Not that our political journalists bothered to notice, but the Hur report on Biden documents was nothing like what they reported.

The bottom line: Biden was innocent.

"Or as former Attorney General Bill Barr and his former boss would have put it, a total vindication (but here, for real)."

The big story should be that a Republican prosecutor didn’t find grounds to charge Biden and inserted gratuitous commentary that aligns with GOP talking-points during an election year in an attempt to influence the outcome. That should really be a huge scandal. #Election2024 #biden #trump

The path to truly equal opportunity begins with a level playing field. Unconditional #BasicIncome provides this, ensuring every individual can meet their basic Maslow's pyramid needs. It's not a silver bullet for all societal ills - but it is an essential part of the solution.

Okay, I think I'll start out today's thread of #Climate news with a question for y'all.

Do you know what causes this pile of ice beneath this boiler exhaust at a ski area lodge?

Dear Congressional Republicans:

Being in the pro-Putin caucus today will age about as well as being in the pro-Hitler caucus in 1938.

Choose wisely.

A ruling from the Hawaii Supreme Court this week found the Second Amendment does not override “the spirit of Aloha” — a local principle that prioritizes the “life force” of Hawaii resident residents and reasserts a historic claim the state’s high court said supersedes “a free-wheeling right to carry guns in public [that] degrades other constitutional rights.”

Joe Biden is so old that Donald Trump says he needs immunity to assassinate Americans

MY NEW PIECE ON CNN:

Congress already disqualified Trump from ballot.

Majorities of BOTH houses of Congress found, after a full trial, that Trump INCITED AN INSURRECTION.

When was this, you ask? In the 2nd impeachment.

SCOTUS should defer to Congress's conclusion.

Joe Biden found govt docs and returned them.

Mike Pence found govt docs and returned them.

Donald Trump stole govt docs, refused to return them, lied about what he had, moved them to hide them from authorities, evaded subpoenas, showed them off, and covered up what he did.

All things considered, I would recommend against having any of your posts get more than about 200 boosts. That seems to be when they have enough escape velocity that the replies get just exponentially asinine.

So, you know, try to be less clever.

This is a shining example of why the top level post should have primacy: to enable features like "require approval for replies from non-followers".

There are multiple American journalists imprisoned in Russia for carrying out the real job of being a journalist. And while they are wrongfully detained on decades long prison sentences, Tucker Carlson offers The Kremlin to interview Vladimir Putin, ask the questions Putin wants to hear, and branding this as “journalism” to the American people.

And Elon Musk is hosting it, trying to make money on Putin’s propaganda.

I really hope these two shameless grifters experience a serious case of karma.

flexghost, 4 months ago to random

There are talks of sanctioning Tucker Carlson for his Putin interview

While America is not directly at war with Russia, we engage in non-kinetic military action

This falls directly in line with what Tucker did during the Fox Years as well as his actions now:
social engineering
misinformation
sowing division

And remember, Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide and war crimes

Its time for Carlson and those like him to enter the "find out" stage

There will be other Dem MOC who will be inclined to agree with Sen Bernie Sanders on declining this aid package to Israel. If the money was only for humanitarian aid & efforts toward a peaceful resolution & protection, not for lethal weapons, some aimed at civilians, then the aid would likely be justified. There must be caveats attached to the aid, or the $10M aid package to Israel may go down.
