Neocons, Free Trade, Open Borders (Choose Any Three)  (Chateau Heartiste)
"Most fortunately for the Nation Saviors, 'free trade' has become justifiably saddled with negative connotations, so this neocon sleight of rhetoric no longer works as well as it once did (there are still GOPe cuck hold-outs, but they’ll bend the knee to Trumpism in due time). Tariffs, for example, are immensely popular, and support cuts across voter demos. The latest poll has 80% of Americans supporting Trump’s tariffs."

One thing leads to another (Motus Mentis)
John Adams's, letter to Thomas Jefferson, December 21st 1819.

Voting Out Liberal Democracy (Amerika)
"[It] appears that Brazil’s citizens are ready to willingly vote their democracy away this October in the hope that a militant far right politician will aggressively dismantle a democratic system that appears to be broken beyond repair."  Hmmm. Interesting times.

Trump pardons Navy sailor who took illegal submarine photos (NY Post)
Hard to believe this prosecution even happened, TBH.

Chicago is a WRoL* Anarcho-Tyranny (Chicago Sun-Times)
Numerous repeat felons are being released far short of their sentences. The system fails to either rehabilitate them or incapacitate them. No wonder Chi-town is such a mess.
*Without rule of law.

White working-class voters have had enough of Conservative(INC)™ pundits gaslighting them about "muh free trade!" (Kurt Schlichter)
 Steel and aluminum tariffs are very popular among people that work for a living but not with the Wall Streeters, Ivy League economists, and the talking heads at CNBC. Go figure?
