Trump's intelligence chiefs try to rewrite the history of 2016 election Their ‘rewritings’ will simply be corrected by succeeding (democratic)generations, furthermore generations to come and possibly their own children will rue their appearance on the political scene & read of their ghastly doings.
I believe this together with the switch to coercive measures and disrupting patterns of interdependence ( ref.your article ‘The End of the Long American Century’ , portends the hollowing out of American authority in the world,as we witness the horrific effects of Israel’s grip on US foreign policy.
Doesn’t that fit so nicely into the deregulatory doctrine of the GOP which is driving what America has firmly stood for for almost a century, into the ground.
U.S. hits International Criminal Court judges with sanctions over investigation into Israel Bizarre and wrong! Says much about America, which will never be respected again as long as it continues to cherry pick when it is willing to stand up for justice.
‘Wherefore’ condenses a few words or a phrase into one remarkable word. Try to find it’s equal. Many people shun the use of such beautiful words. Very wrongly in my view.
How dare the Ukrainians cause Russia to suffer such an inelegant attack! (sarcasm)
I agree ; maybe that Original Sin is to compromise on doing what is right for the cause of self preservation? Just like the atrocities of Israel seem to be glossed over. I, as i imagine many others have, have lost all respect and all interest in CNN @jaketapper.bsky.social
news.sky.com/story/trump-... Do people still watch Piers Morgan?
Is this oil on canvas? Very nice, it has a Pierneef quality about it.
www.politico.com/news/2025/04... She supported Trump, made clownish speeches in Congress in support of Clownish Republicans; how on earth does she expect to have the trust of the electorate? There really are no bounds to GOP delusions of grandeur! The wrecking balls want ur vote to wreck some more!
That is to say the US administration of course.
news.sky.com/story/jd-van... Indeed you disastrous administration needs at least a bare minimum something to show some raison d'être.
Putin calling for elections in Ukraine and warning that America should be taken seriously regarding Greenland are two sides of the same coin where the interests of Authoritarianism converge. The point of convergence has arrived. Putin is seeking convergence with the US, testing its likeness.

Dutch Public TV spoof on Zelensky's meeting with Trump and Vance
OMGosh. Dutch Public TV spoof of Zelenskyy's meeting with JD Vance and Trump in the Oval Office...
As a Catholic I am appalled that Vance should speak at ANY OFFICIAL CATHOLIC gathering. Time for the Bishops to ban him; his arrogance,dictatorial leanings, the lies peddled, insincere & duplicitous dealings most esp towards Ukrainians is reason enough! Time for US Catholics to write their Bishops.
news.sky.com/story/russia... They have the TRUMP CARD. The question remains… WHY? Seems to me the Mueller investigation was no ‘witch-hunt’.
He also believes ‘Russia holds all the cards’ So how are we to take seriously his ‘non-card’ threat to Russia. I don’t see any real will or seriousness just a red-herring to diffuse the focus and attention off his remarkable abandonment of Western norms & values & erstwhile allies.
news.sky.com/story/us-vic... Part of the Grand Old Party of Clowns, a gathering of non-leaders. In fact now the collective noun for Republicans; a Clownish gathering of Republicans. Or some say, a non-leadership of Republicans.
…GOP provides. It’s crowning achievement, it’s full flowering, the Trump, Vance, Musk oligarchic regime. 3/3
…the world. The contribution of Lindsey Graham and his ilk over the decades to foreign policy and Geopolitics (let alone domestic) has left MUCH to be desired during his years (oh may HE resign for the good of many!!) and is symbolic of the dysfunction and sub-mediocre ‘leadership’ that the…2/3
www.thedailybeast.com/turncoat-lin... Absolute and utter disaster’ Lindsey Graham ( The great switcheroo!!!) must be speaking of his tenure as a politician. Lindsey Graham is the TYPE and symbol of why America courtesy of the GOP cannot be taken seriously as an ally by democracies around …1/3
Trump should never have received the kid-glove treatment Mueller gave him. Is there kompromat on Trump that Putin shared with Elon? Does that explain the second fiddle role Trump is playing with respect to Musk?
Now you get to create the misery all by yourself.
Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
No it leaves Europe confirming its suspicions. The US cannot be relied upon as a partner, and new economic and political strategic parternidhips will have to be forged. US can take its Yo-yo Lindsey Graham style politics and take a hike. The US should be sanctioned.
America will not address the problem of influence peddling, lobbying with the Chequebook and campaign funding by the wealthy in the political domain. Those inconsistencies are exploited by fellow oligarchs and despots. 3/3
This is why other ‘Western democracies’ are often on the double-take wondering why America is so inconsistent in the application of the democratic norms and values. It is because private enrichment and governance have been going hand in hand…2/3
The US chiefly through the Republican Party has been f***ing around with notion of democracy and good governance for some time now. Mainly through the unbridled greed of its public representatives, giving full force to the baked-in American principle of Individualism. 1/3
abcnews.go.com/Internationa... Zelensky called it like it is. A sad period for America. The Gulf of America is the one Donald Trump and Elon Musk are creating between the true democracies, with its norms and values and the Trojan horse of Oligarchal despotism they are unleashing now.
Great example set.
It doesn’t even matter to them if one finds out their lies. Or perhaps they don’t expect people to think, say anything, it really doesn’t matter to them.
Maybe the penny should drop. Maybe it is because people don’t want or need it. But no, they must force new technologies onto us so that new avenues of wealth may open up for them.
Was the deal, we will ensure we pour the necessary resources into your campaign to ensure you win, and all your legal troubles go away, and in return (since your non-political mind doesn’t manufacture policy anyway) you leave all the policy decisions to the rest of us. The Mar-A-Largo meetings?
Agree, America is no longer the standard bearer for democracy, they have thrown it away,and by trying to throw their weight around now are suggesting to the rest of the democratic world that it should assist American in its project of self-isolation.A new and stronger custodian alliance will emerge.
The United States is unfortunately no longer the standard bearer for democracy.
Putin knew the US would blink first. To be honest it seems the unprincipled , amoral and pliant MAGA and GOP have no qualms in bearing the standard of their new found weakness and ineptitude on the world stage. The torch is passed on, and will be picked up by worthy custodians.
I can’t help feeling something grotesque like a Frankenstein is being created here, and that potentially great harm globally and especially to America itself will result. Like that defeated face of Trump in the Oval Office with Elon Musk, that will be the face of America among democratic nations.
Definitely will not be taking this from whence it comes. I have piles of books by intellectuals sitting on my desk waiting to be read.
Will buy.
Two Non-leaders meet to discuss ways and means of pretending the deadly misadventures of their ego’s don’t actually matter. One despot only has to affirm the other, welcome them back into the fold and pretend non of this actually happened.

The US secular drift has lost its lodestone that would correct this; but because it has become such a permissive and ‘man as measure of all things society’ it fails on the ‘left to examine conscience and correct’ and on the right the tend towards anarchy and every man for himself is even worse.2/2
This is because the US has been unable to rectify the unhealthy relationship politics has with money. The reason for this is that individual politicians cannot get away from the primary individual pursuits of financial gratification and ego. The US baked individualism into their own cake. 1/2
They are doing the exact opposite of making American great and sending it instead hurtling toward decline.
‘Robots cannot reflect the human condition’: Nicolas Cage speaks out against AI
Musk and Trump, are between them pushing an Eastern co-operative alliance comprising global south developing countries into being. BRICS will only consolidate, grow more powerful as these nations become more dependent on each other & co-operating in all sorts of ways that could see the US wither.

It obviously suggest that our only light is empirical study. Richard Dawkins called Jesus ‘petty’.I don’t think you could call Jesus petty on any metric. But what is petty is to say that the best mankind can do is to unravel & understand a greater given, but not be in relationship with the giver.
