Trump isn’t interested in truth. He is interested in subordination and control. The apology conveys to me that the BBC thinks they can sweep this under the rug with a robust “sorry,” but that’s just opened the door to an authoritarian to come at them. Where are the journalists to say “no, enough?”

Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

The civilizational system of control Trump, Musk, Thiel, and many of their ideological coattail-riders seek to establish is a form of neo-feudalism.
This is why the neo-Ancien Régime of Trump and the PayPal Mafia needs medieval solutions.
