Echoes of #Jan6 committee as Jack Smith foreshadows plan to tie Trump to Capitol attack

#JackSmith plans to show at trial that #Trump’s knowledge of the riot while it was ongoing — his stoking of an angry crowd & his post-J6 whitewashing of its conduct — proves he intended to use the mob’s chaos to advance his conspiracies to stay in power. #TrumpIndictment https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/09/donald-trump-jan-6-riot-defendant-00126258

I’m all out of WaPo gift articles for the month because I try and share so many but it sure is, Mr. Milbank. It sure is.

Most of the Jewish Americans I know have a living memory of relatives or very recent ancestors who suffered unbelievable antisemitic violence in pogroms or in the Shoah. Most are also anti-Netanyahu and for a genuine multi-state solution. Not that it seems to matter.

@AlliFlowers @SrRochardBunson I grew up a pastors daughter. We were Protestant until I was ten when we converted to Eastern Orthodox. I'm not trying to be rude, but from my own experiences; the idea that the rivalry between denominations (in North America at least) is even comparable to the complete dismissal of groups like Jews, Muslims or Indigenous nations, is so absurd it's almost offensive.

There’s going to be so much right-wing violence and terror next year. I don’t think people are ready for what’s coming.

Two F-15 fighter jets struck a facility used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups in retaliation for at least 38 attacks on U.S. troops between Oct. 17 and Nov. 7 in Iraq and Syria, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said.

Republicans want to re-brand their crusade against women. Let’s review some facts:
Fact 1: multiple GOP politicians have suggested jailing women for life or executing them for having an abortion.
Fact 2: multiple GOP states have local or state laws restricting women from traveling to other states for abortions.
Fact 3: multiple states under GOP control have abortion laws with identical overly broad and scientifically illiterate text that bans life-saving emergency procedures.

Awful. There's *no excuse* for baiting/trolling/racism/antisemitism etc..
Dealing with those 'people' is frustrating and exhausting.

Joe Biden Refuses To Resign After Democrats’ Humiliating Night Of Wins

https://www.wonkette.com/p/joe-biden-refuses-to-resign-after

Once again President Biden won the GOP debate. These Republican challengers are a sad joke. Trump will lose to Biden again—hopefully while Trump watches election returns from his prison cell.

@Balkingpoints @Bam We wouldn’t be having to do any of this had people actually listened. Unfortunately, there aren’t do overs. Hope people can remember that moving forward.

#Bosnia-#Herzegovina in the #Balkans has so many ethnic groups and divisions, #EU is asking it to speak "with one voice" as a precondition to #EUMembership.

#MiddleEast & #Ukraine aren't the only #tinderbox. Ethnic and political divisions in Bosnia-Herzegovina persist after the #genocide of over 100,000 people in the 1992-1995 #BalkanWar.

Bosnia’s #Serbs openly want to secede from Bosnia. #US and #Britain have slapped them with sanctions for harboring those ambitions.
