Threatening tariffs on any European state that doesn't go along with it as well.

Trump accepted Machado's medal

Seeing videos of ICE meatheads saying they're stopping people because of their accents is really something else. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/01/15/ice-minnesota-minneapolis-venezuela-man-shooting/ And also related, but again nothing to worry about. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/five-takeaways-reuters-interview-president-trump-2026-01-15/ “It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

Generally, I suppose no one should have expected the Trump administration powered by vibes and incessant insecure masculinity to be competent or efficient.

Should be in the funny thread, maybe.

Scott Adams of Dilbert. Seems he was a ****, as well.

So found out they made Jarhead sequels, should be fun

A GoFundMe for the fallen warrior is up

Deferring reading Beevor on the Russian Civil War, to read the Darth Bane trilogy. So far not too awful, for a Star Wars novel.

He pulled a coup on Rubio?

Have to give employee reviews, which is difficult as I couldn't care less about others at work (also I've been in charge of them for 3 weeks). Why, oh why, did they sack my manager last year.

https://archive.is/Yzkof “We didn’t have this meme-ification of various serious operations, these things that are life or death. … It’s not a joking matter. But that’s the way they’re treating it now.” What a time.

Kadyrov keeps dying and resurrecting to being near death.

Almost done Aven Colony's campaign. Enjoyable game, although is repetitive in the missions as I pretty much follow the same build order. Fun enough to try to optimize food refining, which I still haven't done, still end up with too much Entari. Maybe should have played on a harder difficulty.

I had forgotten about that cheerleading. Israel seems to want him, not sure about the US, but their foreign policy is probably based of what Trump sees on Twitter (Nioh Berg maybe). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-10/trump-s-venezuela-greenland-threats-make-canada-fear-it-s-next Albertan separatists are getting excited, heh

Western media sure pushing Pahlavi as the hero of the revolution, WSJ saying he took a risk calling for action.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/world/americas/trump-greenland-annex.html The rape jokes write themselves with that phrasing. https://today.yougov.com/topics/travel/survey-results/daily/2026/01/07/85f9f/3 Surprised at the number on that poll, for what it's worth, was expecting at least 40% to not care or be ok with it.

Maybe, would have expected it now. Definitely would get a kick out of that though.

What does that matter these days

Yeah, but just envisioning a mass doxxing. Would be amusing

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/01/09/russia-hit-ukraine-using-hypersonic-oreschnik-missile_6749241_4.html Poor headline aside.

The ICE commando was filming, video there will probably lead to it being ruled as justified I suspect. These ICE guys aren't the brightest though, who walks in front of a car and they also seem bent out of shape due to the women jawing at them. Wonder if they get doxed if the Dems take 2028.

Wouldn't be the US without some propaganda movies about their operations, yes. Why Cubans, maybe they are better trained than his domestic troops, but he also had 2000 presidential guard troops as well.

Sure, if you're not following any news on it at all. Rather small detail, and from what Cuba says, has some high ranks.
