"Though Epstein has gone, the cryptocurrency infrastructure he helped to rescue, the ideological antipathy to regulation in Silicon Valley, and the dark, unaccountable influence of crypto politics in our democratic elections remain one of his most damaging legacies."

"The web of ties between Epstein, Moscow and Silicon Valley leads back to Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage. ...

As Epstein and Thiel’s finances aligned, so did their politics. Both men were unusually important early backers of Donald Trump’s first presidency."

@heidilifeldman Disgusting.

Putin's regime did this:

@heidilifeldman Fitting that they hang together. #Trump #Putin

President Zelensky:

"Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words that Europe needs to know how to defend itself.

A year has passed, and nothing has changed."

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize."

"It’s sundowning in America: A presidential mind is a dangerous thing to lose. ...

How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?"

"Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.

Think about where this is leading."

Pointing to Trump's letter to the Norwegian PM, Anne Applebaum says,

"The word 'bizarre' isn’t really sufficient to describe the strange things happening right now in Washington. ...

Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time."

"Protests took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Nuuk, Greenland, over the weekend. Thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against Trump’s plans to invade Greenland. Folks held signs that read 'Yankee Go Home' and 'No Annexation Without Representation,' and wore red hats that said 'Make America Go Away.'”

James Fallows offers a primer on Trump and Greenland:

1) This crisis is all coming from someone’s gut. Not from anyone’s brain.

2) The US has nothing to gain by ‘owning’ Greenland. Zero.

3) No one wants us there. Zero.

4) Greenland is smaller than you think. But the distances and remoteness are larger.

5) The whole idea of taking over Greenland would appall the founders of our country.

The graphic below, mocking Trump's susceptibility to insane ideas if a Nobel Peace Prize is dangled in front of him (and also mocking his insane jealousy of Barack Obama) is circulating on social media, and I have been unable to track its creator.
