Just a guy, geodetic surveyor by trade, political junky and horror streamer lover by night... But hates the horror genre. (The streamers are so wholesome)
I play story rich and sim games, and on the weekend I love museums with friends or sailing.

I thought this was a really interesting and thoughtful explanation and analysis of the election.
Type Ashton has really good content IMHO.

France at the UN Security Council:
"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

The weirdest thing isn’t Americans—it’s the belief that laws are automatically moral. History’s villains were very good at following the law.

In 2005 Trump famously said that when you’re a star you can do anything you want.
In 2026 Hegseth said America can project our will anywhere at any time.
You can draw a direct line from one to the other. Trump told us who he was — a deeply abusive and hateful man. 1/2

I wonder how long it will be before the speaker of the house will say he has not had a chance to watch the news and doesn't know anything about what happened in Venesuela.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Trump isn’t loyal to his base or the Republican Party. He’s loyal to Trump. His goal is to keep his name in the headlines and monetize it for as long as possible. Anyone who expected him to deliver on promises misunderstood who he’s always been.

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It
A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Thou shalt not baselessly accuse Somalians of “stealing billions” when you are the one stealing billions every single way you can.
Um, this commandment is mostly for Donald Trump and his racist criminal organization.

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives.
We must go into 2026 with eyes open.

The US can destroy a European's life with the swipe of a pen
This week's US sanctions against European lawmakers and privacy activists is a major escalation. And it shows the dangers of Europe relying on American economic infrastructure.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.
