The pro-Putin candidate for the Romanian presidency Calin Georgescu gave a Musk-style Nazi salute when he was released from the prosecutor’s office after questioning. Two points: this is an international fascist movement with the Trump-Putin axis at the heart. And the salute is now normalised.

GBNews: "Are you Nigel Farage in disguise?" Starmer: "Nigel Farage didn't even turn up to the debate in Parliament. Nigel Farage is fawning over Putin. That's not patriotism." An inane question getting precicely the treatment it deserves. ~AA

Merz v.firm on European independence from US. Dovish Scholz not going to be part of coalition talks, opening space for more hawkish Pistorius. Stable grand coalition possible.

German exit polls are in. -As expected, a comprehensive rejection of SPD, though could have been even worse. Nonetheless worst result since 1887. -Disappointment for CDU to be sub 30, even though they'll definitely govern.

Assuming Merz can put together a stable and durable coalition (potentially a big if), he and Starmer will have a lot in common. Leaders with mandates which will be decisive but feel brittle, whose polities are being dragged to the populist right....

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This sad-sack cunt is about to get a brute lesson in reality. Canada is a proud, brilliant country. It'll never be subsumed into the US. Instead Trump is going to damage his own economy and crater his support.
