Trump's threats to annex democratic countries even though their citizens do not vote for this move show that he has mentally abandoned democracy and thus severed his government from the Constitution. No American owes his government loyalty if he invades.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.
QUINTANILLA: What's more likely -- a $2,000 tariff rebate check or a 50 year mortgage?

‘A Ukrainian witch kicks the crap out of Russian soldiers’: the new wave of horror films taking on Putin’s army
‘A Ukrainian witch kicks the crap out of Russian soldiers’: the new wave of horror films taking on Putin’s army
Homegrown, female-driven scary movies in which witches and zombies lay waste to invading troops are proving popular in Ukraine. But why seek out horror on screen if you have so much of it in real life?

How many times do I have to point out how conservatives always brag about good things are *going* to be as long as you give them enough time? Just look at this passage:
"... insurance *will* be better ... *gonna* be happy ... *gonna* feel like entrepreneurs ..."
It's always ponies and unicorns.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

I just want to reiterate, if you are using the front page of national newspapers to say how the media are biased against you, the standing assumption is that you are acting in bad faith. Remarkably, being silent is a key component of being silenced.

Of course, using claims of systematic bias as a means to drive systematic bias is also of a very old playbook. None of this is new, but the tactic of claiming conservatives are marginalised has been the modus operandi of the alt-right since the 2010s. They will destroy the BBC if they can.
