Anyway here are 15 people who no one voted for who are accountable only to NYT shareholders acting as holy arbiters of Seriousness

WaPo again runs an editorial lamenting the rise of polio in Pakistan and the mistrust among the population of aid workers without noting the role the CIA had in creating that mistrust by creating a fake vaccine program to track bin Laden washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
In lieu of the most glaring and logical explanation as to why people in Pakistan dont trust aid workers (that aid workers were used as a ruse to give bogus vaccines by the CIA) WaPo continues to traffic in orientalist cliches about "thugs" and "ignorance" fair.org/home/action-al…
elements blamed by WaPo for polio resurgence in Pakistan

"political instability"
"population mobility"
"violence driven by intolerance"
"hardline Islamist forces"
"social media"
"ignorance"

Never mentioned:

CIA scheme that gave ppl incomplete vaccines theguardian.com/world/2011/jul…

This is simply false. The myth that the US stands for “rule of law” is a racist self-delusion. In addition to illegal invasions of Vietnam, Laos, Iraq etc the US hasn’t ratified the ICC, ban on cluster munitions, Law of the Sea Treaty, Kyoto Protocol, Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, etc
The US passed a law right before we unilaterally invaded and destroyed Iraq that said if any American is ever arrested by the ICC the president is required to invade The Hague and free them npr.org/templates/stor…
The US’s closest ally Israel is not a party to:

The Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)
Biological & Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC)
Intl Criminal Court (ICC)
Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM)
Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)

the writer here, Stephen Hadley, makes $305K/yr as a director at Raytheon, which built the Multi-Spectral Targeting System for the MQ-9 Reaper drone that killed Soleimani. None of this is disclosed in his "drones actually open the door for diplomacy" take. washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-s…
he is merely said by WaPo to be "a national security adviser during the George W. Bush administration". Hum. whats he been up to since? It may be relevant to his column insisting the US remain in Iraq forever.
Hadley is also a principle at RiceHadleyGates whose clients include ExxonMobil which has significant oil interest in Iraq and very much needs the US military to stay and protect its operation. markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/ne…

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

One viral image being shared on social media used a bit of reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family rather than the #Biden family. #GreatWhiteHunter

A viral image being shared on social media uses reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family with its #GreatWhiteHunter sons rather than the #Biden family with its "great white" son, Hunter.
politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
#HunterBiden was a senior VP for financial services giant #MBNA — an arrangement that drew criticism during the 2008 elections for potential conflict of interests.
As senator, #JoeBiden spearheaded legislation that would have affected MBNA’s business. cnbc.com/2014/05/13/bid… #DNC

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!
