CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

I'm back on QAA this week, talking about the YouTubers who travel to London to tell their audience that western civilization is collapsing, and that England's supposedly lawless, multi-ethnic capital city is at the heart of it. The episode is called London Has Fallen.

The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.
miller is regularly blamed but vance is not held to any account at all for having started the chain of events that got us here
As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets."

For years, American conservatives have preached about the 2nd Amendment, open carry, and federal authority, yet when a US citizen is shot by federal law enforcement, they rush to conclusions before any investigation has even begun. It has always been about hollow partisanship

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?
More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House.

Abuser mentality - since we are weak and being hurt, we should stop fighting back because we're just making it harder on ourselves.
Russians really do not understand that their actions and words don't match - they think they're being perfectly consistent. Their peace is our surrender.

A simple question you need to ask everyone confused about whether Russians maybe “want peace” with Ukraine: why does Russia KEEP committing atrocities against Ukrainians then?
Surely it's harder to make peace with someone if you're convincing them DAILY that you're still trying to genocide them?

The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

All it takes for Trump to change his mind is for some journalist to ask him whether he really means it.
The problem with Trump is that journalists have incredible policy formation power now that a single leading question can give him an idea, which then becomes policy instantly in a live interview

It is very naive to think that the tensions over Greenland have been reduced, along with the threat it represents, after Trump's speech.
Latching on to a single phrase, glossing over the rest of it, is sticking ones head in the sand.
Hoping it just goes over isn't a strategy.
