(I don't want any of our politicians to feel worried about political violence, but I also don't remember his open condemnation of any of it when Singh was threatened.)

I seem to recall him being fine with it when Trudeau was getting rocks thrown at him. I seem to recall him saying it was an overreaction when Freeland complained she was being followed around.
Am I remembering wrong?
Are they going to start sanctioning individuals all over the world? They did it with the judge in the Bolsonaro case, and it caused problems in Brazil generally. I suppose if they do it to large numbers of people outside of the US, it would end up forcing countries to stop cooperating generally with the US.
Side note, by her own definitions, JKR is illiberal. She is a fundamentalist. She is a totalitarian. And she definitely believes that some of her "political" opponents, trans people, should be punished with violence and death. What a telling post.
And PP sucks as usual.
Let's check with grok.
Voter suppression is generally very high so I won't blame those people who couldn't vote for any of the many reasons that the US uses, but a choice not to vote is an implicit endorsement.
My goodness. Well, folks, we finally did it. We convinced the people in power that dihydrogen monoxide really is deadly.
My old house went up over 400k between 2019-2025. So, if I'd sold it in 2019, they could absolutely afford to rent to me at a lower price than if I tried buying it again.
"Vote blue no matter who! Wait, no, not like that!"
England's banning kids from doing all sorts of things and causing problems for everyone while doing it, so while I wouldn't say this is bad per se, I do worry that it's coming out of England.
We all know he committed depraved sex crimes. We've heard the victims. I'd just like the third party evidence released because we humans would rather believe a little black book than a living, breathing person who was a child when he raped her.
Gross. Absolutely gross. Powerful old people are already living too long.
So, when I say this, I mean something more than simple citizen led movements. Those will curtail some trade, for sure, and I'm all for them.
In this case, I'm referring to the types of things that we plebs have no control over. There are a fair number of banking rules, for example, that are mandated by the US government in order to do business with US taxpayers. Some number of years back, for example, a bunch of banks globally just stopped allowing US taxpayers to have accounts, because of US laws that didn't allow time for the banks to make the changes required, and imposed high fines if US taxpayers held accounts that weren't reported to the US. (I'm pretty sure that US taxpayers are allowed bank accounts throughout the world again these days.)
Should the US try this kind of thing on a larger scale, I think that will either lead the banks towards debanking many individuals throughout the world as the US imposes sanctions on more regular citizens of other countries, a two-tiered system where the banks attempt to comply, or larger scale choices to not cooperate with the US on a financial level, which would affect every country that own American debt.
