Not Ric Grenell. He seems so honest.
The crimes are happening everywhere, all the time. We’re going to learn about staggering amounts of corruption.

The US now has the Thiel-Vance foreign policy, the Steve Witkoff foreign policy, the Jared Kushner foreign policy, the Marco Rubio foreign policy, and once in a blue moon the Donald Trump foreign policy... and Putin and Netanyahu plus Saudi, UAE & Qatar drive most of it.

If you’re a KGB guy who watched the Berlin Wall fall, and spent every waking moment of your life plotting the collapse of the west, this is kind of what it would look like. Sort of like how seeing MBS in the White House would have tickled Osama Bin Laden pink.
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace

Trump’s first-term sanctions against Venezuela caused an inflation crisis that allowed AI companies to swoop in and exploit a highly educated, but underemployed working class into gig work in data annotation. Between this and oil, it’s just pure extraction.
no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.
US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.
Covert ops the first move.

A Baptist lady named Ada ran a convalesce out of the house next to my grandparents, taking in poor, sick people who went to her church. She also helped raise my mom and her 15 siblings. Her recipes are always made to have some to give away. This is an ancient, very humble coffee cake.

yeah I know the felching bit stood out for a lot of people but my jaw dropped at "sat on prior knowledge of a catch-and-kill scheme on behalf of a guy whose now measlesmaxxing the U.S. population"
something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Prolly a lot of talk around turkey communities this time of year about how taking down the statue of the Thanksgiving butcher doesn’t “deny our Turkey heritage.”

A fire tore through Joshua Tree National Park during the government shutdown, seemingly torching more than 1,000 Joshua trees. And it's possible there will be little or no active restoration thanks to Trump administration cuts. www.latimes.com/environment/... via @lilaseidman.bsky.social
Hundreds of Joshua trees were scorched during the shutdown
A firefighter with the National Park Service says a fire wiped out more than a thousand Joshua trees amid the government shutdown. Restoration could be limited by a depleted staff, they said.

Sam Altman has said exactly this. New business don’t even try to make a product. Just manufacture hype, manufacture consent, entrench, and get bailed out my taxpayers.
The real AI "business model" is was to bring in all the politicians, billionaires, and major Wall Street players early with the promise of impossibly huge returns and set the whole thing up so that it would go from not even existing to "too big to fail" before anyone outside the scheme could stop it

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.
