Khashoggi's Ghost

Democracy is the way. Truth and justice matter.

Russia can end the war today by leaving Ukraine.

Less proud to be an American than I used to be. I really thought we were better than this.

Since it's the 25th anniversary of the corrupt SCOTUS decision that guaranteed we'd never know who really won the 2000 election, I thought I'd mention for those of you who may have been too young or just not paying attention to politics then that HBO has an excellent movie called "Recount" about it.

It's been 25 years since a blatantly corrupt SCOTUS decision changed the world.

We may never know who actually won, because they made sure we could never find out.

Imagine how different the world would be today.

Good news on the supply side, as well.

(Or bad news, I suppose, depending on your perspective.🤷‍♀️)

OK, I asked Google's AI, and it looks like things have been improving, but it looks like much of it is from Biden's policies, not Trump's.

But good news on drug related deaths anyway.

Yikes.

"Twenty-seven percent of Americans have skipped a doctor’s appointment or checkup in the last two years because it was too expensive, and 23 percent rejected a prescription for similar reasons. Overall, nearly half of respondents are finding it difficult to afford health care."

Homendy said Section 373 would "reverse safety changes" made after the January 2025 crash, where 67 people were killed in a mid-air collision over the Potomac River. It would also allow military department leaders to conduct training exercises over the Washington, D.C. airspace.

Infuriating and embarrassing.

"The Canadian government announced on Tuesday that its investment over 12 years will be used to recruit and support over 1,000 individuals advancing world-leading research in critical fields, including doctors and scientists."

Meanwhile the US buries young people in debt if they want an education.

Trump's mafia-style diplomacy is not winning friends and influencing people.

"Trump is also a Fox News Frankenstein pumped up by the network’s fawning coverage. He’s always been quick tempered, stubborn and impulsive. He values loyalty over expertise, knowledge or experience.

... he's also always created his own reality with elaborate lies about nearly anything."

"If a territorial settlement is pushed through under these conditions — without Ukrainian consent, under duress, or by external pressure — it will not be a peace. It will be a blueprint for future invasions around the world."

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Swell. Today's mass school shooting brought to you by Kentucky.

"While countries naturally adjust their foreign policy, the sudden descent into boorishly insulting behavior by US officials strikes Europeans—both leaders and average citizens—as simply astounding."

America First = America Alone, and anyone who thinks we're better off alone is profoundly ignorant.

"Meanwhile, after the European Commission levied a fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X for violations of transparency requirements, both official and social media exploded in deliberate mischaracterization of the Commission’s actions."

They're totally lying about what these fines are for.

Caving to a bully invites more bullying, not respect.

"In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a 'Bermuda style' home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence."

Entirely unregulated AI. What could go wrong?🤷‍♀️

I'm sure this won't come back to haunt us in some dystopian sci-fi type manner.🙄

His Silicon Valley donors will be thrilled they didn't give him millions for nothing.

"The Biden Administration forced our Great Companies to spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS building 'degraded' products that nobody wanted, a terrible idea that slowed Innovation, and hurt the American Worker. That Era is OVER!"

WTF is he talking about?

He's made so many amazing films it's hard to choose, and many of them have already been mentioned here, but I was always kind of partial to Déjà Vu.
