Beautiful! Double exposure is rad. Also, given roll and dev prices these days it's a good way to save cash lol

It's true for both Trump and Netanyahu that it's impossible to rule out personal interest in any action taken. That said, one can only hope this gets Iran back on track to be a liberal democracy based on the rule of law. Hopefully Israel and the U.S. get back on this track soon too.

Also: so-called "white" people are not actually white.

the return of an emboldened authoritarian populism. One notable exception might be Brazil's Supreme Federal Court, created by a new Constitution (following 20 yrs of military dictatorship). Do you believe the U.S. will jump from no Jan 6 accountability to a new Constitution?

Incidentally, I don't think Rice is correct. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think examples from around the world in recent years show more of a ratcheting effect, with liberal governments bringing countries back towards a so-called "normal" without having the teeth to significantly impair +

I believe "I like beer" is the standard line of defense.

Not sure what the context is, but agreed. Lyrics are often sadly disappointing but the music shines.

In a different register, it's the same love/sadness relationship I have with Lenny Kravitz: killer groove but disappointing lyrics.

OMG made my day 😂

Due process might make him look weak.

For a sec I thought bus parking in the snow had become an Olympic discipline. Sad there isn't such a thing.

Getting the law applied should not have to feel like you're trying to talk a toddler into putting their shoes on.

Not just with impunity: at punishing costs for the victims and for the country.

When you live in the 1950s it might be the only safe option.

Hate is a big word. Many people know the difference between despising an authoritarian government and respecting and supporting the people: think support for the Iranian / Israeli / Palestinian people with hate for the Ayatollahs / Israel's far right govt. / Hamas.

For authoritarians, the very CONCEPT of a Supreme Court is too much "on the left".

Good old "change is needed look how they dress we need to reform this service from the ground up"

It is definitely a Golden Age---for the select few.

E. Barak (left) and Bibi (now far right) are political enemies but it's possible Bibi's government prefers to keep a lid on any material because he seems to have some ties with Epstein as well. Too bad "the Americans" now also have a hard time letting the truth come out, although hopefully it will.

Israeli ties (and hopefully footage) should definitely be investigated to the fullest. But saying "the Israelis" as the speaker does repeatedly is just as vague as saying "the Americans". Also, being surprised that Bibi's government is not upfront is like being shocked that Trump lied. +

Is there enough data to quantify the cost for candidates of being supported by Trump?

Oh, now he cares about the safety of children...

It's literally a case of buying off the competition then shutting it down. (The competition being the search for truth and accountability in this case.)

Next: Antifa forced slave owners to own slaves despite their qualms.

👇👇👇👇

"this act" = complying with the law, albeit belatedly?

One has got significantly more leverage over people that one knows are tainted...

Some people see the potential in certain candidates to achieve what they want to achieve.

It's actually amazing that these came out. Some brave staffers at the department?

Maybe once Trump has self-defined as the victim (which he always is, it seems), then they have to protect him 🤦

But we need justice for the actual victims.

Totally. No system is perfect, but looking at it from the outside, the Electoral College System sounds really not great for democracy.
