Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

I mean, I don't disagree. I want blood. But I also want to be assured that blood will happen, and I can wait a few months. And by blood I mean figuratively. Justice should have been swift after Biden won, but once again corporate Democrats dragged their feet trying to do it in a friendly way. I'm not saying we do that again. Way too many people's lives were upended because the Democrats pussyfooted around for far too long.
This time, we go after everything hard and fast. The heritage foundation, trump admin, the media takeover, AI, surveillance, foreign interference. But make the plan, do it right and make sure it's air tight. Get real justice, no slaps on the wrist. And after that, make sure it can never happen again.
Not going to happen. You don’t unwind 2+ years of malfeasance and corruption quickly. Certainly not when one of the involved parties is still a sitting US president.
That’s why they need to get started as quickly as possible. The best time for these actions was 8 months ago, the second best time is now.
Oh totally. Get the planning started. Look into things that need more looking into. But it's only 2 months away. You can't just bang out the paperwork super fast. Start on that quietly now. Do it, make sure your t's are crossed, your i's dotted. Make the papers theoretical fort knox's. That should allow a fuck ton of information to come fast during investigations. You've already got your ducks in a row. And you don't allow the opposition the time to coordinate.
If you announce investigations about specific things 2 months out, you give them time to anticipate the direction they're going. For instance you can say you're investigating kushner for corruption. He and his connections can start building defenses for it. But if you don't play your cards, they know they'll be investigated for something, and they'll assume corruption. And they'll plan for that. But instead, you could go for bribery while their defense has nothing for it. Throw in RICO and you start PAC-MANing up large bits of info that they didn't expect to need to cover.
That's just a loose example, and I am obviously not a lawyer, but politicking isn't exactly lawyering either. It's a strategy game. Strategy however, is something I am very familiar with. You never, ever let the opposition learn your strategy. Keep the enemy on their toes. Hegseth shows up thinking he's defending himself about "drug boats" and nail him with civil rights questions about firing top generals. When someone's on their back foot they give up a lot more information.
All I'm saying is don't play the cards without a plan.
(And destroying as much evidence as possible, of course.)
Hopefully he'll invite a reporter to the Signal group chat (again) when giving the order to destroy evidence.
