It really does feel like we're in a new era in which the rich are openly contemptuous of laws and mock people who aren't.
J6, Elon's planet-scale CSAM machine, AI companies blithely defrauding everyone, 'gambling' sites to launder insider trading, crypto to launder drug/mob cash, etc, etc, etc

The fact that nothing is being done about this — and that people keep blithely hanging out on that site as though its owner and a key part of its official architecture aren’t actively enabling disgusting criminal abuse at scale — is making me lose my mind
Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

I don't _think_ fleeing Nazi scientists stole Hitler's left testicle, cultured it for decades in a vat of rat blood, and dumped it in a Santa Monica maternity ward in 1985. It's just unsettling that I can't rule it out.

The list of historic figures who said something like this only to end up facing a jury, mob, firing squad or executioner's blade is quite long and, honestly, pretty illuminating. Miller should read more books.
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

If the DC press corps devoted 10% as much effort to analyzing Trump's obvious mental issues as they have to sanewashing his babbling I think the last few years would have gone real different.

Trump hallucinated U.S. control of Venezuela and apparently we're just not going to worry about that?

Other nations really should be sanctioning us back into the stone age, despite all the economic havoc that'd wreak, and I expect they're going to soon regret it if they don't.
One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen.
- No reference to UN Charter legal justification
- Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned)
- Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal
- Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

The man is transparently an incompetent addled freak. There's no policy, just a bunch of contradictory compulsions that nobody can talk him out of and the press sanewashes into their own weird pseudo-theories.
Reporter: Are you going to demand that Delcy Rodriguez allow opposition figures to return or free any political prisoners?
Trump: We haven't gotten to that. Right now, we want to do is fix up the oil

From last October. Sure won't tamp down suspicions that Maduro's underlings—possibly his own VP—traded him to U.S. in exchange for Trump promising to look the other way on their own crimes and cartel connections.

I think if a world leader does something in gross violation of international law and the nation's alleged legislators make no move to stop it or impose consequences then they are likely to also be considered responsible for those crimes? Theoretically speaking, anyway.

This thread lays it out quite well and is consistent with everything else the Trumpers do. Trump doesn't want to end the corrupt regime: he just wants a piece of the action.
16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).
At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
All speculation, but let me explain:

It's wild that our clearly addled and hallucination-spouting POTUS appears to have little to no input in his own supposed policies and few in the upper echelons of journalism seem to either question that or care.
Here's the key passage from NYT.
Miller: I'm looking for ways to use WOT precedents to attack Latinos. Can we bomb Mexico?
Adults: Well, that would undermine efforts against drug trafficking.
CIA: How about fake boat bombings?
Miller: Death! I must have death!!!

Another possibility is that the U.S. won't be "running" squat, Trump invented it in a dementia-laced hallucination, and now aides are scrambling to figure out how to walk that back. Because he regularly hallucinates things that aren't true!
President Trump’s declaration that the U.S. planned to “run” Venezuela for an unspecified period, issuing orders to its government and exploiting its oil reserves, plunged the U.S. into a risky new era in which it will seek economic and political dominance over a nation of roughly 30 million people.
Trump Plunges the U.S. Into a New Era of Risk in Venezuela
President Trump opened a new chapter in American nation building as he declared that the United States had toppled Venezuela’s leader and would “run” the country for an indefinite period.

Other nations need to bar these freaks from entering. Shun them. Revoke their diplomatic papers. There's no reasoning with them, you don't have to pretend there is.
These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
