During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.

Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.

This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.

Quote (more lies) from American racist:

"A shocking incident in Dublin saw an African migrant attempt to attack a baby with a sharp broken can! The baby suffered head injuries!"

Video is from Thomas Street, Dublin 8 at 3:45pm on May 14th, 2025.

Nobody was attacked or injured.

Poutine, cet "homme fort", tant estimé de nos "souverainistes" a perdu le Kazakhstan (échaudé par l'invasion de l'Ukraine), la Syrie de Bachar, la Hongrie (Orban) et maintenant la Serbie (Vucic). Il a provoqué en Ukraine une haine contre la Russie qui va durer plusieurs générations. Il est en train d'abandonner les richesses de la Sibérie à la Chine. Ses troupes piétinent en Afrique. Toute l'Europe se réarme pour faire face à la menace russe. Son seul succès, c'est d'avoir contribué à installer un agent russe à la Maison blanche...

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's.

What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

Interesting difference in how the BBC and The Guardian are reporting Brazil’s presidential election.

The BBC explicitly identifies Lula as a left wing president but says nothing about the political position of his opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro.

Instead, it mentions that Bolsonaro’s father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, is under house arrest.

The Guardian, covering the same election, explicitly identifies Flávio Bolsonaro as far right.

Flávio Bolsonaro is a highly controversial political figure, yet the BBC tells readers more about his father’s legal situation than his own political position.

Why did the BBC consider it important to identify Lula as left wing while omitting the fact that his opponent is far right?

During the election, Lula was censored on Instagram and TikTok while Bolsonaro was promoted and favoured.

I provided technical analysis to investigative journalists in Brazil covering those allegations. My interview with them is available on Instagram. Link below.

Okay, I will admit that Norway does have one or two good things going for them.... But they fail in the only thing that matters. What a shithouse country.

This is interesting. Key Putin 🇷🇺 aide Ushakov admits that the Anchorage plan of having Trump 🇺🇸 force Zelensky 🇺🇦 into agreeing to their demands hasn’t worked because of the role of Europe. That’s it: if Europe stays the course, 🇷🇺 can’t win.

I'm with @StephenKing all the way. Elon really has jumped the shark.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Stephen King hit a nerve. I’ve never seen Elon so angry at him

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Bolsonaros embrace of Trump hurt him at the polls.

Orban and Vucic also suffered from too close association with a very unpopular American president.

It’s becoming an international trend.

The Trump brand will fade even further once he becomes a lame duck.

One week without Starshield for Ukraine has allowed russia to resupply units in sectors of the front where Ukraine was making progress and facilitated strikes against Ukrainian civilians.

This was deliberate aid to an invading army and a war crime.

What can I say, fucking insane. An unbelievably corrupt, authoritarian, who has been (finally) rejected by the Hungarian electorate to be installed as UN Secretary General? We live in a very strange world.

[Dan O'Brien @danobrien20]

The US lining up with China and Russia to put Orban into theUN sec gen job would be quite something.
