It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

In 1943!!!

“Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun famously gave his Nobel medal and diploma to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as a gesture of admiration for the Nazi regime, following his support for the occupation….”
Reporter: Why would you want someone else’s Nobel Prize?

Trump: She offered it to me.

A new Cambridge index tracked the bot economy across 500 platforms.

The UK is almost as cheap to manipulate as Russia. With Scottish and Welsh elections coming up in May, this makes sobering reading ⤵️

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

“.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

“.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Whenever people spoke about the harms and chilling effect on speech caused by the OSA, these guys were right in with "so you love child porn huh?"

Once again: there are no rules, there are no principles, there are no standards. There is just whatever these people want, forever.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.

"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."

"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

Starmer didn't care about international law over Gaza, so why would we think he cared about it over Venezuela?
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

It is awesome how - after decades of roaring denunciations, relentless lying and shitehousing about our craven ball-sucking to the White House and various Presidents’ wars - we have finally arrived at the truth of the matter: We are spineless worms, and we will fuck up anyone who says that is bad.

The EU is not going to do shit about this. We are all complicit in genocide, and complicit in genocide not only with Biden but with Trump too. We are all vassals of the American empire. These people fully understand how bad all of this is, and they have all chosen to side with power, not justice.

Incredible “a quarrel in a far-away country, between people of whom we know nothing” vibes in this one, I’d say. Just rank insulting horseshit every day from these clowns: middle fingers shoved in your face, both hands, every day of the year.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trump's got a taste for blood.
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."
