Sve što mu se ne sviđa, od humanističkih nauka do pomoći saveznicima, proglasio je bacanjem para.

No, Mayor, you’re not “more of a Jew than Soros.” You’re entitled to your views, and to denouncing his. But it’s offensive to deny anyone’s faith, and worse to endorse classically antisemitic conspiracy theories.https://t.co/NnXrK2MRDt

Chelsea Manning is still in prison, since May 2019, for refusing to testify against Assange before a grand jury whose legitimacy she doesn’t recognize, and is fined $1K/day, owing nearly half a million $ to the government by the time her sentence is over.

Because the victims were Orthodox and the perps largely people of color, these hate crimes saw little to no coverage by top media until they escalated to mass-murder.pic.twitter.com/3MVvXZofYD

But from our darker vantage point, what really sticks out is Stewart’s denialism. The backlash to Obama was a terrifying expression of the anxieties—both racial and otherwise—gripping America’s increasingly unhinged conservatives. Bill Maher, of all people, got this. “When Jon announced his rally, he said the national conversation was dominated by people on the right who believe Obama’s a socialist and people on the left who believe 9/11’s an inside job,” Maher said on his show. “But I can’t name any Democratic leaders who think 9/11’s an inside job. But Republican leaders who think Obama’s a socialist? All of them.” 

Bloomberg calls Sanders describing Soleimani killing an assassination “outrageous.”
Asked how it should be described, he said: “get a dictionary and take your pick.”

JUST IN | Surveillance footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell during his suicide attempt was destroyed, prosecutors say.https://t.co/gsdM6eOnX6

— New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) 09. јануар 2020.

Surveillance footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell during his suicide attempt was destroyed, prosecutors revealed Thursday.
The revelation in a letter filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold is the latest head-spinning disclosure from the feds about the footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center on July 22 and 23. Epstein attempted to hang himself that night while sharing a cell with accused quadruple murderer Nick Tartaglione, officials have said.
Swergold initially said last month in White Plains Federal Court that the video had not been preserved. He reversed himself less than 24 hours later, saying it had been archived.
Now, the feds say that due to a record-keeping error, MCC staff preserved footage from outside the wrong cell.

“The footage contained on the preserved video was for the correct date and time, but captured a different tier than the one where Cell-1 was located because the preserved video did not show corrections officers responding to any of the cells seen on the video. After speaking with MCC legal counsel, the Government was informed that the MCC computer system listed a different, incorrect cell for Tartaglione,” prosecutors wrote in a letter filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
Even worse, there was a backup system for the video footage, but that wasn’t working, either.
“The requested video no longer exists on the backup system and has not since at least August 2019 as a result of technical errors,” the prosecutors wrote.
