This reads like it could be about either the USA or Russia.

What a coincidence that the MAGA USA's policy towards Europe is almost indistinguishable from Russia's!

The problem is that even if at some level they realize this, self-deceit and denial is an easier way to deal with the feeling that maybe their whole world view has been a bad mistake, than admitting their whole world view has been a bad mistake and changing it.

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

So It's Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living, he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”

Trump thinks the economic problem is pencil addicts and spoiled little girls. The guy is a mental ruin.

Remember there's also the Republican ownership of voting machine companies, the Republican replacement of state officials who oversee elections, and the Republican demand that their DoJ "comprehensively" oversee elections in states (whereas in 2024 they argued the opposite, that the DoJ should have no access to monitor elections). They have a number of tricks up their sleeves.

The aging sea lion enables the Stephen Millers to go about their nasty business while everyone is looking elsewhere. That's one way he's dangerous. The other is that he's a threatened malignant narcissist with dementia and diminishing impulse control, and one of the world's most powerful armies.

It never was, but it's much less so now. Many Americans have believed the propaganda for a long time.

First you need to put the non-rich in charge and prevent them being bought off by the rich. That's the hard part, but not impossible.

Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code.

That doesn't sound wise.

A leaked memo by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directs the Justice Department and FBI to compile a list of groups that may be labeled “domestic terrorism” organizations based on political views related to immigration, gender and U.S. policy. The memo was obtained by independent investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who joins us to discuss how it expands on President Donald Trump’s NSPM-7…

Immigrants were moments away from pledging allegiance to the United States in Boston — the final step of the long process to becoming a U.S. citizen — when government officials pulled them out of line, according to a new report.

The scene unfolded at Boston’s Faneuil Hall on Thursday, Dec. 4, according to the report from WGBH, a National Public Radio member station.

As people who were already approved to be naturalized — having completed the lengthy U.S. citizenship process — lined up to pledge allegiance, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials told them they could not continue due to their countries of origin, the outlet reported.

A recent report, co-authored by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, Arms Embargo Now and World Beyond War, identified hundreds of shipments of Canadian-made F-35 fighter jet components, other aircraft parts, and explosives and flammable materials to U.S. facilities that supply the Israeli military. The report also highlighted 433 shipments of Polish-made TNT routed through the Port Saguenay, Quebec to U.S. army ammunition plants that make bombs used by Israel in Gaza.

The report stated that “by deliberately exempting U.S.-bound arms from export regulation and allowing Canadian infrastructure to transport weapons, Canada is circumventing its obligations under international law.”
