#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 government must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Hunter Biden was a drug addict when he purchased a firearm.

The defense will argue 11 days of sobriety following rehab.

I've never witnessed a more feeble prosecutor brining such vague charges against a private citizen.

Big show of family support on the 1st day of ’s trial.

In addition to ’ statement, Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, his sister Ashley Biden, his friend Kevin Morris, Peter Neal, who is married to Hunter’s daughter Naomi, & Dr. are in attendance.

President will be in Wilmington, DL, w/no appearances scheduled. But he has given no indication that he would be in the courthouse — a possibility that would require considerable security arrangements.

“My daughter’s been given a 2nd chance,” said one prospective juror who was not chosen for the panel, but like many others said his experience watching a family member struggle w/drugs would not prevent him from judging Hunter Biden fairly. “Everyone deserves a 2nd chance.”

#POTUS #Biden addressed #Trump’s #conviction & said “the American principle that no one is above the #law was reaffirmed.”
“The #justice system should be respected, & we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that,” Biden said.
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous & it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the #verdict,” Biden asserted. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, & it literally is the cornerstone of #America.”

The reassessment is a byproduct of Russia’s renewed cross-border assault on #Kharkiv, a chorus of pressure from #EU ofcls & a visit to Kyiv by Secy of State #Blinken that reinforced the peril facing Ukraine….

    Aggressive regimes like the Russian one are rapidly increasing their appetite for aggression. When they succeed in one part of the world, it creates problems in many other places: aggression spreads if not stopped.

    The world has weapons to oppose Russian terror, and we in Ukraine need this help.Timely and sufficient support from partners. Steady, unchanging support for our soldiers. More modern air defense systems, including Patriots, and the ability to destroy Russian terrorists so that they cannot approach our borders, solutions that will help protect lives and prevent the spread of war.

    Thank you to everyone in the world who understands this and supports Ukraine.

    Putin's war of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians has continued full scale for the third year. Putin's army openly murders Ukrainians. We must stop Putin's genocide. Yesterday, Russian barbarians launched dozens of missiles and bombs on Civilians, killing many, including children. Arm Ukraine now. Nato into .

    An absolute collapse of the legitimacy of the supreme court. Now the rule of law is what fascist (theocrat aka religious autocrats aka nazis) say it is.

    Americans know there is no immunity from prosecution for crimes of former #potus.
    Americans know it is wrong to deny women healthcare by order of the state.
    Americans know that an insurrectionist can not hold office.

    First, they turned the flag upside down, and then they turned the rule of law upside down. -SkyKiss
