New in PN: Trump is the insurrection

"It’s a wild assault on state sovereignty, bringing us ever closer to the brink of civil war. This is despotism, & whatever chaos & violence is about to be unleashed lies squarely on the robed shoulders of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

It took Israel exactly 15 seconds (or so) to break the supposed cease fire and bomb Gaza again.

The idea that everyone has intrinsic rights to life and liberty was a radical break with millennia of human history. It’s the moral foundation of America, Elaine Pagels writes—and it’s worth preserving.

NEW: Retribution is here

President Trump today called for the arrests of Illinois’ governor and Chicago’s mayor

And he has an AG who has proven pliant - as evidenced by the Comey arraignment minutes later

She is definitely a part of something way bigger than she could have imagined.Her greed, lies and crimes, including the most recent one which probably happened in some cahoot with one of her former mentors, yes him. She's a snake and hard for me to understand who can't see that.

President Trump said Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the initial phases of a 20-point peace plan aimed at ending their war in Gaza and bringing home Israeli hostages held in the enclave in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Here's what to know about the other elements in Trump's plan.

What Trump’s 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan Envisions

President Trump’s plan contains elements that Hamas has resisted in the past, and which may yet prove to be sticking points.

It's hard for me though, to know if it's wrong to want to see them pay for the intentional evils THEY KNOW they are doing.

It truly pushes the boundary of whatever MY "faith" is called. I just hope that any & all thoughts of punishment I can conger up, are 100X worse when their lives are over here.

people who have no conscience because they choose not to "listen". They lie, cheat, steal, kill, with no remorse because THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT..

This is where I get lost trying to explain, but it's right or wrong For A REASON! A good one.

We've always known...from birth.

And exactly why he's the sick insecure p.o.s. that he is. The thing he makes overwhelming clear though is that he's also got an inch long penis, like all the rest of his minions. It's the most dangerous problem "normal" society has, for one of "them" to get into any kind of power.

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.
