Hillary praised his foreign policies!!! Bill is the one in the Epstein files, but she's the one kissing the ring? Less about being a media-diversion and more about pleading with their old friend to not sic the government on them/a promise to hold their lips on what they've seen him do. #Epsteinfiles

Biden should have put pedal to metal as soon as SCOTUS said "immunity." There were countless ways he could've legally pushed SCOTUS to fess up and declare the president *not* totally immune. But alas, he had a picture of his legacy fixed in his addled brain and he couldn't acknowledge reality.

Every genocide has happened because the aggressor has been able to convince themselves about the righteous nature of exterminating those they've deemed a threat. Anyone and anything that threatens their identity rises to an existential crisis, and must be dealt with through unyielding force.

If you are suffering as a customer during a strike, that is because management is intentionally passing on the suffering to you, which means you have common cause with the workers. This is so whether the management is of an airline, a hospital, or a retail establishment.
