From Lawrence O’Donnel's report -

It is standard protocol for noncombatant family members to be evacuated from a war zone before a planned attack. In trump's war, that was not done.

"They knew something was going on, and they literally left us there as sitting ducks."

The night of the attack was a terrifying experience for spouses and children.

Many of families are now living in limbo ever since their hasty departure from Bahrain, under financial duress.

MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell slams Trump and Pete Hegseth’s lies and incompetence following a bombshell report from MS NOW’s Priya Sridhar exposing new details of attacks on a U.S. Naval base in Bahrain.

"It was the worst destruction of an American Navy base since the early days of World War II. But reporters were not allowed to report on how bad the damage was."

I saw a tech forum thread with almost 100% Americans condemning the protests in France.

Americans who have no universal healthcare, barely any paid holidays, broken trade union rights, tertiary education only for the rich, compromised food standards, employee rights that don't exist, a culture of mass shootings once a week, and an education and media system that led to 70% believing saddam was behind 9/11.

If so prompted, the corrupt convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, racist, misogynist, serial pump’n’dump fraudster, pathological liar, malignant narcissist, and failed businessman who currently snoozes in the Oval Office of the White House will surely do the decent and right thing and comply with the #ICC arrest warrant?

The International Criminal Court Indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel:

Morning, all,

I’ve had a chance to sleep on it, since watching the documentary ‘NAZA’, but the world is still as bleak today as it was leaving #Bath’s Little Theatre yesterday afternoon.

#NAZA is the number of men, women or children Israel anticipates will die when the #IDF bombs the home (and it’s almost always the domestic residence) of someone suspected by the #AI system LAVENDER of links to Hamas, the organisation that perpetrated the terrorist atrocity against Israel on 7th October 2023.

A suspicion Israel’s intelligence agency considers just 85% accurate.

Such strikes have been authorised even for a NAZA of 500, meaning IDF knows the buildings targeted are occupied by up to 500 people who will also likely die.

All should watch 'NAZA' and demand that the next time Netanyahu visits President Trump, he be arrested for trial at the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Nevada went through the same thing.

July 16 Trump: We found 250,000 people on Nevada's voter rolls who aren't eligible

July 17 DHS: Nevada has 16,000 people on the voter rolls who aren't eligible to vote

August 14 DHS: It's 185 people.

September 23 Nevada: It's 0. We checked.

WSJ is reporting that it was Elon Musk who ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine.

"Musk and Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public, two of the people said. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision to throttle Starlink.⁠"

In any case, it is a reprehensible act.

July DHS: California has 190,000 people on its voter rolls who are not citizens

October 15 DoJ: There are 20,000+ people on California's voter rolls who are non citizens

October 19 DoJ: We have arrested 28 people suspected of illegally voting.

Also October 19 DoJ: Not all of these people may have voted at all.

So, that's how the Trump administration rolls.

Beware #GOP Trojan Horse candidates pending to be Dems:

A group that until recently was called “Democrats for Mike Rogers” presents itself as a bold cross-party coalition supporting the Michigan Republican’s campaign on moral grounds. But a review of the PAC’s financial disclosures shows that the group looks like a predominantly Republican operation pretending to be Democrats.

“Former United States Army Europe commander Ben Hodges criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for claiming that only a few NATO allies participated in the kinetic operations in Afghanistan. Hegseth made the remarks while speaking to ROTC cadets and military recruits, and Hodges criticized the move.” - McGill Media

A meme with a photo of Pete Hegseth next to a photo of Ben Hodges in dress blue uniform late in his U.S. Army career. 

Hegseth on allied operations in Afghanistan: In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."


Ben Hodges: Shameful. Over a thousand Allied Soldiers were killed in Afghanistan fighting alongside US Soldiers and Marines. Why would the Secretary think it was appropriate to disparage our Allies in front of these young Cadets, future Officers?

Isn't it "nice" that France's government is nearly as fascist as ours? Same for the UK government, so many EU governments and Canada isn't that far behind.

It's all one big neoliberal club sliding into overt fascism, with fearful older voters pushing for the expansion of the police state which people in power gladly use to quell dissent.

But socialism (even the mildest forms like democratic socialism) is the real evil of course. How dare people demand that their rights and the rights of ithers be respected instead of just accepting that the powerful are the only ones who deserve anything.

Paul Krugman:

"Why does Trump love Putin and hate Zelenskyy?

1. Trump and his inner circle don’t just love autocrats. They hate democracy and rule of law — which means that they hate America and American values.

2. Putin-worship was widespread on the authoritarian right even before Trump entered the picture, with many celebrating Russia’s anti-wokeness and perceived masculinity.

3. Trump surely resents the fact that Zelenskyy is everything he is not."

Paul Krugman writes:

"At this point, then, Trump effectively has nothing left to lose on the political front — and his political bankruptcy has freed him to become his worst self, indulging himself by doing what he always wanted to do — which includes supporting corrupt, murderous dictators.

Trump can’t and won’t make America great again. But he can betray everything America stands for, and he’s doing it as we speak."

"Good Morning, Puppies...,"

I'm channelling the news presenter on #BBCWorldService who is reporting that one of the puppies is starting to wake up as Finland is live-streaming sleeping puppies.

Perhaps Finns are happier than Americans because Finland prefers to live-stream puppies sleeping while American, under President Donald Trump and Pete 'No Tab' Hegseth would rather live-stream execution by firing squad?

President Donald Jesus Trump claims to have restored respect for America in the rest of the world but the truth is different.

U.S. Republicans need look no further than the start of this latest episode of this British comic current affairs programme 'Mock The Week' to understand how low America's reputation has sunk under their President's remarkable leadership...
