I think there is a serious fucking chance he takes action inside of Mexico and makes an insane grab for Greenland. Why shouldn’t he? He hasn’t been punished yet.

has a military and executive that is entirely subservient to him. It is impossible to know what is performance and I really don’t think the doddering pedophile really knows the difference anymore, either. He reads the lies on fox news and repeats them as policy and his government enacts them.

can’t be emphasized enough how much of this is a game to trump. he says it because it is red meat to his base, who are increasingly nazified and filled with christian nationalists, and it gives him breathless coverage by a largely defanged media apparatus. The real problem, of course, is that he—
TRUMP: Colombia is very sick too. Run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the US, and he's not gonna be doing it very long
Q: So there's will be an operation by the US in Colombia?
TRUMP: Sounds good to me

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

One of the many levels at which the vast majority of American Catholics just desperately want to be evangelicals
I think Mamdani really hit a nerve with the reactionaries this time. Absolute crack pipe take to say that the sacraments of the Church are individualistic. Not a single one of the sacraments is individualistic. Hell is full of individuals though.

“They want Venezuela’s oil” — I mean, sort of. Not badly enough to plan what they’re doing or seriously try to get it. A huge, humiliating defeat looms. You think these idiots bothered to set up a green zone? If I’m an oil exec I’m thinking that if I fly to Caracas rn I’m coming back in a body bag

Charlie Kirk was a husband and a father. We heard it over and over again
Only certain types of people get to be husbands and fathers. Some people are simply civilians. Faceless, nameless and without consequence. Civilians die. It's what they do

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

The obvious downsides of a schizophrenic global hegemon are one reason I don't have much patience for commentators who counsel taking it slow & easy. We have to salt the earth so that the Republican party never rises again, & that entails a radical approach
The significant part of it for Americans is going to be recognizing the role the republican party as currently constituted plays in the alliance of global antidemocratic forces
We should think broadly about this as the menagerie of democracies constituting it may include states that don't yet exist and other powerful corporate bodies politic that aren't territorial states at all.
It feels like things are going to get much weirder very soon and we should brace ourselves.
