A contention I find odd about Relotius is this idea that his lies were brilliantly concealed. His pieces fed conventional stereotypes about other societies among Spiegel's readership in a flippantly emotive style that can at best be accessible and at worst condescending
Relotius didn't get away with it because he was some kind of literary genius. He got away with it because his pieces so seamlessly copied the conventional tropes of post-1990 German journalism that no one could tell the difference between his work and genuinely researched stories
I've been reading Spiegel since I was a kid. Every tmonths there is a story about "those crazy small time Americans", "the rebellious French", "inscrutable Turks", "chaotic Italians", "eccentric Brits", "moody Russians", "wild Arabs", "ungovernable Ukrainians" and so on

Extraordinary how hard the UK government is fighting to lose whatever leverage it has left over the EU. A deal to protect Northern Ireland from English politics is essential even with a second referendum. But lack of realism over the UK's position after March 2019 is remarkable
Many have the psychology of the UK government during Brexit transition wrong. Tories in particular have strong incentives to pretend that achieving Brexit in itself has been a huge success. May and Gove will avoid any great rows over EU decisions that only underline UK weakness
Any complaints among UK MPs or voters about EU regulatory action that shape UK economic and political life in Brexit transition will be deflected by government claims of all the fantastic goodies waiting for the UK just over the rainbow of a final trade deal with the EU

Do those who want a referendum before March 2019 rather than during the transition believe security threats without a backstop are manageable and risks from political escalation are controllable? Do they think they can hold the UK union together when all else falls apart?
Because once a state slides into existential crisis even the best intentioned leaders often end up facing disastrous choices
Many on both sides of the UK Brexit debate need to take a harder look at what happens to states in moments of existential crisis.

If you propose a course of action with very high levels of risk at least acknowledge the existence of those risks and factor them into your strategy

This report from @TaraCopp at @MilitaryTimes that a "cabinet order" has authorized U.S. soldiers on the border to use force is a very big deal—not least because the President is likely making some very extreme legal claims to justify doing so.

How do we know that's the case?

The posse comitatus makes it a crime to use the U.S. Army for law enforcement purposes, except where "authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."
law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
Congress has authorized the military to help with certain law enforcement activities, but the same law expressly bans them from "direct participation" in activities that might require the use of force, like searches, seizures, and arrests.

Issue Brief: Conservative Opportunities in the 2018 Lame Duck

What is a Lame Duck session of Congress?

A Lame Duck session of Congress occurs after an election
2) and before the start of a new Congressional session. This year’s lame duck will take place between November 7th and January 3rd.

Why does a Lame Duck session of Congress matter this year?
3) Last month, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, a trillion-dollar spending package (H.R. 6157) combining DOD & L-HHS-Education appropriations with a continuing resolution funding the rest of the government into the heart of the lame duck—December 7th.

***The Decline of Exceptionalism***
1. There seems to be 2 worldviews & they are fighting to claim the identity of America in the 21st century and beyond.
2. One is centered upon Judeo-Christian lifestyles of kind-warmheartedness; being a good-Samaritan; morality & encompasses discipline, virtue, courage, & the dignity of being an American.
3. The other promotes lawlessness, endless grievances, class-racial-gender conflicts, immorality, endless victim-hood & when the going gets tgh they crawl into a "safe-space" or roll a joint, pop a pill, or stab a vein with liquid evil. thesun.co.uk/news/1926525/c…
