  • The US is an unreliable partner in all aspects of diplomacy and economic trade. The fact that the UN has been structured in such a way that the organization cannot meaningfully check the US, is a poison pill that undermines its entire mission.

  • I like how the article doesn’t even attempt to communicate a potential benefit to doing this or any rationale for why this is useful or good at all. Of course, the real rationale is that it allows the administration to hand wave about being “innovative” without backing that assertion with any substance. It also allows the administration to apply some of the supposed legitimacy of the US government to this wholly pointless, fraud riddled joke of a technology. JFC, this is such a clown of a nation.

  • It’s just wild that Israel is permanently allowed to attack all of the nations in the region with both military and terroristic operations, without any meaningful pushback from the international community. It’s almost as outrageous as the fact that they’re allowed to also permanently occupy, oppress, torture, murder, displace, imprison, and genocide an entire population without any meaningful opposition from the international community.

  • Ok then. This sounds exactly like the stuff all you Second Amendment aficionados have been warning about my entire life. I assume that you’re all prepping, and gearing up to take out these federal goons when they show up in your town. Right? I mean, if this isn’t it, then you’ve just been cosplaying that ‘don’t tread on me’ bravado this whole time. Time to put up.

  • Thing is, Democrats won’t even do that. There will be some milquetoast consternation, they may even furrow their brows. They will lament the actions of the administration and a billion fundraising emails will be sent to octogenarian inboxes. But, they won’t get angry. They won’t rally support. They won’t shame the fascist republicans. They won’t propose legislation, even to just raise awareness. They won’t actually DO anything meaningful.

  • Would I prefer a President Newsom to a President trump? Yes. Is Newsom trash that won’t actually change anything about how this country is broken or won’t change how corrupt the Democratic Party is, or won’t meaningfully improve Americans’ material conditions in a sustainable way? Yes.

    People need to understand that what neoliberals like Newsom represent, is a perpetuation of everything that sucks about modern American governance. He might perform rhetorically in a satisfying way, some of the time, but he LITERALLY stands for NOTHING other than solidifying his own power and facilitating ’markets’. That’s it. While he is better at the speaking part of this job than some other Democratic Party leaders, understand that words are as deep as this dickhead gets. He and his corporate consultants will not actually improve anything, won’t meaningfully roll back fascism, won’t hold Republicans accountable, won’t reign in or regulate corporations, won’t give you healthcare, won’t stop the genocide, won’t fix media, won’t reform campaign funding, won’t build infrastructure, won’t prosecute business fraud, and on and on.

  • As the now winded president crawled backward from Putin’s chair, he took a moment to wipe his chin with the red silk tie still draped around his neck. He grasped the table to steady himself as he rose to his feet again, turning and taking a moment regain composure. Turning back, he was greeted by the kind of vexing stare that he’d grown used to from the Russian oligarch. There was a moment of silent tension in the room. Even JD, still grasping himself in the far corner, refused to move for fear of disrupting the tension. Slowly Vladimir’s hand rose. A bead of sweat broke free and streamed around the president’s quietly quivering gullet. Donald could see Putin’s hand rotating, but he already knew the verdict. The stalwart Russian held his thumb down longer than necessary, in the Russian way. The Washington aides started backing out of the room as secret service radios began buzzing on the tarmac. “Fire up the bird,” an agent whispered to the flight crew. “We’re not staying.”
