Take two steps back: there's nothing about abolishing the death penalty on the wiki page for Movement for a People's Party which he supports.I'll have you know that Jimmy Dore is the left-iest leftist who ever lefted.
Max Blumenthal has done some great reporting on Israel in the past, it's too bad he became a pro-Assad, pro-Putin hack.
Thomas Barrack has been charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent to advance the interests of the United Arab Emirates, the Justice Department just announced.
The allegations cover the period between April 2016 and April 2018, during which time Barrack was raising money for Trump's presidential campaign and chairing his inaugural committee.
This is the fourth person who has been accused of working on behalf of a foreign power while they were working for Trump.
There was already Michael Flynn (Turkey) and Paul Manafort and Rick Gates (Ukraine)
I'm reading through the indictment now. One of the allegations is that Barrack worked to modify a Trump speech on energy issues to satisfy his UAE connections
Barrack also promoted the UAE during television interviews. "I nailed it . . . for the home team," he emailed after one appearance.
Barrack allegedly acquired a cellphone for the purpose of handling encrypted communications involving the UAE
According to the indictment, Barrack wrote this op-ed in consultation with UAE leaders
The indictment refers to a conversation between Barrack and Flynn during the presidential transition.
So, an alleged unregistered agent for the UAE talking to an unregistered agent for Turkey
Barrack's work allegedly led to a phone call between Trump and an UAE official
Barrack allegedly said Trump was considering appointing him to a diplomatic role in the Middle East and that "would give Abu Dhabi more power!" (He didn't end up getting such a position.)
If you ever interviewed Barrack about the Middle East, he allegedly really wanted you to include his praise of "Emirati Official 1."
In addition to allegedly acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the UAE, Barrack allegedly lied about it when he met with the FBI

Ukraine got Javelin anti-tank weapons from Trump
You can’t trust Moldova! Or Moldavia... I forget which one is the one. Anyway, I don’t know who they are or what they believe but I know they’re up to no good!Not many and they're deployed in western Ukraine.

Not many and they're deployed in western Ukraine.
Trump's missiles also had a do-not-use-against-Russian-forces-under-no-circumstances clause.
But at least corporate conflict profiteers still got subsidized to hock weapons that were contractually obligated to be pointless.
Assuming Ukraine has their own missiles or missiles sourced from another country, the American ones can lie dormant while the Ukrainians use the non-American ones without so many supply issues.Trump's missiles also had a do-not-use-against-Russian-forces-under-no-circumstances clause.
Plausible deniability. "We told them not to use them maybe you should stay in Russia da"?
If Bidens supplying them without restrictions it's a big F you to Putin.
State of Mississippi said:Under the Constitution, may a State prohibit elective abortions before viability? Yes. Why? Because nothing in constitutional text, structure, history, or tradition supports a right to abortion.
So they're not arguing that when a child becomes viable has changed. They're just arguing that when a fetus starts to look recognizable should be our benchmark instead. That just seems like another way of saying, "You shouldn't be allowed to do anything that makes me feel icky."Scientific advances show that an unborn child has taken on the human form and features months before viability. States should be able to act on those developments. But Roe and Casey shackle States to a view of the facts that is decades out of date.
They're also asking the Court to overturn Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). I don't recall the details of the two cases right now. The Mississippi case was actually taken by the Court in May, but yesterday the Mississippi lawyers broadened their case somehow. I'm not quite sure how that works, from a legal perspective, but from a political perspective, they're simply trying to reverse a woman's right to choose. I'm not a fan of "slippery slope" arguments, but I still can't help thinking that the brief submitted by the state's lawyer seems to suggest that she doesn't believe in unenumerated rights (e.g. the right to privacy, the right to marry, etc.*).
