If Trump regrets not using the military to steal the 2020 election, does anyone really think he won't do it in 2026?

Imagine sinking tens of billions into Venezuela only to have Trump come back at you in a year or two and extort you to buy his crypto or donate to his family charity. It would be a shame if your oil concession got cancelled…

I guess Exxon didn't assure Trump they would give him the bribe he wanted in exchange for letting them “do business” in Venezuela.

Countless opeds about Mamdani being a "socialist" and are literally any of those publications talking about Donald Trump not just claiming to take over a country but deciding what companies are allowed/not allowed to operate in that foreign country?
Apparently Exxon won't have the privilege of having their stuff nationalized a third time in Venezuela bc Darren Woods told the truth at what was meant to be a performed loyalty session.

Farage is consolidating a reactionary populist coalition organised around grievance identity, anti-institutionalism, and episodic conspiracism, closely mirroring the structural dynamics of MAGA while adapting them to UK political culture. And look how that worked out for America.
99 per cent of analysis I’m reading about Zahawi is way too involved. To the extent people pay attention to this at all, it will be to note that Reform are doing well and hear someone else say Farage will/can be PM. Also: are Reform the same old Tories or something new and scary?

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:
In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”
