Hillary Clinton tweeted about Trump's speech warning the car industry

"A bloodbath." What would you say if you saw this in another country?

She doesn't allow people to say on her X acct but comic Dave Smith responded

"I'd say Hillary Clinton probably started a war there"

Do you have HDS?
Frankly, not many people even care about her now.
But I'm sure you will keep trying to roast any Democrat. Interesting how you never roast people like Trump, even though you claim you never voted for him.
All you rail against are Democrats... Maybe you have DDS.

“We’ve had ongoing assessments of Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law. We have not found them to be in violation, either when it comes to the conduct of the war or the provision of humanitarian assistance.”

Israel has been accused of blocking aid (really?)

This determination allows the US to continue arming mass murder (Wall St rallies)

Baltimore bridge collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support, don't know how many are dead but the bridge looked like a folding house of cards

Imagine if people broke the law and weren't held accountable for their actions.
Follow the laws and you will be fine. Break the laws and you risk action taken against you.

AFAIK Trump didn't violate specific laws in this case. instead the AG is suing him in a civil case as the plaintiff representing the public interest . So in this case Trump didn't need to violate any laws to be "held accountable for his actions".

the cargo ship that took out the bridge suffered multiple power failures

the ship started out on what looked like a decent course but the power went out and it came on and went out again as the ship turned toward the support. The power came on shortly before impact and the ship appeared to turn away but it was too late

former Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said the reason Nato took out the government was Ghaddafi's efforts at promoting an African gold standard with other source countries and unifying Africa into a union and pushing for independence from Europe and the USA

Wouldn't you expect him to be the very last person to know why NATO would do anything? It's not like he would have had any relevant connections Berz. Does he claim Ghaddafi received some sort of NATO ultimatum demanding that they abandon promoting an African gold standard?

It's worth noting that NONE of the social media companies censored the actual Russian disinformation that the FBI paid Igor Danchenko to fabricate...

I do remember some news outlets wouldn't publish the Steele dossier until after others pushed it into the news cycle

[Ming]

It's worth noting that the maga crowd believes all of Trump lies and spreads them on social media.

Nicole Shanahan has been chosen by RFK as his VP running mate

[-Jrabbit]

Well, we know she likes to sleep with billionaires -- married and had a kid with Sergei Brin, then had an affair with Elon Musk, causing her divorce.
So hey, maybe this will revive Kennedy's fundraising.

You don't tend to win civil fraud disputes if the respondent/defendant did not breach fraud laws, based on clear and convincing evidence

[Dauphin]

New York Criminal law, for example s190.60:

A person is guilty of a scheme to defraud in the second degree when he engages in a scheme constituting a systematic ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud more than one person or to obtain property from more than one person by false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, and so obtains property from one or more of such persons
