Look how the USA treats the ICC judges:

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life

The USA is actively and knowingly hostile to international law and order.

We need more payment systems and IT systems that are not run by US companies, among other things.

In the case of Black veterans they want to pretend they didn't exist. You are not permitted to suggest that anyone but white people has ever achieved anything, or that some white people might be useless assholes, because it makes the fascist snowflake useless white assholes uncomfortable.

The little white supremacists running the USA are so fragile and insecure. They wouldn't have the courage to risk their lives for anything, unlike the soldiers they refuse to honor.

Stephen Miller is in charge anyway. The best thing that could happen is Trump dies and everyone who is left is so repulsive even to MAGAts that MAGA falls apart.

US news today: new restrictions on food for millions of Americans, millions of Americans lose healthcare, federal libraries closing and destroying their collections due to cuts, women given long prison sentences for losing pregnancies, man imprisoned for criticizing Charlie Kirk, military action in multiple countries, more innocent people kidnapped by Trump's Gestapo and disappeared to who knows where, Trump takes over arts center, names it after Trump and runs it into the ground while awarding himself pay, Trump announces a new triumphal arch honouring Trump to go with his new golden ballroom honouring Trump, economic collapse threatens due to scammy AI companies run by Trump-supporting billionaires. The USA is sinking fast. I hope it can dig itself out of this hole, for the sake of ordinary Americans and the rest of the world.

More vandalism from the Trump regime. Is there no organization that can volunteer to safeguard materials that would otherwise be thrown out?

Lemmy has many different user interfaces. You will want an instance that runs the Mlmym UI, like this one:

First reported in May 2024:

It looks like this:

And no one is sure whether its a juvenile colossal squid or some other similar species.

The revisions also feature a provision saying the president can be appointed as the chief executive officer and can be compensated for the position.

So he's making money off this. What a surprise.

Across half the USA and also everywhere else:

As a white man I'd like to report facing discrimination in my favor for the past several decades.

Some would say that when the USA is bombing the country, sinking its boats, killing its fishermen and stealing its oil tankers, war is already here.

The big question is whether they really mean that, and then whether they really notice what's happening. They may just assume the old false myth that the Republicans are better at managing the economy and double down on their support. Or they may just not want to admit that they don't care about the economy so long as the government is hurting LGBTQ+ and brown people.

I think the network of connections is still significant even if there's no evidence he was raping kids. Epstein to Bannon to Farage and Tommy Robinson: there's money from all over the world concentrated through these people into undermining the UK and other democracies.

This bit is interesting too (from a tweet quoted in the article):

Epstein emails Steve Bannon saying "Tommy Robinson!! Good Work" after Robinson travelled to the US to meet with Bannon in 2017.

It is interesting that Epstein has this to say to Bannon only months after meeting with Tommy when you also consider that Tommy is close friends with Andrew Tate, has attacked and lied about Tate's alleged victims and helped Tate spread propaganda about his human trafficking cases.

What did Bannon discuss with Tommy Robinson that pleased Jeffrey Epstein so much?

Legally, no. Physically, yes.

He won't fight Putin but he'll pretend not to be fighting for Russia. So is he going to put US troops in there with some ill-defined "peacekeeping" role and let them get enmired in another long war? Or is he going to contrive a situation where Ukraine has to fire on them, and then portray Ukraine as the aggressor while backing Putin's demands?

If the minds behind this are Trump and Hegseth, is there any chance there's a coherent strategy in it at all?

If true, this would be antithetical to everything the MAGA movement has stood for.

That's not a problem. The MAGA movement doesn't really have values.

He usually has sensible takes, but this one feels like he's lost in wishful thinking.

Trump also uses an autopen. He just claims that when he does it, it doesn't matter.
