That's why I tell #bluemaga to try to work on their #maga friends and family instead of beating up on Arab and Muslim Americans in the #abandonbiden camp. The #gqp has a pretty easy choice to make. For some of us on the left, supporting #genocide is a non-starter. If you want to lower the stakes, then lower the stakes.
#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…
The way the mainstream media covers Bird Flu is wild. It's like a watchman who sees a giant ogre coming and says, "There's on ogre out there. But don't worry, he's walking the other way. Oop! He's walking this way, but he's probly headed somewhere else. Oh, ok, he's headed this way, but he probably won't eat anybody when he gets here. Ok, he's here, but so far he's only looking at folks hungrily. He's probably just window shopping. Ok, so now..." #avianflu#birdflu#CovidIsNotOver#uspolitics#media
"There have been 19 presidential elections in my lifetime. In every one, the losing candidates accepted the results as lawful, with one exception: Donald Trump."
"Nixon lost the 1960 election to John F. #Kennedy by a razor-thin margin, and stories circulated at the time about vote theft in some states. #Nixon accepted the results.
"For more than two months after Election Day, [Trump] spread the #lie that he had won when it was obvious to any fair-minded person that his claims were false. He still repeats this falsehood.
"Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election had historic consequences. The so-called #BigLie — Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen from him — led to the #Jan6 2021 #insurrection...
Keeping up with and commenting on #Trump news 24/7 doesn't make you an informed citizen, much less an activist. It makes you a partisan hack who refuses to acknowledge the humanity of people who are already being killed by American #fascism. Turn off the Rachel Maddow and start reading some al jazeera. #racism
Well-known U.S. sports podcaster Colin Cowherd neatly sums up a recent development in politics & the law:
"Donald Trump is now a felon. His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his national security adviser, his trade advisor, his foreign policy adviser, his campaign fixer, & his company CFO. They’re all felons.
'Judged by the company you keep.' It’s a cabal of convicts."
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” Joseph Heller, Catch-22 #Trump#Writing#josephheller#uspolitics#Politics
Max Bergmann, a former State Department official and now program director with the Center for Strategic International Studies, predicts Russian-fueled turbulence at the Democratic national convention in August. He foresees attempts of Russian operatives to infiltrate groups of protestors and attempt to turn protests violent.
He also notes that social media has “become way more of a cesspool than it was in 2016.”
@wdlindsy good cover to suppress the opinion of the people . Pretty obvious they will use our tax payer money to plant the violence against us during our protest of their genocide. All to further degrade us from within and create cover for their violence upon us. Staring early with their #Russia smear campaign. #ceaseifrenow#stopgenocide#usa#uspolitics#dnc#chicago
