Trump, who has long boasted about his knowledge of nuclear weapons, and his negotiating prowess, has been waiting for this moment for 42 years, so naturally he’s got a plan, the best plan, a really strong and smart plan, a plan like no one has ever seen before: bsky.app/profile/atom...

The right-wing bullshit machine is operating at full steam & across all cylinders today, strategically framing the horrific ICE killing of a MN woman to defend/bolster their political aims. For exampe, Trump's message (below) will shape how his supporters (willfully mis)interpret the video evidence.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes.
Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?

Dear Europe, especially Germany,
Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.
Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.
He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

EPSTEIN: even today, after the release of the key Epstein-Maxwell emails in which Epstein says Trump knew about the "girls" but hasn't "barked" (presumably, talked), the NYT reports that the WH is intensely pressuring the House NOT to vote to release more? How much worse is what we have not seen?

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election.
A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:
