And Godzilla can help fix overcrowding and social isolation in Tokyo, but guess what? Godzilla is not interested in implementing coherent policies to achieve ends that serve the nation. He's a rapid onset complex disaster that follows a random path and leaves only irradiated rubble behind him.

Trump’s Unexpected Opportunity

The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

In almost exactly twelve months people have developed an iron certainty that controlling Greenland is a vital interest of the United States. Fascinating

It is a remarkable conceitedness by a professional purveyor of words that words are the thing that matters most - really the only thing - so the mean words said against a murderer matter as much as the mean words said in support of a murderer, but what matters not at all is the fact of the murder.

Once again, I am begging supposedly serious people & societal institutions not to normalize violating all of our international obligations, threatening to seize/acquire our closest allies, & generally treating the One Special Boy as if our entire edifice of institutions, laws, & norms do not exist.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

US Media Rushes to Manufacture Legal Legitimacy for Trump’s Venezuela Oil Tanker Piracy
Venezuela oil exports are not “black market” and US sanctions are not “international sanctions.” Why does our media keep saying otherwise?
