„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Given the apparent turf war over Ukraine between JD Vance and Marco Rubio, maybe a good time to revisit my theory that JD was vetted differently (in 2022, but not again in 2024, and therefore possibly by Thiel) than Rubio (in 2024, a more traditional VP vetting).

Not to minimize what it took to get there, but not only were the charges against Marimar Martinez (shot by CBP in Chicago) dropped, but they're keeping her car to investigate the goons in the incident.
This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent.

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia.
Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
