Whether or not Hillary Clinton would have won if people had known about the hush money payments is a very big "if." If we want to find out if people would have changed their minds over this, we have to talk to people. But Trump has formed such a cult that I suspect most people would not have changed their votes over this. In their minds, the media is the enemy of the people and reports that Trump made hush money payments would have been confirmation. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/14/2235127/-So-Hillary-Clinton-Was-Cheated?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

If Donald Trump were the President right now, he would be golfing right in the middle of such an international crisis as the current one between #Israel and #Iran. Or #Russia invading #Ukraine back in 2022. https://www.politicususa.com/2024/04/14/trump-trial-middle-east.html

We all condemn Iran's launching of 300 missiles towards Israel, most of which were shot down by the US, UK, Israel, and Jordan. But we have to understand Israel's game here. Israel launched an attack on an Iranian embassy in #Syria, which is an act of war. Netanyahu is just as much of a chaos agent as Iran is. He must go. https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2024/04/14/iran-strike-israel/

Donald Trump, at his recent rally in #Pennsylvania, just endorsed the "Genocide Joe" chants that have been coming from so-called leftists. He said the quiet part out loud. Many such people are really closet Trump supporters. In fact, Joe Biden is one of the few people who has leverage over Netanyahu and who is actually trying to prevent a conflict from spreading. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/14/2235097/-The-Donald-s-rally-in-PA-We-re-ready-to-be-a-failed-nation-as-he-makes-more-stuff-up?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

#Biden told Netanyahu that the US would not support any offensive operations by #Israel on #iran and that they should take the win. To his credit, Biden will not be dragged into a full scale war between those two countries.

Donald #Trump says that the cases against him could have been brought three years ago. Except he has been stalling all this time to prevent these cases from going to trial at all.

New rules by the #Biden Administration could cut air pollution, especially in Cancer Alley. Democrats govern.

In 1959, there was an uproar in #Alabama and other segregationist circles about The Rabbits Wedding, about a black rabbit and a white rabbit who got married. Written by the same author who drew pictures for Charlotte's Web and Little House on the Prairie, it struck too close to home. Now, it has been turned into a play. Piss off a Republican -- place the book in your local library and attend the play. #Books #Theatre https://eugeneweekly.com/2024/04/11/very-little-theatre-offers-an-unusual-view-of-segregation/
