Una delle piΓΉ grosse stronzate che abbia mai sentito in vita mia. La natura non socialista del regime si rivela quando Albert Speer nel 1943 chiede di centralizzare la produzione bellica "alla Stalin" e Hitler rifiuta per timore della reazione degli industriali.

Posso dire che Γ¨ uno dei punti fermi del mio lavoro la volontΓ  di non vedere le cose statunitensi con occhi europei. Ad ogni modo magari per un lettore americano avvertito forse possono essere cose giΓ  note... Mi farai sapere :-)

Più tardi, nel 2020, ci si stupì che la Corte avesse cestinato i ricorsi di Trump sulle presidenziali. Il progetto, però, aveva un obiettivo più ampio rispetto a un obiettivo così contingente: consolidare un disegno politico che va oltre il singolo presidente (2/5)

Over on X, Musk continues to gaslight the undereducated maga crowd about how government works. He’s also accusing the U.S. government of mishandling tax dollars. This is all to sow seeds of doubt and empower his mission to not just dismantle our institutions, but to steal money from Americans.

Small point most of you missed from presser yesterday. Prez said the new Syrian regime are *not* terrorists. So the West did *not* causes Syrians to be abandoned to terrorists.

Please extend my trolls your every sympathy for this propaganda disaster.

President-elect Elon Musk's vice president, Donald Trump, is having a meltdown right now.

What's the brilliant tactic of changing his demand to extend the debt ceiling for 5 years when 38 Republicans voted against extending it for 2 years? Or is he just typing out of anger?

Chaos and dysfunction.

I’m old enough to remember when Trump shut down the government because he didn’t get more money for the wall than he had asked for, and then caved after he got less money for the wall than he had shut the government down for, but nonetheless claimed victory.

Opinion | Now Is Not the Time for Surrender What do Democrats need to do? Act like an opposition party.

The strongest case I've seen urging Dems to act like a real opposition party is this by @jamellebouie.net.

Buttering up Trump (and Musk), seeking "common ground" with backsliding into authoritarianism, is not only bad policy and bad politics, it's a disservice to the millions who voted against it.

How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.

Trump’s first term was a study in the capitulation of the Republican Party and conservative movement. Apparently Trump’s second term will be a study in the capitulation of…everyone else.

A take I found online that I think is interesting:

"Had the balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere and at the end of the day, he's probably right. Oil barons haven't listened to any environmentalists, but they feared him.

When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive. You may not like his methods, but to see things from his perspective, it's not terrorism, it's war and revolution. Fossil fuel companies actively suppress anything that stands in their way and within a generation or two, it will begin costing human lives by greater and greater magnitudes until the earth is just a flaming ball orbiting third from the sun. Peaceful protest is outright ignored, economic protest isn't possible in the current system, so how long until we recognize that violence against those who lead us to such destruction is justified as self-defense.

These companies don't care about you, or your kids, or your grandkids. They have zero qualms about burning down the planet for a buck, so why should we have any qualms about burning them down to survive?
