Disappearing witnesses is very Stalinish.
Rep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

This. And they tried to defame the white guy with a gun, too, because he didn't play for the right team. But the video evidence made their lies impossible for all but the most deluded MAGA to buy.
So it took the murder of a white man carrying a legally registered gun for personal protection to finally make some Republicans wake the fuck up? The murder of Renee Good wasn't enough I guess because she was a woman and gay. I'll take victories where we can, but none of this shit is ok!!!!!!!!! 🤬

Vance is also a technocratic dark enlightenment nutter and Curtis Yarvin acolyte.

Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

We have tried really hard as a country with Trump, Starmer has been so patient with the Orange one and I realise that we have jobs that depend on the US market, others will have more information on that. But, there is a line where you say, PISS OFF you fat pedo twat. Have we reached there yet?

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

My take on this is that this is a sign of enormous weakness from Trump. It's a tell. He knows the walls are closing in on him politically and he'd like to avoid the Democratic electoral tsunami that's coming in November.
