by who, what a moron.

I don't understand why the central government didn't just be like "ok you had a pretend vote with no legal standing good job" and then ignore it forever. Like why let yourself be baited into having the boots and balaclavas dragging grandma through the streets in front of every western news camera?

There's probably lots of things about Spanish and European politics I don't understand though.

well today trump said talking to north korea is impossible, so that pretty much leaves just the military option

and there's a non-zero chance of a civil war breaking out in one of the eu states today

so yeah, pretty normal day in DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA

catalonia (tried to) held an independence vote and spain sent in jackbooted thugs to beat up grannies and firefighters, break property, and toss ballot boxes onto the floor

there's violence on both sides, both sides

maybe this is the first time in history that the cops in riot gear are the good guys
