Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

This just in: Donald Trump's defense for attempting a coup is "I do not recall"

This should be on par with saying “it was September 10th, 2002, right?” and then running for president on a platform of anti-terrorism.

Jfc I “served our nation” because I was a broke af teenager living in the height of pre-2008 capitalism and spent a majority of my time doing drugs, engaging in lewd sex acts, and listening to punk-rock music and I’m still somehow more of a patriot than this jagaloon.

In a new legal filing, the prosecutor criticised the former president’s attorneys for writing that Mr Smith’s team “has been investigating this matter for three and a half years, while the defense is starting with a blank slate”.

“Not only is this claim impossible, as January 6, 2021, was two and a half years ago, but it is disingenuous,” the Special Counsel’s office wrote.

These are attorneys for a former president of the United States. You'd think they would be a bit more competent, but I guess this is what happens when you don't pay your attorneys or take their advice. Donald Trump is left with the bottom of the barrel.

Personally, I hope the January 2nd date holds. I don't know if there is anything he can do to delay it, and from what I've read this judge has been pretty harsh on the January 6th insurrectionists that have come her way.
