Exactly this… acting like baseball match reporters not political commentators nor journalists. Trump is a con man, a liar, a rapist, impeached as a president, an insurrectionist and a megalomaniac psychopath. He is dangerous and should never ever be allowed near public office again. Tell it like it is.

Britain used to have the most polluted beaches in the EU, because UK sewage is led via channels directly into the sea.

Fortunately, UK politicians have now solved the problem… by leaving the EU, so the country does now show up in environmental statistics.

But the problem is now even worse in the UK.

And as I learned last year it is all due to the privatization of this sector. Profit before public health and safety. All due to the neoliberal politics that were introduced.
We see it also in the Netherlands that this is introducing undesired behavior and effects. E.g. In the decrease of service in public transport and even the energy sector. Some functions are simply better off in the public sector. But that takes a truely social and democratic governamental view…

Anyone who read the Time article about their interviews with Trump had best read the transcript to understand just how bad it is. The article doesn't do his plans for tyranny justice. And then, please put aside your complaints about Biden and just vote. Our future depends on it.

Sanders slams Netanyahu over his calling US student protesters "antisemitic mobs” & accusing them of physically attacking Jewish students & faculty.

"No, Mr Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that..your extremist govt has killed 34,000 Palestinians & wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children"

Do not try "to distract us from the immoral & illegal war policies of your extremist & racist government"

How Israel Secretly Propped Up Hamas - The New York Times

With actions like there and the settlers policies supported by his far right government, Netanyahu has done the damage that lead to the current disaster. High time he resigned.

A separate Palestine state is needed and nothing else. Without the Islamist rule of Hamas, that simply will suppress its Palestine citizens.

The House swiftly approved $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of political turmoil over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion.

With overwhelming support, the $61 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of U.S. support to the war-torn ally.

Timothy Snyder | FRONTLINE

Timothy Snyder is a professor of history at Yale University. He is the author of The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America.

How it already went wrong in the 90s:

"I think it’s better to say that democracy is a better system than it is to say that it’s inevitable, because once you say that it’s inevitable, you’re forgetting all the things that you have to do or struggle for in order for democracy to come into being"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/20/us-house-approves-61bn-aid-ukraine

Before the vote, the former Democratic speaker, Nancy Pelosi, made a stridently graphic appeal: “I hope our colleagues will choose democracy and decency rather than autocracy and evil because I fear if you choose the Putin route, you will have blood on your hands, blood of the children, blood of their mothers raped in front of their parents, raped in front of their children,” she said.
Half of GOP did not…never forget. They have blood on their hands.

The online world was meant to be an open system but has become dominated by huge corporations. If we are to revive it, that must end.

Interestion point of view. It starts in my opinion with using open source solutions.
And also with governments adapting to and adopting the same.

Myself, I have been using Mosaic, Netscape and Firefox, and up to now, never needed anything else. Same for social media. Use open source.

Ex-KGB Agent Says Trump Has Been a Russian Asset Since 1987 and Was Very Easily Manipulated

https://www.politicalflare.com/2023/09/ex-kgb-agent-says-trump-has-been-a-russian-asset-since-1987-and-was-very-easily-manipulated/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

This:

The KGB manipulated Trump with simple flattery. “In terms of his personality, the guy is not a complicated cookie,” he said, “his most important characteristics being low intellect coupled with hyperinflated vanity. This makes him a dream for an experienced recruiter.”

Trump is a Russian asset, we can see it in his actions.

The self-destructive chaos in GOP needs to stop. The vote today shows that around half of them still show some reason. And that is what you need to govern a country.
The alternative is unmanageable... and even dangerous.
