Holy shit. Trump lied to cadets at West Point saying he had to leave abruptly and couldn’t shake their hands because he had to deal with China and Russia.

Fascism must continually expand its definition of 'the other.'
Initially, specific groups are scapegoated, but over time, the regime narrows the boundaries of acceptable identity and behavior.
Even those once aligned with the regime can easily find themselves branded as enemies.

The actual is not what we are, but rather what we become, what we are in the process of becoming—that is the Other, our becoming-other.

In case you're wondering...
it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.
And nobody has been fired...

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

Stephen Colbert on #Signalgate. Summing up what happened, and why it matters. And why the people responsible would have known not to use Signal for matters relating to defence and security. Sometimes comedy is more informative than the news.
