NPR: Trump would have won even if everyone eligible voted. I agree that substantial Trump voters disapprove of current events, but the truth is one in two US citizens preferred Trump over Harris on Election Day. Not to mention turnout was 64% not 42%, so it’s 30% not 20%
yeah that is indeed my last sentence. i’m pointing out that maybe this means capital can sort of back-and-forth this. anti-immigration to get into power and do pro-capital things, then be pro-immigration to get into power and expand labor force, repeat
it’s interesting you point out successful social movements are often aligned with capital, as the major totalitarian thing today, action against illegal immigrants, is action against expanding the labor force. it gets society invested in giving capital power though
i’m guessing those trans pride colors in the sign weren’t intentional then…
(like look at that these are like the only pastel colors)
ah, Deutsche-Welle, Germany’s NPR. they are really good, and they publish articles too.
note that this is a video channel that doesn’t seem to produce articles. every single piece on the frontpage is clickbait. Let’s see if they’re also BS.
The End of Israel: The Ultimate Evidence
You won’t see this on the BBC or CNNThis is just what every Lemming knows about Israel already + “no apartheid could possibly endure”. The video ends on “When and how the system of ethnic supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean comes to an end is impossible to foresee, but end it will.”
I see no original research.
British Journalist UNCOVERS SHOCKING Iran War COVER-UP
You won’t see this on the BBC or CNN
Peter Oborne, US Politics, Global PoliticsThis is just “British journalism is bad”, illustrated with examples from Daily Mail, Telegraph, BBC. I mean, you’re not wrong, but…
No revelations here. The Guardian isn’t even mentioned and I think The Guardian is still pretty good.
Domestic UK affairs are undeserving of the label “Global Politics” and absolutely not “US politics”.
At this point I don’t want to analyze more videos. I’ll just post the headlines of the other four pieces on the frontpage.

1·9 days agoI’m guessing you have examples? I don’t see anything I wouldn’t expect in the closeup in https://www.nickiswift.com/1909492/plastic-surgeon-trump-ear-injury-one-year-after-butler-shooting/
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/karoline-leavitt-shots-fired/
TL;DR: the press secretary used the slang meaning “trump’s fiery speech at the dinner will absolutely annihilate our enemy journalists (with jabs)”
I don’t see anything to suggest it was deflected rather than a straight path
thanks. I’m still confused by how people call it a “stray bullet” though; it was the attempted assassin’s bullet aimed at Trump and hit Trump although not in the temple intended. To be a stray bullet the target would’ve been someone other than Trump.
Note that Crooks is the name of the attempted assassin, not the secret service. He fired at him so I would not call it a stray bullet.
where can I find this final conclusion?
I don’t remember Trump as being “just fine”. I remember a very visible bandage on his ear for weeks.
Edit: Am I wrong? His bandage at the Republican Convention was all over the news and a MAGA fashion trend. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4795636-trump-without-bandage-ear/ 26-13 days is two weeks.
And though the https://www.nickiswift.com/1909492/plastic-surgeon-trump-ear-injury-one-year-after-butler-shooting/ article is tabloid, it has a great closeup of the war. See it for yourself how obviously wrong the ear looks a year after it was shot. No evidence has been presented that he was “just fine”.
I don’t like the conspiracy theories going on here. If it were staged, why would the gunman be off-camera to fire the shots? Wouldn’t we get more dramatic imagery? Everything in the footage seems awkward, not like tense danger. Trump doesn’t even realize (not to mention react) when the shots are fired (which, btw, were in the hallway outside just in case this is how somebody learns that this happened) until 20 seconds after.
A society with an endless deluge of information increasingly known as “may contain distortions of reality” tends to make anyone lose their minds, one way or another.
sauce? there is zoomed-in footage of blood soon after the audible batch of shots.
The bullet that grazed Trump’s ear has been analyzed to death as too close to be fatal from the gunman’s distance to reliably stage. There are numerous more plausible explanations than the one the video puts forward.
- It is obvious that there might be good-looking photos if you take enough of them at any historical event. We already know that GOP campaigners cunningly used the assassination to their advantage for propaganda; the staffer is simply realizing that photos off the vent should be taken.
- At the end it looks more like he’s telling the photographers to keep their distance and pulling them away from Trump. There is absolutely no way he can see the camera viewfinder from such a distance, which is needed to decide on how to adjust the framing as the video purports he’s doing.
- The flag is simply being seen from a different angle. Throughout the video, the cameraman is approaching the gates, and then he tilts the camera upwards and then downwards. The former brings the flag into view and the latter is why the flag also looks like it’s being raised right after 0:36. Cross-reference the footage with https://www.youtube.com/live/Rr63RgGN-Yo?t=24263 (in both footage you see an agent go to the outermost. in the long livestream this is immediately followed by an agent waving Trump’s red cap.), a wide view, and the flag seems static.
there’s a difference between virtue signaling and just expressing ideas/opinion. the one that matters the most to me is that the latter isn’t hostile
oh i thought you were referring to people saying it to illustrate how bad the system is and how important trump winning the election was lol. i definitely agree that it doesn’t justify what he’s doing (even if it legally stands, even if it legally stands, it doesn’t stand socially)
but it is not inaccurate to say nearly half of the citizens preferred him on election day. per the link, pew research shows 48% of non-voters would’ve voted for trump as opposed to 45%, with a pretty high validity.
