I wholeheartedly approve of this message. Until we make progress on unfucking the Republican judiciary fuckery of the last 20 years, made orders of magnitude worse today. No more bringing knives to gun fights. #rant#uspoli
@stevesilberman "...more than 400 Southern Baptist church leaders or volunteers had been charged with sex crimes since 2000." But, apparently, drag queens are the problem. #uspoli#RepublicanRapists
All of this "Democrats should worry about tit for tat" is beyond hypocritical. Democrats did not do tit-for-tat against GWB after the ginned up Clinton Impeachment. Democrats didn't do it to Trump after GOP tried the same thing with Obama nor when they refused to support legislation they normally would under Obama. Trump already tried to make the US AG and DOJ his personal law firm. He directly interfered with investigations against cronies and his family. Meanwhile Democratic congressional members and the Biden's own son are under active investigation and criminal cases for stuff that was shady as fuck, in the case of Menedez, or wouldn't normally have gone this far in the case of some of Hunter's charges. Republicans were already going to use these things without the pretense they are presenting here because one of their own was finally held to account. #uspoli#rant
#ICC / Prosecutor asks for arrest warrants for three leading Hamas leaders, as well ass Netanyahu and Galant
[...] The office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Monday said it was seeking arrest warrants against three leading Hamas militants for their alleged roles in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Watch: ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan explains the charges against top Hamas and Israeli leadership in detail in this excerpt from his interview with @amanpour this morning at The Hague
That is a nice, simplistic, acontextual, and irrelevant story. Thank you for sharing it, but I find it to be defeatist. I prefer to look at #history.
The #USA is a multiparty #democracy. The current dominant parties have not always existed. There have been periods of multiparty governance in the USA; it is the normal circumstance in other, similar, #democratic states.
Voting for any evil is morally and ethically wrong.
#LevParnas, the reformed convicted former #Trump associate who worked hand-in-glove with #DonaldTrump and #RudyGiuliani to try to dig up “dirt” on the #Bidens so that Trump could spread #disinformation heading into the #2020election, exposed the details of Trump’s scheme during another sham #GOP hearing today about the Bidens.
So, Posobiec said the quiet part on loudspeaker at CPAC. 20 odd years ago, David Frum quipped that “If conservatives decide they can’t win, they won’t abandon conservatism, they’ll abandon democracy”.
GOP antics since Obama have shown that abandonment - now they’re admitting to it.
If the states don’t have authority to decide if a candidate can run for election via the 14th amendment, who does? The Federal Elections Commission? Federal lawsuit (if so, who has standing?). Seriously, who?
Congressional Republicans are blocking crucial aid to Israel and Ukraine out of sheer servility to Trump.
"The true outcome of the fiasco in Congress will be the collapse of U.S. credibility all over the world. American allies will seek protection from more trustworthy partners, and America itself will be isolated and weakened."
