The Interupt complains about propaganda then delivers it by the truckload.



It’s not exactly AOC’s GND. It all was part of a white paper which she used. Obama used parts of it, as well as Biden.





Giuliani’s no-show prevents courtroom confrontation with Georgia election workers
Giuliani was a no-show at a federal court hearing in the duo’s defamation lawsuit, prompting a lashing for his attorney by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who had ordered Giuliani to be present.

What did he do, just sit around staring at the gold bars and petting them or using them to get a stiffy? Why couldn’t he charter a private plane, fly to the Bahamas, put them in a safe deposit box and visit them every few months? Sort of conjugal visits…

Fetterman is back on his ass now. Paid Santos for a special message for Bob.





I have never liked Bibi, but there is no sense in just having a thread which only dumps on him in short bursts the way this one probably will.

I saw this today.

That’s Hamas in a caved in tunnel trying to treat a comrade. They’re talking about blood.

When you see such things, it is a tell that the end to the conflict is near.







I’ve seen the secondary explosions of Hamas tunnels hit right next to the Gaza hospital. I’ve seen Hamas reports of commanders dieing from Israeli bombs near Rahfa. Maybe what the author calls “wonton targeting” isn’t exactly true all the time. Maybe he’s confused about where Hamas likes to hang out. Maybe he doesn’t understand that the US forced Israel to turn up Gaza’s internet yesterday. Since he doesn’t understand the geopolitics, probably doesn’t understand that either.


Hamas wanted to start a regional war, and didn’t think that the US would have a musclur response. But the US did, and for now the cork is in the Lebanon bottle. Now geniuses like this think that’s the wrong way to go.


All this really does is trigger a vote in two days. The sponsor can withdraw the bill at that time or demand a House vote. It’ll give MTG a moment of pause because she has much more to lose, Committee assignments, etc.




Palestine against Israel and Hamas

Ive not heard Palestinians of Gaza say bad things about Hamas.




I have varied taste. I like to follow news reporters for one.i simply find one I like and see who he or she follows and start from there. Bluesky, though doesn’t have my needed blues music and geology feeds that Twitter has.


I find Bluesky to be a nice clean interface but without the variety of users that xTwitter has or had.


Punchbowl News: “It seems completely possible that not a single Republican will be able to win the speakership with GOP votes only. Remember, McCarthy was booted from the job by just eight defectors.”

“In fact, the strongest speaker candidate right now is House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who will have all 212 Democratic votes.”

Key thing to watch: “Some GOP lawmakers will start considering forming a coalition leadership structure with Democrats. This will be unpalatable to a huge number of Republicans


So while Ukraine relies on the US, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Italy, France, the UK…

Russia relies on… checks notes Iran and the DPRK







You really need to put a logic line between your thoughts and see if you connect things. Don’t try to make things uneccsaily complicated.



This sort of implies Ukraine is an apartheid state carelessly starving and stealing from Russians for decades.

If that’s your take I think you’re trying too hard,


Hamas hates everyone even Palestinians. Who knows why they harbor them, but they do.


The same thing that happened to Israel happened to Ukraine. Russians have slaughtered whole towns in Ukraine. Zelensky is simply being empathetic.



You can take a walk through history and see oppressor and oppressed in every era. A common thread is when people are oppressed by internal forces they either revolt and take power or simply live with the oppression. Even the attempt to revolt is important.

Gaza has a two fold problem. First they ruled by Hamas who don’t give a shit about them. Plenty of Palestinians hate Hamas, but not enough to make a difference. Secondly, they are oppressed by Israel due to Hamas.

They can either live with this or revolt. They’ve chosen to live with it.




That’s funny, because Hamas denies Israel’s right to exist and have said that publicly. Which was the twist in my original comment.



There are still over a hundred hostages. Crank down on Gaza…no electricity, etc…and you’ll eventually get some intel on where they are at. It’s war, and they put themselves in this position.






Joint Statement on Israel- US, UK, France, Italy, Germany
lock
Today, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America released the following joint statement following their call:  Today, we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism.   We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for terrorism.  In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.   Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.   All of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike. But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.   Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.  https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/10/09/joint-statement-on-israel/

In 2020, Trump’s DOJ issued a binding legal opinion that impeachment inquiries are invalid without an official vote of the House.
