Even after the age of Trump ends, the lesson has been made painfully clear that the US government cannot be trusted to honor its agreements to protect any person or piece of intelligence ever again. nytimes.com/2018/05/18/us/…
This is a far-reaching disaster. Domestically, from informants to cooperating witnesses to plea bargains to deals like DACA, internationally from intelligence sharing to trade deals to treaties. Why would anyone ever trust us again?
If our political system is not committed to continuity over partisanship (or perhaps more aptly, personality), we cannot be a reliable partner in any venture. Can we expect people to put their lives in our hands?

This seems like a perfect time to watch Nic Cage in what immediately looks to be another in the long line of laughably bad Netflix dystopias.
Well, this definitely ain't subtle.
It's The Humanity Bureau, for those of you who want to join me in this particular brand of purgatory. I think it just dropped today.

The dreaded YEAR-IN-REVIEW thread commences.
Much of my focus in 2018, and going forward, has been on extremist ideologies. In January, I contributed an essay to the @AspenJSP publication, Pluralism in Peril. assets.aspeninstitute.org/content/upload…
In April, for @TheAtlantic, I revisited the perennial question of which crimes we deem to be terrorism, and which we do not, and why it matters theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

This is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The paper is particularly interesting when read with Hogg's Uncertainty Identity Theory -- which I discuss in 'Extremism' amzn.to/2MhXwgQ -- and Kruglanski's cognitive closure thesis. Extremist beliefs tend to help people resolve uncertainty.
There are interesting causal questions around how extremist ideologies create and then resolve uncertainty, and to what extent people are attracted to extremism because they're predisposed to seek closure vs. ideologies making people more inclined to seek closure.

La partie d'échecs entre #Trump et #Woodward s'intensifie. #Trump a 1 stratégie offensive mais risquée. Sa négation des paroles prêtées par le journaliste du Post peut se retourner contre lui: combien parmi les sources de Woodward auront fait comme Omarosa et tout enregistré? 1/
2) D'ailleurs, et même si c'est plus anecdotique (quoique), #Trump a déjà été pris en défaut face à #Woodward sur un déni quant à #Sessions. Il niait avoir jamais utilisé le mot"demeuré"dans sa vie. C'est faux et pas qu'1 fois. Les bandes parlent. washingtonpost.com/politics/video…
3) Le livre de #Woodward met #Trump, qui est 1 personne volubile voire logorrhéique, au défi d'être confronté à l'ensemble de ses paroles. Et comme il choisit d'être"à l'offensive", absolu, ("je n'ai JAMAIS dit ça"), il prend 1 risque politique énorme.

1/Heated rhetoric between Washington & Tehran over recent days culminate in an ALL CAPS threat from #Trump directed at #Iran's president #Rouhani (flash-back to his tweet in Jan for N.Korea's Kim Jong Un on "bigger & more powerful" nuclear button). Trajectory deeply problematic:
2/#Trump's tweet response to #Rouhani saying yesterday:"America should know peace with #Iran is mother of all peace & war with Iran is mother of all wars".Rouhani left open prospect for diplomacy although SL #Khamenei said on Saturday further talks with US "useless" "major error"
3/In Middle East context Rouhani is right that Iran-US conflict is"mother of all wars".If you thought #Iraq invasion was bad: military conflict with #Iran would be devastating & costly:Iran roughly 4x size & 3x population size of Iraq in 2003.Niether Iran nor US interested in war

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

Si j'étais le président #Trump-je ne le suis pas-je commencerais la journée par 1 rafale de tweets expliquant à sa base pourquoi je vais laisser publier le mémo #Nunes et en quoi il montre les biais de l'enquête du FBI et du procureur #Mueller.Cependant, si imprévisible..à suivre
2) Et voilà,#Trump a donc bien commencé son opération de promotion du mémo #Nunes. Son tweet dévoile,s'il en était besoin,son intention première: pouvoir"liquider"#Rosenstein no.2 du ministère de la Justice, seul en capacité légale de virer #Mueller...RT
3) Cette info de @politico ce matin explique pourquoi #Trump "tire le 1er" contre l'enquête du procureur #Mueller. 2 avocats de personnes incriminées dans l'enquête pensent que le procureur inculpera le président (qui n'a aucune immunité constitutionnelle).politico.com/story/2018/02/…
