"A self-coup happens when an elected leader uses illegal means to stay in office or to take powers the constitution gives to someone else. The political scientists who have recorded self-coups since 1945 found that most of the failures happened when two groups refused to go along: the military’s top officers and the top figures in the leader’s own party.

Trump and Hegseth identified both factors."

"De AfD haalde de meeste stemmen bij kiezers tussen 35 en 59 jaar (52 procent) en scoorde relatief lager bij jongeren en 70-plussers. Verder is de aanhang bovengemiddeld vaak man, praktisch opgeleid en laagbetaald."

"Todd Blanche and the Justice Department had until July 2nd to respond to a court order to produce some of the unredacted Epstein Files, or to show cause for the redactions, and he did neither. Could this lead to contempt proceedings?"

Todd Blanche should be disbarred and prosecuted.
