Justice Merchan called #Trump’s lawyer to a sidebar to say Trump was “cursing audibly” & possibly intimidating Daniels... “I understand your client is upset at this pt, but he is cursing audibly & shaking his head visually & that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness & the jury can see that...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don’t want to embarrass him. You need to speak to him. I won’t tolerate that.” #TrumpTrial https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/07/stormy-daniels-testimony-trump-hush-money-trial/
@GottaLaff He doesn't play by the same rules. Why do people insist on treating him fairly? Just throw him to jail for a month, no phone, no communication, let him experience no first ammendment!
Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian, warned as early as in the 1990s that the Israeli educational system was producing a different kind of Zionists. Israeli children are socialized into hating and dehumanizing their Arab & Palestinians neighbors. It explains why the majority of Israelis are not even troubled by the perpetual brutality against Palestinians. @palestine#gaza
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to provide immediate, unhindered delivery of aid to Gaza as part of new provisional measures issued in a genocide case brought by South Africa.
In an interview on Israeli television, former Mossad official Rami Igra said all Palestinians in Gaza over the age of 4 are “involved” and deserve to face Israel’s collective punishment policy of withholding food and humanitarian aid.
In a PLOT TWIST, the JAXA lunar lander, SLIM, has survived the lunar night (which is bloody cold and was expected to irrevocably freeze all circuits).
SLIM is a technology demonstration, designed to test tech for touching down with pinpoint (<100m) accurate at a target site. The mission achieved this in spades, with estimated accuracy of ~3-4m, although tipped due to the loss of one of the main engines.
SLIM carries 1 science instrument, which it's used but... I guess will now use some more!
Tweet from the SLIM mission team account reading: Communication with #SLIM was terminated after a short time, as it was still lunar midday and the temperature of the communication equipment was very high. Preparations are being made to resume operations when instrument temperatures have sufficiently cooled. #GoodAfterMoon#JAXA
@Sherifazuhur@palestine@israel I'm pretty sure it won't be called war if Israelis were the victims of anhilation. The proof is right there in everyone's face, they just refuse to aknowledge it!
Again, you morons, I will take #Biden, even if so old he literally has to be propped up on the podium with wooden strings, over insufferable nepo-babies Jared and Ivanka running the country and the world again.
