A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The only man for whom Hitler had “unqualified respect” was “Stalin the genius,” and while in the case of Stalin and the Russian regime we do not have (and presumably never will have) the rich documentary material that is available for Germany, we nevertheless know since Khrushchev’s speech before the Twentieth Party Congress that Stalin trusted only one man and that was Hitler.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/41599/

#Trump floated idea of “joint venture” to set up tolls in Strait of Hormuz. The #EuropeanCommission says this would be #unlawful.
European Commission firmly rejected any attempt, by Iran or #US, to charge vessels for crossing Strait of Hormuz, while saying final decision on paying a fee is entirely at the discretion of affected companies
- #InternationalLaw provides for #freedom of #navigation, which means: no payment or #toll whatsoever

Carr is a wittle baby. Trump is a tyrant because broken men break the law when he says to. Carr is a bwoken baby making anger noises to make mommy laugh.
Wash Carr's mouth out with soap.

No, a sailor on a US nuclear sub off Greenland needed immediate hospitalisation, and Denmark/Greenland got him off the sub and evacuated him to lifesaving care in the Capital Nuuk.
It would have created a warm story of allies, mutual care, friendly Greenlanders, so Trump shat out a lie the press would replace it with.
Its always worse than you think.

A quotation from Olivia Butler
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be lied to.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.Octavia Butler (1947-2006) American writer
Parable of the Talents, ch. 11, epigraph (1998)More about this quote: wist.info/butler-octavia/48539…

“Trump has established these places as an extension of his administration,” said Walker Davis, research director at Crew. “By visiting and promoting his #properties, and talking about them in his official remarks, #Trump is conveying to foreign governments and special interests that it is a priority, for him, for people to #patronize his #businesses.”

Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?
"Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."
Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.
What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.
And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.
#DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

Extreme obedience assumes ignorance in the one who obeys; it assumes ignorance even in the one who commands; he does not have to deliberate, to doubt, or to reason; he has only to want.
[L’extrême obéissance suppose de l’ignorance dans celui qui obéit; elle en suppose même dans celui qui commande: il n’a point à délibérer, à douter, ni à raisonner; il n’a qu’à vouloir.]Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher

Good News in Hard Times.
Whooo hooo!
ALL FIVE of Biden's giant offshore wind projects are back.
Trump cancelled all of them.
Over the last months every massive wind project has fought Trump in court. And won.
All five have been successful.

Men are still men. The despot’s wickedness

Comes of the purple he from childhood wears,
Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.
