...recognition for a ME ceasefire & has lied about ending 7 wars. Both sides of the Gaza debacle are desperate to have any recognition from him. He wants a Nobel prize. That's why he did it. He does nothing unless it furthers his interests & makes him look like a hero. I don't see a good guy. 2/2

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listened to the first part of the show. People who might not see Gaza as representing a 47 positive, β€’whose family members were kidnapped & disappeared β€’whose family detained & terrorized β€’communities w/ military.

47's role in the ceasefire is unclear. He's desperate for 1/2

Trump's EPA now says greenhouse gases don't endanger people The Trump administration wants to reverse a 2009 EPA finding that greenhouse gases endanger people. The finding is the basis for much of the United States' climate change regulations.

If you want elected Democrats to "fight" you best understand that it will be *Black* Democrats on those front lines. And so you best have their backs when they're unconstitutionally asked to suffer the consequences.

Josh Shapiro is Jewish. He's a Democrat. There is no outcry by anyone from the right about this arson. But they are already suggesting it's a false flag. This is MAGA America. For those who failed critical thinking, no one set a Tesla on fire w/ someone inside the car.

One of those types who gets plopped in a position of authority for the first time & doesn't know how to act. Demanding bar hours be extended suggests he was either drunk. Or he was suffering from Ugly American syndrome.

Nobody cares. The widespread anti immigration hate among a large segment of the US population gives 47 a license to send people to a foreign country for life w/o: being charged, held for trial, representation or outside contact is more than a whiff of 1930's Europe. No finding of guilt or innocence.
