Open massacre of hapless civilians scrounging for food, the optics couldn’t be any worse, what gives? Blood lust, incompetence, insanity, goading Iran?

Clearly Israel is deliberately provoking a backlash, probably against the US. Surely the public won’t fall for another Sep 11.

Megatrons story might not be correct. IDF is pushing back with statements and video. They say they were there to protect the aid convoy. the convoy was ambushed by civilians, halted and looted. Yes we fired a couple warning shots, but when we realized it wouldn’t work we retreated and left the area.

Jeffrey Sachs had a very good segment on that with Judge Nap. Sachs stressed that this never would have happened if the Israelis had not been allowing fanatics to block the aid convoys for weeks on end, with Israeli soldiers protecting the fanatics. That's why a few countries have done air drops of aid--because of the blockading by Israel.

Your point (Sachs) is very true, but just wanted to add the IDF says THEY massacred no one. This whole thing is a cluster f.

“He just sticks to the cards," he said of Biden. "And if you go, if you deviate from the cards, he can't continue onward there.”

More confirmation (as if we needed it) that someone else is dealing those cards.

It's leap day today, ain't it? I slapped my forehead so, so hard, that I saw stars when I read Speaker Kev's idiotic comment about Zhou "serving the country" . . .

Yeh, when I read that BS I nearly threw up!! Biden has been a walking, talking corrupt and lying disaster his whole political career-period. The only thing he was serving was his own self-interest and pocket book.

“Serving the country”, give me a break, just one jerk praising another jerk.

My niece was a congressional staffer right out of college for several years, then she got married had kids and moved away. During a visit several years ago I asked if she missed it, No not at all, they had us so brain washed that we were doing gods work and “serving our country” she then pointed at her son and said, of course now I realize how unimportant all that was.

Just more confirmation of the contempt in which us peasants are held! McCarthy had first hand knowledge of what a basket case Biden is and yet he said nothing!! I particularly liked the part about where Biden uses/needs notecards even in private meetings and if you try and get him off topic he just stops talking. It’s a total outrage that the people we elect to office are so negligent and pathetic at discharging their duties to the point that they know the POTUS is a threat to national security and has made this country a laughingstock but choose to sit on this knowledge and proceed as if it’s business as usual. No wonder this country is in such a mess, the loyal opposition simply doesn’t exist. We elect them to do a job and they stab us in the back every frickin time.

Our leaders are not free to lead. They are servile and beholden to the mega-donor class. Zhou is in the counting house, counting out his money…Blumenthal is very blunt about it.

Aided and abetted.

Shows how much he hates Trump.

Wasn’t there an article recently (Slate or Salon, but never mind) pointing out Trump’s own “cognitive” issues?? Now they’re going to turn the spotlight on him…

The left is always projecting.

Basically whatever they are complaining about Trump, they are guilty of.

So, former Speaker Kev is admitting that he previously got rolled by a dummy. Great.

Q: why have these types of views (public talk about Zhou negatively, policy and competence) come out in the last 4-6 months? The Brits?! and their helpers here. Never doubt the “English Ideology,” those “radicals” who hold on to the long held disdain for the possibilities of human consciousness, and the need to go after their enemies more robustly…all the Brits have left is influence in “media,” and their version of “intelligence” or what is now obsolete.

At the same time Trump’s “tone” has changed. Why? Likely there is something of a “split” within what you refer to as the DS or TPTB and the like. Think of older hands, the few that are still alive and some of their students/acolytes, what we might think of as the “patriot” wing, who have let it be known they won’t go against him…as the peace candidate. Thus all the “media” talk about what to do if he is elected…the real “war” may be the “election,” (but looks regarding elections still matter) but it may come after…the assumption has been that 2024 is going to be crazy…a distraction. But perhaps it’s after…

Doubtful that the media is reacting to the brewing America Firsters, or anything they think resembles public “opinion,” though this “spiritual” retrieval is the most important factor going forward…
