FUCKED! UP! Why no attention to Trump’s untethered speeches, where not a single sentence is spoken. Lots, and LOTS of unconnected, barely or not at all related Fragments… But lucky if they contain a single Subject_Predicate_Object sentence. OR JUST! Subject_Predicate.

Trump was going to dominate the courtroom. Instead, he is shrinking. https://t.co/8IZsWxs228 Things are grim in Trumpville (with probably same ending), the Mighty Casey (Trump) has struck-out (the likely Guilty verdict will be an even bigger shock).

Trump wrongly thought he might win the presidency on the courtroom steps.

James, Willis, Smith, etc. need to stop denying that they are targeting Trump. PROSECUTORS TARGET CRIMINALS, AND EVIDENCE OF CRIMES. And Trump has been a Dumpster Fire of Criminal Evidence since the 1980s. Their Targeting of Trump is JUST LIKE Elliot Ness’ Targeting of Capone.

This has been something I have been repeating since ~2009, when I realized that the Zuckerbergs and Musks were actively pursuing Ignorance of much of the consequences of their work so as to cognitively insulate themselves from its Consequences. The dangers we face are in this.

In recent years, this ideology has only grown stronger, more self-righteous, more delusional, and—in the face of rising criticism—more aggrieved. We would all do well to pay much closer attention to it: https://t.co/MjE6nDka85 (3/3)

So the South Carolina Treasurer is saying that the Government can FORCE people to make what are usually consensual Choices, forcing them to support a Business they do not wish to be associated with. Think about that. How is that “Free Market?” No, Seat Belt Laws aren’t “≈.”

But no such thing yet exists, NOR HAS BEEN PRODUCED! All we get are innuendo and baseless accusations that can be dismissed with the same amount of evidence as exists in them to begin with: None! /—

Obviously some will respond with the usual “Whatabout!!!! Whatabout!!” That is EXACTLY what I am talking about: Show us REAL EVIDENCE of a Crime, and the Criminal WILL/SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR IT, given their own Day in Court to defend themselves. /8

The Media NEEDS to confront these people with: “You are elected not just to represent the Voters, BUT TO LEAD THEM TO MORAL/ETHICAL TRUTH AS a Leader! Refusing to do so is an Abdication of your job, and should be just as disqualifying! Stop being a Craven Coward and LEAD!” /7

Leadership is saying: People under Indictment are LEGITIMATELY SUSPECTED of Committing a Crime, and given they COULD BE GUILTY, even with the Presumption of Innocence means they MUST STEP DOWN depending Due Process Absolving them. Like with Sen. Al Franken and others. /6

That is because the Individual Voter CANNOT POSSIBLY follow every issue or Policy, and thus depend upon Honorable Leaders to Inform them. The GOP has Abdicated this, being led by their noses by the Voters and Trump, RATHER THAN LEADING. Refusing is Moral/Ethical Fail! /6

And there are also his Enablers or others in the GOP who refuse to confront these subjects, while having no problem confronting anyone else for identical failures, saying “I want the Voters to Decide!” The USA was created as a Liberal Democracy Republic for a Reason. /5

WHY is no one responding to Trump/Enablers with: “Two Wrongs does not make it Right. IF you claim that Biden and the others broke Laws, That DOES NOT give you the Right to break the same Laws.” Which is what he or his enablers are attempting to Justify. /4

And we also have the constant use by Trump/Pol-Right of: • “I know you are, but what am I?” And/Or: • “I’m Rubber, you’re Glue…” (Although in Fairness I should probably spell that “… your glue…” for this crowd) Again, this supports their “2 Wrongs = Right” Narrative. /2

IF Trump and Enablers are REALLY concerned about these things, the Solution is NOT to commit the same Crimes/Violations yourself, BUT TO SAY: “I will make it so that NO ONE can Commit these Crimes/Wrongs, EVEN ME/US!” /1 Note: “IFF” is not misspelled. “IF-and-only-iF” = IFF

Why is no one responding to Trump/GOP with: Two Wrongs do not make a Right. IFF Biden/Democrats are guilty of a Crime or Misuse of Gov’t, THAT IS NOT a Justification/Permission to Commit the same Crime!!! E.g.: “He Murdered Someone, so I GET TO, TOO!.” Con’t in Comments.

Antisemites supporting Israel is weird. Jewish support of them is even weirder | Sam Wolfson https://t.co/JtU01f4M8N Hardly “weird” or surprising. Israel must be “Reconstituted to original Borders” for the Evangelical-Right to get its “Prophetic” Armageddon/Apocalypse/etc.

Jewish organizations are embracing public figures who have circulated hateful tropes – because they support Israel

This is an example of the people Netanyahu (and Trumpists) maligned and marginalized to retain power. He seems to embody everything that not just Israelis, but any Liberal Democracy, or Humanity as a whole seeks to embody.

If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story. Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan
