Welcome to an Alternative Future and a Changed Past

So what is (DVTL) Double Victory?
It is my world-building and alternative history project, intended to culminate in a series of full-length novels!
TLDR: The Final Countdown with zoomers, crank to 11, and mix in heaping doses of Matterhorn, Red Storm Rising, and the Death of Stalin.

It is indicative of the state of Los Angeles politics that Karen Bass's only response to this is, "don't worry, there are no plans to build affordable housing in Palisades."

Trump rails against low-income housing in Pacific Palisades. But officials say no projects are planned
Mayor Karen Bass called the president's statements untrue. "There are no plans to bring low-income housing to the Palisades,” Bass said.

Two sources have told the BBC that John Pond was in fact Gordon Brown, then the PM

We are really really good at technical collection. We have capabilities that collect exquisite intelligence, a property of which is that it's unique - it can only come from one specific capability.
If that info shows up where it isn't supposed to be, we have an obvious problem

so in pre-shift DVTL elon crashes out hard during first sino and then mathew perry's himself and there's a question of what happens to SpaceX... would be funny if DOD helps spins up a new ULA around post-Musk SpaceX
Not sure whose the funniest competitor to buyout SpaceX once the boer crashes into a fatal k hole, but I did just have the idea of dropping a starship loaded to the brim with N8 onto a critical PLA IAMD island/node (Wake Island)

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal

This administration’s treatment of a NATO ally is both incredibly disgraceful and contrary to U.S. national interests.
Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US
