this is the thing, authoritarians like to portray themselves as hard-headed realists doing the national interest that liberals won't... but actually these guys are morons, acting out their atavistic bullying instincts and calling it Master Plan

Americans will be surprised how long someone can retain some level of support by making life worse for everyone, but much worse for those who his supporters hate. "My life got worse, but at least the life of people I hate got much worse" is a very typical conservative life goal these days.

Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. Emaili dates a week before Helsinki summit

Russian propagandists have once again reverted to calling for all cities in Ukraine to be destroyed, along with the bridges, claiming that’s the only way to wage war. But overall, Russians never threatened anyone.

"If Putin conquers Ukraine, we will be next." - said Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski.

Things gradually slotting into place.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski: “Ukraine is planning for a three-year war, and these colonial wars usually take about a decade. “I don’t think Putin can sustain it for another three years.”

Jim Ratcliffe, the massive Brexiteer, demands the EU intervene to help save his business The hypocrisy of these people never ends packagingeurope.com/news/ineos-f...

Also important to remember that everyone involved in the coverup -- whether formally or informally -- is part of the exact same conspiracy against the victims and against the nation.

The release of this Epstein information about Trump does now put the Democratic Party retreat into a rather different context from a few days ago. Everyone in the Dem leadership would have been aware about what was about to drop.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

I wrote on the UK's reported suspension of some intel sharing with the US on legal grounds. I spoke to several former intel officials & all agreed that they could not think of a comparable case over decades. Some expressed serious concern over retaliation www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

For all the leftist, liberal and moderate conservative schadenfreude over Trump's current predicament in the face of the Epstein files, a loss of control among the older generation of MAGA bosses opens up the Republican Party to a full hostile takeover by its Fuentes faction

Agree. I've always felt that Trump is a symptom, not the disease. We have fundamental issues that don't go away when he does. It'll probably be 20 years before we're stable again.

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

How long can Keir Starmer and other European leaders keep up the fawning rhetoric towards Trump before journalists and voters start asking tougher questions about how to deal with an American President who maintained close dealings with Epstein?

"Alaskans’ struggles are a microcosm of what poor and rural Americans face across the country. When the social safety net is riddled with holes, people fall through," writes @gracesegers.bsky.social. Great story. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Whisper it quietly, but Republicans who are up for re-election next year seem to understand that Trump is becoming a big liability. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Makes you wonder how much French, UK, Italian, Ukrainian, Israeli, Chinese, Indian etc etc intelligence services knew about these Epstein-Trump dynamics by 2018

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

I like how this also lays bare Trump's entire business career as one big scam.

every lib who complains about nyt is vindicated.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Many Roman Emperors were assassinated by their own guards. Just saying.

🇵🇱🇪🇺 Polish FM Sikorski: I’m in favor of the European Union starting to have some defense capability of our own so that we don’t have to call on the United States in every emergency. We should be capable of sorting out some warlord in Libya or the Balkans next time around.

🇵🇱 Polish FM Sikorski: Putin has underperformed. We thought he had the world’s second army and he thought it would be a cakewalk, a three-day operation. More than 10 years on, he’s still fighting in Donbas. I would not call that a victory.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish FM Sikorski: Ukraine is planning for a three-year war, and these colonial wars usually take about a decade. I don’t think Putin can sustain it for another three years.

Someone needs to be.

OTD in 1940 Soviet Foreign Minister arrived by train in Berlin, received Guard of Honor and had friendly meet with Hitler. Totally not allies. If Ukraine was actually Nazi we would sign a peace deal with them & we’d actually honor it. Unlike every other one we’ve signed.

"Saab wants to do significantly more work in Canada in the near term. Saab views Canada as an ideal partner, with the right, highly skilled workforce to support a massive growth in global demand," said Simon Carroll, president of Saab Canada. See the article for more. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says France is also concerned about US military operations in the Caribbean, citing violations of international law. This comes after the UK yesterday stopped sharing intelligence with the US over the execution of civilians in small boats. This will be a drip feed

In case you missed it: *of course* the guy who wrote the BBC memo was a paid lobbyist.

Meanwhile, in the Losers Corner:

“The Far Right doesn’t stay within borders. It’s at work everywhere and it works in sync. The strength in one area magnifies the strength in another. It’s a global threat.”

On a more serious note: British politics have been in crisis mode for ten years and this is a real problem whatever your politics. It undermines trust in government and democracy, fuels populism, and makes the UK an unstable partner at a time when the geopolitical situation is very dangerous.
