  1.  @gilgamesh3698  Palestine is a signatory to the Rome Statute, and so is Iran. Israel finds those facts very annoying.

  2. Vote for Jill Stein.

  3. They were fake all right. Not much of an actor is he?

  4.  @Omar-if3vd  And before that in 1948. And before that with the aid of the British after the Balfour Declaration.

  5. Trump's just come out and said he would eliminate Hamas.

  6. At least he went out speaking up for the truth. I'll miss him.

  7. Everything America has it owes to workers. The happier and healthier workers are, the better the standard of living for all Americans is. Just check history.

  8. @ It's clearly a joke. Unstiffen.

  9. Briahna was the only reason I EVER watched that show. It'll go down the plughole now.

  10. Or perhaps he just sees American "interests" in the Middle East, or Ukraine, and manipulates his audience like an actor would. Neither of his performances looked genuinely humane to me.

  11. But what is her position on the Gen@cide in Gaza? Is she going to aid and abet gen@cide, like Biden has?

  12. WOw! I HOPE it is WALZ ! 🔥
    3
  13. She said she was that - for votes.

  14. That letter from the "C student" is very telling of Walz' character, it proves he has a record of genuinely putting in the effort to try and help the underdog. That is actually quite rare in teachers, as it requires a lot more hard work and dedication.

  15. I don't know why journalists haven't addressed the 2 TRILLION cubic meters of gas in the territorial waters of Gaza that they were about to develop with British Gas, until the Israelis blockaded it in 2007(with US backing). Or the billion barrels of oil in the contested territory of the Golan Heights. US and Israel want to develop that oil, but Syria keeps sending in rockets to the territory (as it's really theirs). Now the US has an excuse to boldly bomb Damascus airport. Follow the money trade, I always say. The US and Israel are both making the most of this to steal as much as they can.

  16. I stand with the writers; and all unionists, actually.

  17. Max Blumenthal does some decent reporting on this genocide. So does Electronic Intifada. Electronic Intifada are the best of the lot.

  18. Not REALLY a "her." Fake, pretend "her."

  19. I really appreciate how you always back your points with data.

  21. Good on Oprah! First she backs Obama, then Stacey Abrams and now John Fetterman. Her heart is in the right place.

  22. Brutality, monstrosity, callousness, barbarity, savagery, cruelty, viciousness, ferocity, murderous, ruthless, pitiless, bloodthirsty, sadistic.... Words to describe the Israelis, and what they do.

  23. Oh, God. I can't take any more of what America does. I'm not going to watch the news about what they do anymore. F' it! I'm not going to watch the news anymore. At 58, I've had enough of their stupidity.

  24. Who decides how much CEO's are paid?

  26. That's right! I went to watch some Fox News to see what the other side was hearing, and I was fed an AVALANCHE of far right propaganda for days afterwards! I had to stop going there. I just wanted to understand them, and why they are like that.

  28. Whatever. As long as Tucker is tucker for the sharks.

  29. Shelving with actual books on it would look good, and give a good impression for a journalist.

  30. The span of time since 2018 isn't really long enough to judge whether there will be any negative effects of legalising marijuana in Canada. Only a decade or two will tell.

  31. She doesn't care at all about what people think; she'll run, precisely because that will help Kari Lake edge over the line. She's being paid to help the fossil fuel corporations who pay the Republican Party.

  32. His daughter, whatever her name is, was interesting. She looked dreadfully stunned, shocked and embarrassed. But Melania looked furious, and then gratified that Trumpy wasn't phased.

  33. The books they banned had scenes of sexuality in them that were not appropriate for children, whether gay, trans or heterosexual.

  34. I thought you said he would never be indicted?

  38. Yep. A "deal" with Canada has already been reached. 🤣🤣 Trumpy can boast he is the "best deal-maker ever" now 🤣😂

  39. Even if, for argument's sake, the Van Gogh painting had been destroyed (which it never was at risk of), it would have been a minute loss to our collective culture compared to the cultural losses that the fossil fuel billionaires (and their corrupted politicians) have already made inevitable through their irresponsible actions! I say this, even though Van Gogh is one of my favourite painters, ever.

  40. I certainly never said anything like that, in defiance of all evidence, when I was 20 years old ! If Shapiro did, it reveals what his heart is really like.

  41. It really did get noticed by the press, and mentioned in their stories. It takes a lot to get them off the Trump or Putin stories at the moment. The press, and public, need to realise that we are all at risk of extinction. At the rate we are heating the atmosphere at NOW the flooding of all major coastal cities is already locked in. Why does it take an informed, and therefor desperate young person doing this - and consequently being imprisoned - for the press to even mention climate change? Let alone report the scientific reality I just mentioned? I am a trained artist, and Van Gogh is my favourite painter. It was protected by glass, and the activists knew it.

  42. What's wrong with you Americans? Someone tried to have an insurrection in Germany and he was in jail within a few days. You just let them walk all over you.

  43. I'm also getting a laugh out at the grinning, laughing face of the young man in the white shirt, with his hands on his hips. He found that guys cowardice just as funny as we did!😂

  44. The prime minister of Barbados told him off, too.

  45. But they're women, not men, that's WHY they can get pregnant. You are speaking like someone from the Ministry of Truth in "1984."

  46. Does he only speak in quotes from movies? Or does he think the plebs only understand pop culture?

  47. But gay and lesbian pride doesn't rob women and girls of Woman of the Year, national swimming titles etc. Nor does it mock women and girls by prancing around in high heels in nature and then panicking over a bug and falling over, or calling women's sexual organ a "Barbie pouch" (like Dylan), or attacked feminists at their own rallies, or reduced women to their reproductive capacity by referring to them as "people with uteruses" - women are more than breeders! Even a lot of gay and lesbian people want nothing to do with the aggressive trans movement. Gay and lesbian people have never mocked or robbed anyone of their identity, all they ever wanted was equal rights as humans, rightly so. I'm more than happy for trans to have equal rights, too - as long as they leave women's and girls' rights ALONE.

  49. As someone with a family member with serious mental illness, I want to point out that it is totally incorrect to believe that such people only express - when they are ill - beliefs that are already within them when they are well. Actually, when ill they can believe and say things that would be completely foreign to them when well. However, considering his public platform it is essential that it is seen that such bigotry is unacceptable.

  50. I don't like Hasan at all. Cenk and Ana are way better, and Kyle Kulinski.

  51. That horrid creature in the black t-shirt and studded belt is an absolute raving, racist sociopath. She should have been arrested.

  52. I'm so ashamed! I'm so ashamed! This is not in my name! This is in direct opposition to the wishes of everyone I know! Who are the monsters behind this? Why are our elected leaders (most of them) going along with this? I don't comprehend this. I cannot understand why no country will step up and stop this! Do we need to make a people's army? Do we need to start a massive GoFundMe to fund a People's Army? Someone has to MAKE them stop!

  53. America is sick. What a bloodthirsty country. They won't stop massacring kids in school, and they're al for a genocide in a country that is 70% under 30 years old, and 40% under 14. Like the bloodlust in Rome.

  54. I am sure that the Israelis DELIBERATELY tell Palestinians to "evacuate" to specific areas in order to herd them into an even more concentrated group that they can more EFFICIENTLY exterminate. Herding semitic people into camps for efficient extermination... Who does that remind you of?

  55. What are you talking about? If all of the far-Lefties voted Green there would be a viable political party for them.

  56.  @Fiorwestcoast  Probably. The problem is, if she is better than Biden, she can't openly say it before she has won, or the funding will be withdrawn, and the attacks will be merciless.

  57. Are you going to take up the mantle and speak up on Gaza, now, Rachel. Have you got the courage?

  58.  @notachannel7495  No. His BASE salary was $10.2 million, annually.

  59. Rational National, marijuana is a dangerous risk factor to families with genes predisposing them to schizophrenia. As a personal anecdote, I saw a person become schizophrenic one day after the first time he smoked marijuana, and his whole life has been crippled by schizophrenia for the past thirty years. In such families marijuana IS a "big deal."

  60.  @terrencekane8203  There's research proving the connection I mention, but none proving that between smoking weed and the risk of death by falling pianos from the sky. You're neither informed, witty or cognisant of logical fallacies.

  61. Has anyone ever questioned why these "conservative" Republican men (and their female apologists) only ever become outraged at the fatness of WOMEN? They never go online critiquing the way male obesity is undermining the standards of health that are so important to them to uphold in the name of civilised society. Hmm, I wonder if it's because they see women as either breeding livestock, or sexual ornaments for their delectation?
    1
  62. What needs to happen is for laws to be passed that make it illegal to methodically spread misinformation in the news media, as that is how people are being programmed into the MAGA cult. It's not feasible to deprogram millions of people.

  63. You know a 4-letter word starting with "H" and ending in "E" that means "extreme dislike" ? Well, that's how I feel about the Israeli regime, and everyone who voted for it.

  64. She's really disgusting.
    1
  65. That's leaving out entire enormous swathes of feminist, leftist women who are more concerned with women retaining their rights than with men getting even more rights. But what can we expect from men? Not much. You'll never get it. Not even you leftist men. Only small young men who have been in prison understand it. Most men just don't have the empathy for women that it requires to understand our concerns.

  66.  @Macéadrom  That's because she is as popular as a pop star, and people come from all around to see her speak. Unlike how they now feel for overweight, old, Trump.
    1
  67. Is she an authoritarian, or what! Where I come from we vote in our leaders and therefor have the right to speak our mind to them. Although I agree, that was very old-school racism. I sincerely don't even think the old boy would have realised it as such, and truly believed he was giving Jagmeet Singh some good advice to help him be more popular. 😳

  68. I have literally commented the same point - that media has a ten minute sport report every day on the "news," yet they report on climate change, the biggest story ever in the entire history of humanity's existence, as if it is just another story in the news cycle! It is stupid, irresponsible, and, frankly, an ignorant misrepresentation of the facts. Media should DO THEIR JOB and tell people the FACTS. There is more than enough hair-raising climate research to grab their audience's attention, if reporters would bother to look.

  69. Pathetic.

  70. It requires a lot more than a uterus implant, you are damn right it's not your field of expertise! We are not just receptacles! It takes a fine-tuned symphony of timed hormones that a man could never produce, no matter what unnatural surgeries he undergoes.y

  71. Musk is what happens to a person's thinking when their education almost exclusively focuses on maths and science at the expense of how to read critically and research sources.

  72. Same.

  73. It's as if CNN seeks out stupid reporters who believe every reel of spin they're fed. Thank heavens there's MSNBC.

  74. I'm not at all surprised that drugs is the only thing that can unite Americans on anything.

  75. Nobody in America has done more to fight climate change than Elon Musk. His company is rolling out big batteries to replace gas peaker plants and coal power plants all across the world, and in America. It has made America second only to China in developing and establishing solar energy infrastructure. And yet the Left ignores this and raves on about a tiny issue like transgenderism. A minute percentage of the population are trans, while climate change will devastate the population of the entire planet if not dealt with effectively NOW. What is WRONG with the Left these days? Focus on what MATTERS! Why, since Covid, has the Left abandoned talking about the crucial issue of climate change to obsess over sexual identity? I don't get it. Wake up!

  76. Long live Lula in Brazilian leadership!

  77. Sounds like just another case of egos all round. I really think, however, that CNN's fall has more to do with the divided state of America, with people in strict Left and Right camps, so that any attempt to play down the middle was doomed to fail. Unless CNN really chooses a side, they'll continue falling.

  78. She didn't mention the most glaring fight for justice and freedom and human rights in America, the fight of Native Americans against occupation and genocide. But I really liked Joy Reid for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza, despite being an obvious target. RESPECT, Joy Reid ❤👏 I hope they give you a job at Zeteo. I would like to keep hearing your voice.

  79. They began as terrorist organisations in Palestine - Irgun, Lehi, the Palmach, the Stern Gang, the assassination of UN Ambassador Count Bernadotte, the bombing of the King David Hotel where the quarters of many of the British Mandate leaders was, and the Nakba - and so they have always remained.

  80. Look up who Irgun, Lehi, The Palmach, and the Stern Gang were, and what happened at the King David Hotel, and the assassination of UN ambassador Count Bernadotte.

  81. Great. Excellent. But what is her position on aiding and abetting genocide? Does she agree with the ICJ recent ruling on Israel in Palestine?

  82.  @I_Am_Your_Problem  CNN has bowed to the Fuhrer and his fascist minions.

  83. As a woman, I want to point out that men are rapists. Not all of them are, but there are a lot of them that are,. Look at the stats of how many women have been raped. Now you want to ignore our concerns, do you, MEN, and TELL us we have to accept men posing as women (perhaps) in our concealed, close spaces, where it is very hard to get away!? I'm sick of you men telling us we just have to accept this, and that we are hateful for wanting to feel SAFE. Just SAFE. How would you like it? But you will never understand because you are NOT women.
