This is *extraordinary*. Trump is already seeking to stash his plunder in offshore havens beyond the reach of American law *while still president*!
Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

I honestly don't know. The order to use force in Greenland would be, on its face, illegal, even if some MAGA DOJ stooge writes an opinion blessing it, and it would require Americans to shoot at people they've trained and served with. The whole business is utterly insane.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social What effect would an invasion of Greenland have on the upper ranks of the armed forces?
Would we see mass resignation? Refusal to carry out orders, with those officers replaced by those who will?
I did read the article you wrote (thank you).

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."
The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

China’s concept of victory does not necessarily imply a rapid or total conquest. Instead, the report highlights Beijing’s focus on controlling warfare and managing escalation—using force selectively in ways intended to prevent a broader conflict from spiraling beyond China’s control.

I'm not saying something that people don't already know. But it's worth making the issue explicit. We have an elaborate jurisprudence of probable cause, rooted in explicit strictures in the constitution that places big limits on what police can do to you. Those limits may be honored in the breach...

A day after federal agents arrested Epstein in 2019, they were also apparently trying to contact 10 people they called potential 'co-conspirators,' according to a newly released email exchange.
All the names were redacted except three: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Leslie Wexner.

Personally, I’m all for reporters asking Trump questions about the fact some of his J6 buddies are in the news again. I’m sure he won’t mind mixing in some white nationalism along with his Epstein inspired pedophilia troubles.
Proud Boy leader & convicted/pardoned seditious conspirator Enrique Tarrio tweeted out a link to an hour long video by a white nationalist in which she and her co-host read Chapter 2 of Mein Kampf aloud. At the end, their gloss was that even Hitler wasn't totally bought in on hating Jews, at first.

Seeing Rep. Thomas Massie (!!!) sound more reality-based, and unhindered by "both-sides-ism," than the current anchor of a CBS news show.

Squint real hard, and you might just see the “WTAF?!” word balloon that pops above Rep. Massie’s head right after Margaret Brennan finishes her question.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
