The United States government is a gangster government, filled with violent, tyrannical, garbage people.

Don't Deify Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter may have done good works out of office, but in power he fomented a series of domestic and foreign policy disasters.Chris Hedges (The Chris Hedges Report)
by Jonathan Cook on Substack
“Only in a world of political make-believe would the Wall Street Journal’s account of Biden’s years-long cognitive decline, and its concealment by his officials, count as a scoop”

it sounds like another 2024 trouncing of an incumbent -- #legitimacy matters with or without #democracy. But other details like that Assad's most immediate family had been in Moscow for months are still perplexing.

>> Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?
https://open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/is-trump-really-calling-the-shots
"Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …_"

A fair and important question.
