Bernie is RIGHT -there is a dictatorship in #China & #Cuba AND also to remind that the US has helped overthrow governments in #Chile and #Guatemala.

Biden is WRONG: Obama and four previous US presidents supported the authoritarian regime of #Mubarak in #Egypt

#DemocraticDebate
Give it to him, Bernie!

There is NOTHING radical about wanting healthcare for everyone!

#DemocraticDebate
Want to talk who supports dictators & authoritarians?

Trump calls Sisi “my favourite dictator” & was in #India today encouraging fascism.

5 US presidents -GOP & Democrat- propped up Mubarak’s 30yr tyranny.
US has “good” & “bad” dictators #demdebates2020

Living rent-free in the misogynist ruins of their minds: when you’re the anti-racist feminist that racist misogynist shits hate but can’t stop thinking about.

@rerutled found this.
The guy seems to be European (?)

For the longest time feminists from the Middle East would be called “the Egyptian Simone de Beauvoir” etc

So I’m like fuck-yeah to a European feminist being called “the German Mona Eltahawy.”
And here’s my sentiment on that

This idea popped into my head this evening and it’s been such a gift and I’ve been scribbling away - yes with pen on paper - and it’s exciting me.

I wasn’t looking for it. It just appeared and said “HELLO WRITE ME NOW!”

So I am.
I seem to have conjured it by recalling the first time I heard Holiday by Madonna (on a school bus in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 1983).

And it turned into pages and pages on Umm Kalthoum, Swedish House Mafia, Nina Simone, The White Stripes, and Abdel-Hakim Hafez.
When I was 4 or 5, I would fall asleep only by having a radio next to me. I’ve always loved music - especially pop. I have zero snobbishness when it comes to pop. I love Umm Kalthoum and Nina Simone, yes, but I’m right there with pop stuff too.

And it wants to be written

Siri what is Sharia but for Christians?

“Religion, Barr argued, limits government ‘by cultivating internal moral values in the people,” as opposed to “utopian” and hubristic secular programs.’”

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/ag-b…
“The nation’s chief law enforcement officer went on to address religion, bemoaning how faith has been removed from the public discourse over the past few decades.”
For the millionth time: this is why I call these white Evangelicals the Christian Brotherhood.

They want what the Muslim Brotherhood wanted one #Egypt and elsewhere: politicized religion.

The Muslim Brotherhood are called political Islam. Barr et al are political Christianity.

#China's total exports in 2018 were $2.65 trillion, of which approximately $477 billion went to the #USA, $441 billion went to the #EU, and $157 billion to #Japan. Add #SouthKorea and #India, and that is over 50% of Chinese exports.
China's strong economy depends on the good will of a handful of governments. Gradually increasing tariffs (or economic sanctions) on Chinese imports in these and other like-minded countries and the EU, if linked to demands for: 1) human rights improvements in #HongKong, ...

@kbq225 @RogTallbloke Poor #ChuckTodd gets flummoxed when his “works on everyone else” dismissals of serious thinking fails with #AntiWarmongering Senator #PaulRand’s exposure of the flaming hypocrisy of Democrat lynch mob impeachers.

@kbq225 @RogTallbloke In May, CNN reported that Senators #Menendez, #Durbin, & #Leahy wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, #Lutsenko, expressing concern that the closing of four investigations involving #tRump may affect their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine.

THE UNRAVELING OF AN ARROGANT IGNORAMUS

It had to happen sooner or later.

It is surprising it didn’t arrive sooner considering the extent of the ignorance & arrogance involved. The bluff of an evil buffoon is being called.

And Trump has no one to blame but himself...
THE UNRAVELING OF AN ARROGANT IGNORAMUS

Trump lost against #Venezuela.

He is losing against #Iran. He will lose against #China & #Russia.

And he will lose against #Cuba, #Nicaragua & #Bolivia.

And lose again because of his support of the murderous #Saudis.
THE UNRAVELING OF AN ARROGANT IGNORAMUS

Trump is an egotistical thug 100% more interested in his reputation than any lives lost.

For Trump it’s all “worth it” in the infamous words of Madeleine Albright.

No. of lives lost is irrelevant to Trump as long as his ego stays intact.
