Yeah, negotiations tend to go badly when one, in preparation for the negotiations murders over 80 of a nation's leaders including the father of the guy now in charge. Of course, a permanent war in the Middle East is what Netanyahu wants and needs and he has enlisted Trump in his insane love of wars of aggression.

War, or murderous attack on a Nation with the intention of stealing their oil, clearly an illegal war of aggression. Here I am writing of both the present wars against Iran and against Venezuela and of course the coming war with Cuba, a nation without oil but Cuban exiles have a lot of votes in Florida.

Israel has the "disease" of being an apartheid state, and it has infected many countries, most notably the US, with the sickness of genocide. Weird thing is, if Israel had instead worked hard for peace and worked to help the Palestinians establish a state, Israel would be stronger, more unified.

Fascinating...Musk bought a Presidency for Trump and he is the world's richest oligarch...one would think he has it all wrapped up...nice to see independent judiciary in action.

I am a bit surprised at how much heat this all has produced considering who the President and his family represent, have represent, will represent, over time.
And yes, I fully expect Trump to resign if the midterms go as badly as predicted, so Vance can pardon him and his entire grifting empire.

Trump admires Putin for many reasons, but I am sure one of the top reasons is that Putin owns the Russian legal system, and as a dictator he gets to turn every thought and impulse into reality...
Trump, our President is a danger to the safety of the world...we went from being a shining city on a hill to being the most dangerous, drug addled heavily armed gangsters out there, and here. We even let people murder children in schools...something correctable by controlling firearm possession.

Just a small point...Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons of mass destruction aimed straight at Iran, so Israel is in no danger from Iran. The attack by the US and Israel on Iran was murder, illegal and was, at one point in the history of the UN, actionable. But now the rule of law has been encased in concrete and dumped into the depths of the Strait...
Trump is bankrupting America as he bankrupted those casinos, for his personal enjoyment and profit.

Problem is, many if not most of those who vote for Trump are about such racism and the domination of white men over women, over those with Black or Brown skin, whose religion might not be fundamentalist Christian.

Julius Caesar, in his most insane, grandiose moments, doesn't compare to Trump wild eyed narcissism. Napoleon, Alexander the Great...Trump joins the army of those who don't care who they murder, who they invade, pathological murderers all.
Trump is at war with each and every freethinking America out here in our American who likes those Constitutional freedoms like freedom of religion, freedom from religion, of speech, of the right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition...
Damn the Republican Party for championing someone who loves seeing American fascism on the march, who has no problem with the Lee Atwater campaigning tactic of dividing all using hate.

Closed door lying session, one figures if anyone knows how dangerous it is to tell the truth about the Trump cult, it is Pam Bondi.

And equally dangerous for America and Americans, China is far more advanced than the US when it comes to sustainable energy and having a unified people. But then, hate and division are the only things the Trump cult have to offer.
We are led by grifting gangsters, and we are wandering in a very dangerous and frightening world, without competent leadership. Personally, I think Trump these days is more and more intentionally a Russian asset.

Without racism and misogyny the Republican Party would be toast as a national party, and we all know that. Research Lee Atwater if you have doubts.

Sort of like me saying I was a great student when I first went to college, gambling on the hopes that no one remembers me...but still, Discovery...sending people subpoenas having them testify in open court or in a deposition to the truth...I would bet Kash would be mighty embarrassed, and a lot poorer, for he is liable for defamation when he takes after those who testify.
(Gee...all those hours watching Law and Order is paying off...I understood what is going on, I think).

America may not pull itself out of the spin MAGA has piloted us into...I have lived long enough to know that some of my mistakes are of the " what the hell was I thinking" kind, and certainly I have done my share of apologizing, but in a few months we have the midterms, and if the Republican Party still controls Congress after them, there may be a huge financial crash.

We share the earth with Americans who voted for Trump and his MAGA gang, twice. Clearly, there are a lot of people happy to be fools, but fools for Trump, at this late stage, is not something people are bragging about to their friends. The Gold Trump Card, and yes, the Platinum Card, can be yours...https://www.trumpcard.gov

And holy crap is it one ugly piece of grifting thuggery. You can live in the US and escape international taxes. No kidding...look at the link.

Ah yes, religion, a practicing philosophy where ten different people can claim ten different certainties about how the Universe gets through its days. Now, Talarico is a person of faith who I have learned to admire as he uses his belief system to uplift himself and others, and is not interested in world domination.
All in all, I see Christianity to be not a religion of faith, but a declaration of tribal demands....this is what you say, how you dress, what you bend a knee to.
The day they establish Christianity as the national religion, that day is when our Constitutional Republic truly falls to fanatics.

I am a low income person, but each month I keep subscribed to the NYTimes, where this story originated. Without independent media like the Times, we would be lost to the gaslighting BS artists of the Republican Party including those grifters who are running all of our government at the moment.

Fascism, the permanent rule of the very few over the great majority of us, using violence, gaslighting propaganda, and elitism to the max, well, it is our turn to either fight it and win or fight it and lose, our democracy.
All because, MAGA, and the Republican Party held their subservience to the ruling class to be an American value.

Rigging the vote for fun and profit...there is a better way but the truth is, in most of America, the Republican Party is the minority party and to stay in power and keep on taking from the poor to give to the rich they need to rig the elections.

Well, there will surely be a large tv audience for some of the matches, especially the one in June with Iran, but not because people care about "football", it will be the controversy and the ugliness of anything that Trump gets his greedy hands on.

I find myself a huge fan of Talarico, and I identify as an atheist. In no way is he a danger to those of us who see things differently, he is supported by his religion but in the race will be clearly showing how much of a danger white nationalist Christian nationalism is to our Constitutional Republic.

Take from the poor to pay for the tax cuts that enrich the billionaire ruling class. Day in, day out, Trump and his gang are going about their work, of ruining the lives of poor Americans.

One wonders just how idiotic were those on the Grand Jury who allowed the indictment to stand. Hillary Clinton would probably have been President if not for Comey's thumb on the scales at the last minute, but still, he did not commit the crime of threatening the life of the President.

One wonders why the Democratic Party doesn't sue, why one independent journalist has to sue to get the feds to follow the law? I would wonder why the utterly corrupted Republican Party is so on board with the coverup, but after all this time, it is just a truth that the Republican Party is as corrupt as Trump.

Time to reign in Cutthroat Capitalism as it inevitably results in the very few owning it all, and the very many of us find no ears to listen to our suffering. If the billionaires move offshore...more the better. Tax them the way they were taxed in 1954, our economy is failing and FDRs safety net is in great trouble.
