What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

6. Weiss presents her mission at CBS as restoring trust by elevating centrist voices, which is accurate enough if we understand "centrist voices" to mean "the type of men likely to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein."

The idea that America needs to occupy Greenland because we actually care enough about native people and want to build oncology centers is enough to make your head fully explode
Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I am old enough to remember Putin saying as late as 18 February 2022 - less than a week before the invasion - that Russia had no intention to use military force against Ukraine.
Trump ruling out the use of military force does not defuse this crisis
Europe & Denmark's red lines are territorial integrity & the right of self-determination for the people of Greenland. They do not want to join the US
Trump has to give up his ambition for sovereign control

Since having moved away from Germany 4 years ago, I’ve wondered about this negativity. German-language analysis is full of apocalyptic doom, predicting the EU’s collapse and other similar catastrophes even at times when the odds are against it.
Maybe it’s a mentality, but maybe also an info op ?

You can discuss many aspects of this data, you may find a different measure that leads to a (slightly) different conclusion. But German negativity is extremely excessive. So the next time when you are confronted with typical German pessimism, use these facts to counter the narrative.

Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not.
The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:
