This is a 45 minute lecture (with 15 additional minutes of questions) about a remarkable find among my father's and grandfather's files of their life in 1930's Germany. youtu.be/u17g7djNbPc?si…

Current regime will attempt to stay in power beyond 2028. If Trump is still alive, GOP will make him nominee & SCOTUS will say ok. If Trump dies, its Vance. Regardless of elections, regime will not leave. Its up to Americans to rise up. I have no idea whether Americans do that.

This looks really serious. Russia has closed down the internet even in Moscow. GPS does not work, not even for taxidrivers. Modern Russians live of and with the internet. This Stalinist nonsense suggests that the authorities sense they are losing political control.

I feel the same heartbreak over Chuck Norris as I did over Charlie Kirk.

@RpsAgainstTrump @YaYaOregon Yes indeed. Like Kamala said...no guardrails. Its a full fascist takeover.

Trump: I have much more power in my second term, don’t you think? In my first term, I don’t know if I could have gotten away with this.

@CraigMurrayOrg This video is from 2023 and was based on Gaza. Iran posted this video recently to make people think Herzog was talking about Lebanon. It could have been a lie then, but Herzog did not say this anytime recently.

Having been inside many homes in South Lebanon I can assure you I have never seen a copy of Mein Kampf nor heard any expression remotely supportive of Hitler or Nazism. Pathetic propaganda.

@CraigMurrayOrg @davidpsdem Not too different from Putin's claim that he needed to de-Nazify Ukraine resulting in his unprovoked attack on Ukraine (with its Jewish president).

@Raxtrulin @Matt_Pinner Melania

@Matt_Pinner When’s the last time you heard something bad about Slovenia??

If you were forced to live in Europe, Where would you choose?

@Matt_Pinner @midsummer_dream France

Yea. Don't support Ukraine so Russia has more resources to kill our military in Iran war. Smart.

@sandibachom @carstarr6 The Republican party was already appeasing the evangelicals before Trump. This was also part of Netanyahu's plan to ally with the GOP.

I've been following the rise of MAGA for 10 years. Everyone in New York knew Trump was a heathen and had orgies with his billionaire pedophile friend, but Trump was always an anti semite. "I like Jews to wear visors" as in accountants. So the weird thing when he first ran for president, his irst press conference was all about how he loved the evangelicals and all the mega church pastors loved him because he promised them all tax breaks. "I'll repeal the Johnson amendment" which he never did. But here's the hook, Trump brought in the 'Christians' because he promised he would move the embassy to Jerusalem! What does that mean? They believe when the rapture comes, it will take place in Jerusalem and all the Jews will be converted and they will all go up to heaven. SO this is how they got the Evangelicals to love Israel as Bibi takes us to an endless war. They will let him get away with anything. It's really evil genius

@RpsAgainstTrump @JoeyFotoFr Yes. He is controlled by Putin, MbS and also Bibi.

Netanyahu: "I want to close these opening remarks with one other fake news, and that is that Israel somehow dragged the U.S. into a conflict with Iran. Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on”

@OlgaNYC1211 @ToddDomke The constitution is not perfect. The military and fed law enforcement is controlled by the Exec branch, so he cannot be controlled by Congress. Of course as of now he has control of Congress and SCOTUS but even if those branches change, he still will ignore orders and subpoenas.

We need stronger guardrails. How is it that a single individual can push U.S. institutions and democracy to the brink of collapse while also holding the power to potentially cripple the global economy and upend the world order?

Bibi always thought he controls Trump. Only time Trump lashed out at Bibi was when Israel bombed peace negotiations in Qatar. Trump was so angry that he forced Trump to apologize & got Israel to a ceasefire and release of hostages. But since then, Bibi has been back in control.

Gomez: You said the only person who determine if it’s an imminent threat is the president. Do you stand by that statement? Gabbard: I do Gomez: Director Ratcliffe, do you agree with that? Ratcliffe: The president makes that decision Gomez: Why do you guys even have jobs?

One of the reasons that Israel gets away with ethnic cleansing and apartheid is because American Jewish leaders fail to speak directly to what is happening. Israel has implemented a more complete version of apartheid on the West Bank that S. Africa ever was able to achieve.

Trump asked China to help open the Straitnof Hormuz. China said sorry, all of our ships are now surrounding Taiwan.

Mitch McConnell had an opportunity to save the US from becoming an autocratic state. That was the Mitch McConnell decision not to vote to convict Trump in Jan 2020 after impeachment. It would have been easy to do. Thanks Mitch!!!!

@glenn_tunes @filmystic Chris Murphy has explained that 1/3 of GOP want one man dictatorship rule. Remaining 2/3rds are scared for their own & personal security. As more of latter resign or leave Congress, the pro strongman component of the GOP becomes a larger share of party. Just like Putin's Duma.

Are there any psychologists or psychiatrists who can explain what has happened to the so-called "men" in the Republican party 🤷 there has to be some kind of mental illness that makes them idolize a demented pedophile in makeup and diapers 🤷

@michaeldweiss @ladyinlksd The biggest problem is that the current DNI is a Russian asset reporting to a Russian asset President and the FBI director was a plotter in the Jan6 insurrection to overthrow the US.

We're in an extraordinary moment in the history of America's national security apparatus. The notorious overreach of the intelligence community into politicizing intelligence and driving policy is the old problem. The new problem is the intelligence community's claiming it's job isn't to do the actual thing it's meant to do. "Ms. Gabbard was ready with an answer. 'It is not a responsibility of the intelligence community to determine what is or is not an imminent threat,' she said." nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.
