Democrats are in the role of the French leaders who surrendered to the Nazis and fled. They don't understand that the entire world and all their voters are looking for a de Gaulle, not because they think he would instantly defeat Trump, but because at least he's on the right side.

Sounds like things are going great in Minnesota. Presumably we'll see the local and state police being paraded in zip cuffs shortly

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

i think, however, this is a crystal clear example that the next cold war is actually democracy vs autocracy and the battle lines run right through every single advanced democracy. there aren't really any safe harbors.

Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right.
US sides with Putin.

For friends in the U.S., this is about the same as if the EU decided to pull apart the United States by actively supporting every loon in California, Texas, and any other state with any interest of leaving the union. Both overtly and covertly.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

If the EU shifts to a more consolidated form of supra-national statehood then it will be through a convergence of mid-2010s legacies from the Eurozone Crisis, migration crisis and Russia's seizure of Crimea.
To understand each dynamic you need to look at how it interacts with the other 2.

I have escaped from domestic violence. The domestic violence was not just contained to the home, but also involved weaponization of systems. I hope to do a fuller accounting of what happened one day to bring light to this problem. For now, here is my "Thank You" note to Joe Biden & the VAWA.
