The result of the party in power viewing American hegemony as an inevitability rather than the carefully cultivated state of affairs that required decades of effort and maintenance.
They pissed it away so they could look big and tough, and now the world is going to move on from the US.

The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

Anybody who wants this man to be president is just asleep at the wheel. Like… do you want a president who will do absolutely nothing to reverse the ascendancy of American fascism AND ALSO actively hates trans people?
He’s just “What if Biden but even worse for the moment?”

I keep coming back to “a cannonball does not stop to ask about loyalties,” a quote (probably misattributed) to some time in the revolutionary war.
This cannot continue. They will come for you. Even if they don’t mean to, they’ll come for your neighbors and you’ll be acceptable collateral damage.

Huh. I must have missed the presumption of innocence that was afforded to Renee Nicole Good as she was being executed.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

At around the 2:30 mark, Feds have cleared their path and are making their exit. They proceed to deploy chemical agents against the crowd, even though the confrontation has ended and there is no tactical or strategic benefit. The sole purpose is to inflict pain on people for standing up to them.

The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.
On these counts, Congress has failed.

This is why I get so mad about Zionist advocates insisting that anti-Zionism is antisemitic.
The kind of person committing an act like this is not parsing foreign policy. They see The Jewish Monolith of Israel and act with that in mind, despite how incorrect that idea is.

Ok, but here is the thing, right, if I got angry about Saudi Arabian aggression against Yemen and decided to blow up a mosque in Brooklyn, that motivation would not actually be exculpatory, you know?
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.
