#Biden on the impact of #Jan6 on America’s standing in the world:

= TIME I said, “Well, America's back.” Macron looked at me and he said, “For how long? For how long?” And then Schultz said to me, “What would you say Mr. President, if tomorrow you pick up The London Times and found out that thousands of people stormed the British Parliament, broke down the doors, killed two Bobbies to prevent the implement—the swearing in of a, of a prime minister, a choice of prime minister?” And it made me realize just how fundamentally what he allowed to happen sitting in this room, looking at that television for three hours and didn't do a damn thing, said about America, and how much confidence people lost in America. There's not a, there’s not a...I’m gonna, say, be careful what I say...There's not a major international meeting I attend that before it’s over—and I've attended many, more than most presidents have in three and a half years—that a world leader doesn’t pull me aside as I'm leaving and say, “He can’t win. You can’t let him win.” My democracy and their democracy is at stake. My democracy is at stake. And so name me a world leader other than Orban and Putin who think that Trump should be the world leader in the United States of America.

    I love the comparison with the UK when speaking to Biden:

    "What would you say Mr. President, if tomorrow you pick up The London Times and found out that thousands of people stormed the British Parlement, broke down the doors, killed two Bobies to prevent the swearing in of a choice of prime minister?"

    Many people in the USA do not realize how utterly undemocratic January 6 was and how it completely damaged the reputation of the US as a stable country.

    Indeed, This is “an economy of the haves and have-nots,”.

    The lower-income consumers have blown through their pandemic savings and the higher-income consumers who own more than half of all shares of stock owned by Americans. The ones who are benefiting from higher prices due to the resulting stock buybacks by corporations.

    Justice says he believes that the wants him to repeat a significant portion of the .

    He will read pages 6-35.

    Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

    Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

    Of course his donation link.

    The thing that Trump has been most successful with during the last eight years, is getting money from Americans by making them think that he, a billionaire conman, fights for them.

    A new drone video shared on Telegram shows what Ukraine is capable of, when we provide the proper equipment.

    What we see here, is allegedly 4 Russian S-400 batteries in action but immediately found and destroyed by Ukraine with counter battery fire. The returned fire is very likely ATACMS cluster munitions.

    With that type of response, Russian soldiers won't dare to fire rockets anymore.

    That article has a nice painting of Obama.

    Although Republicans might hate that he is wearing a tan suit.

    Of course, we should make decisions based on facts, but nothing rings as sharing personal experiences.

    Unfortunately, as you state: "The mistakes made at one point in time have an eerie way of reemerging two generations later, as memories fade."

    Thanks for sharing.

    In the 1970s and 1980s, many of us had so many experiences that seem unimaginable for Millenials and GenZ.

    Loved the photo as well, next to your Mastodon pic.

    Right wing media positions in the US:

    Bill Clinton having an affair with Monica Lewinsky — the worst scandal in history.

    Trump having affairs with both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal — oh well… Boys will be boys.

    I point out that reading from the Bible, as Trump tries, is nothing compared to quoting from the Bible.

    Musk playing the end game of capitalism.

    Thanks for writing this article.

    No other CEO would be able to get away with his antics and demands.

    In several actions, both in Russia and the US, he has also shown that, at heart, he is not a supporter of the USA. No matter his vows when he naturalized.

    Opportunistic at every turn while asking for handouts from governments and shareholders.

    $153 billion

    That’s the number.

    President Biden has cancelled $153 billion in student debt for over 4 million borrowers in spite of a GOP Supreme Court and congress trying to hurt Americans along the way

    This is a huge win

    It’s between a sexual predator with 91 criminal charges or one of the most effective presidents of the modern era

    And for some reason it’s a close race.
