Patel is lying about the law as it is traditionally understood, as it is written. He’s telling the truth about law under Trumpism: you only have a right if they deign to acknowledge it; you have no right to do anything they don’t want you to do.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Sur la RTS aussi, le narratif qui domine c'est celui du DHS, pas de l'exécution sommaire d'un infirmier par des SA hors de contrôle.

En marge des discussions sur l'inutilité des IA en matière de traductions, je me permets de partager une réflection que j'ai eue très récemment qui me rappelle à quel point il est difficile de traduire non seulement un sens, mais aussi une émotion, de manière adéquate. On va parler de Rambo.

It's the FIFA Peace Prize of United Nations.
Freedom House freedom rankings of The Board of Peace - which Trump described as the most prestigious group of world leaders ever assembled.

44% of the board ranks as “not free”, 50% as “partly free” and everyone else is the United States.

Also valid for other parliamentary systems, it seems counterintuitive to on one hand say "anyone can stand for an election" but then say "a very specific professional credential is required somewhere for our legislative branch to work".
this is a weird take to me
i dont care about lawmakers having credentials like this
jim jordan shouldnt chair the judiciary committee cause he's a fucking conspiratorial buffoon, not because he didnt pass a test
Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Ein Bundesrat, der nach infamen Lügen und Beleidigungen gegen unser Land vor der versammelten Weltöffentlichkeit dem Pöbler auch noch huldigt, ist eine Schande. Der heutige Tag ist eine nationale Demütigung für die Schweiz. Wir haben keine Könige!

I listened to the same speech and this was not my understanding of what Trump said. He didn't permanently rule out force, he just said he wasn't planning on it now and thus left it open as a threat
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) - Trump in Davos speech says he won't use force to acquire Greenland.

Un des problèmes avec la presse, c'est qu'ils ne sont pas capables d'intégrer la notion que ce que raconte Trump à Davos ne sera valable que jusqu'au moment où il rentre à Washington et que Miller et autres lui reparlent.

Il faut arrêter de prétendre que la parole de Trump vaut quoi que ce soit.
🇬🇱 Donald Tump a affirmé ce mercredi depuis le sommet de Davos qu'il n'utiliserait "pas la force" pour mettre la main sur le Groenland.

C'est vrai que les vins français ont déjà un coût monstrueux en subventions, en santé publique et en impact environnemental.
Ce serait dommage qu'ils ne nous fassent pas, en plus, plier devant le fascisme.

It's not just one man's dementia, though, is it? It's also the whole Project 2025, the enablers around him, and a supreme court as well as a Congress that has fully bought into the fascist version of the USA that is being set up...

My Greenland prediction:
1.) The U.S. won't attack.
2.) It won't attack because it was stopped.
3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

- economists et al al go "uhhhh holy fuck holy fuck"
- naptime defeats tariffs otaku and most stuff reverts to 10%
- bunch of people accuse economists of exaggerating

Sunday paranoia: having watched the spineless reaction by Macron and Starmer to Venezuela, the next move could well be a reinterpretation of Molotov - Ribbentrop, with the US seizing Greenland on the same day as the Russians try something in the Baltics.
Plausible? Probably not, but possible... eh?

If “mainstream Christian teaching” involves psychological torture it should be criminalised and those practicing it jailed whether clergy or not.
An open letter to the Government warning that its plans for a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices” could “criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal” has more than 5000 signatories.

Die Bilanz 2025:
→ Nur 27% legen ALLE Einkünfte offen
→ 44% schweigen komplett
→ Ein Parlamentarier hält 20 bezahlte Nebenjobs

Warum das wichtig ist: Die Schweiz hat kein Lobbyregister. Niemand muss Einkommenshöhen offenlegen. Lobbywatch füllt diese demokratische Lücke.
