Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski:
“Mixing business with politics usually ends badly, especially when we talk about Elon Musk… I wish Musk well, he’s a great inventor and I hope he will fly to Mars one day.”
Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death.
The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange.
Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek.
Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.
Douthat: Who do you trust more, Putin or Zelensky?
Trump: Well, I'd rather not say, but I get along with both…There is tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky…When they had their first meeting there was great disrespect shown to Russia.
President Trump says he believes the war in Ukraine will end soon, adding that ultimately there could be changes to the country’s borders: “They're going to end up with a little bit different shape Ukraine.” https://t.co/KL9y0GUqWo
Conversation in Moscow:
"What hopes do you have for peace?"
"None."
"What could bring peace closer?"
"A miracle."
In this extended Reading Russia: a revolution, a war, an election and an exhibition.
💥 A perfect example of why Stephen Miller is so thoroughly unlikable. Jim Acosta asks a legitimate question about America’s immigration values. Miller responds with arrogance, hostility and pure contempt. 🙄
Your husband mocked George Floyd’s death repeatedly. Your husband didn’t believe in empathy. He had no morals. We do not mourn him and we do not care about your grifter ass.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been such a giant piece of shit. That was why he was killed. Your husband was such a terrible person that someone hated him enough to kill him. Is that not a wake up call to you? Your morals are so disgusting that millions of people hate you.
You play victim when the real victims are the people your husband spent his career shaming and attacking. He is not a victim of anything other than his own hate.
Wow. We’ve been covering Trump for a decade and I’ve never seen this. Trump is reading from his notes during his 60 Minutes interview.
He needs a reminder that thousands died in Iraq? He looks lost and feeble. His mind is totally gone.
