putin is such a dork that he might end up invaded by NK
Europeâs populist movements absorbed the corruption aspects of Trumpism even before coming to power. They mistook his 2016 victory for their own
maybe the Trump administration hates boats
Aleksandr Dugin's school of thought, but he might ask him how immortality works for his close ones
*Sino-american-russian
It's probably Bayrou's desperate attempt to survive the vote of confidence for his government, nothing more
He's doing the right thing at the right time and it's gonna be popular, so thank you zombie Trump for Pritzker 2028 campaign
This is not even demagogy or whatever, it's a sentence a 5 year old would be ashamed to say !
Everyone is like "he is normal" while he's out there saying things like "Without the US everything in the world would die"
Doesn't have the juice to fight SCOTUS if they rule against him
Or as we say in France a macronist
Manifesting McConnell freezing time
"President Trump to appear with a cognitive test he 'aced' by successfully identifying a whale"
Sorry the man and the woman*
Man what are the guys behind doing lol
what a week for 80-year-old fascists
"90% of Americans say that Trump should release the Epstein files but in this diner on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory, northwest DC, people consider he is handling this scandal perfectly"
The least veiled threat ever lol, Patel should be investigating JD
Trump is probably dying đ€·
Completely agree. Overall, rather than confront the reality of the Trump regime, they retreat into a weird historical fatalism, resorting to absurd comparisons if necessary!
I'm not saying Trump is not a fascist, I'm convinced he is. I'm saying that it might be a bit early to give up, and that despite all the fascist aesthetics and racist dog-whistling, America hasn't been conquered, that's all.
I was referring to "that sounds exactly like America since Reagan." Weimar Germany and Modern America aren't the same, that's it.
Not saying America isn't in a dangerous place, but what you say is not quite the same as your first message.
A war on american soil? Communists and nazis shooting each other? Obama, Clinton and Biden, right-wing authoritarians?
in a place deeply traumatized by a destructive war 20 years earlier, fractured by deadly street fights between factions and with a population accustomed to being ruled by right-wing authoritarians with strange mustaches - not quite today's america
Bloquez-le qu'il ait une vraie raison de se plaindre d'ĂȘtre victime de censure
Merci de montrer que vous n'avez rien
Pourquoi Mélenchon n'attaque-t-il pas la légitimité et la valeur de la signature de Poutine, alors ? Lui est un vrai dictateur ! Vous reconnaßtrez que le 2 poids 2 mesures peut paraßtre troublant !
Vous n'avez rien et vous partez d'une prémisse erronée ! En quoi la signature de Zelensky ne serait-elle pas légitime ?! Il est président, et le restera jusqu'aux prochaines élections, aprÚs la guerre, comme l'indique la Constitution ukrainienne ! N'en vous déplaise, Mélenchon a *légalement* tort !
A part des arguments d'autorité, vous n'avez r-i-e-n pour justifier l'attitude de Mélenchon ! Un peu de courage, expliquez cette "compréhension des affaires internationales" qui justifie de s'attaquer à la légitimité de Zelensky, nous, les non-sachants, sommes impatients de comprendre !
Peu importe, et sur le fond, et la posture de MĂ©lenchon ? Votre avis ?
Personne n'empĂȘche MĂ©lenchon de s'exprimer. Ce qui est soulignĂ© ici, c'est que le leader d'une force politique française majeure s'ingĂšre dans les affaires d'un pays attaquĂ© pour dĂ©stabiliser son rĂ©gime, en mentant sciemment sur la lĂ©gitimitĂ© du prĂ©sident. Qu'en dites-vous ?
L'agressivité pour éviter de répondre sur le fond ? Mélenchon ne s'aligne pas sur la position de Poutine, en balayant d'un revers de la main la Constitution ukrainienne ?
and their leader is dying, if you think Vance can hold the Trump coalition, well
they have control for now, but they donât have the Wisconsin Supreme Court, nor a supermajority in Iowa since yesterday. they have just barely more than half the governorships, and theyâre burning through much-needed federal resources to exert control in a decentralized country
"They hear Trumpâs remark about being the âPresident of Europeâ and assume it is the ramblings of a delusional old man." yeah, that's the correct analysis, too bad he added so much extra text
Yeah, that's why I believe the RN will abstain from voting. No one wants elections right now so they'll just leave Bayrou in place.
Yeah but Trump is president of Europe since last week so there's that
Donald Trump is outsmarting Donald Trump once again
Yeah, Michael Moore school of thought
The young 8th Republic would be rising from the ashes of the old world after 3 revolutions
not even a year in!
i still havenât gotten over the moment when he was looking for the finnish president, even though he was right in front of him
Alex Jones's worry is that he's quitting for health issues lol
leaking brain ! leaking brain !
Man, they're really in panic mode lol
âIf this experiment fails, itâs gonna fail horribly, and I think weâll begin to see the impacts of that sooner than later." perfect summary of the Trump era
La coalition Vance/Musk en 2028 va ĂȘtre coton Ă assumer pour le GOP!
Or even Macron right now
Aryan Brotherhood pollsters
Yeah, completely agree
Wouldn't the goal be to make it too risky for Russia to invade since it could trigger a response from every country that has soldiers in Ukraine?
Trump as a reconciliator between Pritzker and Newsom factions
My guess is, if it happens, it'll be Geneva
When internal polling's going great
Seeing the way Trump walked down the red carpet, peace fled effortlessly
JD Vance walking the fach-weird path to universal hatred Elon opened up
i believe in the dumb version of history where he drops into the single digits shortly after the crash
There's a difference between this playing out against a background of massive popular support and a situation where he's steadily losing support as he attempts to consolidate power. They're two entirely different games, and pretending otherwise doesn't make you a hard-nosed realist.
the DHS PAC granting a free rally for a D candidate
the fact that Donald Trump created this environment is something most commentators should point out as a lack of political instinct - he should have known something like this would happen! Newsom is turning it into a rally (thatâs good, obviously) - most predictable outcome ever!
Newsom: "Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it's coincidental? ... people are scared ... you have a US Senator thrown on the ground. JD Vance -- his name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla ... wake up, America."
the fear that the far right has spread through european society is even more detached from reality than it is in the US, really makes you wonder about the media responsability
It says a lot about the european media and the myth of insecurity imho
Right! The rise of the far right really is a societal reaction to the end of the cold war turbocharged by successive crises (9/11, 2008, Eurozone, Syria, Ukraine, Covid, online and state actors.
Because he and Musk promised "a little pain before the revolution comes to fruition, he's graded as a paradigm changer, not a typical president. Sucks for all of them that inflation is coming for the narrative
of course, the result is the death of social-democratic parties in the process - but Starmer is desperate for any kind of result, so thereâs that
the famous "let's court far-right voters so the far-right fails" strategy
I guess you're right about Bardella polling 1st, but we're 2 years away from the election. It will obviously be close but between an Edouard Philippe and a Bardella, it'll be 60/40 for Philippe
Tbf Le Pen is cooked, Bardella is an idiot, Retailleau ain't gonna last so while the far right is having its moment, none of them is gonna be president
they're consumed by self-hatred - pretty sure they're not even a majority in their own group of lunatics
Magnificently written piece by @jemima.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/0e24...
"the victimhood Olympics" bit is perfect
well, the FBI agents are going to turn on the TV when those legislators hold a press conference
That's why I believe regime consolidation has never been on the table: the GOP is hollow as fuck and a TV-tyrant simply can't compensate for the absence of popular support and ideological foundations needed to take over the US
Oh I just know the WSJ is about to drop the most insane story known to man
tbf "let's let QAnon freaks infiltrate the government and then crush their ambitions of uncovering a major sex-trafficking scandal" never sounded like a good idea
in a way, traditional right-wing parties have shown that they don't see themselves as subject to the rule of law, so violence is kind of the logical next step
Led by the Hunter Biden brigade
Completely agree. The deal imo is another proof that despite all the efforts to dismantle it, the war, the Brexit etc, the EU stands pretty strong *especially* because the whole world expects it to act like a sovereign nation!
Yeah it's a photo by George Andrew Tice, an amazing artist
having an opinion on football is mandatory. and never ever call it soccer
what's*
that's what helpful in deciphering what's happening!
thank you for your impressive work, you're the only chronicler of the russian ruin
the keyboard curse
Fuck, the Ă© stayed, it could have been an amazing pun
BlessĂ©d* excuse my french accent đ€·
We are blesséd to have the stupidest far right in the west
I'm french, I hate him, I voted for him and will probably vote for him again in 32 if he comes back đ€·
Trump is an absurd creature made of corruption and a awful lack of self-respect while Vance is a politician, he doesn't stand a chance in what the GOP has become
Very funny how he'll never master the art of the outrage, trump is almost flamboyant, Vance is just a whiny bitch
"an orange shape is seen moving up the stairs leading to Epstein's tier" = Trump, no doubt, 100% guilty
i'm ready to learn that the missing minute of Epstein video is Trump himself triumphantly walking down the corridor with a rope
the smoking gun coming directly from his leaking brain
Politico, in particular, could get an affidavit from God, witnessed by the Archangel Gabriel, that the EU did something right and theyâd complain about the quality of the Almightyâs penmanship in the signature.
After a certain point a lot of trade analysts might want to consider that the EU and Japanese investment pledges are 1980s New York property development style made up numbers designed to keep Trump happy that will have very little connection to economic reality
Loving the âTrump winsâ narrative. The thing is, Trump getting what he wants isnât the same as Trump âwinningâ. What he wants is self-destructive. By winning, he loses.
"if democrats win enough seats, they'll offer you the head of the most unpopular president of the century, even more unpopular than the previous most unpopular that was already him" is a bold strategy
Trump is going to fire Powell and put Nabiullina at the FED
