After hearing Trump blather on for some 40 minutes with the new Canadian PM Mark Carney sitting there, I’d like to apologize to our longtime ally for this uneducated, ill-informed buffoonery and bombast pretending to be strength.

This is, hands down, the most useful piece of political information to obtain on a daily based. I wish I had summations like this from day one, exactly in this format.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Dear America. Due process is not something that doesn’t apply if you did a crime. It’s literally how we determine you did a crime. Due process is not just the ‘way’ of the justice system. It’s the ‘why’ as well.
Due process means we all matter or none of us do. Act accordingly

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

I think this is the same dilemma the Europeans are facing. They could write off the first Trump administration as a fluke, but now they have to realize that the American political system can produce disaster more than once.
has nothing to do with anger or forgiveness. the US political system is not strong enough to trust. it’s too risky a bet now, regardless of whatever empty assurances a future friendly administration give.

The safer you are in an environment of rising authoritarianism, the more obligation you have to make some noise on behalf of the people who are more vulnerable than you. Indeed, this is the only way you might avoid having the leopards eat your face.

"The president is proudly showing America and the alliance of democracies it once led that he is on the side of the world’s dictators." @radiofreetom.bsky.social and his social media handle remind us of all we're losing (though he does find a bright spot in that Kari Lake may be out of a job).
The Kremlin and other autocracies have long ached to see Voice of America and Radio Liberty destroyed, but even in their most fevered dreams, they could never have imagined that the Americans would do the dirty work themselves.

Another Gift From Trump to the World’s Dictators
Russia and China are surely thrilled by the president’s decision to close Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Marti, and Radio Free Asia.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.
