The second Trump told America he had done a good thing with zero side effects, the entirety of the American press corps should have been hunting the globe for body bags and blood stainsβ€”because if there's one con man alive who would pretend a series of genocides was a peace deal it is Donald Trump

The UAE-backed horror in el-Fasher exposes the West's empty words For over 500 days, urgent warnings of an impending slaughter in the Sudanese city were ignored as the UAE's 'unlimited cash' spoke louder

One day another book will be written about the Trump-Kushner Abraham Accords that picks up the ball where my Proof of Conspiracy left off and shows that what Trump and his son-in-law billed as a series of peace deals deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize were in fact a bloodbath for Africa and elsewhere

Trade ministers of China and Germany spoke yesterday, largely it seems about the Netherlands.

Huge section on Nexperia in the Chinese readout

Meanwhile, auto translate on Handelsblatt website made me chuckle: "Rich man urges China to relax rare earth restrictions"

Yes, when I lived in Indiana we sometimes did that because there was no one, or no one even remotely likely to be elected as a Democrat there. So you chose the least bad Republican to vote for or didn't vote at all.

Hoekstra is a political agitator, totally unfit to be ambassador to a western country. He should have been assigned to North Korea, or dog catcher in western Michigan.

Journalist friends, you know what to do. Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold

We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

The identity of Sarah Kendzior, researcher on authoritarian states, and Sarah Kendzior's content discussing authoritarian states are...not really easy to separate.

So I'm struggling to see this as a response.

Have you ever noticed that MAGA attacks the Hindu faith of Kash and Vivek, but they don't seem to attack hers even though it's a literal offshoot cult?

I always wonder why there's that disconnect.

Installing Patel as Director, Trump set Gabbard up to easily assert her control over FBI. If she is dismantling our intel infrastructure, any real resistance to foreign attacks would be compromised (duh); making her pro-Russia ideology even more concerning. It feels like a real shitstorm is upon US.
