Does any journalist have the sand to ask Trump to list the 10 wars he’s stopped? I bet he can’t remember more than four countries names, let alone list actual conflicts around the world.

“What will happen when the teeming billions of the so-called Third World—driven by unbearable hunger and despair, the inevitable consequences of insensate over-population—descend locust-like on the lush lands of the complacent white nations?”

FIFA is an obscure organisation to me. I’ve never been a football person and so I have no real impression of them as an entity but it seems frankly weird to me that they created a “peace prize”. Was there not enough football?

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.

Every world leader should be meeting with Trump, and taking the time to point at him and laugh their ass-off at what a pathetic joke he is. It’s in the world’s best interest to get this joke out of office as fast as possible.

This is the way forward. No more working together to protect your office, limo driver and pension. Your work is fundamentally against freedom and the rights of peoples if you work in anyway with a republican, full stop.
Look if you're running for office as a Dem and ever say you're working across the aisle, you're a white supremacist, or, at best, the person who wants to work with the white supremacists so you're a white supremacist. Anyway. Just a note for anyone running

Trump is illegitimately in office: The plain text of the 14th amendment excludes him from being president, no matter what the corrupt Supreme Court said about that.
His pardons are illegitimate and the criminals he frees must face future consequences.

The Liberal Party under Carney has fundamentally betrayed at least half of its supporters in the hopes of gaining two seats in Alberta. I don’t imagine they’ll last beyond 2026, nor do they deserve to.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

That Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence in Brazil for attempting a coup, while an America president who did the same thing is not only free, but trying to help him escape is exactly the kind of thing that makes the U.S. a third world country.
