Martin Wolf: The truism that the future is uncertain is made more concrete when the principal guest at a conference on a Swiss mountain has declared a trade war for territory against his country’s closest allies, many of whose leaders are also guests.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

Big flag: Trump says "people will soon be prosecuted" for their roles in the 2020 election. He says the election was "rigged." It was not rigged. But his threat should be taken seriously.

Trump: "Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. We can argue about it but there's no argument. Friends come back from different places and say, 'I don't recognize it.' And that's not in a positive way. That's in a very negative way."

"Canada lives because of the United States" is...simply false.
But Trump has transposed his megalomania onto the country, and now he's taking the U.S. down with him on his fantasy adventure as world emperor.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful, also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States — remember that, Mark."

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Note, whatever number this is, it is the basis for Stephen Miller's demanded deportation, divided by day, & the source of his 3,000/day target (which ICE has never met), which is what leads ICE to snatch random brown people from the streets rather than spending the time to find the actual criminals.
No one on Fox News has a consistent number for the number of migrants who entered the country during the Biden admin. Even Trump couldn't keep it straight. During his campaign it went from 15 million to 21 million. After he was elected it was 25 million even 30 million. 🤷♀️

This. The entitlement it took to shoot her and film himself doing it, the complicity of the men who didn’t offer aid, the entitlement, complicity and hatred of women the VP shows when he shares it and applauds. I think a DV record boosts the chances of an applicant getting hired.
As a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence, I cannot describe how much it pains me to hear the Vice President say we owe a debt of gratitude to man who shot a woman in the face and then called her a fucking bitch.
