Vaikka talous romahti, työttömyys räjähti, sanan- ja tieteenvapaus sekä oikeusvaltio menivät, keskiluokalta lähti ostovoima, rasismi normalisoitui, SA-joukot kaappaavat väkeä kadulta ja armeija marssii kaupunkeihin, niin se on 90-prosenttisesti tosi hyvä ideologia.

Maailma palaa, mutta politiikassa puuhastellaan identiteettien parissa. Europersut saivat tänään eurokokoomuksen tuella läpi uutta byrokratiaa, jolla mm. estetään kasvispihvien kutsuminen pihveiksi. Kuukauden tärkein tavoite heille oli, että amerikkalainen oikeistopodcastaaja saa hiljaisen hetken.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

NEWS: James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that followed President Trump’s demand to prosecute.

The judge set a Jan. 5 trial date — but Comey is expected to try to kill the case before it starts, including by disqualifying Lindsey Halligan

The Unofficial Jobs Numbers Are In and It’s Rough Out There

In a federal data blackout, Wall Street numbers and surveys are filling the void, and the nongovernment numbers are telling the same basic story: Few companies are hiring.

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
