I think you're right that he's collapsing on purpose, but I think it's because it's what's best for Russia and it's profitable for the wealthy long term, being able to buy back into the crashed market. But also the control thing too. Just a bunch of shitty things.

I agree with you, but I do need to point out that for years Republicans have been screaming election interference just so when it happens against Democrats, it looks petty and not serious. I haven't dove down the rabbit hole, but it does sound like there has been evidence suggesting maleficence.

It's kind of a catch 22... In order to investigate potential evidence of election interference, you have to first put on the tin foil hat and believe that it was possible and worth investigating in the first place, which in itself aligns with "qanon BS".

FWIW, approval ratings don't matter for elected officials either. They have some meaning for a couple of months leading up to an election, sometimes.

Which isn't defensible, so go after them. It worked in Nuremberg. The big thing is the charges need to come at a state level so they can't be pardoned. Although, it's still an inconvenience to make them get pardoned every time, so if the charges have to be federal, so be it.

Maybe the judge can't stop Trump, but they can arrest every person on those flights. People will stop lining up when it means their freedom.

The media hasn't been beaten into submission, it's owned by MAGA billionaires. There are plenty of independent media news sources reporting facts, but they don't have the same reach.

They really were hoping to find the one place that was willing to ostracize themselves for the headlines and the clicks. Thank you Greenland for fighting the good fight.

Diplomatically, this is as good as it gets, unfortunately.

And my needless expenditures have plummeted because I can't shop anywhere.
