2 fucking headlines right next to each other

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

It's pathetic seeing all these anti-woke right wingers (Murray, Piers Morgan, Fergusson, Shapiro) horrified at Trump showing EXACTLY WHO HE WAS on Ukraine and other issues. And what did they get in return? Have they/them pronouns or nonbinary genders been banned? How's that free speech going?

So it turns out stiffing contractors at a Florida club or artificially pumping real state value does not prepare one to nagotiate international relations and global politics. Nobody could have known this.

Kellogg praised Zelenskyy and Ukraine. He'll be fired soon.

I see some tend to believe an orange king. I'll tell it once and won't repeat it. I don't consider our President a dictator or ever felt it. Other Ukrainians? Please see the latest poll conducted between Nov 2024 and Jan 2025 as part of the Onukh IBIF project, funded by the British Academy. ⬇️

Donald Trump is threatening the President of a sovereign country—AGAIN—to force Ukraine to hand over their democracy and sovereign territory to Vladimir Putin. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

"JD Vance’s solemn pledge that the Trump administration, as the 'new sheriff in town,' will never seek to “silence people for speaking their minds” and will even 'fight to defend' their right to do so surely qualifies for a chutzpah award." @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

I think what he’s saying is he’s about to grab the country by the p*ssy and when you’re a star, Republicans in Congress let you do it.

We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started. It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work. You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians. Extracts from my doorstep ahead of NATO Defence Ministers meeting ↓

Lavrov-Rubiotrop Pact

The circus is starting: Jim Jordan, Taibbi & Shellenberger are congratulating themselves on Twitter Files. Jordan opens by gloating ab getting Stanford Internet Observatory shut down. Yes: the congressman got 1A protected research shut down. That's censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7G5...

“Curtis Yarvin” is “a good friend of mine…” - DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen. (Under his pen name, Yarvin once proposed converting unproductive people into biodiesel. Yarvin said he was joking but that the joke helps “describe the problem” & that the “goal” is a “humane alternative to genocide.”) 1/

At this rate, a winning 2028 campaign would be to restore DEI.

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Having talked to a lot of folks close to this on all sides, ignore all the performative bromindes about safety or even open source, what Musk wants is to turn back time and to get a stake in the new entity www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/t...

There’s an edit here at 11 seconds in. Isn’t that illegal now??? Call the FCC! Release the full transcript Fox!
