Kennedy duvarı yalamayan yegane ABD başkanıydı.
Hayatına mal olan konuşma;
-İsrailli yetkililere, onların yayılmacı politikalarını kabul etmediğimi söyledim. O toprakların kadim halkının (Filistinlilerin) hakları görmezden gelinemez. Adil bir çözüm bulmalıyız.”

Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

@RaveonRichmond @rocknrollofall IFKYK . I just watch Cropper.
The vibrato is perfect.

@rocknrollofall Having Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn who played on all of those original Stax records is amazing in itself. Hearing Duck Dunn's bass lines in the "Can't Turn You Loose" introduction to the Blues Brothers is truly amazing.

Pierre Poilievre is in the news the past couple of days. I think this is his seventh makeover. I lost count.
Meanwhile the actual Prime Minister of Canada is making trade deals all over and he's being noticed. Rachel Maddow is one of the best.

When it comes to "punching down," no one does it better, and more cruelly, than Doug Ford and the @OntarioPCParty. No one. #atrisk

This is on purpose to later privatize. We're hearing about alcohol, wanting apologies from judges, encouragement to kill people who are no longer threats in homes, but NOTHING about healthcare? This is abysmal.

@PaulStewartII This is Reagan/Thatcher "the government is the problem", let the "private sector" run wild. That experiment has failed everyone but the 1%

Doug Ford is pulling straight from Trump's distraction playbook - HOV lanes, BYOB, whatever sticks.
All while he changes the law to hide information from the public by getting rid of FOIs.
This isn’t leadership - it’s a cover-up. Ontarians deserve transparency. #onpoli

FLOOD THE ZONE: Critics in Ontario say a flurry of government announcements on justice, alcohol and roads is designed to distract from sweeping changes the Ford government is planning to apply to FOI laws.

Hundreds of Ontario cases tossed, after police officers violated Charter rights. Guns, drugs, child pornography and breathalyzer test results have been excluded from evidence in trials due to police officers conduct. No officers have been disciplined. ctvnews.ca/toronto/articl…

The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same:
1) Police investigating the police;
2) Police clearing the police of misconduct that a Judge and/or Jury found to be the case - testilying;
3) The Premier of Ontario and the Police Association insulting Justice Anne Molloy and demanding she apologize for her instructions to the Jury;
4) If anything the hue and cry this week reinforces the "I got your back or the thin blue line" culture of policing😉;
5) It also shows the disconnect between people who enforce the law not encouraging themselves and others to respect for the administration of justice of which our Judges and Juries are key fact finders. Ironic 🤔;
6) Justice Anne Molloy outside of being a highly respected jurist also came to the bench with a human rights perspective having spent time as counsel at the Ontario Human Right Commission;
7) You can't want to disrespect jurist when the results are not in your favor and you want other people to respect you and your exercise of discretion or the lack thereof. It goes both ways;
8) The process is to appeal an unfavorable judgment. Calling on a jurist to apologize is a new low in Ontario.
