A govenment of the people, by the people, for the people is not a two-party plutocracy where corporations and the uber-wealthy control the government and control the very narrative we hear every day. It's a war between personal freedom and liberty versus authoritarianism and tyranny.
This isn't hyperbole a vote for Donald
Trump uh May mean the last election that
you ever get to vote in this is an
exaggeration he's a threat to democracy.
Trump said he would
terminate the Constitution so he could
be president again do you know who also
did that? Mussolini, Chavez, Pinochet. All of them shelved
their constitutions to centralize power.
Trump is planning to purge tens of
thousands of civil servants and replace
them with loyalists authoritarian Victor
Orbin used the same tactic to dismantle Hungary's democracy.
Donald Trump's
chances of winning are very real the
alarm is going off everyone needs to
wake up we have a choice between
protecting our democracy or letting
Trump destroy it! It's time to get off
the sidelines we can't let Donald Trump
get close to the oval office again!
I am Baffled, at what my Country has become. This Fool is not even the Nominee for the republican party (Yet).
Personally I think Biden should step aside as he has already endorsed Gavin Newsom.
What are your Thoughts.? I think Biden is too old to live through another term, yet I feel the same with Trump! Folks keep talking about Civil War and Honestly I see this could happen!
Greetings... I was watching the news this morning and there was some Fella speaking. I was not listening to him, I was reading the books titles he had on his book shelf behind him. I saw a book named 1948 behind him and it drew my Curiosity so I Googled and found a Movie. I have never been one to cast what is right and what is wrong in the Middle East as I as many others really are not sure of the issue. What I watched today I had to pay to watch, not knowing it was on YouTube, but I found it this evening and welcome you to know all that you did not. I do not post this for your Entertainment, just to open windows you never knew Existed. Be Well to Yourself and Others.
We've got some bombshell news that could
potentially be explosive in Trump's
pending January 6th federal trial in Washington D.C. Donald Trump just put out
a post on Truth social that says 'quote'
Mark Milley who had led perhaps the most
embarrassing moment in American history
with his grossly incompetent
implementation of the withdrawal from
Afghanistan costing many lives leaving
behind hundreds of American citizens and
handing over billions of dollars of the
finest military equipment ever made will
be leaving the military next week this
will be a time for all citizens of the
USA to celebrate this guy turned out to
be a woke train wreck who if the fake
news reporting is correct was actually
dealing with China to give them a heads
up on the thinking of the President of
the United States.
This is an act so
egregious that in Times Gone by the
punishment would have been death a war
between China and the United States
could have been the result of this
treasonous act to be continued so this
is Donald Trump issuing The Not So
thinly valid suggestion that the
chairman of the U.S Joint Chiefs of
Staff should be executed and this is a
military General who he himself
appointed to that role which by the way
would be wall-to-wall news coverage if
it was any other person who said it or
even any other world leader in another
country, but putting that minuscule
detail aside let's unpack the
implications of what he just posted
first of all Mark Milley may very well
be on the witness list for Trump's DC
trial.
This is a man who had Direct
first-hand accounts of many key events
that took place in the events leading up
to and on January 6th according to his
interview at the house January 6
committee Mark Milley said that he was
highly disturbed by the assaults on the
capital and the Constitution and took
steps to preserve evidence to reassure,
America's allies he also shared some
anecdotes that illustrate Trump's
instability, for example Milley ordered
his staff to collect and classify
documents related to January 6 for
future investigations fearing that they
might be destroyed or tampered with, he
was also concerned that foreign
adversaries would exploit the domestic
turmoil and had frequent phone calls
with his counterparts including China,
Russia, France and others to calm the
situation. He also participated in a
rehearsal of the Electoral account
certification and recalled that the
deputy defense secretary predicted a
direct attack on the capital while
Trump's National Security adviser Robert
O'Brien, who's spreading lies and
conspiracy theories about antifa and
black lives matter.
Millie also said that
he found it odd that Trump asked the
acting defense secretary if he was ready
for January 6 and to 'quote' protect my
people during a meeting about Iran's
nuclear program perhaps most crucially
Milley was worried that Trump would
issue unlawful orders to the military
especially including overseas in
Afghanistan and Somalia and said he was
prepared to resist them unsurprisingly
but importantly Trump never called Nelly
on January 6 nor did he call his own
defense secretary or vice president
which further indicates his involvement
and support for the Insurrection so it's
safe to say that Milley has a lot of
information to offer about Trump's
actions related to January 6. if he is
listed as a potential trial witness,
which by the way Trump would know by now
because of the discovery process. Then
Trump will have violated his release
conditions which state that he
specifically swears not to tamper with
or intimidate. Witnesses 'quote' violating
any of the foregoing conditions of
release May result in the immediate
issuance of a warrant for your arrest a
revocation of your release an order of
attention a forfeiture of any bond and a
prosecution for contempt of court and
can result in imprisonment of fine or
both it is a crime punishable by up to
10 years in prison and a 250 000 fine or
both to obstruct a criminal
investigation tamper with the witness
victim or informant retaliate or attempt
to retaliate against a witness victim or
informant or intimidate or attempt to
intimidate a witness victim juror
informant or officer of the court again.
It's not confirmed that Milley is a
potential trial witness but based on the
extensive experience he had during the
events leading up to that day it would
be pretty shocking if he wasn't and
let's be clear this wouldn't be the
first time that Trump is engaged in
probable witness tampering. In his four
pending trials and Georgia for example
he directly called on a witness not to
testify here's what former Federal
prosecutor Glenn Kirschner had to say when
I asked about that and how these various
witness tampering incidents intertwine
with his multiple criminal cases you
know Trump expressly attacked Geoff Duncan the, lieutenant Governor of
Georgia saying that he shouldn't testify. What impact will that move specifically
have of on him and his case yeah this
actually matters and what we're going to
have to do for a minute is mix criminal
apples and oranges, because we're going
to have to talk about multiple Donald
Trump criminal prosecutions.
There are so
many in the mix right now but if we
first look at what the Judge told Donald
Trump at his arraignment date here is
what she told him she said your most
important condition of release sir is
that you not commit a state federal or
local crime while on release if you were
to do so a warrant may be issued for
your arrest your conditions of release
may be revoked and you may be held
pending trial in this case so it's
really important to know that even
though it's a federal prosecution in
Washington D.C he was given the
expressed condition of you know not
violating any federal law any state law
or any local law and you just hit the
nail right on the head because what
Donald Trump posted which just really
breathtaking in its obvious criminality
he posted that he knew that the former
lieutenant governor of Georgia Geoff
Duncan was going to appear before the
grand jury that's important, Why.? because
prosecutors can prove he knew Duncan was
going to be a witness against him and
then he said and I quote 'He shouldn't
testify!'
If that's not witness tampering
more specifically under Georgia state
law it's called influencing a witness
and it's a two to ten year felony and
what I just described that post about
somebody he knew was about to testify
before the grand jury is absolutely
witness intimidation witness tampering
influencing a witness and if that
represents a violation of Georgia state
law and I absolutely believe it does on
the facts on the evidence that that can
serve as a basis to revoke him in his
federal case because as we just
discussed the judge said while you're on
release in this federal case your most
important condition is that you not
violate any federal law any state law or
any local law so I think Donald Trump
has a world of hurt about to come
crashing down on him I think at this
point the system has to step up has to
assert the rule of law if Donald Trump
you know is to be deterred at all and
not only Donald Trump but if other
defendants who are on pre-trial release
are to be deterred so in a way his
multiple criminal cases all affect one
another here especially if they involve
a revocation of bail and if these state
law violations in Georgia with Jeff
Duncan doesn't land him in jail then
this new example of witness tampering if
Milley is in fact a potential trial
witness certainly will land him in major
legal trouble because it doesn't even
require cooperation between multiple
jurisdictions it would just just be a
flat out violation of the conditions of
his release in the federal DC trial no
ifs ands or buts and just to add more to
the many layers of criminality here
Milley is likely also a witness and the
Florida trial also being brought by Jack
Smith related to Trump's handling of
classified documents so if it's not one
it could be the other the simple fact is
that Trump is extremely exposed to a
number of legal perils here and he just
can't stop digging his hole deeper and
deeper the more he posts the more
exposed he gets so at this point my best
advice would probably be
just keep talking Donald just keep
talking.
Let's talk about substantive international issues, you want to be President of the United
States.
Today the speaker, Mccarthy, he refused to commit to even putting Ukrainian aid on the house floor, After meeting with Ukranian President Zelensky. How concerned are you right now Governor of the growing resistance among so many of your fellow Republicans to providing the desperately needed assistance to Ukraine.?
I am really concerned Wolf and given that I Kyiv about 6 weeks ago and met with President Zelensky there. I went and toured around the country and saw the barbarism being committed by the Russian
army, the deaths to civilians, the kidnapping of over 20,000 children, and this is a war
being funded by the Chinese, Russians doing the fighting.
Now the North Koreans, and Iranians are providing weapons North Korean, providing weapons to the country.
This is a threat to the United States.
We have to stand with our allies and friends and do this, and I think this kind of shortsighted
isolationism which is what Donald Trump has bred in our party.
I absolutely do I absolutely do.
He has bred this kind of isolationism in the party.
Not understanding that America is only at our best and strongest when we are leading in the world,
and we leave that vacuum, the Chinese will fill it, Wolf.
And all of these folks in my party who talk about how much they resent, are angry with,
threatened by the Chinese communist party, this is the time to send the Chinese communist party a message.
Interesting.
A very important issue that came up in recently days.
The Biden administration will not, repeat, not be providing Ukraine with what they want,
these long range ATACMS, missiles.
When I interviewed President Zelensky at the U.N. Earlier this week, he said to me
that such a move would be a major loss for Ukraine he needs those missiles at this desperate time.
He needs those missiles.
What do you think?
I think that we have waited too long to give them all the weaponry they need to win
the war.
You know, President Biden has done better than President Trump did, and President Trump
did better than President Obama did regarding Ukraine in my view, but here's the thing,
it's not good enough.
He's given them just enough not to lose.
We want them to win.
People don't want these forever wars.
The way to end the war is give them the weaponry they need to defeat the Russian army.
They can do it. They have made gains in the counter offensive in the late part of the summer, early part
of the fall.
Let's give them the weaponry they need right now.
We need them to win this war.
We need to give them, along with our European allies, the weapons they need.
And I want to be precise, the Biden administration is not going to be providing the ATACMS missiles
at least right now.
They may change their mind and do it down the road.
You think what, it's too late?
It's wrong.
It elongates the war.
I mean, look, president Biden has to stop hammering on this.
He was hammering on the Abrams tanks, F-16's, now on these ATACMS missiles.
Let's give them what they need.
Six months from now, we give them everything they need, and they're not making progress
in the war, we have to reevaluate it, but we can't re-evaluate it smartly if we're not
giving them what they need to win.
Let's talk about a potential, could be an enormously painful for so many Americans
if there's a government shutdown, and it looks like there's a lot of dysfunction among federal
Republicans on capitol hill right now.
Is Kevin Mccarthy the right leader, the right speaker to deal with this very important issue?
I think he's the only speaker to deal with it at this point.
You know, look, you have a very small number of people, as you know now, Wolf, four or
five members of the caucus who are pushing it in this direction, but this is what happens
when you have such a thin majority as he has.
He's got the toughest job in Washington right now in terms of trying to manage all of that.
I think Kevin is doing the best he can.
I think he was honest today.
These folks are trying to burn the house down.
He needs to be honest and strong about this, and let people know exactly what's happening
in the country, and you know, let's face it, your job when you come here is not to shut
the government down.
It's to run the government more efficiently.
And by shutting it down, that's a cop out.
It's a cop out.
We have divided government.
We've got to come to a resolution with the senate and get this done.
I want to get to some of the political issues coming up right now.
As you probably know, Donald Trump, he posted a series of social media attacks going after
you.
Attacks against you last night.
He called you, and I'm reading now, a grifter, he attacked your record as Governor of New Jersey, and he attacked your campaign.
He clearly sees you as a potential significant rival.
Right.
You know, he said himself, Wolf, a few weeks ago, I only attack number two.
Well, he has stopped attacking Ron DeSantis.
And he's started attacking me.
You and I have sat here before and had this conversation.
I told you that I was going to gain in this race.
We have seen it in all the polling in New Hampshire.
I'm second place in new Hampshire.
We are going to take on Donald Trump directly.
And he doesn't like it when he's taken on directly, and he's confronted.
I'm the only one on that stage who is unwilling to raise my hand, besides Asa Hutchinson and
say I wouldn't support a convicted Felon for President of the United States.
He doesn't like when people stand up to him and call him out on the nonsense he's involved
in, and I guess he had a bad night last night.
Maybe he had bad Chinese food or something, a little indigestion, decided to attack me.
Keep it coming, Donald, and by the way, if he had any guts, he would get on the debate
stage, and he's got things to say about me, stop hiding behind your social media site,
your failed social media site, Donald, and start taking me on directly.
Show up.
Stop being a coward.
The "Wall Street journal" editorial today said this about Donald Trump's refusing to
go to the second debate next week.
The headline here, "Why is Donald Trump afraid to debate," and then "Wall Street journal"
editorial page wrote this, he's ducking with competitors who could challenge his record
and platform.
If I had his record, I wouldn't want to debate either.
Said he was going to build a big beautiful wall across the entire
wall of Mexico, he built 52 miles of new wall in four years, and said Mexico was going to
pay for it.
They never did.
He said he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Had a Republican congress, he couldn't get it done.
That's not a record to be proud of and what he also led to was Joe Biden becoming the President of the United States, lots of Republicans like me object to that as well, and we want
to win the White House back.
He's afraid to get on the stage lastly because he doesn't want to face me.
