50501 murdering a leftist in cold blood because they hired cops and soldiers to be their enforcers in the name of "peaceful protest" is the least surprising thing in the history of political murders.

Happy National Day of Iceland! An Icelandic term of endearment, often used to describe an adorable baby or a cute puppy, is rúsínurassgat. It means “raisin-asshole.” And an even cuter Icelandic way to tell someone to go away is hoppaðu upp í rassgatið á þér. It means “go jump into your own asshole.”
