It would have been a bigger shock if the headline stated he knew something about European history (or literature, science, geography, etc)
Not really a massive shock

I’m guessing this means Vance will just keep ordering Trump some Big Macs and fries.

he's sooooooooo full of shit. He says Russia might attack. BUT, I thought we are Russia's best ally, ever since fearless leaders Trump and Putin's lovely stroll down that red carpet in Alaska...

so - this is indicative of my frustration with the media. She needs to tell him, directly and in no uncertain terms, "your talking points make absolutely no sense. Your lies harm our economy and our ability to mitigate the damage of climate change. Why do you lie to the American people?"
Because we currently have an epidemic of drone swarms targeting wind farms...?

what an amazingly awful take. she hopes ICE will come to Portland and "crackdown." Also the notion that immigrants are not hard-working (in contrast to the "great American businesses) is absolutely incorrect. This is what the cabinet is: a place where people spew dangerous lies and everyone nods

Can Elbridge Colby and Sergio Gor please be called to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and / or the House Foreign Affairs Committee to explain the rationale behind the barriers they are placing to inhibit Ukraine's ability to defend itself and their de facto allegiance to Russia?

Awesome statement/reply by Jack White. Well-stated. Respect.

the objective, after all, isn't related to adjudicating justice to any specific individual (which is why they don't care when they detain the wrong person); the goal is to project power & instill fear. In this way, it resembles what Putin has done in Russia. Trump wants to make America like Russia.

Yes, it is completely absurd. but it is only understood as completely absurd if you look at things rationally within the construct of a democracy. we need to recognize the Trump administration's aim is to destroy democracy, and instill an authoritarian state. then their behavior looks rational.

in order to then justify violence against the scapegoat (kidnapping, detention, extradition) as the means to restore order and peace. In such a system - actual facts don't matter, just the raw emotion, the desire to control and predetermine guilt. Sound familiar ? (2)
