In an interview with @dropsitenews.com, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna was pressed by co-founder Jeremy Scahill on his position regarding Palestinian armed resistance

Renzo reposted

Everyone should watch this. Jeremy Scahill excoriates Ro Khanna's performative position in which he says Israel is committing genocide but Palestinians have no right to resistance and the Iron Dome should still be funded.

If every journalist asked lawmakers the kind of tough, evidence-based questions Jeremy Scahill and Mehdi Hasan ask, those in power would find it much harder to evade accountability. And we'd all be better off for it.

In just the past few hours, the US military reportedly launched missile attacks in Iran on an airport, a bridge, a railway substation, and a communications tower. This is why the US is trying to dismantle the ICC, because it is knowingly targeting civilian sites that could amount to war crimes.

Renzo reposted

I am shocked by how passively the American public and media are accepting the war against Iran. Today the USA have started bombing civilian infrastructures- a war crime. Where are the demonstrations demanding the end of this illegal war?

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

It's very sad to watch a subpar mind further disintegrate in real time, but it is also essential for American journalists to make clear to readers that everything the President of the United States is now saying publicly is an utter and frighteningly dementia-fueled hallucination

Checks and balances only work when you have honorable people in government. This supposes that we have an electorate that can tell the difference. Over the years, we have become a nation with a high percentage of sheep that can't distinguish between a border collie and a wolf. 😒

... The second is the antitrust laws. The same idea was behind the antitrust laws, restricting power, and control. Right now we have an unholy alliance between power in government, corruption in government, and corruption in the corporate media that is threatening our democracy. ...

I had thought that watching these clowns twist themselves into pretzels defending Dear Leader's capitulation would be darkly amusing, but it isn't, really. It's a sad, rather pathetic indictment of our current trajectory.

For the record: I would MUCH rather send 300 billion to rebuild Iran, which we attacked for no reason, than for us to send another fucking dime to Israel. In fact, Israel got us into this fakakta mess. It should be paying at least as much in reparations to Iran too.

The irony has never been louder. “The world will be safe” as if the US didn’t blow up a school with two hundred young girls a few months ago in Iran. Fucking tyrant.

I know I keep saying this but, fuck. Politics aside.. The President of the United States is a complete and utter embarrassment. I have never seen such cringe and uncouth behavior in my entire life. Fullstop, what the fuck are we doing America?

Renzo reposted

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

Republicans can’t let Obama go because his excellence makes them feel their own inadequacy. They use vulgar putdowns to pretend they are better than someone, but deep down they know it’s not true.

I've been saying that forever. You cannot be a billionaire and also be a good person. It is impossible (unless you inherited every penny from a dead relative).

As spectacular as it will be the day he is gone, and that cannot happen soon enough, there will remain the residual and the constant reminder of the people who supported, defended, encouraged, welcomed, covered for and voted for – this. That’s unfortunate. Money can’t buy class.

...and fuck literally any person who goes on his stupid podcast for his stupid listeners. That shitty grin on his face never wavers. and PS: Fuck anyone who calls out Kamala Harris for not having gone on his dumb ass show.

So, to sum it up, the president made a claim, and the reporter he made the claim to simply asked what his evidence was for that claim, and he proceeded to meltdown into a tantrum and stomped away pouting.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Most reporters are hand-picked to flatter him, not challenge him. Ask a real question, and you're finished — banished, blacklisted, exiled. The billionaires will make sure of it, snapping up the network before the door hits you on the way out. There's always a billionaire to buy the silence.

Why are we not more upset/angry about SCOTUS 86ing the Voting Rights Act yesterday? In a single illegal, immoral, poorly argued (Alito) decision they have disenfranchised Black, Brown and Indigenous voters. This should enrage all of us and have us determined to fight this as best we can.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

This country will never recover from this incompetent fascistic takeover. The government is run by morally bankrupt moronic imbeciles.
