I wonder if anyone from the Biden administration has questioned the translator about his recollections of the meeting. Presumably, while a President can keep confidential the substance of his conversations with a foreign official while he's in office, once out of office that authority should vanish.

Opinion: The Case Against Israel Rests on Lies
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
More anti-Semitic nonsense from you. AIPAC is strongly aligned with the Republican party. White Evangelicals form the core of the Republican party and they are the most uncritical supporters of Israel. They far outnumber Jewish Americans who actually vote mostly Democratic. -
Except that the interview wasn't about the existence or rise of anti-Semitism in Australia. It opened with a question about Australian ties to UNRWA and then later about anti-Semites being the recipients of government grants. The person being interviews claimed that the government was rewarding people for having anti-Semitic views. Which was an obvious distortion. And of course, the person being interviews is a right wing Australian politician.

I don't know where you got that info from or why you think it's applicable. This issue is Idaho's abortion law. And here are the facts about it: Its "Defense of Life Act" would would make it a crime for "every person who performs or attempts to perform an abortion," even when the woman's health is greatly endangered. Under the Idaho law, the only exception to the abortion ban is when an abortion is "necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman." https://www.npr.org/2024/01/05/1216284896/supreme-court-allows-idaho-abortion-ban-to-be-enacted-first-such-ruling-since-do

In this case, a distinction without a significant difference: "The Australian is published by News Corp Australia, an asset of News Corp, which also owns the sole daily newspapers in Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, and Darwin, and the most circulated metropolitan daily newspapers in Sydney and Melbourne. News Corp's Chairman and Founder is Rupert Murdoch." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Australian#:~:text=The Australian is published by,and Founder is Rupert Murdoch.

You could well be right. But for rather alarming reasons: President Trump went to 'extraordinary lengths' to hide details of Putin meetings, report says President Donald Trump went to "extraordinary lengths" to keep details from his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin secret – even from officials within his own administration, The Washington Post reported this weekend, citing unnamed sources. After meeting with Putin at the 2017 Group of 20summit in Hamburg, Germany, Trump took his interpreter's notes and told him not to discuss the meeting with anyone, including other U.S. officials, the Post reported. The paper said Trump's handling of the Hamburg meeting was "part of a broader pattern by the president of shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/13/trump-putin-meetings-interpreter-notes/2565471002/

I think his point was pretty clear. Some pregnancies are dangerous to a woman's health. Laws like the one in Idaho make it unclear when a physician can intervene to save a woman from the consequences of such a pregnancy. In effect, it means that a physician risks imprisonment if the state decides she has broken the law. In fact, women are already being endangered by such laws. If you were a woman with a problematic pregnancy, would you rather be in a living in a state where such laws make the government's judgement paramount?

Inside Mar-a-Lago, Where Thousands Partied Near Secret Files "Most of the classified documents in August were found in a storage area, which is accessible through two sets of arched doors, people familiar with the property told The Times. The doors are near the pool area, a popular event space."... "Federal agents seized documents, including ones labeled as “Top Secret,” from a small room within the storage area, a space where cleaning supplies, beach chairs and umbrellas were also kept." "Security camera footage from the hallway outside had captured a Trump aide moving boxes from the storage area, both before and after the Justice Department subpoenaed Mr. Trump and demanded the return of classified records." https://archive.ph/AJrNr https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/15/us/mar-a-lago-trump-documents.html

This is false. As the secret service itself has said, it was there to protect persons, not property. The areas where Trump stored many of the documents were not where he or family members were likely to be. Former President Donald Trump allegedly kept classified documents at various places in his Mar-a-Lago resort, including a public ballroom, bathroom and a bedroom. According to the special counsel’s indictment of Trump released Friday, the Florida resort hosted more than 150 social events including weddings, movie premiers and fundraisers between January 2021 and August 2022, when the FBI executed a court-approved search of the premises for the documents. While the Secret Service protected Trump and family members after he left office, the agency wasn’t responsible for the boxes or contents, nor did Trump say classified documents were at Mar-a-Lago, the indictment states. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/09/politics/heres-where-donald-trump-allegedly-kept-classified-documents-at-mar-a-lago/index.html Where Documents Were Found at Mar-a-Lago https://archive.ph/Ibkws https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/06/09/us/politics/trump-indictment-documents-mar-a-lago.html

He also hated Communists and Socialists and had them slaughtered by the thousands. He did the same to unionists. That article is by George Watson, an old line cold warrior. In fact, if you look at Hitler's actual policy, they had nothing to do with the state seizing the means of production which is the essence of socialism. Rather, his economic policies were aligned with supporting the major business interests at the expense of workers and supporting the military. This combined with nationalism and xenophobia are the essence of fascism.

The Dobbs decision proved to be a disaster for Republicans in the midterm. But for some reason, so far, most voters don't connect states' extreme anti-abortion laws to Trump. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/02/trump-biden-2024-election-roe-dobbs-poll/ The Democrats will do their best to educate voters by featuring videos such as these boasts from Trump.
