I have never seen media pressing the opposition for pointing out failures of the government.
It is literally the job description.
Cochrane is even bringing up arguments I hadn’t heard from the government in its own defence. Truly remarkable.
David Cochrane presses CPC trade critic Adam Chambers on 'full-blown' recession claims: "You're the only group calling it a full-blown recession. Part of being a credible steward of the economy as a government in waiting is to properly analyze, assess, and define what is happening in the economy."
Not how we expected this to end
It does not change the leap this team took this year
Our young core took us on a wild ride and will make us live amazing feelings for the next decade+
This offseason we will make critical additions
Already excited for next season! #GoHabsGo
The U.S. stands firmly with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to restore its authority and build a better future for all its people. Hizballah's threats of violence and overthrow will not be allowed to succeed. The era in which a terrorist group held an entire nation hostage is coming to an end.
There is something really ironic about someone from Hezbollah telling any other Lebanese, let alone the President, that he takes a unilateral decision decision comcerning Lebanon’s fate given that his party aka militia have driven the Lebanese people in multiple unwanted wars.
Hezbollah's Political Council member Mahmoud Qomati to President Joseph Aoun regarding negotiations with Israel:
“On what grounds are you bypassing a key pillar of the state Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri? And by what right do you take a unilateral decision concerning Lebanon’s fate, in violation of national unity, the constitution, laws, as well as dignity, honor, and the blood and sacrifices of the martyrs.”
"Geography has made us neighbors, history has made us friends, economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies"

Direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon began today (Tuesday) in Washington.
With Israel’s ambassador, Yechiel Leiter (@yechielleiter), and Lebanon’s ambassador, in the presence of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio (@SecRubio).
These are the first talks of their kind since the agreement signed between Israel, Lebanon, and Syria in 1993 following Operation Accountability.
🇱🇧 Lebanese TV host Walid Abboud delivers a strong message to Hezbollah:
“You and your weapons, your drones, your rockets, your loudspeakers, your flags, your Supreme Leader, your Iran and your ‘Axis’, enough!
Get out of our lives.
Your ‘divine party’ planted weapons and drones all over Lebanon while claiming it was our salvation. In reality, it brought us nothing but destruction, death, and economic ruin.
We no longer see you as resistance.
All we hear is the noise of guns and smell the scent of death.
Your weapons have become a prison, not a shield.
Enough kidnapping our dreams. Enough killing our children. Enough holding us and the whole country hostage.
Get out. We want to live in peace.”
This is raw frustration from many Lebanese who are done with Hezbollah dragging the country into endless wars in the name of “resistance.”
The anger is growing louder.
