Legacy media either lets Republicans lie without correction because they think it's good journalism or because they don't know the facts well enough to point them out.

Either way, if you value the truth and pro-democracy coverage, support Democracy Docket.https://bit.ly/47a0rR6

BS. They guys make up charges as they go along. These filmmakers risk life and limb filming the raids. It’s the only way to hold them accountable.These are criminal vigilantes given federal license terrorize people. If this guy films knowing the threat to himself, then, he’s a hero in my book.

Pretty impressive how people complain about high taxation in countries with universal health care when they pay tens of thousands a year to private entities without even seeing a doctor

Expansion of Trump’s “deadly counternarcotics campaign”? “Counternarcotics”? What, the hell, does that even mean?
The only word that made sense was “deadly”. Simply, killing people “allegedly” or really engaged in drug trafficking is murder. A missile to take out Two unidentified people!Two people!

I agree. A strong, unified response was needed, early on.
I was frustrated watching weak, vacillating responses as the war ground on.
I am an American. My anger is aimed at my country’s abandonment of its founding principles when our unwavering commitment should have been given to Ukraine.

AI description of your false narratives. Allegations of U.S. and CIA interference in Ukrainian elections have been part of Russian disinformation campaigns, but verifiable public reporting shows the opposite.
Russo-Ukrainian disinformation.
Again, who invaded Ukraine justifying it with lies.

"” Denazification" justification: Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed his forces were invading to "demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine" and has consistently used the Azov Brigade's past ties to far-right nationalism as a central piece of this propaganda.”

Lori K @lori321.bsky.social · 1d

“Accusations that the Azov Brigade murders Russian-speaking Ukrainians are a false narrative heavily promoted by Russian propaganda to justify its 2022 invasion. The claims are not supported by evidence and are part of a broader "denazification" pretext for the war.”
Again, who invaded Ukraine?🇺🇦

I agree and understand your point. To me, there is hope that the EU will continue to step up and address the existential threat that faces Europe and the world. My point is that in the USA, there is no hope because our president doesn’t believe in democracy and has always supported Putin.

I didn’t even read it. The amount of money being spent on ICE alone including armaments, the 2 luxury Gulf stream jets purchased for the puppy killer alone makes me skeptical about any reduction of the deficit. They are liars and will hide expenditures, not to mention their own personal graft.

Lori K @lori321.bsky.social · 1d

Note the word “should “ instead of “will”.The Republicans SHOULD honor their oath to the constitution and their responsibilities to their constituents. They SHOULD come back to DC.
Americans SHOULD stand up for democracy, the rule of law and, call for impeachment of the senile dictator-in-chief.

It’s also common sense that Trump is a criminal bent on destroying America one egregious act at a time while his collaborators loot the treasury. It would be common sense to imprison him and save the country.

NPR! WTF!
So,Trump uses the phrase “common sense“, even as everything he does makes no sense.
DJT says lots of things ..Fake news- Enemy of the people-They’re eating the dogs..cats Dem. Cities are hellholes-
Elections, courts are rigged…He won in 2020..His BS may be effective, but, it’s still BS.

Leaders of the free world? US politics is rotten to the core. Where did math teacher Epstein's money come from? How did he afford to buy a Caribbean island? He and Maxwell working for Israel’s cabal gathering blackmail data on the rich and famous? The the compromised now infecting US and UK politics

I can assure you that the only thing this money is doing is helping Argentina expand our business relationships with China. At least, that's what my soybean farm owning cousin in Argentina told me he is doing with the money: expanding exports to China.

Yeh. That’ll work.
The president of Argentina appears to be a Trump wannabe. That means that he will lie and manipulate his way through agreements and not honor any of them the end. That, while lining his own pockets at the expense of his people. Just like Trump.

Trump is never right. Again, who invaded Ukraine with the objective of taking over Kiev?
Who has sent hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers to their death to implement his perverse delusion that Ukraine, a sovereign nation, belongs to Russia. Zelenskyy is a real leader. You are the comedian.

Those “miserable cowards” are intellectual giants when compared to the “leader of the free world “. Be grateful that your leaders can speak in complete sentences and, at least, espouse the principles of democratic rule. The US is now led by a demented would-be dictator without integrity or morality.

The defense of Ukraine is the defense of Europe — European leaders have said so many times. It’s time they started acting like it.

Editorial: Europe, it’s time to finally be brave. Start with Russian assets

A few weeks ago, U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg gently berated Europe for not standing on its own two feet on the global stage and in confrontation with Russia. "I don't think the Europeans know ho...

Make sure we report that donald trump is about to sue the american taxpayer for 230 billion dollars
That's going to come out of tax payers money. But we can't get free healthcare, free child care, mental health hospitals, a system that works for immigrants to come into this country, legally
