The thing getting overlooked is all of the recent moves by Trump all lead back to China. Venezuela, Cuba, now Iran. These are all tentacles of China. The aggression against these 3 countries is not a coincidence. It’s a concerted and indirect attack on China in an attempt to weaken their subsidiaries. In the eyes of this administration, this is unpleasant, but necessary housekeeping that should have been done decades…

> The thing getting overlooked is all of the recent moves by Trump all lead back to China. Are you trying to frame the twice accidental president as some sort of visionary? He doesn’t even remember what he said 5 mins ago. If he had planned or even had any clue about wars, we’d not be in this mess. He insulted Zelenskyy last year but ended up asking for his help. Do you recall orange phenomenon was asking for China’s…

Also, he's pushing the world towards China.

And rightfully so. China isn't killing and kidnapping world leaders, supporting genocides in Gaza, launching military operations, threatening its allies of annexation or overtly interfering in their democratic process.

A great many experts in the military, medicine, disaster relief, and cybersecurity { the list goes on } were fired. It's almost as if the nation were being weakened on purpose.

When do the Raptor puppets go on sale?

Hegseth - Signal app Noem - habeas corpus definition she gave at the Congress hearing Kennedy Jr - vaccines and the rest of his view on medicine Now Patel's unhackable FBI. I think the world has changed, and i really need to update my expectations of what is new normal. It is like in tech when paradigm shift happens, and you're either go with the new paradigm or get irrelevant.

I don't think people appreciate enough how much it mattered that Trump was a celebrity buffoon/reality show personality for decades before "politics". Stupid people eat that up. Other Trumpy candidates have not been able to reproduce his success. Let's not assume this is the new normal.

I don’t think people appreciate enough how much it mattered that Trump was the only candidate explicitly saying they were working to Make America Great Again, as opposed to foreign interests or illegals.

I'm no fan of this administration, at all, but this seems like a big fat nothingburger. They hacked a personal gmail account, not a government account, not government infra. Why is this not a failing of Google instead of the government? And surely the hackers would have eagerly released anything damning, but nothing damning seems to exist. What am i missing here?

Was that landing page written by Google India team !

Not sure what difference the nationality of the copywriters makes…

It doesn’t really tell you where the copywriters were from but you notice that the locale of the page is Indian because the numbers are given in crore.

Its both dumber and more dangerous than that. Competent people are not valuable to governments that value loyalty more than competence.
