How long will it be before Dubya endorses Kamala Harris for US President in 2024?

Something I heard Glenn Greenwald muse about yesterday.

I have a feeling it won't be long.

As far as I'm concerned, George W Bush (aka Dubya) and his regime were far more destructive to this country than Biden, Trump, and Obama combined - and by a very wide margin.

  • Dubya and his crew stole the 2000 US Presidential Election.
  • Dubya and his crew failed to protect this country on 09/11/2001 even when they had knowledge of an attack coming. ~3000 people were killed as a result.
    •  And let's not forget that this was used as an excuse to implement the Patriot Act, which in turn (among other things) introduced a warrantless spying program, as well as a torture program as part of the 'war on terror'.
  • Dubya and his crew then turned around and invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq as a way to defect attention away from their above failures. The war in Iraq alone is probably the biggest debacle in American history.
  • Dubya and his crew failed to protect New Orleans when they had knowledge that Hurricane Katrina was coming. Many people lost their lives.

Of course there are many many other things - but those are the really big terrible ones. And he along with his cronies (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell Rice, Ashcroft, etc) never faced any accountability for their crimes.

Now the people involved with that regime (like Bill Kristol - the idiot who convinced John McCain to pick Sarah Palin as VP in 2008), are all now backing Kamala Harris.

No thanks.


A trial that all eyes and ears in the US should pay attention to.

Even in stalwart capitalist countries - coups are possible.

Case in point  - France.

Hmm, I wonder why?

French President Emmanuel Macron has finally nominated a new Prime Minister. However, his choice is not someone from the New Popular Front (NFP), the left-progressive alliance that won the most seats in the recent snap election. Instead, Macron opted for Michel Barnier, a conservative former EU official and Brexit negotiator, igniting yet more anger among left and progressive circles in France.

What part of the word genocide is not understood?

It's destroying an entire group of people.

And that's what Israel is seeking to do in the land they've stolen from the Palestinians.

Well what do people say about shit like this -

Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories, said in a statement that "there is mounting evidence that no Palestinian is safe under Israel's unfettered control."

"The writing is on the wall, and we cannot continue to ignore it," said Albanese, who released a detailed report in May concluding that there are "reasonable grounds to believe" Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza.

Albanese's new statement came as the Israeli military's largest assault on the West Bank in decades continued into its second week. At least 29 Palestinians have been killed during the series of military raids, according toAl Jazeera, including at least five children.

"Apartheid Israel is targeting Gaza and the West Bank simultaneously, as part of an overall process of elimination, replacement, and territorial expansion," Albanese said Tuesday. "The longstanding impunity granted to Israel is enabling the de-Palestinization of the occupied territory, leaving Palestinians at the mercy of the forces pursuing their elimination as a national group."

 

'Unburdened' indeed.

A democracy's true measure is the collective achievements it successfully delivers for all.

Any other system that touts symbolism - or anything else otherwise - serves only a few.

From the 'I can't believe people are doing this shit' list.
