You might try foreign papers (Spanish, German, French, etc.) and run the article you’re interested through an automatic translation software. The translations of written stuff are quite good now. For oral stuff, not good.

That would be so satisfying…

Try more direct news agencies like Reuters; I find Euronews is pretty good too, but forget the entertainment spectacle/circus of the US news broadcasts. If you can understand another language, get your news outside the US.

It’s the law of the jungle. The biggest asshole prevails.
“If you can terrorize others while having the morals of a reptilian, you’ll be an asshole, my son!”

I think we can even say mentally ill. Delusions, paranoia, loss of empathy, the willing acceptance of cruelty. Group psychosis. A really big cult.

💯 So much for less government intrusion and ‘believing in capitalism’.

So basically you’re saying that about 40% of US adults have either lost their moral sense or never had one?

Hang in there and get it done. The whole planet will be grateful. We’re all living in anxiety right now. We’re in this together, believe it or not. Must be extra terrifying in the US but friends and allies like Canada and Denmark are being threatened by reptilian brains.

Why is ICE there to begin with? Can somebody remind me? Why Minnesota and not other states?

I shall look it up. Cause that’s gold.

Precisely!
And somehow his zombie followers, trillionaire friends and evil henchmen/women refuse to see it and the culture war drags on, when decency should have prevailed a long time ago in the USA.

No, but worth reposting over and over.

Is this quote genuine?
January 15, 2026 at 3:49 AM
When did she say that? Is that statement available?
January 15, 2026 at 3:42 AM
Sure, that works too, probably with less likelihood of it backfiring since we wouldn’t be rejecting a trump ‘olive branch’ per se, merely rolling casually with the punch. I like it. Would have been enjoyable to take the initiative of withdrawing, but this way you don’t really poke the bear. Better.

Great list! May I suggest adding a couple more? Decency, respect, setting a good example for young people.
January 15, 2026 at 1:07 AM
Here’s hoping. I think Canada should oblige trump and drop CUSMA like a hot potato.
