Honestly, what is wrong with these people?

Snowflake capitalism in a nutshell

Oddly enough, people tend to smile more at work when they're well paid, when the company continually helps them to learn and develop, and when they're not treated like machines on a production line. So maybe they should foster more of that, instead?

What do you think a Russian satellite is doing sitting in the same orbit as a US-registered radar satellite that feeds imagery to Ukraine? I can think of one answer, and I don't like it. This will not end well.

People who love using AI to code are absolutely losing their minds when AI-generated code is labelled so consumers can make a choice. What's hilarious is how they label this as "politics" because it doesn't align with their desires. If AI generated code is so great, why would anyone be afraid of it being labelled?

GoogleBooks sound like an absolute mess.

For anyone wanting to learn how to ace the first line of a paragraph in a politics article, I give you this, from Laurence Friedman.

Either way, it is clear that the US Constitution now has enough holes in it for Trump-style corruption to potentially wriggle through. As I've said several times lately, the American Century is over -- as is America itself.
-
But in Trump v. United States (2024), the Court treated pardons as a core presidential power that Congress cannot regulate. A textualist court might be more receptive to a self-pardon than the academic consensus implies.
-
And this current SCOTUS has already given the President a lot of leeway. The current court has shown willingness to depart from academic consensus on presidential power in favour of treating executive power as absolute.
-
Trump could also -- and this is definitely possible -- step aside a few months before leaving office in favour of Vance, who very definitely *could* pardon him for anything done in office.
-
Either way, what we have here is the biggest example in US history of treachery, on a scale that dwarfs anything else I can think of. Trump must, of course, know this. Which is why we can expect a lot more of this before he leaves the presidency behind.
-
He knows that if he can limp through the next couple of years, he can pardon himself and everyone around him pre-emptively before he leaves office. Of course, he knows if he did it would head to the Supreme Court, who would effectively have to rule that any president was above Federal Law.

Given what we know about the family's propensity to use secret offshore accounts to funnel money with "mysterious" origins around, the idea they weren't profiting from Russian involvement in a government initiative is just not credible.

While I agree with Laurence Freedman's argument that "kompromat" isn't that effective with Trump in this excellent essay, I'm not sure that Trump is simply motivated by admiration of Putin. I suspect it's more about lust for Russian money than a dictator love-in.
-
Does anyone seriously believe this happened without at least some of the Trump family's knowledge -- or in fact without any of the money going to them?
