Whats going on in the World

YET THEY (GOP) DON'T KICK OUT SANTOS??

The Nashville Metro Council on Monday unanimously voted in favor of reinstating Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones back into office just days after he was [ousted for calling for gun reform on the chamber floor. ]('https://nypost.com/2023/04/06/tennessee-house-set-to-expel-3-democrat-reps-over-protests/')

In a 36-0 vote, Jones was elected the interim successor for the vacancy created in Tennessee’s 52 District by his removal from the state’s General Assembly last week.

“This afternoon’s vote is unprecedented but so was the action taken to expel members of the legislature,” Nashville Mayor John Cooper said in the Metro Council chamber before the vote.

“Voters in District 52 elected Justin Jones to be their voice in the statehouse, and that voice was taken away this past week. So let’s give them their voice back,” said Cooper, calling for the council to vote unanimously in favor of reinstating Jones.

Jones, 27, was one of the two black Democratic lawmakers expelled by the Republican-controlled Tennessee General Assembly after a gun control protest on the House floor after a deadly school shooting.

After the council’s vote Monday, Jones was [sworn back into office]('https://twitter.com/chrisconte/status/1645552832731398145?s=20') on the steps of the Tennessee State Capitol.

He was surrounded by a throng of supporters and media members as he once again took the oath of office.

Jones was escorted back into the House chamber by singing supporters who linked arms with him after his swearing in.

State Rep. Gloria Johnson, 60, survived her expulsion vote last week, but Jones and former state Rep. Justin Pearson, 29, were booted from the body over the protest, which Republicans say violated decorum rules.

Pearson, who represents a district in Memphis, [could be reappointed at a Wednesday meeting]('https://nypost.com/2023/04/10/nashville-council-to-vote-on-restoring-expelled-tennessee-lawmaker-rep-justin-jones/') of the Shelby County Commission.

Jones and Pearson have said they want to be reappointed and plan to run in a special election.

“They thought if they could kick out Rep. Justin Jones he’d never again be Rep. Justin Jones — they were wrong,” Pearson said on Monday, reacting to Jones’ reinstatement.

Well I hope when they get there (DC) they are thrown in the gulag with others that are being held and tried for seditious conspiracy. I mean according to their own beliefs, they filled in every blank on the insurrectionist list. Right or wrong? And this wasn’t the first time the same three did this.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Pretty creepy....

And that makes it a perfect 2 for 2 of convictions and sentences of 25 to life which in my opinion is not enough for these horrible pieces of crap!
Angela Pollina gets maximum 25 years to life sentence in murder of 8-year-old Thomas Valva"My only regret, Miss Pollina, is they don't have a garage there, with no heat, and no mattress, and no blankets and no pillows ... nothing that belongs in a bedroom, somewhere where you can sleep the rest of your life, because that's where you deserve to be for the rest of your natural life," said the judge, referring to the prison where she will serve her sentence.

[HEADING=2]‘It Hurts, Stop’: Russian Warmongers Celebrate Beheading Video of a Still-Alive POW[/HEADING]

Russian forces are trying to “sow panic” ahead of a planned [Ukrainian counteroffensive]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/huliapole-in-southern-ukraine-braces-for-decisive-counteroffensive-on-russian-forces') by circulating brutal footage of a Ukrainian prisoner of war having his head cut off, Ukrainian authorities said Wednesday.

Pro-Russian Telegram channels began circulating two separate videos this week that appear to document war crimes, one of which purportedly shows Russian troops chopping a prisoner’s head off and relishing in the aftermath. The victim is clearly still alive as the gruesome execution begins.

“It hurts, stop,” he appears to say before falling silent.

Off-camera, men purported to be Russian troops can be heard cheering on the executioner, yelling, “We’re working, brothers, we’re fucking working! Fucking cut it, break the spine! What, have you never cut off heads before?”

Another man then suggests putting the decapitated head in a sack and “sending it to the commander.”

The chilling video followed similar footage shared by pro-Russian channels over the weekend that showed the beheaded bodies of two Ukrainian soldiers. In that video, purportedly filmed by members of Russia’s notorious Wagner group near Bakhmut, a man disguising his voice can be heard laughing about how someone had “cut their heads off” along with their hands.

[HEADING=2]Head-to-head polls show Trump weakness vs. Biden, underwater approval[/HEADING]
[HEADING=2]Biden has not yet announced if he will run for re-election in 2024[/HEADING]

Head-to-head polls show Trump weakness vs. Biden, underwater approval

Tucker Carlson plays a straight-shooter on television.

From his prime time perch on Fox News, Carlson portrays himself to his loyal audience of millions as a truth-teller, someone who tells it like it is and calls out BS from whoever peddles it.

But it is all an act, as evidenced by his weak excuse for an interview with former President Donald Trump that aired on Tuesday night, Trump’s first since being indicted on dozens of felony counts of business fraud.

Carlson sat silent as Trump rambled and ranted his way through the sit-down, making a number of eyebrow-raising comments on a host of topics that were never challenged by the right-wing talk host. Carlson made no effort to press the disgraced president on any of the issues that an actual news anchor would.

A version of this article first appeared in the “Reliable Sources” newsletter. [Sign up for the daily digest chronicling the evolving media landscape here.]('https://www.cnn.com/newsletters/reliable-sources')

Instead, Carlson sang Trump’s praises.

“For a man caricatured as an extremist, we think you’ll find what he has to say moderate, sensible, and wise,” Carlson told his audience. At another point in his program, Carlson mocked the “Neo-con media establishment” for suggesting Trump is a “dangerous lunatic.”

It was all quite a sight to see coming from a man who has been exposed to hold Trump in great disdain, as evidenced by private messages he sent which have come to light as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News.

Carlson actually “hate[s]” Trump. And he hates him “passionately.” He believes Trump is a “destroyer.” A “demonic force.” A president who was a “disaster.” A politician whose behavior after losing the 2020 election was “disgusting.”

Carlson just doesn’t have the courage to say any of it on television — or apparently to the man whom he privately made such comments about.

Carlson’s refusal to disclose to his viewers his true opinions of Trump reflect the grip the former president still exerts over the Republican Party. Even Carlson, the most popular MAGA Media figure whom most of the GOP fears, thinks it is necessary to kiss the ring of Trump.

It’s a broader phenomenon reflected across Fox News, as also revealed by private messages uncovered in Dominion’s lawsuit. Even GOP kingmaker Rupert Murdoch appeared to fear Trump’s wrath. And it speaks to what could happen in 2024 and beyond.

Right-wing media stars like Carlson might want to move past Trump. Carlson, himself, confided in a producer after the 2020 election, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.”

But the reality is it will be quite difficult to ignore him now that he is once again in the race for the White House and facing criminal charges. On Tuesday night, as Carlson bowed before Trump at Mar-a-Lago, he demonstrated exactly that.[/s]

[HEADING=2]Between the Tennessee Three, Abortion, and Trump, the GOP Just Loves Losing[/HEADING]
The GOP turned three Tennessee Democrats into celebrities, the unpopular antiabortion crackdown is still in full force, and the party is rallying around an indicted Donald Trump. What politically disastrous decision will Republicans make next?

Seen that more than enough. Your guy left hundreds to feel that knife.

[HEADING=2]Pentagon leaks linked to young gun enthusiast who worked at military base – report[/HEADING]

The man responsible for the leak of hundreds of classified Pentagon documents is reported to be a young, racist gun enthusiast who worked on a military base, and who was seeking to impress two dozen fellow members of an internet chat group.

[The Washington Post]('https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/12/discord-leaked-documents/') interviewed a teenage member of the group, who described the man, referred to by the initials “OG”, from their online correspondence, and shared photographs and videos. The Post also viewed a video of a man identified as OG at a shooting range with a large rifle.

“He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target,” the report said. OG told fellow members of the same internet group that he worked on a military base, which was not named in the report, where his job involved viewing large amounts of classified information.
