With Gaetz stepping back from his AG nomination, Trump has lost his clone of Stalin’s Beria.

Beria, it is said, would offer flowers to the fathers of the underage daughters he abused upon returning them at the gates of Lubyanka (which could be anywhere, btw).

If the flowers were accepted, all good.

If refused, the resistor would be arrested…

So is ‘cunt’.

@br00t4c

‘Arbeit macht frei,’ wasn’t it?

@pluralistic

The battles outnumber us; this is an excellent snapshot of one that’s key to the rest of them.

My feeling on the US election is this:

Kamala browbeating the undecided or calling out Trump’s various lunacies is preaching to the choir.

He can deflect all of it just by lying.

But…

If she can make America laugh—at him—he’s a dead man walking.

He’ll have no answer that won’t expose his desperation and lame-ass vapidity.

Voters love saying yes to a strong (or funny) person and no to a loser.

They’re in that kind of mood.

She needs to tap it.

IDF:

“We are not done in Gaza.

“We will not stop until every last Hamas man, woman, child, infant, disabled and elderly person is dead.

“Hamas must be wiped out.

If that means every Gazan must die, so be it.”

“But others support Netanyahu's strategy of maintaining relentless military pressure on Hamas, the militant group behind the Oct. 7 attack into Israel that triggered the war.”

Just don’t expect Canada’s #CBC to tell you they are hardline far-right Jewish religious extremists (akin to backcountry Afrikaners farmers) opposed by millions of Israelis themselves.

That Israel’s foundation and sustenance has rested and rests upon the support of three of the most historically racist nations on earth—the United States, Great Britain and (formerly Nazi) Germany—tells you all you need to know.

@micchiato

When you need to exterminate a bunch of Arabs, this is just the thing.

Israel is a racist apartheid state, as remains USA.

I wrote this to someone today and it kind of encapsulates my take on life:

The trees have been a comfort to me as well. They remind us the world is what it is, and to expect it to change to conform to our wishes and dreams, however valid they may be, is a conceit of our own. Buddhism tells us to look within, to look at who is doing the looking, and to see that both the cause of our suffering and the pain it brings are externalities to that inner point of…

You know, it occurred to me today there’s very likely a certain class of German citizen—not the government or mainstream media, I’d not go that far at this point—who from the shadows will be saying, aloud where he feels safe:

“Let the Jews hang themselves. Keep the support, funding and arms flowing, by all means! When they’ve finished with Gaza and the crime is finally exposed and recognized, they’ll know how it feels...”

@adspar

‘Since 1948, the US has provided more than $141 billion in weapons to the Israeli government to fund the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, including $17.9 billion since October. Netanyahu’s apartheid regime has already slaughtered over 39,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 15,000 children.’

A useful reminder. Undisputed facts.

I remarked earlier today to someone that while he’s too old now, James Earl Jones was another guy I thought big and tough and storied enough in his prime to crush Trump (Arnold Swartzenegger first came to mind—he hates Putin and can’t think much of DT).

Kamala is up to the job.

This will be the bout of the century.

2. Disenfranchised Americans see themselves in his persona.

However false and contrived it may be, his adopted persona has roots in the same earth as so many rightly angry people, the left-behind: he’s white, hardscrabble, and best of all, a fighter and survivor of their generation.

He is the Horatio Alger hero Trump needs on display, the promise. The ‘this-could-be-you’ if you get on my train.

This is what a stiff-looking old man is up against.

#Biden #trump #uspol #cdnpoli

Vance’s youth boost is not so much about him being next in line. It’s about his simply looking ready, rendering Trump’s outrageousness less a concern. There’s a ‘normal’ back-up, a successor; forget the brakes. Vance is playing a long game himself—content and humbly sly at present, his eye on the 2028 prize; he is a bright, lethal, strategically-minded opportunist.

2/3

#buden #trump #uspol #cdnpoli

So, I promised no more doubts re Biden.

He’s our man and that’s reality and I’m a realist and there’s a whole administrative heap of nonsensical state-level red tape that’d have to be cleared to update the ballots or something—whatever.

I can stick to that.

But, I would like to add to the conversation on why Vance is such a MASTERSTROKE for the Trump campaign (points likely made elsewhere; one can’t read everything).

Two key themes:

1. He’s young.

'Holocaust Inversion' (noun):

1. Committing genocide as a matter of 'security' while instrumentalizing the Holocaust as a shield against investigation & criticism.

2. The reversal of Germany's role as persecutor in a genocide to enabler and contributor as a former victim-nation pursues a genocidal campaign of its own.

3. An accusation leveled by an extremist state against any critic while engaged in (1) above; see also: 'antisemitism' in this context.

They got this right: “Ukraine’s future is in NATO”

Next up, one hopes, is “the future is now.”

Preview of Trump’s America here.

He won’t understand why he can’t do precisely the same, America being ‘free’ and all…

He belongs in prison, not in a comfortable cell in The Hague with a television, but in Russia — in the same type of colony and the same 2- by 3-meter cell in which he killed Alexei.”’

Spot on.
