CAMERA and pro-HAMAS groups both suck.

"In addition to that, “CAMERA” revealed that it was responsible for BBC referring 6 of its journalists for investigation based on posts “celebrating” Hamas attacks on the settlements of Gaza cover."
Doesn't change the fact that it uses intimidation and smear tactics in many cases.

CAMERA is an "extreme" pro-Israeli group that blurs the line between media accuracy and advocacy. It is aligned with hawkish right-wing viewpoints.

Sorry, but I'm not really interested in reading their critiques of media organizations like the BBC.
And yes media and journalists make mistakes that should be acknowledged and corrected.
CAMERA takes it to the next level by using smear and intimidation tactics.

Ask UAE if "shipping traffic is flowing" through the strait.

He actually wasn't that bad the first 6 or 8 years he served in the U.S. Senate...when John McCain was still alive.
That was a long time ago.
RIP Lindsey.

He sounds like a MAGA plant.
Dumb and floundering in the face of crisis. He is irrelevant now. Let him fester with the shit he has brought on himself.

The warning signs were there with Platner. The tattoo, offensive Reddit posts and complete lack of experience. Many chose to ignore or rationalize it. To her credit AOC never got behind this guy.
Now he’s dragging out his official exit to stay politically relevant. What a dick.

I will NEVER understand candidates that run for office and somehow don't believe their background will be examined with a fine tooth comb, followed by a microscope look into their lives from birth to present.
No one is perfect, but geez Platner knew he had these ticking time bombs. He got exactly what he deserved. Even the oysters are going to be done with this guy.

Trump revoked the Biden initiatives and created a new task force to investigate anti-competitive practices in food-related industries In other words, he kicked the can down the road.
Trump did the same thing in 2020 and the investigation did not produce any meaningful action. He should have built on what Biden started. The other problem will be the incompetent hacks he installed at the DOJ and FTC.

The only upside to this fiasco is that it’s happening now rather than in October.

« on: July 06, 2026, 06:57:20 PM »People upset Trump called to get the red card revoked.
You see - Trump did in fact call Infantino. He called to ask for a phantom red card if the US got the lead so we’d be talking about Falorin Balogun instead of Jeffery Epstein!
Overturning the red card suspension was correct, but the manner in which the decision was made is a problem and reeks of corruption and political interference.
