Most of the world is making a very big and dangerous mistake about Julani and the HTS regime controlling Syria. He is a Jihadist. An ideologue who has apparently convinced several intelligence services that he will play ball. Perhaps the time he was in Iraq involved some attempt to recruit him. It just doesn't work that way. He's al-Qaeda and he will never change.
I have for decades believed Hamas was victimizing Palestinians to advance Iran's and other malign actors' goals of maintaining constant conflict with Israel and the US.

If Trump abandons our Ukrainian allies and instead takes the side of a monster charged with crimes against humanity he risks being charged. His break with our allies means he can't rely on Rome Statute signatories violating their obligation to honor an ICC warrant if he travels. If Trump finally woke up to the risks that he faces that John Robert's absurd immunity decision can't remedy, he will wisely leave Putin to his fate. With Trump hemorrhaging support within his base, he can't afford to look like a traitor, especially while he allows a drunken

El Salvadore is a signatory of the Rome Treaty. Is Bukele conspiring with a non-member to violate Rome Statute? Could that be jurisdictional hook to permit @ICC to charge, Bukele, Trump, Vance, Noem, Steven Miller, Pam Bondi, @PressSec, Musk and creepy ICE guy? SCOTUS 9-0 says Trump is breaking the law and the Constitution. But they don't have the power to force him to stop. If Trump and every Cabinet head involved gets an international arrest warrant if they don't resign, that might shut Trump down. Rome Statute:

The Kremlin continues to push a false narrative about Ukrainian forces remaining in the Kursk region when Ukraine fully withdrew over two weeks ago. It's possible a few reconisance units remain but even that is unlikely. So why the big lie? My initial thought was Putin was trying to keep the Russian population engaged in his patriotic war to defend the Motherland, but I'm moving away from this propaganda motive to one of greater concern.

I've seen some recent posts that claim that Musk has used his Tesla shares as collateral in large loans to finance his other operations. If that is true, it's possible that Tesla share's slide has put him at risk of a default that could mean he loses everything in an instant. I think Tesla is now domiciled in Texas and if that is so the lenders would likely have control agreements in place with Tesla that requires them to follow the lenders' instructions in the event of a default, What we need to know is, what are the loan covenants?

The @GOP will collapse on itself when Trump reveals he's precisely who we thought he was: Putin's stooge and the enemy of democracy. Shun those who would cede US power and moral authority to a defeated degenerate Russian mass murderer. First, everyone must cut the cord and destroy @FoxNews and the other propaganda organs the cable industry forces us to subsidize. Listen to @MSNBC on @tunein until the network is free from the burden of subsidizing the corporate enemies of democracy. Prepare to cut the cord.

Everyone calls Musk the richest person in the world because it's easy to count his @tesla shares and multiply them by the share price. But that doesn't mean Musk has the most cash or that he could ever realize the cash value because, to do it, he'd have to sell shares and the price would fall. Wealth is a term that needs definition. Owning a load of land in a country like Germany might make one "wealthy" but the taxes and

HTS knows that their leader has a drone strike target pined to his tunic. His complicity with Turkey is apparent. The board is being reset. Military aircraft do no appear to be moving but yesterday and today show a large number of executive jets in the region that tells me

the players are talking but don't trust the phone. That could mean that what they are planning bad for the west. After Israel's brutal treatment of Palestinian civilians it was only a matter of time for the retaliatory blood letting to begin.

I spotted the Kremlin sock puppets during the 2016 campaign because I'd seen them while covering Ukraine. What I have seen recently on Twitter aka X is that Generative AI is being used to steer the tariff discussion. I don't have time or the will to engage so I simply block the accounts once I am relatively sure of their origin. My suspicion is that the tariff absurdity is straight out of the SVR and Trump adopted it as a condition of Elmo being the Kremlin source of cash to win the election. I think Trump is backing away from Elmo

1. I have supported a two-state solution to the conflict in #Palestine for my entire life. I agree that #Netanyahu's conduct of the war in #Gaza violated the the law of armed conduct and could support charges of #genocide. I don't believe that #Arab and 2. other #Muslim Americans' lives will be somehow improved if #Trump is elected.
Political power comes from coalitions. Working on campaigns, being reliable partners when the call comes is how my #Irish ancestors gained political power.

1. It’s been eight years since Comey dropped his October surprise. When I witnessed what he did, I knew Hillary was going to lose. Her historic negatives, closeness to election day and a massive Kremlin-run sock-puppet army combined with the fact that it dropped 2. too close to the election for Hillary to have time to recover. I began working on life under the fascist creature before the election day in 2016 and I’m still working. It's 100 hours to D-Day and this time, in sharp contrast to 2016, I have zero anxiety.

1. What's Trump's long game where he appears to have given up trying to win? Moving further to extreme right is insanity in this close race. Why would he do that? I think the facts we currently have strongly suggest he's being bribed most likely by Putin with Musk as an agent. 2. His mission is to destroy America. He showed us today what it will look like. He's preparing his brown shirts to once again take to violence. Damaged people like Mike Johnson who looks like an a Kompromat victim is going to help. But this isn't 2021.

What Trump and his big money supporters don't get is, if there's a plan to commit crimes to overturn this election & funders & others know of the illegal purpose & agree to it, all it takes is one overt act by one conspirator to trigger criminal conspiracy liability for all. Their criminal exposure doesn't await the outcome of the election and the execution of the plan. Their crimes were already committed when they agreed. It's obvious what Trump is planning. Imagine he's a bank robber who is awaiting trial for robbing a certain bank.

1. I tried to check something on the WayBack @internetarchive and Murphy's Law dictated it would be down. I wanted to see where @jontester was polling six years ago. Trump tried really hard to unseat him in 2018. He failed. 2. I have always joined lost causes. I have one religious item that I treasure. It's my St. Jude medal. The patron Saint of lost causes. I bought the day the RedSox played game 4 of the ALCS against the Yankees in 2004. I think there are MT voters out there who can be reached.

1. The GOP has already tried a blanket tariff program, one that led to the global economic collapse of the Great Depression. .

In my view, Trump's call to repeat this insanity is likely beingen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot–Haw… 2. directed by the Kremlin because Russia does not export goods and needs to destroy the Western economies to level its strategic playing field. If we are concealing Trump's communications with Putin, in my view, we are engaged in dangerous meddling in the

1. I have a @UMassAmherst undergrad political science degree but I'm clearly not competent to discuss the impact of polls with the experts. What I have is a life of political involvement that started as young child in the 1950s driving around Florissant Mo with my dad 2. while he campaigned for city counsel and police commissioner. That started a thread that leads to this election and I have some non-expert views about the state of the race. I will say it with the warning that what I learned as a child remains true:

1. What’s Trump’s long-game by making clear he’s a Nazi? First, we have known for over a decade he was a Hitler sycophant. His now-deceased former spouse informed us that the kept Hitler’s speeches as bedtime reading material. 2. But in the past few days, Trump has issued a threat to Jews that he is now saying will be blamed for his loss plus his VP pick is echoing the Nazi narrative. I think two things may we driving it.

1. I've been watching for this. Quinnipiac poll confirms Trump's advancing mental disintegration and the absurd false attacks on Haitians may have pushed the the right's ability to suspend disbelief and accept Trump as normal to the brink. 2. Turnout will be driven by Dobbs and in particular Black women in this historic election in the key states like PA and Georgia. Economic news favors Harris. As Trump tries to increase his radical base turnout he will drive the moderates away.

MAGA has begun to devour their young.

It's certainly about eating something. This is a Loomer post an hour old. Doubling down on the Trump disaster. They know this is causing people to flee the crazy train.

1. I think I know who Co-Conspirator No. 5 is any it may be why the Special Counsel delivered something secret to court on Wednesday. Conspiracies are dangerous for defendants. Evidence that would usually be kept out comes in. 2. Here is the description of Co-Conspirator No. 5 from the Superseding Indictment:

1. I was never a Mueller fan. That happens when your brother investigates someone but declines as he declined on Reagan, Bush41 and Barr. Mueller's team was made up of solid, ethical, courageous career DOJ pros. But Mueller was a GOP insider with baggage hidden from our view. 2. The truth about Trump's treason was in the NSA and CIA intercepts. We never saw them and may never see them. It's the flaw that may bring us down. A dangerous remnant of the Nixon years that, when they came crashing down, allowed people like Barr to burrow into the system
