 The average amount of standing ovations during Kim Jong Un's speeches in North Korea averages about 1 standing ovation per 4 minutes of talking

Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a foreign nation, receives 400% more standing ovations in the United States than Kim Jong Un inside his own "dictatorship".

Disgusting - we are a captured nation

US Senator Bernie Sanders:

"Netanyahu is not only a war criminal. He is a liar."

Tonight, the world was able to see who controls America.

The Senate in the United States introduced Benjamin Netanyahu as "His Excellency" and the entire Senate, both Democrats and Republicans, applauded his every word.

Shameful display of servility.

The biggest murderer and criminal who massacred thousands of children in Gaza in a few months, all of that video documented.

This is like in 1945 they brought Hitler and applauded him.

Now it is already clearer to everyone how much control Benjamin Netanyahu has over the entire political elite in the United States, and which constantly creates conflicts in the Middle East and waves of refugees to Europe.

OT: Why are there no Republicans boycotting Netanyahu's speech to Congress?

Rhetorical question.

PS: Will Massie be there?

PPS: If Congress wants to continue to support Israel and it is willing to assemble as a body to hear the case for More War from its chief proponent, why doesn't it assemble again as a body (in front of a full chamber) and transparently make the case both for and against More War right out in the open and before the American People.

Massie has said he will not attend and be a " political prop"

Elon Musk is attending

Regardless of Hamas' culpability and American political considerations, there seems to be a valid case for Israeli transgressions. Apparently thousands are assembling in Washington to protest the Israeli response. Why is the GOP not willing to address these realities?

Not exactly, but close:

Insanity. Biden-Harris’s DHS is telling Biden-Harris’s political opponent to vastly reduce the number of voters he can reach on the campaign trail. This is completely unprecedented in US history. The gov’t in power is effectively blocking its adversary from campaigning in person.

Behind-the-Scenes, the U.S. Secret Service has suggested to the Trump Campaign that due to Security Concerns, any further Rallies planned before November’s Election be held at Indoor Venues with Attendees being kept to a Minimum.

Trump has an outdoor rally in NC tonight.

Crowds lining up are huge.

Since it was a "suggestion", I suppose DJT can decide. Not like they would protect him any different?

Why can't Trump hire his own protection team?

Tonight's rally in Charlotte is indoors, at a 8,600-seat arena. From the ZeroHedge article about this, sounds like Trump's going along with the SS recommendation for future rallies.

No doubt about it at this point, the signpost up ahead definitely says “The Twilight Zone”. Hard to know what to expect from these people next.

From 3 coequal branches to two branches and a twig? Well, why not 1 branch and two twigs?

Go full totalitarian or go home - the gaslighting is boring, dim and ultimately pointless.

I stopped reading this when once again it Blamed the people. It is the system not the people the elections have been rigged for decades. That talk is causing divide just what the 1% want .

This is like the nature vs nurture debate. It's clearly both the people and the system. The system is almost entirely corrupt now, but it is also an accurate measure of our character as a nation.

An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their own authority; and My people love it so! But what will you do when the end comes? (Jeremiah 5:30-31)

I had the same thought re the JVP folks at the Capitol. Good on them!

Good piece! The way I see it, the office of the President has been empty since creepy Joe stole the election. Only difference is that now they're letting us see that

It's out in the open. I'd like to see some polling on how people see this.

The trouble is while some are waking up, many are still oblivious to what is going on around them. I hope that can change.

I agree it would be helpful to see some accurate polling on this.
