This is the dangerous use of #UnitedStates #CIA.

If there is low confidence in your assessment, then there is no need for the assessment to be promoted.

The only reason for this "non" intelligence report is to butter up #maga #republicans.

#Republicans give lip service to any oath but when it comes to the #UnitedStates #Constitution , they lie with a smile and their hand on the bible.

While I love Kamala, she was not able to unite female voters to defeat a convicted felon and rapist.

That fact is a huge red flag for the future if #Democratic party elites decide they want yet another repeat failure of 1979 and #election2024.

Democrats need to find a way to appeal to the racist white people in the #UnitedStates enough to defeat #republicans.

The #racists aren't going away. In fact, they appear to be in total control at the moment.

The Senate advanced the nomination of Pete Hegseth as President Donald Trump’s defense secretary Thursday on a largely party-line vote, despite grave objections from Democrats and stirring unease among Republicans over his behavior and qualifications to lead the U.S. military. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #AmericaNews #AmericaFirst #SaveAmerica #trump #donaldtrump #PeteHegseth #republicans

It's time to face facts. #Norway is slated for even more #liberalization. What's this mean?

Basically one of the most bonkers parties #fremskrittspartiet - which is like the #republicans of Norway, in that they lie a lot and use emotional manipulation to vilify #foreigners and #immigrants - is popular with the youth.

That's because the youth are more into individualism and making money than ever before. Essentially we're politically destined to becoming more like the #UK or the #USA.

I'm reposting most of my @TexasObserver stories onto my homepage.

Here's one I wrote in 2022 about Alex Jones. Sadly, as is often the case, Jones is a bellwether of extremist and, increasingly, mainstream Republican rhetoric, and anti-trans 'groomer' bigotry has certainly been mainstreamed. https://kitoconnell.com/2022/06/08/alex-jones-bigotry-groomer/

Alex Jones Seeks Bigotry-Fueled 'Groomer' Comeback

Alex Jones remains a toxic influence on American politics and society despite an apparently shrinking audience and dwindling sales at his Infowars online shop, plus mounting losses in a bevy of lawsuits.

🥥 Rebranding the Republican Party.
Republicans have worked hard to convince voters that they are on the side of working people, when nothing could be further from the truth.
The ascent of Trump to the White House for the second time is a disaster for democracy and a triumph of disinformation, misinformation, and money in politics. 🥥

The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether to let TikTok face a Sunday ban, block the law, or delay it for more review. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/01/17/companies/us-tiktok-positive-turn/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #us #tiktok #republicans #democrats #socialmedia

TikTok's fight against going dark gains support from key U.S. lawmakers

Robert Reich reminds us that Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg are the three richest people in America; he reminds us of who they are and what they've done; and he concludes,

"The three richest Americans want to decide what the rest of us will know about the coming Trump regime."

"The four oligarchs will be paraded like prized ponies before the American people: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman. Together, those odd, insecure, and hollow men control Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon/Prime, and ChatGPT.

But those oligarchs are not mere fascinators on the cap of the Inauguration: They own Trump."

"Four of the world’s richest men will sit on the dais next to Trump's motley cabinet nominees. See Reuters, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg to attend Trump's inauguration. ('The chief executives of Tesla, Amazon and Meta will be featured prominently at Trump's swearing-in, sitting with the Republican's Cabinet nominees and other elected officials.')"

"On Tuesday, NBC News reported that tech billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all have prominent seats on the platform at Trump's inauguration. The symbolism is unmistakable. Those seats are usually reserved for family members, former presidents, and prominent politicians."

“'Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling [or] disappearing.

"No qualifications? Even better!

Republican senators spent much of yesterday’s confirmation hearing twisting Hegseth’s vices into virtues and his negatives into notches."

The Hegseth Horror Show

With the outcome preordained, yesterday’s confirmation hearing of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary was largely political theater. But the Democrats’ points remain important.
Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)

"He has defended waterboarding and torture, advocated on behalf of alleged war criminals, and as recently as November he declared, 'I’m straight up just saying that we should not have women in combat roles.'”

#Hegseth #Trump #Republicans #authoritarianism

#trump #republicans #authoritarianism #hegseth

"His spotty professional record includes having been asked to step down from two nonprofit veterans’ groups whose budgets he reportedly ran into the ground. Questions about his personal behavior abound: He has been accused of rape (he reached a civil settlement with his accuser in 2017) and has a reported habit of excessive drinking, including while on the job and to the point of incapacitation in public."

"Pete Hegseth is, by every measure, an abysmal nominee to run the American military. The Army National Guard veteran and former Fox News commentator has no experience managing enormous, complex organizations like the Pentagon and would, as secretary of Defense, be in charge of an $850 billion budget and 3 million active-duty and civilian personnel."

"Every nominee for a Cabinet position communicates the values and intentions of an incoming administration. If Hegseth becomes Secretary of Defense, it will be another reminder that “Make America Great Again” is actually a crusade on an unprecedented scale to make America less safe and degrade the efficiency of the institutions designed to defend us, to the benefit of the autocrats Trump so admires."

"This makes those individuals more dependent on the leader and creates more space for the leader’s powerful cronies to influence the institution to their own benefit (one could imagine that Elon Musk, who is an interested party due to his many defense contracts, might prefer Hegseth as Secretary of Defense over a tough and seasoned professional)."

"I’m seeing headlines and comments that Democrats failed to change the dynamic or knock any Republicans free. That’s a crazy standard since the dynamic is set."

Sure, the Democrats are the problem. The Republicans have total control, but both sides are — this is an article of faith — the problem. So the Democrats must be ipso facto and res ipsa loquitur the problem.

"in the case of every nomination the question is entirely up to Republicans. Republicans have a three seat majority. They have the vote of the Vice President in a tie. What happens or doesn’t happen is entirely a matter decided within the Republican caucus. It is totally out of Democrats’ control."

House Passes Bill to Impose Sanctions on I.C.C. Officials for #Israeli Prosecutions
