It is worth noting to the folks cheering these indictments, Comey and Bolton who will be close on Comey's heals are both lifelong Republicans. Your dear leaders aren't owning libs here but eating your own.

More: In Petro's final speech before the U.N. in New York on Tuesday, he observed (according to a live translation from the U.N.) that the world is in a "different situation" than it was when he first addressed the international body in 2022.

"The old societies of Europe are collapsing," he said, "and the United States is applauding its new Hitler. It's not listening to its own young people, or its older people who died in the battlefields of Europe, fighting against Hitler and against his criminal ideology. Today, the same thing is being done as Hitler did, building concentration camps for migrants, and it's stated that migrants are of an inferior race, and they blame them just like Hitler blamed the Jews. They call them drug traffickers and thieves."

In stressing the need for climate action, Petro said of Trump: "The most powerful man in the world does not believe in science. That is irrationality. And Germany, the country of great philosophers, of Kant, Feuerbach, and others, became prey of irrationalism in 1933, and today it's this country that is becoming irrational. The solution is to stop consuming fossil fuels and to quickly switch to water, wind, hydrogen."

He also described Trump as "an accomplice to genocide" in Gaza. "This forum," he said of the U.N., "is a mute witness to a genocide, in a world where we thought that this was something only a legacy of Hitler."

"A kind of stone age," he said earlier in his remarks, has seemingly "descended on all of humankind""citing inaction on the climate crisis, Trump's strikes on "unarmed young people in the Caribbean," Israeli strikes "that have killed some 70,000 people in Gaza," and "the persecution, imprisonment, and expulsion of millions of migrants."

The Colombian president denied Trump's claim that the people on the Venezuelan boats the U.S. bombed (on shaky legal ground) earlier this month were trafficking drugs. "They said that the missiles in the Caribbean were used to stop drug trafficking," Petro said. "That is a lie."

"There should be criminal cases against those officials of the United States for doing this, including the utmost official, President Trump," he said, "that allowed the shooting of missiles against these young people who were simply trying to escape poverty""who "might have had a certain amount of drugs," he added, but "were not drug traffickers."

The U.S. mainstream media, for its part, has largely ignored his comments.

I bet Mr Comey wishes he had never opened his stupid mouth about that Clinton "investigation" back in 2016 right about now.

"AmErIcA FiRsT!!!!"

More of that Republican "free speech."

I think we should make it easier for American born students to go to medical school. Put a pause on accepting foreign students. That's putting America first for a change.

Odd that the Benghazi folks don't seem to care about this at all.

British rule was disastrous for them as it was for most places the Brits colonized. Not as bad as when the Israelis came but they do have a point.

Which is why they will be able to sue the ---- out of the government if they make this announcement.

More: The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a "threat group," but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of "violent extremism."

Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau's new threat category, "Nihilistic Violent Extremists" (NVEs).

The Trump administration first created the NVE designation earlier this year to replace the Biden-era label "Anti-Authority and Anti-Government Violent Extremists" (AGAAVE), created to categorize January 6 rioters and other right-wing groups.

The new classification, sources say, gives Trump officials political (and media) cover. Rather than directly naming transgender people as some enemy, the White House has preferred euphemisms like "gender ideology extremism."

Nothing says "I deserve a Nobel peace prize" like having a Department of War.

Let's see the Republicans defend this BS.

Moscow Mitch is responsible for the sad state of affairs we have today. If he hadn't rigged the Supreme Court by robbing Obama of an appointment and refused to convict Trump we wouldn't have this problem. He can shove his concern where the sun don't shine.

More: With over 3,000 stores worldwide and an annual revenue exceeding $6 billion, Levi's is one of the largest American brands to warn of the indirect effect on its operations from global opposition to Trump's trade policies.

An already observed side effect of Trump's tariffs has been a surge in calls to boycott American companies abroad. This first emerged in Canada, where ongoing grassroots and lawmaker-led boycotts have made a notable dent in some American companies' bottom lines. The recent decision to impose a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods has also sparked a similar "buy Indian" movement in the country.

One expert told Newsweek that we can expect boycotts of U.S. brands to continue through 2025, especially for companies such as Levi's that have "leveraged their American identity" and whose products are relatively easy to substitute.

This is completely unAmerican.

Having to empty 80+ lbs of carbon per full tank of gas is beyond ridiculous and will never work.

More: "Here's a guy who held a top secret clearance and was privy to some of the most sensitive information we have, who served in a combat zone," said Kenneth Koop, a retired colonel who trained the Afghan military and police during Mavalwalla's deployment. "To see him treated like this really sticks in my craw."

Who wants to risk arrest for speaking a foreign language in public?

Who would want to vacation in occupied cities?

Who wants to visit ideologically sanitized museums?

Who wants to go to national parks full of trash and overflowing pit toilets because they don't have the staff they need to clean them?

1) The bruised hands. The puzzle of Trump's badly bruised and heavily make-up-ed hands has been one of the summer's odder presidential story lines. The White House has maintained that the bruises come from how much Trump loves shaking hands. "President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day," Karoline Leavitt said.

White House physician Sean Barbabella breezily dismissed the bruising in a memo, saying it was "benign" and "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking," but there's reason to believe there's more to it than that. For one thing, the bruising isn't limited to his dominant handshaking hand; it also has been a regularly recurring phenomenon of the last year. Barbabella's dismissal also raises some curious questions, saying it's a common side-effect of "aspirin therapy," but it's not clear from at least our public understanding of the president's health (more on that below) that he should be on "aspirin therapy."

2) The pattern changes. Donald Trump is basically the most habit-bound and routine-bound man we know in American politics. And yet we've seen some major departures of his routine in recent weeks " including, not least of all, that he stuck in Washington all this weekend. Trump takes off for one of his golf resorts the first chance he can nearly every weekend of the year, and yet he's just choosing to spend an extra-long holiday weekend hanging out at the White House? Why? Is his medical team wanting to keep him closer to top secure medical facilities?

At the August 22nd Oval Office event where photos of Trump's bruised hands went viral, I was struck by something else " as Public Notice was too: The oddity of Trump appearing tie-less. In fact, all the men in the photo op are not wearing their ties, making clear that this was a coordinated decision to align with the president's sartorial choice. Trump effectively never appears in the Oval Office without a tie " remember how they berated Zelenskyy for appearing in the Oval Office without a suit earlier this year? Scroll back through the summer and there appears to be no recent precedent for the president NOT wearing a tie in the Oval Office. It also is a rare " if not unprecedented " time that he wears a hat while sitting at his desk in the Oval Office. So for this one event, one where the president's ill health appears on very public display, he and everyone else in the event, including JD Vance, chooses to go tie-less and he also wears a hat? At the very least, it would cause me to ask around about what else was going with Donald Trump on August 22nd?

More: According to one of the firefighters, they were denied the chance to say goodbye to the detained crew members.

"I asked them if his (family) can say goodbye to him because they're family, and they're just ripping them away," the firefighter told the Times. "And this is what he said: You need to get the (expletive) out of here. I'm gonna make you leave.'"
