Senator Lindsey Graham promises to destroy the UK economy if we arrest Netanyahu
Isn’t it brilliant having allies like the US?
| Laura and Normal Island News Nov 25, 2024 Prime Minister Starmer has confirmed the UK both would and would not arrest wanted fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu if he ever visited the UK. This is because we respect international law, but we do not deal with hypotheticals, okay? You would think the prime minister’s fence-sitting would get him off the hook here, but sadly not. US senator Lindsey Graham has promised to destroy our economy if we arrest Netanyahu. In fact, he said the Trump administration would destroy our economy even faster than they will destroy their own economy. |
Letters from an American
November 24, 2024
| Heather Cox Richardson Nov 25, 2024 Since the night of the November 5, election, Trump and his allies have insisted that he won what Trump called “an unprecedented and powerful mandate.” But as the numbers have continued to come in, it’s clear that such a declaration is both an attempt to encourage donations— fundraising emails refer to Trump’s “LANDSLIDE VICTORY”—and an attempt to create the illusion of power to push his agenda.

Trump’s Picks Are All Neocon Warhawks Ferociously Devoted to Israel

Trump’s War with Deep State Is About Increasing His Own Powers
| “Trump’s hawkish lineup is starting to look like a reunion for the worst of US interventionists. The man who said ‘no wars’ hired a cabinet that’s clearly thirsting for the next one.” —@ghida_fakhry “It’s not Trump’s pro-Israel cabinet. It’s Israel’s pseudo-American cabinet.” —Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi “Awww fuck! It’s over before it even started!” —Nick@NickJ132388 If George W. Bush was elected to a third term in office, this is what his cabinet would look like. Rubio, Waltz, Stefanik, Hegseth. Not a peacenik among them. Not an antiwar candidate among them. Not even a non-interventionist among them. Every single pick is a hard-boiled, right-wing war-hawk that is committed to marching in lockstep with the world’s most notorious pariah-state, Israel. |
| By Uriel Araujo Global Research, November 18, 2024 Much is being talked about how US newly elected President Donald Trump is supposedly at war with the “Deep State” (and the intelligence apparatus) – because of the announcements made pertaining to his nomination choices for some key US government positions. While he has named “outsiders” for the post of Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and to head the Pentagon, and amazingly the CIA, he has also chosen hawkish Senator Marco Rubio to lead the Department of State |
Trump Supporters Are in for a Rude Surprise
While the rest of us need to get ready for a Trump presidency that will be far more destructive than his first.
| John Harwood Nov 20∙Paid No one knows how much Donald Trump’s second presidency will harm America’s national security, global leadership, social fabric, and material well-being. But we should expect much worse than the first time around. Two months before returning to the Oval Office, the president-elect has already inflicted fresh damage upon our country. His public pronouncements and Cabinet choices make a mockery of the government he will lead. He would place Matt Gaetz, a wildly irresponsible lawmaker who, like Trump, has faced investigations over sex offense allegations, atop the Department of Justice; Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host bearing tattoos associated with Christian extremism who has also faced a sex assault allegation, in charge of the vast, diverse Department of Defense; Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman who shares Trump’s suspicious affinity for the interests of Russia, as director of National Intelligence; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a conspiracist crank at war with medical expertise, as overseer of the public health system. Sean Duffy, another Fox host who, like Trump, once hosted a reality TV show (it was called “Road Rules”), would run the Department of Transportation. The former host of the Dr. Oz show, Mehmet Oz, would superintend the giant Medicare and Medicaid programs. |
‚Con Artist,‘ ‚Sore Loser,‘ ‚Saudi’s Bitch‘: How Trump’s Own Cabinet Picks Have Described Their New Boss
You don’t need liberals to tell you how bad Trump is – here’s what 9 members of his own administration-in-waiting have said, from Rubio to Musk to RFK Jr. and more.
 Mehdi Hasan Nov 18, 2024Abraham Lincoln famously wanted a “team of rivals” around his Cabinet table. Donald Trump is going a step further: Come Jan. 20, 2025, he will have a team of people who used to (still?) hate his guts; who used to mock him publicly; who used to say he was unfit for office. Today, they have rolled over for Trump; rolled over for power and access. Yet the internet never forgets. So you don’t need to listen to liberals or leftists about how bad or unqualified or extreme Trump is, and you don’t have to pretend that any and all criticism of the president-elect is the product of ‘TDS’ or ‘Trump derangement syndrome.’ |
AFTER BIDEN Will Trump break with the president’s disastrous foreign policy?
| Seymour Hersh Nov 07, 2024 AFTER BIDEN Will Trump break with the president’s disastrous foreign policy? It wasn’t close. Americans once again rejected a flawed female Democratic candidate in favor of Donald Trump, who comes to office with grievances and revenge on his mind, along with a welcome determination to end the war in Ukraine and a far less welcome commitment to continue the Biden policy of unfettered support for the murderous Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Top Dem Hakeem Jeffries Says „We Have to Take Accountability“
“We fell short,” the House Democratic leader tells John Harwood.
 John Harwood Nov 13, 2024Democratic Congressman Hakeem Jeffries had hoped the 2024 election would make him speaker of the House of Representatives. Anticipating victory, he wrote a new illustrated book, The ABCs of Democracy, which published on Tuesday. In it, Jeffries frames simply, for young readers, the virtues his party offers: American values over autocracy, benevolence over bigotry, and so on. But Jeffries‘ political adversaries, led by President-elect Donald Trump, won a clear victory last week as the electorate shifted in their direction. |

Don’t Let Democrats Whitewash What They Did on Gaza Once Trump Is in Office
During the last Trump presidency, the same people – then former Obama officials – suggested they had learned their lesson from Yemen.
| Spencer Ackerman Nov 08, 2024 In November 2018, following more than three years in which Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates turned Yemen into a slaughterhouse, a group of Barack Obama-era foreign-policy practitioners demanded an end to US support for a conscience-shocking war. Even though they were out of power, they had a mechanism to make a difference. Sen. Bernie Sanders had introduced a congressional resolution to stop US military assistance for the assault on Yemen, and it garnered significant bipartisan support in both Congressional chambers. So these former senior officials lent their voices to the cause through an open letter. Continue reading |

Holocaust Harris deserved to lose
It’s time to let centrism die and build an alternative
| Right now, I feel as enthused writing about the US election as I did about the UK election because it’s painfully obvious to every thinking person that elections don’t matter. While Kamala fans are subjecting us to hysterical takes, the saddest thing about the US election is that President Trump will implement all the terrible policies that Holocaust Harris would have implemented. Some of you are crying that Kamala lost, the sane among us are crying that these vile creatures were the choices. Some of us have been feeling despair for a lot longer than one fucking day. continue reading |

Trump is Eyeing Iran Hawk Brian Hook as First Foreign Policy Pick
„The Iranian view is that Trump wants to make a deal, but it depends on whether he appoints the same neoconservatives as last time“
 Murtaza Hussain Nov 07, 2024Brian Hook, a hawkish fixture of the first Donald Trump administration who formerly served under George W. Bush, is reportedly getting the call to start staffing the State Department for a new Trump term. Hook, known as a major Iran hawk who helped lead the “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions, sabotage, and assassinations that characterized Trump’s approach to Tehran, has been appointed to help oversee the formation of a new foreign policy team, according to reports from Politico and CNN.

Mehdi reflects on what we learned on election night, and what lies ahead for America.
Mehdi HasanNov 06, 2024 Again.In a shocking turn of events, Donald J. Trump, disgraced ex-president and convicted criminal, will be returning to the Oval Office in a few weeks, flanked by Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., among others. We had been told it was a close race. We had been told the momentum was with Kamala Harris. We had been told that we might have to wait several days for the result.

Kamala Harris Screwed Up 4. The ‚Vibecession‘ Never Ended 5. Get Ready for President Vance 6. Fascism Is Coming 7. Solidarity Matters C ontinue reading |
