After the US insurance giant AIG helped tank the American economy in 2008 with its reckless gambling and accounting frauds, the chairman of AIG, Maurice Greenberg, filed a $55 billion lawsuit against the federal government for not giving him a big enough bailout -- and won.

Bro you just said saying establishment is a racial slur and that we can't tax the rich. If you weren't being propped up by Republican billionaires that want tax breaks for their data centers you wouldn't even have a campaign.

This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history.

there are currently Kurds, including women, being beheaded and massacred by Jolani regime death-squads, and there's actual video footage of it so it's verifiable. But zero mention of this in the NYT, BBC, Guardian, Reuters, AP, who are all busy with their Iran atrocity propaganda op "OMG THIS PAHLAVIST ARYAN NATIONALIST NAZI TOLD ME THERE WERE 5 MILLION GAZILLION BLINDED TODDLERS".

Jolani is now one of the "good ones", so his mass murdering beheading rape gangs are Freedom Fighters™ now, and this is one of the perks. No more media war against you by CIA-NED fronts and assets at the NYT, BBC and Guardian.

Of course all those pseudo-radicals who laundered Jolani are quiet too. You can behead and massacre and rape whoever you want, as long as you're on Our Side. Like with the Azov Nazis that all the Owen Jones' and George Monbiots love.

For a law enforcement agency to make a declaration like this without investigation of the incident is the clearest example of fascism.

These scum don't care about the murder of citizens, they don't investigate. This is what causes a nation to collapse. Utter disregard for truth

A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now.

It is clear that with this ceasefire Western governments and media want us all to let bygones be bygones.

Never. Israel committed a genocide, we all witnessed the most obscene violence it is possible to imagine, and we need to see the perpetrators locked up in The Hague.

This is quite remarkable: several Western non-partisan studies have found that people in China are generally happier with their political system and government than people in the West.

Here’s a summary of three key studies:

• A study published by the Alliance of Democracies finds that perceptions of democracy in China are higher than in the US, the UK, and France.

• A study published by Harvard’s Ash Center finds that Chinese citizens rate the government as more capable and effective than ever before.

• A study published in the journal Political Psychology finds that there is only one country where citizens generally say the system they live in is fair — and that country is China.

This is not to say that China’s political system is perfect — it could arguably benefit from greater political pluralism and a lower degree of censorship.

But what this does tell us is this: the notion that China’s political system is less legitimate, less fair, or more out of touch with the public compared to Western political systems is complete nonsense.

ANDOR writer Dan Gilroy has released a statement critiquing the Trump administration and commenting on the parallels between the show and Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

“As one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week.

Donald Trump’s tools of governance, coercion and intimidation, have found focus on Hollywood. Faced with a social media firestorm, fear, and an FCC head threatening “they can do this the easy way or hard way,” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for speaking his mind. I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision. If you believe otherwise, wait until fate knocks on your door and demands you choose between conscience and hardship — because if you work in this industry that day is coming.

The suspension bought time, but not much. Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmel’s contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught. There’s not much at stake, just free speech, the oxygen that sustains life in this town.

Trump’s aim is to control what we make and say. The concept seems far off and abstract. Neither is true. Is it hard to conjure a new oversight office or cabinet seat? Is it difficult to picture Trump toadies deplaning at LAX with binders of banned topics and mandated alternatives? You’ll meet them when you have to pitch for approval or get grilled about subversive co-workers.
Regardless of how the jack-booted attack on Jimmy Kimmel is resolved, this isn’t a skirmish. It’s a siege. The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most. The fact this isn’t new doesn’t diminish the shock of the last few days. The majority in Hollywood believed their job was entertainment — the bolder souls attempted to inject theme and commentary — but for everyone this has suddenly become Westworld real.

Whether you’re reading this on line at Blue Bottle or killing time before your 3 o’clock Zoom or staring at a glowing screen unable to sleep, we have all become characters in a story where our actions carry actual weight and consequence. Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it.

Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.”

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

The single best thing about being an American is the first amendment. We will never tolerate your censorship.

We aren't going to sit by and let this fascist administration silence us. FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL.
