It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

He was "itching" for a war, he got one, aided by other man babies who have defied the U.S. and International rule of law. The words unacceptable and evil are insufficient.

Netanyahu moves forward with plans to annex all of Gaza. “Culture Minister Miki Zohar, of the ruling Likud party, says Gaza belongs to Israel, and that Palestinians in the territory are 'guests' whom Israel is merely allowing to live there for now” but may well expel.
Culture minister says ‘Gaza is ours,’ Palestinians are ‘guests until a certain point’

The BEYOND SHIT mainstream US media will pretty much ignore Smith’s deposition… just like they ignore all of the criminal orange rapist moron fraud’s criminality.
Jack Smith’s deposition is out. Trump is a criminal. Why are republicans afraid to stop him from his daily crime spree against the American people?

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Trump isn’t loyal to his base or the Republican Party. He’s loyal to Trump. His goal is to keep his name in the headlines and monetize it for as long as possible. Anyone who expected him to deliver on promises misunderstood who he’s always been.

For too long, techbros have been raping California tax dollars. It is long past time that they pay back. Our tax dollars made it possible for them to become wealthy. Now PAY IT BACK YOU FUCKING LEECHES
California just proposed a 5% billionaire wealth tax, and crypto builders are not happy.
The big issue is that the tax would include unrealized gains. That means founders, investors, and long-term crypto holders could owe tax on assets they haven't sold and may not have cash to cover.

He did it.
That's what Jack Smith said, and Gym Jordan tried to burry it. But they're so incompetent to keep anything concealed, that it got out... he did it. He tried to destroy America. He is the "scum" he always screams the Left would be.

Via NPR ~ Hundreds of celebrities have relaunched a committee to defend free speech that was first formed during the post-World War II Red Scare. It’s spearheaded Jane Fonda, whose father, Henry Fonda, stood against the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era.

Trump cutting US aid has killed more Christian Nigerians than anyone else ever could. And if we don’t stop him, it will get even more deadly.
He was never about protecting Christians. He was never about justice. He was always about white supremacy and oil. youtube.com/shorts/q5OeE...

YES: Residents of Takoma Park, Maryland, noticed ICE cars lurking every day in a parking lot. So they showed up early to occupy the space, with coffee, music, conversation, and knitting... not leaving ICE a single parking space. ICE stopped coming.😊👍

In a 231 to 195 vote on Thursday afternoon, the House passed the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would nullify Trump’s orders in March and August to exempt workers at dozens of agencies from collective bargaining rights.

Let’s be real, the DOJ isn’t going to prosecute itself. That’s why Congress is talking about using its own authority to step in using its own constitutional powers to enforce accountability.
