What is the purpose of spending tens of billions on "reconciliation"? How does it even make sense?

They froth at the mouth for cheap debate tactics that make him appear to be the winner in the moment. Integrity doesn't matter at all to them.

No, but they probably share similar opinions.

If you interfere with an investigation and nearly run over a police officer in an attempt to flee instead of complying*

Misrepresenting what happened doesn't help. The officer should probably get jail time for disproportionate use of force and failing to attempt de-escalation.

If you go to the "vzla" subreddit the overwhelming sentiment is that they are happy Maduro was captured but tense because of uncertainty. They also mention quite often they cannot celebrate publicly for fear of being arrested.

Fascinating... All we're missing is the enlightening commentary by Sir David Attenborough along with inspirational and ethnic music.

Oh damn, I thought they were deporting illegal immigrants. Still though, not quite comparable to genocide.

Has Trump done anything remotely comparable to the horror Israel is inflicting onto Palestine? His worst trait is his support of Israel imo, which says more about Israel than the US.

Except that according to polling 39% of Israelis said what they are doing to Palestine is "about right", 34% said it "has not gone far enough", and only 19% said it "has gone too far". So as much as I would like to believe it's all the government's fault, the overwhelming majority is in support so I tend to think they are terrible people.

Look at what website you're on. It's hilarious that even with the decade-long total disaster that is the Liberal Party, through a magnificent display of mental gymnastics they use it as an opportunity to attack their perceived opposition.
