It's not whataboutism, it's good to look at the history and motivations of anyone making claims like election fraud. US officials are saying it's fake, the US has a long history of South American political interference, especially if there is even a hint of socialism.

It could have been an opportunity like they had renovations in the building, an agent disguised as a worker planted it inside the wall or something. Or like a plot on a Sopranos episode, feds snuck into Tony's house and swapped a lamp with an exact replica with a listening device inside. Definite security failure for a secure compound though.

She said her mom would say it, the full quote is:

My mother used to—she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, "I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?" (Laughs.) You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

I love that this is on the official White House record: Remarks by Vice President Harris at Swearing-In Ceremony of Commissioners for the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics

Netenyahu himself defended the actions of the imprisoned soldiers, saying anything can be done to detainees without restrictions because they are "terrorists".

You can’t trust the FBI and US officials

This is true though, but I don't see any reason they would lie about this

 

“Every single signatory to this letter treated children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us on a daily basis treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head.”

Didn't you know, it's actually the people critical of a corrupted system that are to blame for said system's utter failures

Why not blame the Democrat Party? They have refused to entertain the idea that no one really wanted Biden to run again until now, with hardly anytime to get people on board with anyone else. They have done barely fuck-all to get people interested in voting for them no matter who the candidate was as well.

Why? Because he won before? There's not a single other person that could run? If this is the case we already have no democracy, let whoever win, it's all fucked.

Who is saying 30 minutes? I've only seen reports saying two or three minutes, I wouldn't doubt that though.

EDIT: new info has come out, it's pretty absurd

Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.

People often talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler. By all measures Trump would like to be a new Hitler and his most fervent supporters see him as that. Is it surprising people would support such an action to stop him?
