Long retired economist, inter alia. Political economy determines your nation's life course. Not a bad idea to turn control away from the exploiters and to give power back to Ordoliberal social policy. The returns are developmental. New Deal II, why not III
It's the GOP and Trump denying the insurrection. The GOP are the gravest threat to American institutions. The concept of justice in law is gone.

GOP senators threaten to impeach judges who rule against Trump

The GOP ratcheted up their criticism of — and pressure on — the federal judiciary Wednesday, arguing at a Senate Judiciary Committee panel that some of the judges who have ruled against Trump’s administration deserve to be impeached.

oil market with 40% control of real time supply - to both help oil companies, US national income and RU?

Do we watch US/Arabic relations/agreements? The next three months will be interesting since the EU has substantially reduced RU export revenue. united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Are Sanctions Working? Russia’s Oil Revenue Collapse Says It All
Sanctions, falling prices, and drone strikes are squeezing Russia’s oil revenues to 2020 lows—undermining the Kremlin’s war chest and global influence.

If the claim made Trump is a Russian asset then one would expect the oil price to rise so RU is able to better fund its war. However, Venezuelan supply or restriction of it can lower or increase price. Evidently, US firms also control supply and gain from higher price. Will the US manipulate the

Why doesn't Trump just make the allegory really obvious and invade Poland next?

An example of the legislative/regulatory trick's used by the RW to put Londoners in danger by defunding London's necessary infrastructure.

Fascinating. Palmer has drawn equivalence to ICE murdering a civilian as Saigon Police Chief murdering a VC Captain in civilian garb, during war. Both are summary executions. Both require arrest, trial before execution. Yet is that sufficient equivalence? Love to read others min and max conditions.

A long distant Robin Williams Science Show - some 10 yrs maybe 15 yrs ago the head of Scripps or Woods Hole Institute, THEN said the ocean's will turn into a soup fit for jellyfish and little else. We have seen with algae blooms how it will happen. Baader Meinhoff for fossil fuel CEO's.

This is an interregnum. China is coming and they will be far more sophisticated yet far more brutal than this lot of boorish amateurs.

This is an admission the United States is an ungovernable, rogue state in the hands of those who defeated democracy, justice and the rule of law.

You and your husband are the worst corporate Democrats. You were never going to restructure America just milk it.

US values the rule of Law - really?

No different to the RW in Australia.
2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and elected Trump as dictator.

I think of Alcibiades in our current world 'reduced' to a side kick or minor figure due to his pursuit of material failure. Yet, I suspect had Alcibiades been an American he would have left every other person in his wake in this modern world, accomplishing his ambition.

He was always going to fold against his proper reasoning. Labor took a hiding from Australia's RW MSM and business power brokers over the Voice Ref and the initial campaign politicising the Bondi attacks. Labor always corrects to power for survival and it's why we won't have structural change.

Your understanding is valid and right. One agrees. These politicians have no interest in governance, in a view of the national interest that concerns the people. Hold no justified axiomatic belief about our future other than an opportunism on the backs of rapine firms. Hoped Mangione start of RBF.

I don't understand the numbers, 1m + 5m + prev releases of Epstein documents. A brilliant literary figure may have several thousand notes, papers, letters. But how does Epstein who spent more time fornicating minors than writing, end up with over 7m or so related documents?

Stylus broke. Oh damn, suppose we have to buy a whole new unit.

That's doubtful unless the US intends to discredit the UK. Labor may....ok, at best, may...have a quiet strategic plan to return to the EU as a member state in the LR. There is no way the EU would allow the UK to return to the European community if its sovereign territory was attacked from the UK.

Certainly agree, however, it was important (to me at least) to highlight Canavan's hypocrisy.

Trump will further Putin's aims bc Europe will retaliate and plaintively state if you wish to dissolve the alliance good luck, you're dealing with China on your own. Trump is evidently a Russian asset and his/Putin's strategic goal is division to weaken the West.
January 6, 2026 at 1:03 PM
It's worse than that. The point of the US seeking Greenland is to cause division with Europe over a false pretext of American security (the US doesn't need Greenland at all.) It is to provide Trump a position disavowing Europe for America's 'security.' When it's just Putin's bidding to weaken Europe
