And all he got was yellow teeth

As always, this is nuts. Also as always (he says, mostly to himself) it's important to remember this is desperate behaviour of someone who has fucked up on a historical level who sees a freight train (or oil tanker?) of consequences barreling down the track towards them.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

All in favour? ✋

I think it is preferable to have politicians who have, at some point in their lives, lived like a normal person

Exactly one year ago today:

As the present Fascist International teeters and wobbles and starts breaking apart I'm very curious to find out how many more core components of the American conservative project are plain-old foreign-influence operations

Today, the last tanker of crude oil that transited the Strait of Hormuz before Trump launched his war on Iran reached its destination in Europe.

Trump is demonstrating the importance of credibility in international relations.

He is not credible. He’s shown that others can’t trust what he says, and can’t act as if his stance will be the same tomorrow. He can’t communicate demands or make reliable offers. He made America’s word is worthless.

I’m in Greece and I’ve discovered the Greeks have maybe some counterintuitive ideas about pizza

Orbán turns out to be more of a democrat than the U.S. president and a nontrivial number of GOP candidates.

We're going to besiege Iran while our best boyfriend Vladimir Putin supplies them via a backdoor we can't access.

So, let’s game this out. A Chinese flagged tanker pays the toll and transits the strait. We interdict it? What if the tanker is escorted by a Chinese warship?

Trump attempts to play the Uno Reverse Card of blockades

The Federal Housing Advocate has advised the government to set a target date to resolve the middle-class housing crisis by... 2060. 34 years from now. This means a Grade 10 student will have to wait until they're 50 to afford a home.

Have bookmarked this thread, which just keeps growing. Useful resource/reminder of the significant issues that keep being eclipsed by new, even more significant issues.

Toddler at it again. Trump questions NATO’s reliability, saying the alliance “wasn’t there when we needed them,” while also referencing Greenland in his remarks. #US
