Let’s peep in and see what’s going on in Argentina with their Trump Clone!

Furthermore, the new government has announced that police would crack down on anyone who organizes or participates in protests that block roads.

Right-wing Argentine lawmaker José Luis Espert shocked human rights defenders earlier this month after declaring that protesters who violated the new policy had the choice of “prison or bullet.”

‘Sitting on a powder keg’: US braces for a year, and an election, like no other | US politics | The Guardian

Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University in Washington, said: “This is the most astounding election I have ever seen.

“We have never had an election where a likely major party nominee is indicted for major felony charges of the most serious nature; this is not shoplifting. He’s being charged with an attempt to destroy our democracy and subverting our national security. Both in terms of Trump’s personal morality and his incredibly serious crimes, we have never seen anything remotely like this.”

And yet, within a couple of weeks she’ll be bragging about how the “Democrat Party” was the one that favored slavery and Jim Crow.
I’d love it if someone asks her, in South Carolina, what she thinks of Abraham Lincoln.
