So I couldn't for the life of me remember where I'd seen this guy's face before (I never watch Fox sports)... ... and then it came to me. That face became famous in Canada for one of the greatest beer commercials ever in the history of beer. And commercials. Link in reply....

OCCRP is part of the deep state. OCCRP is connected to the CIA. OCCRP was tasked by USAID to overthrow Trump. How did we get this kind of attention? We wrote a story in 2019 about how Rudy Giuliani went to Ukraine for dirt on Biden and met with organized crime who misled him.

“Journalism has become a blood sport. It’s harder and harder to tell the truth without someone’s interests getting stepped on.”https://mailchi.mp/occrp/g6fje4qge0-2765777?e=4a201769f2 independent investigative journalism needs support more than ever!

The OCCRP is much more than just reporters: they make investigative infrastructure to support newsrooms. The true impact of the OCCRP is way larger and grander than the stories that have their name on it.

Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Every day, I watch Trump's press conferences and wait for someone—anyone—to retort, "That's just bullshit" or ask him "Do you know how stupid that sounds?" ... but no one does. Again and again and again, they legitimise this imbecile and his inability to say even one true thing.

Has anyone written about what a bonanza the Doge Kids are for foreign spying services? Breaking down digital barriers to confidential and classified data, and agglomerating it all in un-sanctioned and un-vetted equipment installed by 20 yr olds? That's what folks call a Target Rich Environment.

We accept the rule of law for a reason. Without it, there is nothing but force. Trump and his forces do not accept the rule of law. Therefore, only force will stop them. There's only one way this ends. If it ends.

There's going to be a whole lotta people carping about how flimsy, or slipshod, or illegal, or unconstitutional Trump s executive orders are. What they still don't get is that this is how the exercise of naked power works. It's the law because fuck you the President said so.

Just closed my Twitter tab. I expect I'll be forced to open it from time to time to re-measure the breadth and depth of that hellscape. But I'm done posting there. FB went by the boards years ago, and IG/Tiktok and all the others hold nothing for me. For better or for worse, this is it for me now.

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit” theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...

Zuckerberg holds a majority of voting power in his company. That he should see it as “out of touch” isn’t a criticism of woke Dems. It’s a criticism of the way he himself capitulates and blows with the political winds. He's at war with himself. Has been for years. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
