Don't know, don't care. Trying to make a point off of hyperbole and speculation is pointless. I just find it funny the **** both sides will get themselves twisted up over.

Since the story on the right is from Feb 2017 and the story on the left is from June 2018.

some for me, none for thee.




I... I am at a loss for words.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot has the right to protect her home, but the people of Chicago don't have a right to protect their homes and businesses?
Why does she get to ban protestors on her street, but allow them on everyone else's street?
If it were actually peaceful protests, then why the need to ban them on your street in the name of security?
Or, maybe Lightfoot is a typical leftist progressive and fraud that has one standard for herself and elites, and another for us plebeians?
It's truly astonishing how blatant leftists are with their selfishness and double standards.

German dog owners will be ordered by LAW to take their pets on hour-long walks twice a day under new regulations

German dog owners will be ordered by law to take their pets on hour-long walks twice a day under new regulations.

Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner will introduce new legislation in the Dogs Act to ensure people take their animals for substantial walks rather than short trips around the neighbourhood.

She said the law is based on evidence that many dogs in Germany are not getting enough exercise on a daily basis, the Guardian reported.

You were supposed to understand the subtext of what Brainey was saying. It's a commentary on the sad fact that Karenism, once thought to be a uniquely American problem, has begun to afflict countries in the civilized world as well. Such as in the case of German agriculture minister Julia Klöckner.

Because Germans are notoriously efficient, she has skipped the step of wanting to see the dog manager, and has appointed herself as the dog manager.



It's a shame that this wasn't a story from China...

I'm convinced that Braineack just makes up Facebook URLs at random.

Facebook removes anything that breaks the narrative if it gets enough traction.
