“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”

A demand to see a comprehensive report on how being in the UN helps American interests, and failing that, immediate departure.

We all know he’d have Rice bullshit a response, but then we’d have a current, official statement of bullshit to oppose.

“It has been estimated that 7500 Germans have been murdered by aliens (mostly Muslim Turks) since the Berlin wall fell. The German media and politicians are silent about this. But the deaths of a few kebab sellers must become part of the German national story, to fashion a pretext for twisting the guilt knife just a little more.”
