Above photo: Advocates for the closure of the prison at Guantánamo Bay, including Roger Waters, call on President Biden to close it on the 20th anniversary of its opening, Jan. 11, 2022. Check out all the photos here. It is, to be blunt, beyond dispiriting to have to be calling for the closure of the tired and discredited “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay 20 years — 7,306 days — since it first opened. The prison, as I have long explained, is a legal, moral and ethical abomination, and every day that it remains open ought to be a source of shame to […]

What is the evidence nearly a year into the alleged Biden presidency that there has been a change of guard in Washington? Donald Trump thinks he’s still president according to no more reliable a source than Rachel Maddow on her February 5th show. This was confirmed in May by Vanity Fair.

Dear President Joseph Biden, Twenty years ago today, your predecessor signed into law an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Many in Congress understood themselves as voting for the impending invasion of Afghanistan, but the Bush Administration was launching a Global War on Terror in which the whole world is the battlefield. Since its passage, the AUMF has been used to justify military actions in at least nineteen countries. The domestic United States was also declared part of this global battlefield. Citing war time authorities, the Bush Administration claimed it could […]
Before he stole $169 million and fled his failed state in disgrace, Afghanistan’s puppet President Ashraf Ghani was formed in elite American universities, given US citizenship, trained in neoliberal economics by the World Bank, glorified in the media as an “incorruptible” technocrat, coached by powerful DC think tanks like the Atlantic Council, and given awards for his book “Fixing Failed States.” No individual is more emblematic of the corruption, criminality, and moral rot at the heart of the 20-year US occupation of Afghanistan than President Ashraf Ghani.

President Donald Trump continued his attacks on Michigan Gov.

[Whitmer] wants to be a dictator in Michigan and the people can’t stand her,” Trump said Thursday in a FOX Business interview. Blasting Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, he insisted people “want to get back to work.” The president has repeatedly attacked Whitmer even after authorities announced last week charges against more than a dozen individuals who allegedly […]

At the beginning of October, young white farmer Brendin Horner was brutally murdered in South Africa’s Free State. Two black suspects have now been charged in relation to his killing, with the court hearing on the case witnessing riots from pressure groups which see Horner’s death as ethnically motivated. South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected claims that recent attacks on farmers should be viewed as racial actions, according to his comments distributed in a weekly newsletter. “Contrary to the irresponsible claims of some lobby groups, killings on farms are not ethnic cleansing”, the President wrote. “They are not genocidal.

President Donald Trump boasted on Sunday morning that his recent fight with coronavirus has made him “immune” to COVID-19 and therefore a better president, speaking about himself in the third-person while declaring he’s in “very good shape to fight the battles.” Calling into pro-Trump Fox News host Maria Bartiromo for the second time in four days, the president hyped up the recent statement from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley—who has admittedly lied about the president’s coronavirus diagnosis in the past—that claims he is no longer considered a transmission risk. “Does this suggest you no longer have COVID, sir?” Bartiromo asked.

The headlines said it was a disgrace, a national embarrassment, and a shitshow, but the debate wasn’t any of those things. Donald Trump was, and why don’t we say so?

Putting all that on the debate, rather than the president, lets him off the hook for behavior so frightening that parents who let their kids stay up to watch rushed them off to bed early.
