As one high ranking official quoted another former high ranking official who, when asked why there aren’t women at negotiating tables, said: “Women? They’ll go to the enemy, make peace and the wars will end!” That describes it pretty well.

What is a centrist? Most people will tell you 2+2=4. Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6. So the centrist insists that 2+2=5. Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity. Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished. And the centrists? Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

In these difficult times, the paper of record remains laser focused on its core mission: policing the left.

Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program. This is for a Saudi Real Estate conference starting tomorrow.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Asked if we can take it for granted that the US is an ally of Europe, he says “unfortunately, not”. “I would like to confirm that they are an ally, but then they have to behave like an ally.”

From News Eye --"The fund is worth $25 billion - not enormous. But all stampedes start when the first in the herd begins to move…" -- that last line. . . .

A Danish pension fund, AkademikerPension, has announced plans to sell its U.S. Treasury holdings (about $100 M) by the end of January, citing investment risk concerns. *This is a single fund’s decision and does not signal a broader collapse of demand for U.S. government debt.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate and House to start to take control of political power... With this erratic and mad behaviour, you have to ask... Is the President capable of running the US?

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity. It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything. Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

EU is weighing countermeasures if Trump moves by force. Belgium’s def min: If they take Greenland by force, that will be end of NATO

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

To the "civility" people, saying the word "fuck" is violence, but the cops shooting tear gas is "peace keeping", ripping a parent from their children is "doing their job". They want to control the definition of violence and their monopoly on the use of it.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

It's pretty interesting that "presidential candidates have to move to the center to win the general election" was unassailable conventional wisdom in political science for 100 years and now one party has completely abandoned that to incredible success.
