if the US wants to repair relationships across the board, we need to do more than just switch policy post election.
US needs to show it in fact wants to crush fascism permanently at home, and do so. 1

Big sense in Europe that they have bigger things to deal with thanks to Russia and this is being kicked when they are down, and big sense in Canada of very visceral betrayal, and neither of these are a single election away from trivial repair

As it happens, the Republican party is lousy with corrupt pedophiles, so it should be relatively easy to do without having to resort of explicitly political prosecutions.

And to be clear, I don't mean "we have to vote them out extra hard." I mean that the next Democratic trifecta has to use the power of the law and, if necessary, the state's monopoly on violence to end it.

The only mechanism Democrats will have for regaining the US's diplomatic standing with Europe is take take extreme measures against the Republican party. They will never trust us again unless they think the Republican party in its current form is dead.

The person who is actually executing all this stuff, Marco Rubio, was confirmed by every single Democrat in the U.S. Senate.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

You mean Tesla shareholder "I see no conflict of interest in adjudicating every Elon case" Reed O'Connor
X’s terms are insanely agressive, and basically represent an effort to force every litigation against Musk—even ongoing suits—into Reed O’Connor’s courtroom.
The X Terms of Service are amazing in many regards, but the choice of law and choice of forum parts (in Section 6) are a real standout. They apply to everything, including patent disputes, apply to pending and future disputes without regard to when the conduct occurred (or will occur)...

Outrageous beyond words. Not even an investigation? The people involved should die in jail, starting with Blanche himself.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.
