How Many Court Cases Can Trump Lose in a Single Week?
From tariffs and immigration to the National Guard, federal judges are rejecting Trump’s ridiculous cover stories.
The World No Longer Takes Trump Seriously
The leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea are not good men. They preside over brutal autocracies replete with secret police and prison camps. But they are, nevertheless, serious men, and they know an unserious man when they see one.
For nearly a decade, they have taken Donald Trump’s measure, and they have clearly reached a conclusion: The president of the United States is not worthy of their respect.

Putin threatens any troops sent to Ukraine as Europe readies postwar force
Moscow, which has interfered several times in Ukraine despite past agreements, said no security guarantees should be needed if a peace deal is signed.
Call it a guess, but Ukraine isn’t going to entertain this nonsense.

I am not sure if the tide is turning towards resistance to that orange twat bullying his way around everything. Might just be my algorithm feeding me what I want to hear.
I am just worrying the red vs blue blood war is becoming even more divisive that there is no room for forgiveness for people who change their mind.
When sanity prevails, if it ever does, we will need the sentiment to change back to unity as a country in order to recover and regain progress.
We live in the stupidest timeline. This could all have been avoided.
After this is all over, many can be forgiven. But the architects need to face justice IMO.
Secession is the only way this ends well.
I am hoping that is not the case. Each side is trying to drive permanent divides between one people and I am hoping this is just a phase. We can't let them divide us so the 1% can continue their fleecing!
I'm not divided you're divided
Haha that’s divisive talk right there! ;)
Too much juvenile “I know you are but what am I” intellectual fencing going on these days.
That piece on buying a golden visa with crypto stood out. Fun idea, but imagine telling border control your seed phrase is your passport. The real friction is KYC, source of funds and policy flips when a new cabinet shows up. Of the four, which one looks most stable to you, or is this just a shiny brochure?
Portugal, a gateway to the rest of the EU.
But unlikely I’ll do it myself.
Makes sense. It does open Schengen doors, but the shine’s faded with NHR changes and golden visa cuts. Is it the taxes and hoops, or just not worth the life upheaval right now?
More close to home. My wife wants to be close to kids and potential grandkids, so not open to becoming an expat.
Totally fair. Being close to your people beats any golden visa. Do you still keep a plan B like a residency you’d likely never use, or would you rather put that energy into making the home base even better? If slow travel’s still fun, where would you spend a month just for the experience?
Psychics can't picking winning tickets because supernatural forces aren't forces. They're entities. Same reason all those James Randi hopefulls look surprised when their trick doesn't work in front of the cameras.
