lettruthout,

So there’s no chance that this threat could backfire? By the looks of the Israeli protest marches, not everyone in that country agrees with the current government’s heavy handed approach. Could this be a bluff?

lettruthout,

They assert that Honolulu’s lawsuit and similar actions pose a “grave threat” to “our nation’s energy infrastructure thieving capitalists.”

Fixed that for them.

lettruthout,

Right, can we next abide by the rulings of the ICC?

Workers assembling computer-driven robots and flow-forming machines at a new General Dynamics artillery ammunition factory in Mesquite…

…and…

Here, in the Pentagon’s first new major arms plant built since Russia invaded Ukraine…

So the NYT doesn’t even try to pretend that General Dynamics and the Pentagon are not the same entity.

lettruthout,

This sounds significant. Is it significant?

lettruthout,

Yeah, sometimes (most times?) that’s what happens when you hate.

He succeeded for the rich and failed for the rest of us - and future generations (increased debt, doubting climate change, etc).

…because the threat of a death penalty worked so well to eliminate the occurrence of other crimes.

My spirit animals.

lettruthout,

Well apparently a lot of people didn’t come to hear what he said, they left during the speech…

lettruthout,

I’ve only been to one that was big. It seemed like most people were still in the venue at the end, and it was slow going on way getting out.

lettruthout,

I am once again wishing Bernie was President.

lettruthout,

How about inviting some survivors from the Holocaust that Israel is currently carrying out?

How Rep. Summer Lee Cruised to Victory {The Intercept] (theintercept.com)

Summer Lee cruised to a convincing victory on Tuesday night against a well-financed opponent who had hoped Lee’s outspoken opposition to Israel’s ongoing attack on Gaza would bring the freshman congresswoman down. With most of the vote counted, Lee leads Bhavini Patel with a blowout margin. The race was a test of the...

lettruthout,

Thanks for the post and comment. This gives me a little hope for change.

lettruthout,

“Merchan said Tuesday that he will rule on the contempt charges at a later time.”

When? Punishment should have been imposed long ago.

lettruthout,

So weather, ocean levels/currents, species die-off will continue to get worse, just not as bad? This qualifies as uplifting now?

Maybe this would be better posted to c/A Boring Dystopia

Stopping a badly behaved bot the wrong way.

I host a few small low-traffic websites for local interests. I do this for free - and some of them are for a friend who died last year but didn’t want all his work to vanish. They don’t get so many views, so I was surprised when I happened to glance at munin and saw my bandwidth usage had gone up a lot....

lettruthout,

Thanks for writing this up, it’s very interesting!

lettruthout,

Gawd… Genocide happens so often, it’s codified into stages?

lettruthout,

This is just one reason why the US doesn’t have public health care.

lettruthout,

I don’t seriously doubt this, but would like to verify. Links?

Column: Jack Smith's latest push to get Donald Trump's Jan. 6 trial moving before the election (www.latimes.com)

“Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity.”

lettruthout,

And I’m still trying to figure out why that lawyer was arguing that Biden should be allowed to assassinate Trump.

lettruthout,

Yeah, apparently coordinating the “Oh no, we’re really not against abortion” message with the liar in Chief: Trump.

lettruthout,

'Should have happened months ago, but better late than never.

lettruthout,

Hmm… seems like you should thank her.

Because she participated in that protest, she got arrested, a news source wrote about it, and you got to bring up good points about how we need to take more action.

Yeah she babbles speaks about the issues, but since she’s not (yet?) an elected official, what else would you have her do?

lettruthout,

Everyone is partying denying like it’s 1999.

LA Times Column: How Jack Smith just called out Judge Aileen Cannon in the Trump classified records case (www.latimes.com)

The Smith team then made its most important and aggressive move by noting that when judges have issued clearly erroneous jury instructions that doom prosecutions, “courts have permitted the government to obtain writs of mandamus.”...

lettruthout,

Yeah, the LA Times has some pretty good writers. They consistently impress me with the thoroughness and (real) fairness of their pieces.

lettruthout,

If Biden hadn’t been so tolerant of Israel maybe this wouldn’t have happened, right?

lettruthout,

And Trump is siphoning money from down-ticket Republican candidates, right?

lettruthout,

Seems like the most logical, and humane, thing to do would be to break ties with Israel instead. South Africa is on the right side of history on this one.

lettruthout,

Yeah, they say that like it’s a bad thing?

lettruthout,

Assuming a 50% markup, he’ll only need to sell 5.8 million of them to cover the latest bond requirement.

Israeli Hostage Says She Was Sexually Assaulted and Tortured in Gaza (www.nytimes.com)

Ms. Soussana, 40, is the first Israeli to speak publicly about being sexually assaulted during captivity after the Hamas-led raid on southern Israel. In her interviews with The Times, conducted mostly in English, she provided extensive details of sexual and other violence she suffered during a 55-day ordeal....

lettruthout,

Believe whatever you want in the privacy of your own mind, but this whole conflict wouldn’t be happening if some crazy religious people hadn’t stolen lots of land in the first place, and then persecuted the remaining inhabitants.

lettruthout,

We’re guessing it will be how long before Trump violates this order?

lettruthout,

Yeah, it’s maddening. It would/will be great if it all caught up with him. Maybe once he loses the election it will all come crashing down (like is now happening for Giuliani).

Billionaires sought to help fund Trump bond in civil fraud case, sources say (gazette.com)

Some major Republican donors were working together to help U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump fund the original bond amount needed to cover his $454 million civil fraud judgment ahead of Monday’s deadline, three sources briefed on the matter told Reuters....

lettruthout,

And we can rest assured that they’re doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They’d never ask for anything in return, right? Right?

lettruthout,

Yeah, that’s something I’ve been wondering about… So Trump is arguing that Biden should be allowed to assassinate him?

lettruthout,

“I donated to help win elections, not to maintain the lifestyle of a billionaire.”

lettruthout,

The interview took place on Oct. 8 and 9, as Biden was responding to the attack on Israel. The White House has argued that Hur’s report was gratuitous and motivated by partisanship given that Trump nominated him to be a U.S. attorney. Biden’s team has also noted that he had excellent recall in several other parts of the interview, and argued that the missteps were exaggerated and cherry-picked.

lettruthout,

And once again, not operating out of a pizza parlor.

lettruthout,

And even if he was, would someone explain how paying hush money to keep an extra marital affair quiet falls under the classification of presidential acts and duties?

lettruthout,

…and “poor” meaning a net worth of less than $1 million. Or is that too low?

lettruthout,

When the choices are: 1) profit, or 2) profit

Why not do both? /s
