Welcome to weaponized unreality where truth is fiction and fiction is truth. Where unreality outweighs the real and it’s being used to end democracy as a part of a greyzone war against democracy.

“Nobody seems to have language to say: We abhor, reject, repudiate, and punish all political violence, even as we maintain that Trump remains himself a promoter of such violence, a subverter of American institutions, and the very opposite of everything decent and patriotic.“ #giftarticle

The Gunman and the Would-Be Dictatorwww.theatlantic.com Violence stalks the president who has rejoiced in violence to others.

This is chilling.

Here is a full transcript of Jack Posobiec's alarmingly fascist speech about the war against "un-humans," which he delivered from the main stage of the National Conservatism Conference this week, immediately before a speech by a US Senator.

The return of competence and why it matters. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. Labour's first week has begun to repair some Brexit damage and, despite opportunistic talk of 'lack of mandate', it's competence which is the best counter to populism: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...

Now, while I am WINCING at every gaffe Overall everything Biden is saying, is solid. He's even getting his digs in. Now imagine Trump, DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, trying to answer any of this shit. It would be carnie speak.

Nobody being above the law falls into the self-evident truths category. Trump v US was the classic no-brainer. The easiest case all session. A 9-0 call, were we not trapped in a political bedlam. This is madness: complete, hallucinatory madness.
