He cannot admit he played himself and American consumers.

As Trump likes to say “you don’t have the cards.”
China has moved on.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

The band has said on stage:
“up Hamas, up Hezbollah”.
Illegal to voice support for them in UK & 🇨🇦.
“The only good Tory is a dead Tory.” I remember the murder of Jo Cox. No band should encourage murder.
Their Coachella stmt “Israel’s military action in Gaze is 🇺🇸 backed genocide” is merely the truth.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

I admire her fight for democracy. I admire her courage in the face of real threats.
I do not admire her comments about Trump being a “visionary” for lawlessly blowing up Venezuelan boats.
I do not admire her encouraging Trump to engage in regime change.

Like everyone, I hope this is a lasting peace deal.

That said, it's pretty disgusting to watch some political journalists trip over each other in competition to muse about a Nobel Peace Prize for a president who is currently deploying troops against American cities, violently weaponizing an apparently unaccountable police force against American citizens, suppressing freedom of the press, shutting down free speech for corporations and campuses to leverage bribery deals, openly threatening and cajoling federal judges, cutting many billions in foreign aid that will lead to millions of deaths globally, engaging in the extrajudicial murder of foreign citizens, placating dictatorial regimes with widely documented human rights abuses, and undermining global stability with third-rate mafia tactics.

It's tragic to witness how quickly informed journalists are folding to the fascism materializing in front of us because they don't want to be targeted next.

As a Canadian, I love the Americans who are putting themselves at risk to protect their neighbours from ICE. I love the Americans working tirelessly to hold this regime accountable. I love the Americans who are struggling to get by, but don't succumb to hate or delusion.

Trump though? Fuck Trump.
