Hopefully Trump enjoys this offramp for the next 2-3 weeks before Lady G gets some more face time.

This is all Putin needed to do and now he knows he’ll have no resistance from the US.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something -- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting.' He said, 'mail in voting, every election -- no country has mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting and have honest elections.' And he said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much.'"

It’s an hour and 40 minutes, but the guest is a great storyteller, retelling a lot of the history from his book about the two Jewish men who created the terms “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” in the 1930’s and 40’s, and how they disagreed with each other about the framing and what was important to each. The conversation is of course heavily tied to the context of the Israel/Gaza situation, but it’s also much more than that, imo.

I think I may actually read that book.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-offer-putin-access-alaskas-035859398.html

"Trump is also considering giving Russia access to natural resources in the Bering Strait, where there are thought to be significant untapped reserves of oil and gas."

And letting him keep the rare Earth mines from the Ukrainian land they stole.

"It is believed that Ukraine holds 10% of the world's lithium reserves, used in battery production. Two of the largest lithium deposits are in areas controlled by Russia and Putin has laid claim to the valuable minerals extracted there."

And fix their planes for them.

"Other incentives include lifting the ban on exporting spare parts and equipment needed to service Russian aircraft, a significant proportion of which are in a poor state of repair."

"the sum value of my outfit will always be higher than yours."

as well as the Medicaid resources he promised Murkowski*

They've been fed so much Russian propaganda via right wing twitter that they've internalized it, and they don't even know it. The Tim Pools, Dave Rubins, and Benny Johnsons of the world literally paid by Russia and nobody on that side stopped to think, "well, that's pretty fucked up."

And people are still listening to what these people have to say and now are parroting it for themselves. We should let the brutal dictator who murders his opposition and who invaded another sovereign nation just take what he wants. Appeasement has always been a great solution. He definitely won't try to take the Caucasus and the Baltics next. Putin literally wants to reform the USSR, and you dopes want to help him. I'm not a fan of pouring a bunch of money into Ukraine but I'm even less of a fan of being Putin's bottom bitch.

The latest Producer Price Index, which measures the average change in prices paid to producers, jumped 0.9% from June, lifting the annual rate to 3.3%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Thursday’s readings far exceeded economists’ expectations for prices would rise by just 0.2% in July and 2.4% annually.

https://nul.org/news/baltimore-success-story-mayor-scotts-community-based-approach-achieves-historic-drop-violent

When Brandon Scott took office as Mayor of Baltimore in 2021, he implemented a public safety plan that tackled violence as a public health problem, emphasized community engagement, an committed to accountability.

Today, Baltimore is seeing the lowest homicide rate in 50 years.

The 22% decline in homicides and 19% decline in non-fatal shootings over the first six months of the year exceed the city's Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan’s goal of a 15% annual reduction in gun violence.

The historic milestone is part of an ongoing dramatic reduction in crime that began in 2003. By the end of 2024, six communities -- Belvedere, Woodbourne McCabe, Park Heights, Penn North, Franklin Square, and Brooklyn — saw a year without homicides, according to Scott's first-term report.

The only active protest singer I know of right now is the kid from Arkansas or whatever. I don't even know his name, but it's just him, his guitar, and his raspy voice. (Update: I googled it, and his name is Jesse Welles.)

I'm sure there are dozens of artists I don't know about, but that's kinda the point. Usually protest music comes from big names as well as small ones. Is it another symptom of the fragmented music industry? Are people just too jaded to bother?

Been big on Jesse Welles lately.

His two nights in Chicago sold right out, so I guess I'm not alone.

wild attempts at payback and grifting 100%. It doesn't seem to match Trump's first term, unless you count the time from November to the end of his term after he lost the election. He was still wild-ass Trump demanding fealty at all times then but there were still some guardrails and "adults" in the room. I feel like he would have been dissuaded from what he's tried in LA and DC (and surely every city soon).

I don't think there will be a civil war because it's just the elites vs. everyone else. No real competing interests for the elites; instead it's just going to be a uniquely shitty time for this country that will probably not get cleaned up or dealt with properly.

and frankly pretty close to worst case scenario. He's already done a lot of damage, and it's likely to get much worse. The truly most surprising part of the Trump era is the complete capitulation of both the Republican legislature and the judiciary branch.

We knew the things that restrained him in his first term wouldn’t be there this time. No more “adults in the room” who felt duty bound to institutions and laws…replaced by sycophants and loyalists top to bottom. We knew he now has essentially carte blanche from the Supreme Court for every action taken while in office. We knew he had new axes to grind.

The only thing that maybe could have limited the damage was Dem control of congress.

Instead, there are no institutional means of stopping him.

Literally all laid out in Project 2025 and basically everything Trump said on the campaign trail.

I didn’t think he’d aggressively work to destroy US science and higher education in the way that he has. I didn’t think Congress and the Supreme Court would basically legalize rescission even though it was explicitly ruled to be illegal in a prior act of Congress and is glaringly obviously in complete violation of the clear text of the Constitution and every single thing any Founder ever wrote or said about their intent.

I underestimated the massive levels of blatant corruption and bribery they’d engage in—I expected egregious corruption but thought it would be limited by the need for a fig leaf.

I was also surprised at how aggressive and violent the asssult on basic government capacity and functioning has been. I expected a complete politicization of most decisions and priorities to bend organizations to his will, but didn’t think they would go in for vandalism and sabotage.

A lot of the MAGA people are followers of Trump, not Republicans. And nobody else will be able to mobilize them and keep the rest of the party in line. That’s apart from the likely infighting to get/keep power and authority that will naturally occur.

I agree the evil ideological apparatchiks like Miller and Voight will still be there with their destructive, authoritarian programs. But I think Trump is a necessary vessel for most of that to be enacted.

There’s a whole lot of “never gonna happen” that has already happened. Incredibly devastating and meaningful things, actually. There’s scant evidence that this Supreme Court is going to be anything less than activist in the foreseeable future, so I think the reasonable perspective is to think about the possibility of rights being rescinded and norms being discarded.

The CCP isn’t really a good comparison

Posted by DT <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=DT' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on August 11, 2025, 9:16:08, in reply to "WSJ: "President Trump is imitating Chinese Communist Party by extending political control ever"

First because they exercise far more control and constraint over society. Trump is certainly aggressively moving the country to authoritarianism, but in China it’s fully established and unquestioned.

And second, the CCP is focused on the betterment of the country and has been very effective in pursuing that goal. While Trump only cares about his own power and enrichment and is happily doing immense damage to the US for personal gain, with an administration mostly staffed with various flavors of unqualified incompetents.

Putin or Mobutu would be more apples to apples comparisons for Trump.

out of new ideas, so stretching back to the greatest hits playbook. 1) Amplify an isolated crime instance into a general hysteria and monumental problem. 2) Deploy draconian solutions to address it. 3) Promote the reality that crime is down, because it never really existed to that extent anyway. 4) Claim victory.
