I suspect traitors TFG and son-in-law are the root intelligence leak

used by Hamas to engineer their attack on Israel. TFG to Putin to Hamas seems highly plausible to me. I hope this time we don't "look forward, not backward."

and don't forget the treacherous son in law Jarrod!

Our Security agencies denied the Quisling son-in-law security clearances to access top secret info, but equally treacherous father in law over ruled them and the treason weasel got the clearances anyway.

I guess the Saudi's gave Jarrod 2 billion in securities to manage so he could get OJT training, as he has few qualifications for that job?

This is major! This is key!

Please fellow Democracy luvin' DU'er buds, don't let this fall down the rabbit hole. Between TFG and bone-saw advocate solution for pesky journalists son in law, the line from the current Hamas attacks and TFG/Kushner is the straightest line in human history.

OLBERMANN PODCAST


SEASON 2 EPISODE 37: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN


Profound and disturbing. American Democracy is toast. also Nicolle Wallace has a lot of info about putin loving republics sabotaging Ukraine's war efforts and thus triggering a Putin conquest of NATO countries and other Democracies he wants to destroy., Putin real wants a second Trump term to stick a fork in our Democratic Republic.

kushner

Jerrod did finally receive a full blown security clearance via his reprehensible worst president in history father in law. which led to luring Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi to turkey so the saudi's could murder and then dismember him. There's a possibility he was dismembered while still alive. (see link below) Nice guy, this Kushner. clearly shows he's cool with being an accessory to torture and murder.

Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder and President Biden shook his hand four days ago at the G20 meeting.

found this quite profound and right up DU's alley

copied from a friend on a private fb group:


John from Tennessee in NYTimes comments:
You know, sometimes I think about how incredible it would be if we the normal people had as much singular authority as republicans want Trump to have.
Think of how many rights to love whomever you want we could enshrine. Or bodily autonomy. How we could dismantle institutions designed to stifle progress like the electoral college and create a democracy where you don't get 40x the vote if you live in Nebraska vs California. How we could bring the Supreme Court in line with the rest of the western world with more Justices who are held to account if they overreach.
How many resolutions we could pass to protect the environment and make serious progress towards a new generation of green economic growth. How we could restore the progressive taxes of our past, and ensure that those benefitting the most from society also contribute the most. How many protections we could put in place for our scientific experts to be able to act with independence and autonomy, and ensure that public research benefits the public first and foremost.
All of these things have overwhelming public support, but cannot and will never be passed by institutions designed to benefit the interests of the wealthy and reactionary. So I say, let's embrace getting things done and bypassing institutions that are not and have never been democratic so that we can finally make them so.
The public support for this, in poll after poll, is tremendous. The people are crying out for change. Let's give it to them.

end of c&p

I must re-read and absorb this cogent assessment of America's current state of public affairs. Really hits home about how far we've been driven off course from the ideals of what America could be. decades of greed and corruption has killed the golden goose of what we could have been.

Keith Olbermann's 4/28/2023 podcast

I've been a Keith fan since his first MSNBC show in the early 2000's. His insight into modern mass media is profound. Keith is a NATIONAL TREASURE. Plus, he guested a lot of comedians. Anybody that mentions the old Bob & Ray radio show, which my parents used to listen to, not to mention second gen Chris Elliot, is still at it with adult swim fifteen minute vignettes Enjoy! -90% Jimmy

PS, I know he is considered by some to be "difficult to work with". I don't care. Hes one of the most credible journo's we currently have.

About 90-percent

Gee - my profile info didn't migrate from the old DU I guess? The main thing - 90% refers to the maximum allowable percentage of nitromethane fuel permitted in modern NHRA Top Fuel and Funny cars. Which is what makes current "nostalgia nitro" so cool - you can still "tip the can" and run straight nitro, if you want to. I'm an aging northeast liberal with an overdeveloped justice gland. OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH GREEDY AND CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS
