I don't buy this. In fact, I would be deeply surprised—indeed, shocked, 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙—were president Donald J. Trump, the most law-abiding public servant ever to grace this land, to fail to uphold the presidential tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 10h

President Trump’s request to Israel's parliament to dismiss corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upended American presidents’ tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.

You can bet that Trump and Bessent are using Argentina as a conduit to funnel majority of the $40b to their own slush fund accounts in bank havens like Switzerland or Dubai. Argentina gets a small cut. It’s a clean inside deal. The fix is in - as always with Trump.

Is it racist to remedy racismThat’s the question at the heart of Callais v. Louisiana,which the Supreme Court heard on Wednesday.The case asks whether the Voting Rights Act gives Black Louisianans too much political power and if so, whether the law violates the Constitution

The Supreme Court Is Poised to Rule That It’s Racist to Remedy Racism

It's going to be an electoral bonanza for Republicans.

What I've noticed about Donald is he doesn't care if he hurts other people to hurt whoever it is he's mad at. Case in point:

They don't care who they hurt, as long as they can hurt who they hate too.
This is why we don't have Universal Healthcare. This is why they won't raise the minimum wage. This is why SS doesn't pay enough.
This is why they defund schools, libraries, close public pools.
This who they are.

A model media outlet, in President Trump’s view, is one that gaslights Americans relentlessly.

"The premise is that America is not only not great, but evil to the core, and rotten, and needing to be torn down," Bari Weiss said of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

Just kidding! She said that about academia and her adopted profession of journalism.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.
