The US's ability to spend on its own military is largely a function of the dollar being the global reserve currency and the US's consequent ability to borrow like there's no tomorrow to fund it

Both are becoming less secure bets.

When the USA tells other countries to spend more on their militaries, we shouldn't forget that the US military spends a lot of money on things that have nothing to do with defending the US from foreign enemies.
NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Crypto's documented financial reliance on the Epstein Class, including Epstein himself, should be a HUGE red flag.
If you were into crypto, I'd think Don Jr. and Eric enthusiastically shilling for it might be the sign to get out now.

They may not be very brave, but it would probably be a mistake to think the brave outnumber the cowards, the complicit and the complacent in any society.
Today in Nazi cowardice, Second Sons held a flag waving event in Ottawa on the weekend. According to Alex Vriend when questioned about it by a woman he lied and told her they were a hockey team.
They're so proud of their beliefs from the safety of the internet.

Why the @jamestalarico.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social kerfuffle matters? It has to do with keeping Talarico’s message of what it means to be a Christian away from MAGA. @hcrichardson.bsky.social goes into detail around the 45:57 mark.
