Sort of a unified field theory of Woke Begavior, of everything these assholes have perpetrated in the last several years: Excepción del WuFlu Excepción del Negro Excepción de las Protestas Pacíficas Excepción del Inquisición del Seis de Noviembre Excepción de Los Gentes Que Menstruaran Excepción del Pelosi [Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsome...] Excepción de la Guerra Sagrada Contra El Hombre-Naranja. |

Appearing before the media alongside Ecuador’s foreign minister, Mauricio Montalvo, Blinken declared, “In extraordinary moments, democracies require exceptional measures.” |
