America is the richest country in the world, with the strongest military. But, it still needs allies, trading partners. It can’t do it all alone. It’s powerful, but not impregnable.
My point is..,,there’s no point clinging onto hope that the alliance can be saved, US still be relied upon in extremis. It can’t. So, what’s holding us back from retaliating?
I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

~50% of the people living in the US weren’t even born the last time a President invoked the Insurrection Act. And when GHWB did that in 1992, the soldiers deployed to LA were not given live ammunition.
I was in the midst of preparing a Morning Memo arguing that Minneapolis is shaping up to be the catalyzing moment that Trump was looking for to justify doing what he has wanted to do since his 1st term: invoke the Insurrection Act...when he posted exactly that:

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power.
He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Not for the first time, where other European leaders wring their hands over Trump, Spain’s Sánchez draws a line. A stance that is only looking more sensible (more *realistic*) as time goes on.
Pedro Sánchez afirma que España no reconoció al régimen de Maduro, “pero tampoco reconocerá una intervención que viola el derecho internacional”

Absolutely and the rights and restrictions associated with it should be widely publicised and understood. That is still not the case in the U.K.
Which is precisely why the strategy from the UK (if it can be called a strategy) is so dumb. Instead of keep saying "we will not accept FoM", they should make the positive case for it. Once FoM is detoxified in the UK a range of possibilities open up.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

The Government spends an average of £230,000 a year on every single child in care
Of that more than £60,000 is profit that never even goes near a child
The corporations get that, but if you foster a child you get only £10,000.
A sick system that has been twisted for profit
