Please be aware that Serbia had months of protests because a poorly built cement overhang fell and killed a bunch of people in Novi Sad in 2024. Corruption leading to death triggered huge protests admit a while huge range of things people were already pissed about.

Jarred's hotel deal just perpetuates the same corruption issues.

Americans, and I don't say this to be rude but more to say reflect on yourself. I'm not saying I'd be a hero. I'm not saying we'd all know what to do or do better, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of working class solidarity as even a figment of the American psyche is seems. 

Anyway,  getting off track. 

What has America done on the path all the way the brought us to today, and what have you done, your state, your municipality. Community, whatever. From the outside looking in it doesn't seem like a lot, and even now while trump casually casts aside clear restraints and limits on power established in the courts and constitution. Daily behaves like a tinpot dictator, and goes unopposed, because nobody says boo. 

It's illegal, doesn't matter he does it

It's unconstitutional, says who? He does it.

He's taking your people in the night, with unmarked soldiers, working outside the law, but it keeps happening. And that's your citizens . 

The treatment of non citizens, of any status now seems to be treated the same. With suspicion and bias, and the threat of deportation to be hung above them to keep them in line. I say non citizens, but many citizens and green card holders are caught up in this. People have been jailed for weeks without contact with lawyers or family, this is PREPOSTEROUS in America, it's lunacy. It is vile and cruel and a betrayal of the values your nation was supposed to uphold.

Even citizens now are expected to stay inline or shut up, not to criticize the emperor and by extension all his little royal henchdweebs. Your social medias will be scoured 5 years thence, so ordered 

And you seem to largely be allowing this to go on occuring, in many cases without much let or hindrance. 

Is this the America you want and if not please do something. 

Signed, a concerned Canadian.

I like to think events like this can usher in a golden age in a nations history... I mean, what a show of national unity, right? Powerful.

Trump branded toilets where the bottom of the bowl was his face with mouth open, might be a very hot international seller.

The top protest image looks fake. I've seen too many AI images with signs that read like that one. The protest sign with that perspective just looks AI. I hope and believe the protests happen. The image just looks odd.

Sorry, I don't mean to be contrarian here; but "Try Japanese Hotel In Pearl Harbor?" looks exactly like the kind of convoluted language you'd see in some FaceBook post begging for likes for an AI disabled veteran or homeless single mother.

No, the sign makes sense and highlights the main reason the Serbs are so opposed to the hotel. The proposed site was a historical building that was bombed by NATO during the war for Kosovo’s independence. Serbs pretty universally see those events as “American” bombings and often cite them as cause to despise the US. So, the sign is pointing out the insensitivity of an American developer building a hotel in that location by comparing it to a Japanese developer building a hotel in Pearl Harbor.

Given how deeply Serbia is within the sphere of Russian influence, I doubt they care one way or the other that it’s affiliated with Jared Kushner, they just don’t like that it would have been owned by an American.
