Trump — emperor of Brazil
The US president’s sympathy for disgraced strongman Bolsonaro is part of an alarming pattern
“The loudest complaints should be coming from Trump’s protectionist advisers. By their logic, tariffs are about building up US domestic capacity. Trump, by contrast, is using them for whatever takes his fancy. And boy does he fancy strongmen.” My column. www.ft.com/content/9a76...

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Did they ask Elon Musk that question?

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

But the political angle here is him distracting from the fact that he fired the FAA director on day one.
He very much thinks about things like this.

One thing I’ve found that can help convince people to leave FB:
Most people don’t know you can download your entire FB/insta account data. That means you can keep everything you’ve ever posted, made, and changed.

She: But WHY are you breaking up with me? Please tell me honestly
He (sigh): Ok it’s… your “signature sex move”
She: Judgmental Corpse?

It's never been about evidence for Aaron Mate and his ilk, it's just about ideology, and finding anything that fits their narrative and boosting it as much as possible to their audience until it bounces around their echochamber enough to convince everyone in it that it's the truth.

My father’s hometown is liberated from the Assad regime. Homs is liberated.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Correct. The purpose of "DOGE" is formalized corruption.

Yo. Glad so many of us are x-iting twitter. Hope Jack is at least a slightly better billionaire?
Also, is there not ONE leftward leaning billionaire who understands the assignment? I mean c'mon, I love getting my check from Soros every month, but damn, man, buy a frickin' media outlet, please!!!
