President Bone Spurs has now insulted the veterans of Canada and other Nato countries. Who did they sacrifice for? A new Trump low when we thought no lower was possible. America you should be so embarrassed.

. . . It is the same precise argument made by Stephen Miller on tv for the US policy. Thucidides then proceeded to narrate the destruction of the Athenian Empire due to their bad judgement and poor leadership skills. The press missed it. Carney did not. Read history.

Carney's reference to thucidides was apt. But it was not an aphorism but a quote. The statement that power is its own justification was used by a powerful faction in atehensvt justify the brutal destruction of the island of Melos . . .

We must finally and irrevocably learn that trumpets - even Stephen Millar - mean what they say. The fascist inflection point is on us and we must decide and act. Resist!

It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

Hannah Natanson is an exceptional reporter and should never have been subjected to this type of extraordinary intimidation tactic. We have few details now, but it’s hard to interpret this as anything other than an attempt to squash the freedom of the press.
