I am going to post my favorite examples of pseudo-science/cod-history that I semi-sort of believe in.

Good thread
A concept I've been meaning to float to make sense of what's happened to the US Constitution is an idea from the British constitutional tradition: "implied repeal."
It's useful because it helps us to understand that Article I, & much else of the US Constitution, has been implicitly repealed.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

“The gemstone dates to the late 1st century B.C. or early 1st century A.D. It was set in silver and converted into a seal between 1200 and 1400.” 🏺
Medieval seal with Roman chariot intaglio found in Essex – The History Blog
This example was discovered by a metal detectorist in Gosfield last September. It has been declared treasure and will be offered to a local museum for the assessed value. If there are no takers, the finder gets to reclaim it.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

Welp can't say I didn't see this being the logical outcome of having all the military shit.....
Nobody believes the absurd cardboard façade about this being about drugs. Not even him
Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

We need a Universal Dividend that guarantees a dignified humane standard of life beyond mere survival for every person.
It should be funded by the billionaires and millionaires who Trump gave 2 trillion in tax cuts over two presidencies to & AI companies that used all our data to enrich themselves.

i think that people really underestimate reality that
1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man
2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually
3) might not have happened if trump tower caracas
