If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

Happy New Year Everyone! It's weird reaching that age when you have a pretty decent idea of what's going to eventually nudge you off this mortal coil.
I'm 99% sure at this stage for me it's going to be either putting on a pair of skinny jeans or removing a pair of skinny jeans. Jesus fuck.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months? The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work? Nothing is pointing in this direction, except for elite spending on tennis seats and gambling.

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!
