John McCain’s Staff Endorse Biden, Explicitly Because He’s Worse on War

New York Times: More than 100 former staff members for Senator John McCain are supporting Joseph R. Biden Jr., a show of support across the political divide that they hope amplifies the “Country First” credo of the former Arizona senator. Many of the onetime McCain aides who signed the letter share his hawkish foreign policy views and recoil from Mr. Trump’s “America First” politics, which Mr. Salter called his “coddling of dictators or disinterest in our alliances.” Got that? "Country First" means world empire and endless war; while on the contrary, "America First" means world empire and...

8/25/20 Ted Snider on Donald Trump and the Art of Betrayal

Ted Snider discusses the many foreign policy betrayals that have already taken place under the Trump administration. One of Trump's first moves in office—and indeed one of his biggest campaign promises—was to withdraw from the JCPOA, an agreement that did little except to make certain that any excuse for war between the U.S. and Iran was taken off the table. Trump similarly sabotaged peace talks with North Korea by insisting on complete nuclear disarmament before America followed through with any of its promises, effectively destroying any chance of actually getting anything done. Lastly,...

8/21/20 Gareth Porter on the Journalistic Malpractice of Charlie Savage and the New York Times

Scott and Gareth Porter discuss Charlie Savage's shameful reporting on the recent Russian bounties story. In this case Savage, whom Scott and Porter actually regard as one of the better journalists at the New York Times, published a story laying out the allegations from the CIA, but without corroborating them. Scott views this as journalistic malpractice of the greatest degree, since the Times story led the way for all the other major outlets to start reporting on it as though the scandal were a well-established fact. In reality, of course, none of America's intelligence agencies ever really...

8/21/20 Ammon Bundy on Supporting Black Lives Matter’s Effort to Defund the Police

Ammon Bundy discusses his reasons for endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement and their move to defund police departments across America. Bundy, of course, was involved in a standoff with the Bureau of Land Management over cattle grazing rights in 2014, a fiasco that resulted in jail time and widespread media slander for Bundy, before his name was completely cleared when a federal judge finally forced the truth to come out. Bundy has come to realize that many of the efforts to divide people by race and political party are just tactics to make it easier to control them. He believes we all...
