Ojalá

Let them eat each other.

Yeah, the US and its puppets say the election was stolen!

Not just complicity, active collaboration and co-conspiracy.

The US has been stomping on international law my entire life.

As opposed to all the other times the US removed a sovereign foreign leader? I can name more than half a dozen off the top of my head and I know there’s way fucking more than that that I’d have to look up to remember. Same as it ever was.

I’m 60/40 thinking Trump is going to win here, because there’s no one to actually oppose him. In other cases where he’s tied up in court it’s because there’s political opposition. Who opposes this? A few progressives? It’s almost a bipartisan consensus.

They can also fast-track cases from the lower courts to accelerate them to the Supreme Court, and have done so. Another trick they have is to make an interim ruling without issuing a majority opinion through the so-called “shadow docket”. Then they can have the whole trial while the circus in the lower courts plays itself out. He could be in prison for years before they rule it unconstitutional.

Assuming Trump doesn’t push for public execution.

The lower courts can meaningfully delay Trump, but that lasts until it reaches the Supreme Court. The rigged 6-3 fascist Court almost always either rules in his favor, or delays an official ruling to let him get away with whatever he’s doing.

Trump has shown a tendency to just ignore procedure and just do whatever he wants. The only reason he wouldn’t be able to do that is if he was opposed, but who is going to oppose it? There’s a few Democrats, but not even a majority of the electeds. I doubt there’s a single Republican that’d oppose. Would the Supreme Court stop him?

I think he can make this as big and stupid as he wants, and unless the masses protest against it he’ll get away with it.

Unlike Vietnam, there are millions of people in the US that are either from or that have close family in Latin America. That’s why they spent the last year trying to deport and terrorize migrants, why they want to go after naturalized citizens, why they talk about going after “home growns” after they’ve finished rounding up the migrants, etc etc. It’s all laying the groundwork for this next stage.

We’ll see how well it works. I think they’re moving too fast and it’s going to blow up in their faces.

The Hellmouth.

Trump is the reality TV president, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it like a TV court drama.

The US has been waging war since 2002 when it tried to coup Chavez. Obama continued it by hammering them with sanctions and naming Venezuela an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. Trump continued it by recognizing the joke candidate Juan Guaidó and ramping up sanctions, Biden paused the sanctions pressure to get some prisoners released and then ramped it right up when they didn’t elect the “correct” candidates, and now Trump isn’t even pretending this has anything to do with human rights or elections or national security or any of that other bullshit. He’s ripped the mask of and told everyone what America has always done. Every demon that this county elects thirst for oil and blood, same as it ever was.

In short, death to America. Venezuela will break the back of this invasion and I spit on every piggy that serves in this demon country’s army.

He also can’t just tear down a third of the White House on a whim, but here we are.

Critical support!

Ukraine’s far right problem is as nuanced as the US’s

You’re right, which is why I want both of them to lose.

lol yeah cuz Ukraine is doing great right now, huh?

Taiwan is likely looking at how the West used Ukraine and seeing its own future if it comes to war, and is not excited for it.

Well yeah they’re haunted.

And it was still something like 30% detectable as AI. That tells me that every article will still read as samey, even if it’s different enough to fool a tool that was trained on the current trends. Authorial voice is lost, replaced by the model’s voice.

It was only when they trained on authors specifically, which cost $81, that it dropped down to 3%. They won’t do that.

Fine tuning costs money which means they aren’t going to do it. I fully expect they’ll settle for slop (they already have) and so will everyone else. You might as well get used to it. Everything gets worse forever and nothing ever gets better.
