English in Greece, #LFC fan, apolitical. Love Europe, sailing and Scotch. At my core is a deep and abiding belief in the Rule of Law, whether I like the law or not.
No DMs, no money requests, no guns, no porn, no apologists for Israel.

If Russia was more powerful and had demolished almost every single building in Ukraine, every single one, would the world not have been outraged? Yes. Of course. So...why is the same reaction not applied to Israel's demolition of Gaza?
Shame, on all of our leaders, for allowing this to happen.

The *other* weird thing about the NYT is that it covers Europe like “maaaan, Europe, huh? Soooo fucked up right now… wouldn’t wanna live there, am I right?”

Trump wanted investigations into everyone but him.
Turns out he is the most mentioned name in Epstein’s own emails.
At this point they read more like Trump files than Epstein files.
Regardless, Release The Files‼️

"Trump has continued to file mandatory disclosures about his investments but that neither he nor his family has a role in running the portfolio, which is managed by a third-party financial institution."
Well that's okay then, I was a bit worried for a minute or two.

Trump buys at least $82 million in bonds since late August, disclosures show
Trump's new bond investments span several industries, including sectors that have already benefited, or are benefiting, from his administration's policy changes such as financial deregulation.

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance.
Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

It's clear that the US DOJ is now just Trump's personal lawfare operation. He directs what they do, which is either pursuing vendettas against his enemies or raising fake investigations to prevent evidence being published. The USA is a failed state.

Trump's megalomania is reaching the point where he sues entities that can afford the legal fees involved in fighting their case.
Bad move Trump, stick to fighting those who can't afford to defend themselves.

Right wing fascists would have us believe that hatred of Netanyahu and his government is antisemitic. It isn't, any more than hatred of Trump and his catch-farts is hatred of all Americans. Evil should be called out wherever it appears.
