The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

It's disappointing to see people who claim to be serious & want to see it end, but whose entire approach is to scream that it's their own fault & that we should ostracize them. Some even claima cult isn't a cult.

One of Trump’s first actions was to pardon two dozen anti-abortion extremists convicted of violating the FACE Act - the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics.
Afterwards, JD Vance told a crowd of anti-abortion activists they would “never have the government go after them ever again.”
