> Good heavens, this is beyond awful.
In the context of Braverman's horrific video about being invaded by hordes.
Followed by:
> There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

Perhaps only in America, Champagne is PDO in other countries.
Also Champagne is called that because it comes from the Champagne region of France, even if a sparkling wine is made in France it cannot be called Champagne if it doesn't come from the right region.

The failed actress who was paid to be a Rep shill, then they realised she could go on to bigger things, so coached/bankrolled her political career.
She's literally a fiction of the Rep party.

The number of airplane hijackings was already in decline during the 90s and processes were already improving at airports around the world. Remembering that the TSA is a purely US production and doesn't represent the world, where most incidents happened. The world's airports have improved their processes and it's improved security a fair bit.
But ultimately the evidence is there, the TSA fails almost every test they're checked against by their own organisation. They're probably the least effective security force in the world, other than to frustrate people, they're good at that.
$8bn a year for an organisation who let through banned materials 70% of the time... https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellistalton/2019/01/28/is-the-tsa-really-necessary/
