Economic blackmail against the largest city in the country will certainly have the desired effect.
i don't even know what the desired effect is. you would think that they want the courts to be apolitical and not bow to outside pressure, and that's what sparked the protest, but now they are politicizing the court decision and trying to apply outside pressure.
there are lots of things this protest could effect, but the court's decision isn't one of them.
There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every other article is about that moron. Americans haven't learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.
People might claim that I'm wrong about that. But if I were wrong, there would be some sign of people starting to work together, no matter the party...
American proletariat doesn't have any direct control over their media. The rich fucks that do are, largely, sympathetic to Trump's message of a white nationalist state that pillages its neighbors for wealth and prestige.
This kind of media isn't due to Big Dumb Americans being too stupid to realize how it helps the Orange Man. It is entirely deliberate, both because it generates a based audience willing to throw money towards conservative causes and because it fuels the Trump campaign by making him look strong and liberals in big cities look weak.
How many hundred million people live over there? Once your country belonged to the British.
My nation never belonged to Britain colonizer.
No you have to Vbnmw
People need to agree to hold people accountable, and not "pick a side".
Careful, that is awful close to acknowledging that their sides guys aren’t perfect.
Why are we even reading about this? It's as reliable as your drunk uncle rambling at Thanksgiving. No, truck drivers aren't going to intentionally lose money. No, the Chicago Bears aren't going to make Uncle Ray the new Head Coach.
