The problem is that the weakness of your institutions has been exposed. Even if we trust your leaders in the future, we can no longer trust your institutions and your system of government.

Split into two, with a split capital; for a long period of time

They instituted strong “anti-cult” and anti-fascism laws that lasted for 60 years (failing now in some cases) and were forced to reckon with their CRIMES

You imagine evangelicals going through this?

There are a lot of people in the replies who haven't checked my profile.

I am not American.

I'm British.

I live in Britain.

I am writing from the perspective of someone living in a country supposedly an ally of the US. Americans have no idea of the damage being done.

I don't know if the reputation of the US amongst allies can ever be recovered, regardless of who is in the White House or who controls Congress.

This is all well and good, but Trump only understands and respects power. European countries need to reciprocate in banning harmful US citizens from their countries.

The US government, whose explicit strategy is to cultivate resistance inside the EU, is now bullying Europeans who tried to rein in disinformation on U.S.-owned social media networks. In case anyone needs a reminder about what’s at stake.
Former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton has been sanctioned by the United States for threatening Twitter with consequences for possible inaction on removal of illegal content and disinformation requirements. #Image(s) #EuropeanUnion

Cool money-making idea: set up fake company, lie to get massive contract from government, buy yourself yacht with your new millions, get made a baroness for your hard work, fail to fulfil contract, wind up the company when you're ordered to pay money back. Isn't that clever? ♥️

Dear US Media,
Can we please stop normalizing attempted regime change of Venezuela by the US government?

Why not ask instead, if the US wants regime change why not Russia?

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus.

Weiss; What did the driver say.

Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times.

Weiss: I’m killing your story.
