'Straightforward dictatorship': CNN panel thrashes Trump's 'total immunity' claims

After reading Trump's Thursday Truth Social post where he said that he deserved complete immunity even if he "crossed the line" into illegal behavior, host Phil Mattingly suggested that Trump was telegraphing that he was "going to do some criming" if reelected.

He then turned to panelist Errol Louis, who outlined the dark implications of Trump's argument:

"It's a pretty straightforward statement of what dictatorship is, right? he said. "A president -- in his case he is talking about himself -- should be able to, must be able to legally do with legal impunity do whatever it is he or she wants."

UN records 142 cases of Russia summarily executing Ukrainian civilians

Russia's suspected violations in Ukraine include 142 summary executions of Ukrainian civilians in occupied territories by Russian troops since the start of the full-scale invasion, UN human rights chief Volker Turk said on Dec. 19.

The numbers that the UN regularly provides on casualties of Russia's war against Ukraine include only cases that could be safely verified, and actual figures are most likely higher.

Fuller picture emerges of the 13 federal executions at the end of Trump’s presidency

A day before the federal government executed a Texas man for the killing of an Iowa couple when he was 18, celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz pleaded with then-President Donald Trump — a former client — to call the execution off.

During a Dec. 9, 2020, call to the White House, Dershowitz told Trump that Brandon Bernard, at 40, wasn’t the man he was when Todd and Stacie Bagley were killed in 1999 and that he deserved to have his sentence commuted to life in prison.

Trump sounded sincere when he said he wished he could spare Bernard’s life, but he added apologetically that he’d already promised the victims’ relatives that Bernard would be put to death, Dershowitz said about the 20-minute call.

“‘They’re on their way. They’re on their way,’” Trump kept saying, Dershowitz recalled. The relatives, Trump explained, were on the road to the prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, where federal executions are carried out and it was “‘too late to pull them back.’”

Bernard was executed the next day. ...

Editorial: Today's Russia is fascist. It’s time to start calling it that

“We went and killed everyone. There were women, men, seniors, and children.”

These were the words of Azamat Uldarov, an ex-fighter of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group who personally admitted to shooting dead a five or six-year-old girl, speaking to Russian independent outlet Gulagu.net. Uldarov, together with ex-Wagner commander Aleksei Savichev, both described being given and carrying out orders to “clean” entire buildings or areas in Donetsk Oblast of civilians by murdering them all.

The confessions came out on the back of a video of Russian troops, later reported as also belonging to Wagner, beheading a Ukrainian prisoner-of-war with a knife.

No, this is not a fever dream, this is fascist Russia in 2023.

The Jewish #colonizers knew they needed an #imperial patron to succeed and survive.
Their first patron was #Britain, which sent 100,000 troops to crush the #Palestinian revolt of the 1930s and armed and trained Jewish #militias known as the #Haganah.
The #savage #repression of that revolt included wholesale #executions and aerial #bombardment and left 10% of the adult male Arab population killed, wounded, imprisoned or exiled.

PETITION: Boris Johnson: condemn the mass execution in Saudi Arabia

On Saturday 12 March, Mohammed bin Salman oversaw the execution of 81 men in the largest mass #execution in the country’s #history.
Instead of condemning this brutal and shocking act, #BorisJohnson visited #SaudiArabia - and shook hands with Mohammed bin Salman. Our Prime Minister’s visit virtually guaranteed more #executions would take place. Three people were executed on the day of Boris Johnson’s visit and four more people were killed the day after.
You can sign the petition here.

Boris Johnson: cancel your trip to Saudi Arabia and condemn the killings
