Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Quand, dans un système bipartisan, l'autre parti est décrit comme un ennemi composé de traitres, il ne faut pas s'attendre à ce que le système bipartisan fonctionne, ni à ce que l'alternance du pouvoir, classique en démocratie, se passe convenablement, ni que les élections soient propres

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.
Fucking hell.

Think the referance to US Law Enforcement here is quite telling as well: a huge extension of how far the US feels its laws reach.

Apparently its fine to now attack and kidnap a head of state because of 'US law'. Fucking hell.
Trump says Maduro is in US custody.

Tout ce que fait ou touche Trump finit par s'effondrer, et les Etats-Unis comme puissance ne feront pas exception.

Ne pas se tromper: ces actes de puissance brute ne peuvent pas masquer que sur le temps plus long, cette administration détruit TOUS les piliers de la puissance US

Pardon mais il y a de solides arguments en droit et en faits pour ne pas comparer le Kosovo au reste.
Sauf à considérer qu'il fallait 1) laisser le régime de Milošević nettoyer le Kosovo de 85% de sa population et/ou 2) dire à cette même population après 1999 qu'elle reste sous svnté serbe
1/2
Selon moi, le ver est dans le fruit depuis bien plus longtemps. L'invasion de l'Irak, voire la reconnaissance du Kosovo dont je pensais déjà à l'époque qu'elle servirait de contre-exemple à n'importe quelle aventure russe ou chinoise.

Les nationalistes auto-proclamés les plus bruyants détestent toujours leur pays réel puisque leur postulat est la pureté d'un temps zéro corrompu par des agents étrangers (juifs, arabes, communistes).
MAGA = littéralement retour pré-fin de la ségrégation et émancipation des femmes. Zéro surprise
one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Where Are Aou Going, America?
 
At the start of 2026, America is no longer a democracy. That doesn’t mean authoritarianism has won. But merely restoring the pre-Trump status quo won’t work.

The country needs a democratic transformation.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)
Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

There is an admittedly minute chance that Trump at one point tires of Putin repeatedly making a public fool of him.

As they say, “fool me sixty-seven times in a row, shame on you.”

Of course this assumes Trump is a simply moron, not an actual Russian asset.
