Or, you know, at least one of them. When she was the attorney general of California, this obviously innocent and framed man tried to get some new DNA tests done on the murder weapon and she fought him. That makes her an accessory to murder if his execution ever goes through. Oh, but now she tells the NYT that she hopes things work out.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula attacks Yemeni "government" military base, kills 19 soldiers.
Gordon Prather, former nuclear weapons physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, discusses unsubstantiated claims Iran is secretly building nukes, the IAEA going beyond the scope of their mandate in Iran dealings, Bill Clinton's broken promises regarding N. Korea's nuclear program, accusations that Iran is pioneering new nuclear weapons designs, overstated dangers of EMP attacks and the indignant U.S. attitude toward Iran designed to provoke withdrawal from the NPT and IAEA programs.
Scott interviews Muhammad Sahimi about President Trump's new sanctions on Iran, which are even stricter than those imposed by President Obama, since they eliminate some of the previous waivers and cover even necessary goods like food and medicine because, even though not technically sanctioned, the financial institutions necessary to broker any kind of deal are not willing to operate in Iran for fear of legal action by the U.S. government. Sahimi likens these sanctions to those placed on Iraq in the 1990s, which the UN estimated led to the excess deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi...
Mike Swanson discusses the recent announcement that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates again. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has said this is a precautionary measure against a possible recession, of which there have been early signs over the last few months. The dangerous thing, says Swanson, is what happens if there is a recession even after this move—with rates already so close to zero percent, what more can the Fed do? Unfortunately it would probably mean huge inflationary measures that could wipe out the savings of average Americans. Discussed on the show: "Today’s Federal...
David Stockman reminds us how flimsy the "Russiagate" case has been from the very beginning, and that we should really be focusing on how the investigation even got started in the first place. Stockman claims that President Trump's idea that it would be better to cooperate with Russia rather than continue a new Cold War with them was intolerable to the ruling class, who want America to remain undisputed atop the world geopolitical hierarchy, which means policing the globe and flexing our military might at every opportunity. The Russiagate investigation has been nothing but an elaborate...
These idiots. The best they can do is claim that Tulsi Gabbard is some kind of "Russian agent!" and that oh, no, "some rightwingers like her." But what do these rightwingers or libertarians like about her? That she's (relatively) antiwar! That is supposed to be self-evidently horrible? But who's buying that? The more obvious frame would be, "Wow, look how much more horrible liberals are on war now when you even have all these libertarians and conservatives who want to call it off." I think the Democratic Party voters of America do not agree and do not want to be worse than any rightwingers...
See, it's a proven scientific fact.
