[@rldenny2]

As a former American-United Nations environmental advisor to Kenya and other subsaharan African nations I saw the threat of China and Russia in all of the above nations. For these reasons I appreciate the comments of this MSNBC article.

[@sayhisnamewhickerfjb]

The United Nations is THEE most useless group ever. And you admit to bring associated with them?😂😂😂😂

They are there because the US doesn't know how to negotiate to get the things we need an that they need also: China is smart. They will build a road connecting regions of an African country to the main city and in exchange ask for rights to their Cobalt. BOOM! Both sides get what they need and at the same time doesn't create a dependency loop that most well meaning countries, get caught in.

And the only one who has the entirety of the Right-Wing, Russian, Chinese, and Iranian troll and bot farms furiously shilling for him, and desperately trying to get him back into the WH, is Trump the Traitor who owes hundreds of millions to the Chinese and who cannot stop publicly praising Xinnie the Pooh even if his life depended on it. He said he wanted to be "King" and declare himself "Leader for Life" just like his idol, Pooh Bear did. Keep up, Ivan. 🤡

[@willvm394]

I haven't heard of that previous to your comment, so I will have to look into it. However, what I do know is that in December, the current Supreme Court was asked by the Special Counsel to consider Trump's claims that a sitting president is above the law, and declined. They then decided months later to take up the matter, after the court of appeals ruled TWICE, that a sitting president is NOT above the law, and they are dragging it out as long as possible! Remember, this is a court in which a Justice, who is still on that court, told a G.O.P. senator in 2020, the year of a presidential election, that he was thinking of leaving the court because he didn't make enough money, then Right Wing billionaires started befriending that Justice and giving him gifts, including a recreational vehicle costing more than a quarter of a million dollars. Buying his mother's home, renovating it, and letting her continue to live there rent-free for years. Paying for that justice's elaborate vacations. Then came the 2000 presidential elections. Al Gore received 50,999,897 popular votes and George W. Bush received 50,456,002 popular votes. So Bush received 543,895 LESS than Gore, but the Supreme Court decided that Bush won! It doesn't end there! Very briefly, another Justice currently on the Supreme Court had property listed for sale for two years, then when he was confirmed to the Court, he quickly got a buyer! That buyer is head of a law firm which frequently has cases before the Supreme Court; in fact they appeared before the Court in 22 cases in the years after that land deal! Or how about the Justice, whose wife has a deal leasing 160 acres of land to an energy company, for a percentage of the profits, and who has ruled against the EPA a number of times? Even reversing a law signed by President Obama to protect the environment? How about one of the above mentioned Justices flying flags at two of his homes indicating that he is also an insurrectionist? I could continue, but I think you get the picture, although I'm almost positive that you will see it all as inconsequential!

[@BJones-yw4dd]

If you listen to the legal eagles who work in that courtroom on a regular basis, there are far more steps involved in rending a verdict here, so an hour might be preferable, but those in the know, e.g. Karen Friedman Agnifolo of the Meidas Touch Network, say AT LEAST a day.

[@dawnnoble8186]

@@BJones-yw4dd I agree with what you said about the two legal lawyers on The Midas Touch Network. But other programs on there, they keep slamming mainstream media and then they place all of them on the lowest part on the measuring stick. There are different internet sites carrying different views. The right crazy wing such as Fox is completely different from MSNBC---Morning Joe and a host of good reporters and moderators are saying the same things as you guys. When Midas touch are putting down center-left leaning Media they are doing nobody favors except for helping Trump trying to deceive is Maga Maggot voters that the main stream Media is corrupt. I am hoping that Midas stops this bashing of the left leaning Reporters before trump stamps out all of our voices if he becomes a Dictator. Besides the Mega crazies, remember we are all on the same side here and we must stick together to fight and defeat trump once and for all. Slava Ukraine and the LSA

Is this really our choice between two war criminals Putin on one side at Netanyahu on the other👁️🙏🏽👁️

[@BJones-yw4dd]

Your hyperbolic representation totally mischaracterizes the situation. If you're smart, you'll lobby Biden, not vilify him. Biden has indeed moved leftward on many issues, including against Bibi/Israel, if you'd look around and do some research instead of making crass generalizations. Most Israelis vehemently oppose Netanyahu and he doesn't listen to them. Why would he bow to a foreign leader? Those who are paying attention know full well that 1) Joe Biden does not rule Israel and thus cannot order Netanyahu to stand down. On the contrary, the many countries who are badgering Netanyahu to cease and desist are getting the finger from him. Why? Because, like Trump, "Bibi" is in danger of ouster and landing in jail for his actions, and thus, like Trump, he's doubling down on his mania to achieve his evil goals (taking Gaza from Palestine at any cost) before that Karma hits. Netanyahu has been wishing for DECADES for this "excuse" to take Gaza and destroy his perceived enemies. It's irresistable to him. Biden has no control over Netanyahu's despicable choices, no matter what a bunch of single-issue protestors want to tell themselves, so they have the Black vs White issue they prefer to rail against instead of the massive gray area that is reality….. 2) Those who are screaming about the arms shipments to Israel are right to be angry, because our equipment is indeed being misused against civilians. But the my-way-or-the-highway protestors are blindly mistaken about how recently those contracts to send military equipment were made. In fact, Biden has ordered delivery for the most recent contracts to be postponed (they cannot be legally nullified), while the ones that have been fulfilled were signed months and even years ago. A 3-year-old’s wishful thinking says: Stop It ALL, This Instant! But that is not anywhere close to the tragic reality. If you think Biden doesn’t regret that, then why would he stop the shipments? 3) Anyone who would consider supporting Trump instead, or who insists on hating Biden simply because Biden is NOT a dictator (and refuses to play one on TV) is a traitor themselves, for those people are completely ignoring EVERYthing else that is at stake for the entire planet if Biden does not get re-elected. Think: mass persecution, incarcerations and deportation of innocent citizens and immigrants alike. Think: "Drill Baby Drill”, even in our most beloved national parks and wilderness areas & the loss of any chance whatsoever to rein in the climate chaos we're already facing. * Think: the revocation & rollbacks of EVERY bit of Biden's progress for America -- SCOTUS will be in rightwing nutjob hands for at least a generation (while Biden's re-election + (D) Congress will guarantee at least two SCOTUS replacements) * All environmental progress for the climate, clean air and water will be destroyed; * Goodbye ObamaCare, reproductive rights and even contraception … * Same for SNAP, child care, LGBTQ, labor, the rule of law ... POOF! Gone… So QUIT being a traitor and complaining about things that Biden cannot control, much as we wish he could. Because without Biden and the Dems, We the People and our democracy are sunk.
