'Colombian #President, Gustavo Petro, warned that Colombia will break diplomatic relations with #Israel if it does not comply with the recent resolution of the United Nations Security Council, which demands a ceasefire in #Gaza'
A parade of GOP “leaders” have abandoned their principles to enter the #ShamelessBootlickers Hall of Fame.
It’s hard enough to accept that we had someone who, I would argue, is a mob-boss-like #madman as #president of the United States. And it’s hard to swallow that almost 75 million Americans voted for the guy in 2020.
This article confirms my worst fear of the #movie#CivilWar depicting an unearned adoration of the #press in general, given its utter failure since at least the 1980's to consistently name people and things as they are and to "speak truth to power", at least here in the #US.
Apparently #film director #AlexGarland follows the disproven ethos of "objectivity", which avoids responsibility for stating truths, ignoring that such "silence" always sides with oppression
I started watching a #YouTube video on the #OneTake channel titled "What Civil War is Really About" which starts by defending Garland with the argument that everyone in the #US agrees on one thing, regardless of our #politics, that we don't want a tyrannical #President.
That perspective suits (mostly) white people (white men, especially) and is a deliberate lie that ignores the truth that much, if not most, of #Trump's appeal has always been his promise and attempts to act tyrannically.
The Trump campaign’s managers sent a letter asking Republican candidates that use Trump’s name and image in their fundraising ads to give a 5% cut to the Republican nominee’s presidential committee. The letter comes as the former president seeks to close a fundraising gap with President Biden, but campaign officials insist the move is not meant to raise money but to discourage scammers from using his brand and diluting its fundraising reach. Read more from Politico.
"Imagine the impact all of this is having on potential witnesses and jurors in the criminal cases against #Trump. If Trump can get away with threatening a Judge’s daughter, if he can do this to the #President of the United States, then what’s going to happen to them if they take the witness stand against him or vote to convict?"
Friends I have absolutely had enough of the far-left Pro-Gaza Protesters that is masquerading as pro-Palestinians activist who continue to follow the #President of the United States across the country just to scream lie disrespect and attack his character and encouraging voters not to vote, HOW DARE YOU" My family here in the US are Even more important then the narrative you're selling about the Palestinian ppl when it's just a movement to hurt Biden and elect Trump. these groups are frauds #FP
Genetic analysis has shed light on a long-standing mystery surrounding the fates of President George Washington’s younger brother Samuel and his kin. Two of Samuel’s descendants and their mother were recently identified from skeletal remains found in unmarked burials dating back to the 1880s, CNN Reports: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/28/us/george-washington-descendants-dna-study-scn/index.html
President Volodymyr Zelensky was briefed on the project for the construction of a platoon stronghold near Sumy, which includes reinforced concrete structures, firing positions for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and corrugated steel shelters.
“For the purpose of this #criminal case, fmr President #Trump has become #citizenTrump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant,” the panel wrote. “But any executive #immunity that may have protected him while he served as #president no longer protects him against this prosecution.”
When the case was argued in the appeals court, a lawyer for Trump argued that former presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution even for murders they ordered while in office.
“'Why do you use words like ‘vermin’ and ‘poisoning of the blood"?' Howard Kurtz, the media critic and interviewer, asked on Fox News. 'The press, as you know, immediately reacts to that by saying, "Well, that’s the kind of language that Hitler and Mussolini used."' 'Because our country is being poisoned,' Mr. Trump responded."
Trump thinks writing secret checks to adult film stars is part of the duties of a US #president but saving his Veep's life or stopping an #insurrection is not. Like Jimmy Kimmel said, the man has priorities.
On #Hungarian national #TV, Viktor Orbán laments the state of the world without #Trump in office, calls him the "#President of #peace," and says Trump will not give one penny to #Ukraine if he's elected >>>
#AnneApplebaum notes that Orbán is the one who initially created the fake war against immigrants and promulgated the idea that they would replace ethnic Hungarians. No wonder he and Trump are #DictatorBros 😐
The big problem with the #Biden State of the Union speech was that instead of speaking to the whole country about the whole country, it focused on speaking to his own choir about himself and his reelection.
That’s why people are criticizing it as a campaign speech.
If you’re a Biden supporter, realize that the speech did not invite non-supporters, including independents, to join in his efforts. It appealed only to those already on board, which is not productive in terms of actually getting those efforts done.
In other words, if you’re in favor of what Biden was calling for, you too should be critical that this #SOTU won’t help get those things done.
The speech seemed focused on helping nobody… except Joe Biden’s personal reelection.
I'm concerned that there's a decent chance future history books will point to this as the start of the second civil war. Without any accountability imposed, the chance of #Trump attempting a more violent version of #J6 when he loses again is damn near 100%.
