"'Propaganda is not education,' says ex US secretary of state, slamming campus activists for ignorance of Palestinians' rejection of husband Bill Clinton's 2000 peace initiative.'
#Clinton, #Ohio: National Weather Service: #TORNADO WARNING in this area until 11:00 PM EDT. Take shelter now in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Check media. Source: NWS Wilmington OH
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
#Pecker was asked if Bill & Hillary #Clinton's names came up. Pecker said when you run a magazine, you choose the topic of the week. Coverage of #HillaryClinton running for president that described #BillClinton as "a womanizer" was a big seller, he said. "I was running the Hillary Clinton stories, I was running Hillary as an enabler for Bill Clinton, w/respect to all the womanizing."
During the historic gathering of 3 #UnitedStates presidents last night, pro- #Palestinian protesters interrupted the event. Again, instead of ignoring their protestations, the presidents addressed the concerns.
All 3 men remarked on the #Israel#Hamas#war in #Gaza, reflecting on the difficulty of trying to solve intractable challenges such as #MiddleEast#peace as #POTUS. #Biden said there have been “too many innocent victims, Israeli & Palestinian,” in the conflict.
That poll, however, had #Trump leading #Biden by 30% points on economic issues.
During Thur's moderated discussion, Colbert asked #Clinton what he would say to voters who do not feel like the #economy is strong. Clinton answered that the 2008 recession & Covid are still affecting voters & that Trump did not sustain #EconomicGrowth spurred by #Obama. Biden & VP #KamalaHarris have methodically "put Humpty Dumpty back together again," Clinton said.
#Clinton mocked #Trump for taking credit for #Democrats’ accomplishments. “I listened to him tell us how terrible the American #economy was all during 2016, & then, by Jan 2017, after the inauguration, it had become wonderful, miraculously, overnight.”
Clinton said the economy started improving under #Obama & then Biden inherited "a mess" left by Trump.
"All of a sudden, Joe Biden comes along & creates roughly twice as many jobs…I believe in keeping score.… He's been good for America."
I'm so old I remember Republicans pushing out a completely made-up story about pres Clinton holding up air traffic at LAX so he could get a $500 haircut and the media fell for it and much of the public still believes it was true.
“There comes a point,” Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote in 1949, “where this court should not be ignorant as judges of what we know as men.”
The #SupremeCourt’s decision on Wed to schedule arguments in April to consider #Trump’s argument that he is #immune from prosecution seemed colored by the lack of that #perspective.
People who had been rooting for #SCOTUS to reject Trump’s appeal entirely, whether by denying review of or summarily affirming an appeals court ruling against #Trump, misunderstand the [this] court’s conception of its own #power & #importance. The justices seem to think that decisions of such #constitutional significance, as in broadly similar cases concerning claims of #immunity from Presidents #Nixon & #Clinton, ought to be settled by the nation’s highest court.
#PoliticalCartoons are great. One of my favorite mediums out there. They can help us take the pulse of the moment in a lot of ways.
At this moment one thing they're missing is that in all their coverage of #Putin and #Putin and #Trump is that Putin is, at his core, a weak, cowardly and altogether incompetent jack ass.
They get the murderous despot and manipulator of weak minded fools right. But they miss you bigger picture of WHY Putin behaves as he does.
#Putin didn't just want #Trump as an asset because Trump was manipulatable.
He likely didn't even think Trump could beat #Hillary in 2016.
He wanted Trump to create chaos and distrust to destabilize President Hillary #Clinton BECAUSE HE WAS TERRIFIED OF HER and because he was convinced she was behind a plot to depose him BY COUP.
