Welcomed by the Premier and thousands of #Albertans just days ago and now visiting his benefactor in Moscow. Courting #Russian assets in this country shouldn't be seen as anything but out of the ordinary. Otherwise you support 🇷🇺 It is that simple. This shouldn't be regarded as anything other than deeply disturbing. #Treason#Fascism#Putin#MAGA#Canada#DanielleSmith#CDNPoli
This is where the 25 state #Fascist trifectas test how far Biden is willing to go to defend US democracy if it comes to TX-incited violence.
Will the rest of the nation support him in this?
The #ChristoFascist Texans have been supported by Putin. (Medvedev's X account was used to post a long entry supporting TX succession / treason while chiding Biden for not doing anything about the "border crisis.")
These #Texas#traitors don't seem to be aware that the #Constitution explicitly prohibits member states from leaving the union. There is no legal mechanism for Texas to declare its independence from the #UnitedStates. So, what we're talking about is armed rebellion, and criminal charges for those who participate. These people are all about law & order until abiding by the law is inconvenient to their desires. Then, they're freedom fighters. 🙄
“Iran-backed” groups in #Syria and #Iraq claimed the drone strike that killed US troops. Let's be clear, it is #Iran which took over areas of those countries and enabled that situation in the first place.
All roads relating to terrorism eventually lead to Tehran or Moscow. Always.
ISIS continues to thrive in the Badia desert west of the Euphrates because instead defeating ISIS #Russia chose to keep an ISIS incubator to continue to destabilize Syria's majority Sunni areas and to enable #Iran to attack us forces in the anti-ISIS coalition across the river.
The #Iran-backed militia groups' social media accounts have been silent for hours after Kataib Hezbollah announced the suspension of its military operations against U.S. forces in Iraq.
This shows that Kataib Hezbollah number 1 responsible for every rocket and projectile fired in Iraq and Syria, with the approval of the IRGC and Iran, of course.
"If the fools in the #HouseGOP#treason caucus dare to impeach #AliMayorkas he should demand that Trump be subpoenaed to be questioned on his political motives in blocking the Senate bill. If the GOPoversight wants political theater, let's give them some.
Under oath and in the place where the leader of the insurrection sent a mob to overthrow the Constitution and become a dictator. And desecrate the People's House. And let @RepRaskin have at him for the longest day of his life. #SenSchumer#MoscowMitch McConnell #PressSec
#Abbott’s accusation that the federal government has breached the #Constitution by having “broken the compact between the United States and the States” is almost identical to South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of #secession.
Furthermore, Abbott espouses the fringe theory of constitutional law known as “compact theory,” popularized by #Confederate states during the #CivilWar era and supported by Confederate President #JeffersonDavis.
Today in Labor History January 25, 1787: Daniel Shays and 800 followers marched to Springfield, Massachusetts to seize the Federal arsenal during Shays’ Rebellion. The Massachusetts State militia ultimately defeated them. They were trying to end the imprisonment of farmers for debts, confiscation of their lands and other attempts by the wealthy to make the poor pay for the Revolutionary War. The authorities convicted and hanged many of Shays’ followers for treason. Shays, himself, fled to Vermont. He eventually won a pardon. The U.S. Constitution, written in the wake of Shays’ rebellion, was designed in part to prevent other similar uprisings by the common people against slave owners, bankers, landlords and businessmen.
Today in Labor History January 17, 1536: Francois Rabelais was absolved of apostasy by Pope Paul III and allowed to resume his medical practice. Rabelais was a physician, writer, Catholic monk and Greek scholar. He published “Pantagruel” in 1532. He later incorporated it into his larger work, “Gargantua and Pantagruel,” which satirized the nobility, the church, the legal system, explorers, machismo and pretty much all that was sacred to the French ruling elite. Consequently, he was persecuted much of his life. His last will stated: “I have nothing. I owe a great deal. The rest I leave to the poor.”
One of my favorite passages: The FURREED Law-Cats are most terrible and dreadful monsters; they devour little children, and trample over marble stones. Pray tell me, noble topers, do they not deserve to have their snouts slit? The hair of their hides doesn’t grow outward, but inwards… They have claws so very strong, long, and sharp that nothing can get from ‘em what is once fast between their clutches... Among ‘em reigns the sixth essence; by the means of which they gripe all, devour all, burn all, draw all, hang all, quarter all, behead all, murder all, imprison all, waste all and ruin all, without the least notice of right and wrong; for among them vice is called virtue; wickedness, piety; treason, loyalty; robbery, justice. Plunder is their motto, and all this they do because they dare; their authority is sovereign and irrefragable.
“A child is a fire to be lit, not a vase to be filled” –Rabelais
Today in Labor History January 13, 1898: Émile Zola's J'accuse…! exposed the Dreyfus affair. The scandal began in 1894 when the state convicted Captain Alfred Dreyfus of treason. He was a 35-year-old French artillery officer of Jewish descent, falsely convicted for espionage and imprisoned in Devil’s Island in French Guiana. Émile Zola’s open letter “J’Accuse” helped build a movement of support for Dreyfus, putting pressure on the government to reopen the case. In 1899, Dreyfus was returned to France, retried and convicted again, but was pardoned and released.
Emile Zola was French novelist, journalist, playwright. He was an important part of the literary school of naturalism. He was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prizes in Literature in 1901 and 1902. He published over 30 works, the most well-known being “Germinal,” about a coal miners’ strike in northern France in the 1860s. He influenced many modern writers like Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, and Truman Capote. “Germinal” influenced my novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill.”
Aid for Ukraine is driving the anti-democratic, voter-suppressing, disenfranchising, gerrymandering, lying, freeloading & rebelling Trump far right nuts, because its serving not only the preservation & further development of Ukrainian democracy, but the free world's democracy.
"For Trump and his allies, Kyiv’s comic actor turned wartime hero is a mortal enemy far more dangerous than Hunter Biden [or] Liz Cheney. Zelensky’s integrity and self-sacrifice are antithetical to Trump’s disdain for public purpose. Trump does not even feign any interest other than private interest. Of course, aid to Ukraine is in trouble—it is a defense of democracy in which the Trumpian far right no longer believes."
It's always been clear. This account of European Commissioner Thierry Breton just reconfirms it:
Trump is serving Putin!
"...
"You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you," Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also present at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO," Trump also said, according to Breton. "And he added, ‘and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn’t pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense,'" Breton said about the tense meeting, where the EU's then-trade chief Phil Hogan was also present.
