I was today years old when I learned that the “Cultural Marxism” talking point we hear from Republicans like Ted Cruz is a literal Nazi conspiracy theory.
It has its roots in Kulturbolschewismus, or Cultural Bolshevism, which the Nazis threw around to discredit their opposition.

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

The US empire is both disgusting and stupid. Every day I think this regime can’t get any dumber and it somehow does.

“He/she has always been nice to me” is at the root of most of what ails this fucked up country of ours. Ask yourself how many times you’ve heard it used to minimize horrific/immoral behavior, or more often, absolve a person from having to deal with awkwardness or confrontation. AKA cowardice.

It's about restoring Rubio's grifter friends to the palace, the oil thing is the cover story for the rubes and the companies who don't want to produce any more because prices are already in suicidal territory have to be bullied to prop it up
Very important signal here. You can say it's abt oil. And part of it is. But the White House is actually being forced to strongarm the oil companies to get involved. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
Trump admin sends tough private message to oil companies on Venezuela
The White House has told companies they must rebuild Venezuela's crude-pumping infrastructure if they want compensation for assets seized by Caracas.

Tesla’s profits in Q4 2025 should be horrible, in light of its year-end pumps in many regions. Taiwan is a good example: December Tesla deliveries were 5,547 units (+190% YoY), and made up 64% of Tesla’s full-year sales in Taiwan during 2025, after being down 18% YTD through November 2025.
Tesla's Q4 is Way Worse Than the Headlines
Tesla rammed through tons of cheap Model Ys in Asia and Europe during the last 2 months of 2025. Profit margins in Q4 2025 and this year should be razor-thin to negative.

It's very funny when NPR is
interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"
