The House passed a bill today that allows the US to go after the ICC for any judgements 'targeting' the US or its allies. The ICC, you might remember, found Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant guilty of war crimes last November. We don't recognize them or their authority and I sure as hell don't think that our country should be defending the actions of Israel.
After donating a million dollars to tRUMP's inauguration, Mark Zuckerburg has decided to stop fact checking on Meta. That will certainly be a bit help to the misinformation brokers. At this point, I'm seriously considering giving up social media all together. I think I'll stay in blog land.
tRUMP had a meeting today with GOP lawmakers on his plans to make Canada the 51st state. He is not planning to use military force, but he plans to use economic force to compel them to agree to the plan.
However, he's not ruling out military force to take Greenland.
The fact that these plans even have an audience and support is mind boggling to me. It's not like we don't have enough enemies in the world. We sure don't need to be making more.
And yet, here we are...
He's not even president yet and the chaos has begun. At what point do people begin to shuffle their feet and say, 'Wait a minute...this has gone far enough...' Is it even possible at this point?
Honestly, I don't know that it's possible for them to admit that he's gone too far, looking at his outrageous and disgusting history and how everyone is now bending to his will. (or is it whims?) It's embarrassing but also terrifying.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly further destabilizing an already frighteningly unstable world.
DeleteThe friend I'm staying with, her partner has Fox news on all the time...and he believes what they say.....you can't give him any facts...
ReplyDeleteYou can't. There is not one bit of sense in discussion. They want to convince you that they're right. They aren't listening to one word you say.
DeleteExactly so. And so biased about what is going on in NZ as well
DeleteI can't. I just can't.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I know. I get it. It is just insanity.
DeleteA massive distraction for some reason?
ReplyDeleteFingers in ears and la-la-la time again. Crazy world.
