Opinion | Trump Is Indicted, as America's Justice System Holds Him Accountable

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  29 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  last year

“A grand jury's decision to indict Donald Trump is a necessary part of the American justice system.”

FINALLY!  Of course, the secret investigations have only been replaced with a secret indictment.  At some point the public must be informed of all the secrets.  And if the charges appear to be trumped up (to coin a phrase) the blowback will be enormous.   Naturally we'll hear a lot of editorial...

John Kerry rushes to defense of climate activist leaders who use private jets

“U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry came to the defense of world leaders who fly on gas-guzzling private jets while simultaneously pushing policies to...”

So, Kerry and his cronies offset their carbon-rich lifestyles by forcing mere commoners to pay for their guilty consciences?  Kerry can fly around the world guilt-free because he's forcing bans on things ordinary people rely on every day.

A bombshell Biden story — and the media dutifully ignore it

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  44 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  last year

“That's what media observers call the bias of omission — when news organizations ignore a newsworthy story.”

Biden is so irrelevant that he can't even get his own controversy.  The press simply ignores Biden; Biden just ain't newsworthy.

“An indictment vote has "loomed" for weeks in Manhattan and seems to be taking forever. Blame the historic lack of secrecy with this secret grand jury.”

Still.......... waiting.  Look's like all those fearless district attorneys have gone fishin'.

Thanks, Joe!   You're doing a bang up job.

Biden’s approval slips to 38%, near the lowest of his presidency, new poll says

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  22 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  last year

“President Joe Biden's approval rating in a new poll fell to 38%, just two points above his all-time low in office.”

Will Biden try to buy voter approval with increased Federal spending?  That would be a recipe for disaster.

Ron DeSantis Is Right About Ukraine

“His statements have been hotly disputed, but not refuted.”

A concise explanation of why Ukraine has become a quagmire.  There's no way to stop the war now.  For Ukraine, Russia, and the United States winning the war will also be a loss.  There's no way for anyone to win without losing. DeSantis may be correct that the war in Ukraine is not in the...

“I’m not going to, for operational security reasons, not going to get into the specifics of routes, missions, timelines, things like that”

The US military responds to a US drone being downed over the Black Sea by Russian aircraft.  Maybe the Russian pilots were incompetent but their mission was successful.

U.S. Senate advances bill to repeal Iraq war authorizations

“The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to advance a bill that would repeal two authorizations for war in Iraq, which could soon head for a final vote.”

It's only taken 30 years to repeal what never should have been enacted.  Neoconservative/neoliberal Republicans oppose repealing these war authorizations.  And Biden's White House only supports the repeal with caveats, of course.

Biden warns people 'can't deny' climate change, 'wrath' of Mother Nature: 'Whole generation is damned'

“President Biden gave a chilling warning to younger generations about their future because of climate change during a Monday interview on "The Daily...”

When in doubt, ratchet up the fear machine.  Everything else is turning to crap so let's talk about climate change and a dystopian future. Hey, Joe, we're all traveling to Disneyland.  No time to worry about existential threats, we'll miss the flight.
