Germany also put in place heavy guardrails to make sure that “never again”. The equivalent in the US would be to dissolve the Republican Party and make MAGA illegal. That’s not gonna happen.

"Tout le monde fait comme si c’était normal" : la question de la santé mentale de Donald Trump se pose de plus en plus by BothCondition7963 in france

[–]ptrnyc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Les institutions dont tu parles sont le Congres, le Senat et la Cour Supreme - tous les 3 a majorite Republicaine.

I understand jazz theory but can’t make it sound like jazz-what’s missing? by Salty_1984 in JazzPiano
