Can anyone distinguish between the Trump administration and a typical old-fashioned American mafia outfit, in terms of the acts they perpetrate, other than total impunity?
It's above the level of a war crime. It is murder.

Same thing happened on Wall Street regs, crypto & health care.
It's an axiom: legalized bribery enshittifies politics so organized money defeats disorganized people, even when people want something better.

2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

Almost every day now right-wing newspapers in Italy publish stories that give Meloni, Salvini and the rest an excuse to attack the judiciary. It's going to be a long few months leading up to the referendum on Meloni's justice reform in the spring.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:
