I don't think that's a fair assessment. I don't just criticize Trump, I criticize him and his entire administration, as opposed to grifters who only know how to say "Orange cheetoh man bad"
I was also just in London covering the #Assange extradition hearing, which is being relentlessly pursued by the Trump administration. You can watch countless hours of my reporting here: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Absolutely sickening. Western evil knows no limits. Australian and UK special forces (SAS) have been committing war crimes for decades in Afghanistan and no one is ever prosecuted. These murderous thugs have no business being there.
The poor man they killed in the video is named Dad Mohammad. He was around 25/26 years old. The war criminals in this video need to be named, shamed and tried for war crimes.

.@YouTube @YouTubeCreators is censoring my report on Israeli soldiers choking an elderly Palestinian man Khairi Hanoun in the same way George Floyd was killed in a knee-hold by police.

YouTube restricts videos like this and Collateral Murder to cover for US & Israeli war crimes. Image
The report in question.
Khairi Hanoun is 60 years old. He was peacefully protesting against further illegal annexations before IOF choked him.

1. A British appeals court has overturned a July ruling which recognized the US-backed puppet Guaido as Venezuela's interim president.

The Bank of England used this ruling by the High Court to steal $1.8bn of Venezuelan gold.
2. The appeal court couldn't reach a final decision and is sending the case back to the High Court to ascertain who the UK recognizes as Venezuela's leader (and to whom the gold belongs).

While today's ruling appears positive, pay attention to the following points 128 and 129:
3. The appeal court advises the High Court to seek counsel from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on this issue. This of course means only one thing: the FCO will advise the High Court not to recognize Maduro and recognize Guaido instead, who they've been helping to prop up.

Just wrapped up the panel. That was a crucially important and detailed discussion on the inner workings of the #Assange extradition hearing by journalists who covered the case.

Big thank you to @kgosztola and @jlpassarelli for hosting this. Image

Day 15 of the #Assange extradition hearing. Live updates in this thread:

(Apologies, I was prevented from following the court proceedings this morning).
Court returns from lunch.

Joel Sickler continues his testimony from this morning. Sickler is an expert on US prisons with 40 years of experience in corrections and sentencing. #AssangeTrial
Some key points from Sickler’s morning testimony:

-He firmly believes #Assange will be thrown in ad-seg (solitary) at ADC or the “X-unit
-Limited interaction and communication with other prisoners. None if placed under SAMs

Day 14 of the Julian #Assange extradition hearing begins at the Old Bailey.

Live updates in this thread:
First witness to testify is computer forensics expert Patrick Eller.

Prosecution sent him its bundle in the middle of the night (typical). Judge gives the defense an hour for Eller to go through the documents. #AssangeTrial
While we wait, watch a full video summary of Day 12 & 13 #AssangeTrial
