The Kremlin probably can’t believe its luck.

Russia’s military is having a lot of trouble against smaller Ukraine, and has lost a lot capacity. Its GDP is smaller than EU member Italy, or US state Texas.

Yet all they needed was racism, corruption, and a means of propagandizing Westerners directly.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

On one hand, my reaction is "here's my shocked face"

On the other, my reaction is "LOL, behold the Great and Powerful Deal Maker!"
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Karp says he "pays the price" when he's wrong.

When Palantir's algorithm gets the wrong person arrested, is he arrested? When it gets the wrong person killed, is he killed?

So no, he doesn't pay the price. He pays a tiny, inconsequential fraction of the price.
Holy smokes! If you acted like Palantir CEO Alex Karp in a corporate meeting, they would report you to HR. Just saying.

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

This is exactly the point I've made since his first term. At what point do we worry? Germans in 1933 had no clue what was about to happen but we have the benefit of history to give us a clue or two. We're fools if we don't heed the warning - the parallels are too close.
Trumpworld likes to present comparisons of his anti-immigrant rhetoric with 1930s Germany as inherently hyperbolic. So I asked some historians if they were.

I'll quote John Adams and say the day he shuffles off this mortal coil will be a day that "ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other."
I don’t think it’s Trump’s *birth*day that will be celebrated in years to come.

TRUMP: I've settled 8 wars. I don't know that I'm getting it. I've been hearing about a peace prize and I'm here to represent our country. But I did settle 8 wars.

That is one thirsty boy walking on to that stage!

What a sad little man he is. They make up this stupid prize to flatter him and he's totally clueless, is like, about time! Snatches that medal and drapes it around his neck without even waiting for the dude to do it for him. Just so fucking cringe.

If we go to war with Venezuela, we will essentially be Germany invading Poland*. The world will despise us, rightfully so, for being The Baddies. Would we trigger WWIII?

I'm very afraid we might. The shame of this thought makes me sick. How do we go from being the
The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Insulting to have to point this out, but if you have spent even 30 minutes reading US history, you realize that every decade has been dominated by racist hysteria that the "new" people won't ever fit in.

This exact prejudice would have been applied to Miller's forebears, when they fled pogroms.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.
