The government is run by greedy, corrupt bastards that couldn't care less if you and your family starve. They just want power long enough to make out like bandits.
Marco Rubio knew the Islamabad negotiations were a hoax
He stayed ringside in Miami and let JD Vance take the fall
He’s not a Secretary of State, he’s a clever mafia wiseguy
All of these “historic” wins but what is the content or true significance of that history when the Black or brown person has functionally the same politics as their white counterparts? We should see the hollowness of facile representation by now.
🇺🇦 Remember the woman medic who exposed the Azov torture site in Kiev?
She has been detained and put on trail without bail for 60 days. Her crime? Causing damage to Ukraine's public image.
Not a single coverage from @CNN@BBCWorld. The EU? Nothing either.
I just asked sports minister @PascaleStOnge_
who is pushing to bar 🇷🇺 & Belarusian
athletes from sports competitions whether she felt the same way about US athletes after they invaded Iraq? Or 🇨🇦 athletes after bombing Libya. Or apartheid 🇮🇱 athletes? She smirked & walked away
The Democrats may have taken control of the House and the Senate, they may have humiliated Donald Trump and the Republican Party, but the real fight is only beginning. It is not simply a battle to hold the corrupt Trump regime to account, something that can only be done if the Democrats are willing overcome their reluctance to carry out impeachment proceedings against the president. It is also a battle to sweep away the corporate-indentured hierarchy of the Democratic Party, including Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
The Democratic Party since the presidency of Bill Clinton, who gave us the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the greatest betrayal of the working class since the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, and gutted New Deal-era welfare programs such as the Aid to Families with Dependent Children, is a more polished version of corporate and oligarchic rule, abjectly subservient to the war machine, the Israel lobby and their funders in the billionaire class.
The country is broken. Corruption, in both parties, is endemic. Federal agencies have been hollowed out and destroyed. The courts, including the Supreme Court, have been handed over to right-wing ideologues. The working class is crippled with debt peonage and substandard wages. Constitutional norms and protections have been erased. Billionaires, including Trump, pay little to no income tax. The 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which allows big business to fund their hand-picked candidates, sustains a system of legalized bribery.
The public may clamor for a raise in the minimum wage, Medicare for All, regulation of the big banks and private equity firms, an end to arms shipments to Israel and campaign finance reform, but no one in the leadership of the Democratic Party listens or cares. They serve their paymasters.
Will cutthroat capitalism, sold to us under the sanitized name of neoliberalism, be allowed to continue to impoverish the citizenry and funnel wealth upwards into the hands of the 1 percent? Will corporations be regulated and policed? Will corporate criminals be brought to trial? Will our democracy be restored? Or will the grotesque sight of a trillionaire, Elon Musk, gutting federal agencies and pouring hundreds of millions into elections to try and control the outcome be normalized?
The handful of politicians who attempt to confront the corruption and the devastation visited on the American working class through deindustrialization and deregulation, such as Bernie Sanders, see their campaigns sabotaged by the Democratic Party leadership, including Barack Obama.
We must demand that progressive candidates, including Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed and Maine’s Troy Jackson, build coalitions to oust the Democratic Party leadership, raise the minimum wage, enact universal health care, prosecute corporate crime and impeach Trump. It will be up to us.
The Democratic Party hierarchy will see the results not as a repudiation of Trump, but an endorsement of the flaccid and ineffectual position of a party that stands for little and fights for less. This would be yet another betrayal by the Democrats of voters. It would keep alive the very real prospect of another fascist, one better organized and more intelligent, taking the White House in two years.
Of course, this fight will mean not only jettisoning a corrupt Democratic Party leadership, but turning on the mega-donors, lobbyists and corporations that fund and control the Democratic Party.
The effort to wrest the party back from the hands of corporations and oligarchs will be vicious and difficult. It will require us to rely on the power of mass movements to sever these bonds. Nothing else will work.
If we fail, our anemic democracy will not be saved by these midterm elections, but doomed.
“Election seasons are reality-creation festivals, during which the two corporate parties pretend to put forward different visions of the national and global destiny. When, in fact, they answer to the same master and must pursue the same general strategy.” -Glen Ford
The woman in this video rushing over to silence the guy calling Haley Stevens a “traitor” is Abby Ronson. She is a registered foreign agent for Israel and the spokesperson for Mike Rogers. This tells you everything that you need to know: Haley Stevens and Mike Rogers are both traitors who put the interests of Israel over the United States.
🚨🔥El diputado polaco Grzegorz Braun, retiró la bandera de la UE frente al edificio gubernamental Y LE ECHÓ CANDELA 🇪🇺🔥
Afirmó que Polonia no exhibiría los símbolos de lo que llamó una organización oscura.
"Esto es Polonia, no Bruselas". 👏👏👏🔥
I think it’s awesome that people raised $200k for Walt, the Red Baron worker who was harassed by a dumb prankster.
But what nobody’s talking about is how his company was sold to a Korean conglomerate — which then cut pay, gutted benefits, and forced unpaid mandatory overtime.
Wow!
Canadian journalist asks Moshe Feiglin, a former Likud Member of Knesset, if he is concerned about Israel's plummeting global standing.
Feiglin's response is chilling, as it reveals the fundamental supremacist view he and many in Israel hold.
He says that the real moral supreme court is in Israel, ie with the people of Israel.
The Bible says, he explains, that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed. As a result, it's we - Israelis - who get to judge you, rather than you judging us.
And then he adds?
"Are you with the children of God or not?"
JARED KUSHNER IS MOSSAD 🇮🇱
Dutch intelligence confirmed it.
But… this is NOT new information. It was already revealed in the Epstein Files.
The FBI already knew this.
A leaked FBI report [I’ll post it in the replies] revealed that Epstein (and Alan Dershowitz) was Mossad, with Epstein personally trained as a spy by the ex-Prime Minister of Israel.
And they RECRUITED the Kushner family.
This includes Josh Kutcher who Trump exploited his power as president to get him ownership of the Lakers.
Trump also exploited his power to pardon the family for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal donations.
Jared now controls a multi-billion dollar, highly connected, fund used to exploit and extract from the Middle East.
This is one of the largest crime families in the world.
