Peering into the Corrupt Court’s Pretensions and Corruption
Gift link.
There were so many things that happened yesterday in the Supreme Court’s hearing on presidential immunity that it’s hard to know where to start. But one part that captured it for me was Sam Alito’s line of argument that presidential immunity might be necessary to make it possible for presidents to leave office voluntarily, or that not having some broad grant of immunity would make refusal to leave office more likely.

Biden is really showing where he stands on this, he exposed his BS lies about 2 state solution by vetoing Palestinian membership at UN, His drones are flying over Iraq and Syria and now this.
A Second Trump Presidency Would Be A Nightmare Scenario For Transgender People
Authored by former Trump officials and dozens of right-wing organizations including the Heritage Foundation, nearly every page of Project 2025 details policies that would impact LGBTQ+ people — and there’s a particular focus on transgender people. On the very first page of the manifesto, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts laments the “corruption” of the country “under the ruling and cultural elite” whose children “suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries.”

Stonekettle Station - No Safety
I almost hit the Like/Favorite button on this until he made the comment about giving 'em Texas. It would more appropriate to make that offer to the Israelis--Palestinians are indigenous to the area so he might as well offer Texas to our own Native Americans if it weren't for the fact that the Trail of Tears gave them Oklahoma first. Europeans have no license to dispatch indigenous Palestinians to anywhere else; Europeans can damn well go back to Europe.

I also hear people say cut off arms to Israel - our only ally in the region. Then what? Bibi will be gone someday, hopefully soon. He is as hard to flush as Trump. I am sure many in Israel feel about him the way I did about trump. When he is gone the people of Israel will want our help. If it was up to me, I'd offer the Palestinians Texas. My hear breaks for them and I believe Biden is doing what he can in a very difficult spot. #USPol
And a heart-felt "Fuck you" to everyone who told me in 2016 that I was overreacting. Yes, that's a meme. I don't care. I feel it in my bones. I cried the night they called that election for Trump. I cried myself to sleep.
"I told you so" is too gentle, too subtle.

Since when were liberals exclusively in charge of zoning anywhere, hm? Wot rot.
Dems have a different immigration problem and Talib is their voice, so they'd best think it over 4 or 5 times before badmouthing her. When you take in refugee immigrants from the Middle East and they're here long enough to become naturalized citizens, they're gonna care how you bend your knee to AIPAC.

Draining the (housing) pool:"many Democrats are making the politics of immigration more toxic without any help from Trump’s GOP: By suppressing housing construction through restrictive zoning laws... If liberals want their country to be more welcoming of immigrants, they need to make their cities’ housing stock more accommodating of newcomers."

“I have a difficult time understanding again how anyone else in the future is going to want to be on that negotiating team — on anything — if we are going to be against it.”-Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Well stated. So, why can't Sen. Murkowski understand that the GOP will never again have any interest in governing at all? Why won't she and Liz Cheney stop propping up a revolutionary fascist group, and start the hard work of building a new conservative party?

Hot take: If there was a Venn diagram of those who are fear mongering about declining fertility rates and those who wish to keep capitalism going even if it means environmental destruction it would be almost a perfect circle. #uspol #nzpol #NZTwits

I wish people would say "Trump" when they mean Trump, and not 'funny' euphemisms like "Cheeto Dick," "Orangeface McDiaperpants," "Big Donny Doodooface Poopy Bad Man", etc.
I realize politics in 2024 are incredibly stupid, but some people are trying to filter him out of their feed for peace of mind. This makes it an ongoing game of whack-a-mole.

Israel already put out a warning to Jordanian citizens to vacate, so there's that.

"Netanyahu wants to solve what he thinks is the demographic problem of Israel":The number of Palestinians in West Bank, Gaza, & Israel itself "is equal to the number of Israeli Jewish people."
He wants to annex Gaza, then initiate ethnic cleansing for Palestinians in the West Bank.
"That’s why the king of Jordan is so shocked about these plans, because he knows that he’s coming next. After they finish with Gaza, they will move to the West Bank"

#TLDR: Cornel West left the #PeoplesParty to join the #GreenParty, then abandoned the Greens to jump into bed with #MAGA maniac Harlan Crow. West's new campaign manager is Marianne Williamson's old campaign manager Peter Daou, who actually had a pretty good album out back in 1990 but hasn't accomplished much since then. Over and out, y'all ;-) #Politics #USPol #Vote2024

"The Palestinian Authority is a burden, & Hamas is an asset"said the Israeli Finance Minister in 2015, lamenting the Palestinian Authority's then diplomatic success & the "international delegitimization” of Israel.
Hamas is "a terrorist organization, no one will recognize it, no one will give it status at the ICC, no one will let it put forth a resolution at the U.N.," he said of Israel’s need to counter the diplomatic successes of the PA.

If You Want To Be Friends, Then Why Aren’t You Friendly?
It’s a very common lament: that there is no civility left these days, as compared to earlier days, and the main reason appears to be that those on the “left” refuse to be friends with those on the “right,” shunning them simply because of their political views.
