“.. Until the US decides to re-engage on a path of cooperation rather than confrontation," no steps to move the deal forward would be taken, Lange said in a statement. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

"Democrats and Harris would be exactly as bad as the GOP and Trump, because I'm saying so!" really is not an argument. But these people *have* to insist so, because otherwise they might have to admit that they fucked up grievously, and bear some responsibility for the present awfulness.

Soto: this whole case is irregular, starting with Trump giving notice via a Truth Social post!

Kagan: there is no way to test whether a president is really getting rid of someone because of policy disagreements, since he can just say, "it's for cause"!

Sotomayor: whatever Cook did before going on the Fed, it was not an "infamous crime", as other cases have required to show an official is removable

THUS FAR NO JUSTICE SEEMS HAPPY WITH TRUMP'S ARGUMENT THAT HE CAN REMOVE COOK THIS WAY.

I'm going to be among the folks going against the prevailing narrative On Here & say Trump really was ruling out using force in Greenland (or Iceland), he's just such a narcissistic crybully that he has to add a "but I totally woulda won if I used force!" (he would not) at the end to soothe his ego.

we are a nation and a capital market of the clowns, by the clowns, and for the clowns... we deserve whatever we get for not laughing this racist-supporting bullshit out of public discourse

People forget that there is the Otaku and there is the naptime and sometimes when it's naptime a kid will throw a hissy fit but it's naptime nonetheless

Greenland, Iceland someone tell him the one he really wants is “the rich, fertile land just a bit to the south of Vinland” and maybe we can still get out of this

imo Epstein survivors deserve to be heard by as many people as we can help them reach

If you tack space minus symbol ai ( -ai) on the end of Google searches, it bypasses the AI summary.

While I agree this speech is insane and bellicose, I would note how massively out of character it is for Trump to rule something out in any way. In some ways, the fact that he's been forced to do that by institutions likely has him absolutely feral.

The government is trying to break the will of the people in Minneapolis, hoping it will serve as a warning to the rest of the nation. But if the resistance prevails, the failed paramilitary occupation of this city will become something else: A powerful reminder of democratic freedom and solidarity.

This pattern stands in contrast to the idea of Trumpism’s irresistible march towards consolidated authoritarian rule. Remember: Being lawless, immoral, and violent does not make the Trumpists omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

They could, potentially, ramp up oppression dramatically in the face of popular discontent. But the Trumpists do not have the apparatus to do that, not even close, and such a strategy also has inherent limits: The regime still needs millions to comply in order to keep the machine going.

America still has competitive elections. And more generally, in a complex modern society, the government – no matter the regime type – inevitably depends on millions of people following along to some degree. They depend on some measure of consent from institutions and individuals alike.

Always read Thomas. I would add that America is not one country. It’s a federation of states. Power is set against power. I don’t mean there’s a balance. I mean our structure provides opportunities for resistance if there is a will and desire for it.

Honestly if Denmark/E.U./NATO offered to give him a symbolic gold crown and scepter as honorary King of Greenland in lieu of selling it he would accept in a heartbeat and we could just end this insanity

Love all this Final Destination teasing of it. All the precariously placed items, each of them a single piece of the Rube Goldberg machine that will eventually start the biggest celebration on Earth.

Oh so that's why machado gave him the nobel peace prize, it was cursed

You need to let yourself not become Louise Mensch with reading too much into random things, while also allowing yourself to feel joy about It Happening.

don’t forget that a coma and chaotic power vacuum would be pretty funny also

Nobody is going to invade Greenland because JD Fucking Vance asks them to

I want a goddam mariachi band to kick down my bedroom door and sing about it

I don’t care if it’s 4pm or 4am, pull into my driveway with a boombox, a bullhorn, and a bottle of bourbon.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

i am GOING TO get my hopes up every single time. NOT because i am gullible or desperate but because it is FUN

What if he emerged fine and we were all like awwwwww then he tripped and fell down every stair and that's how it happened

He needs It to not happen every second of every day, but we only need It to happen once

He said he needed greenland for psychological reasons, no one gave it to him, and now he's dead. I hope you're all proud of yourselves

It Watch does really bring all the bluesky factions together in a way that is quite nice

look, we hate him so much that even pretending it's happened hits like crack

President Trump has an opportunity to do the most popular thing he's ever done

If the President dies in office can you just leave work in the middle of the day? Like it hasn’t happened since JFK, what’s the protocol here

New pool report: some sort of flying gremlin is tearing the shit out of the wing of this plane

Look, it's simple. We just want the worst person in the world to die

I love it when we all stay up late having fun together in our jammies with our little snacks

congratulations to rogue bus guy on the new job

there are plenty of reasons Air Force One would suddenly turn around. for example, they may have forgotten Kevin

Me, in bed and up past my bedtime, listening to a devil (Bluesky) even though i know he is just telling me what I want to hear (that it happened)

but just think of all the mining we'll be able to get done when we're no longer distracted by the sounds of those canaries

Greenland News Flash: President Still A Pedophile* *ᵃˡˡᵉᵍᵉᵈˡʸ

Personally, I’m thrilled that world leaders are negotiating our fates via the same app that I use to send friends a pic of a pigeon eating a chicken wing with the caption “bro just witnessed a burder”

Sanction and travel ban everyone in the administration, congressional republicans, and their billionaire backers and this is over by eod

It is impossible to fully state or quantify the amount of damage that son of a bitch and his feckless minions are doing to our country. Beyond anything we could have imagined, and we imagined the worst.

perfect misprint for a weird timeline setting.
