Why is trump questioning kamala's blackness when he can just ask joe, The Decider?

OAS asked Maduro to show 100% of the votes or to "accept defeat". Btw, I think the CIA forgot that Venezuela is not part of OAS since 2017...

Oh, also fellow cocoa-heads:

its joever for

It's being alleged that WhatsApp was used to help track Ismail Haniyeh for assassination. Zionisted by the Fuckerberg?

Sanders Unveils “Moonshot” Bill to Fund Research Into Long COVID

The Long Covid Research Moonshot Act of 2024 would provide the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with $1 billion in mandatory funding per year for a decade to support studies, the pursuit of treatments, and the expansion of care for U.S. patients impacted by the condition.

That's actually the legislation name? The This Has No Chance of Passing, But Sure is Ambitious Act?

Also - only $1 billion?

can't wait for Iran to give them another 2 weeks to prepare their defenses before responding

The protestors in Venezuela that Elon Musk et. al. support have set fire to a hospital tonight.

Hospitals have traditionally been a favourite target of the Venezuelan right-wing

Opposition supporters have burned down a pharmacy in Caracas that catered to underprivileged Venezuelans.

The Governments of Russia and China condemned the destabilization attempts in Venezuela and reaffirmed their support for President Maduro.

Seems like protests have died down during the night. Chavistas will be marching around Caracas today, so we might see some fights, or this could scare off the opposition.

Brazil is said to have received a request from Argentina and Peru, two countries that have had diplomatic representatives expelled from Venezuela after they recognized Gonzalez as the President, to represent their interests in the country.

Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay express “deep concern about the conduct of the elections” in Venezuela and request an urgent meeting of the OAS on the matter.

All currently under right-wing puppet regimes. In Paraguay's case, a one-state party, all the opposition candidates questioned the legality of the previous election lol.

Uruguay, Peru and Ecuador are really funny because soon there will be presidential elections there and the current presidents won't be able to get reelected due to unpopularity. Theres literally an energy blackout in Ecuador rn. Panama elected a guy who was hiding inside an embassy as their president.

Argentina is under an ancap, their opinion is irrelevant. Doubt Milei will last next year.

Venezuelan opposition in shambles

"An Israeli official told me the target was Fuad Shukr also known as al-Hajj Mohsin- a senior advisor on military affairs to Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah and in charge of all Hezbollah's military operations. Shukr is wanted by the FBI for his involvement in the bombing of the marines barracks in Beirut in 1983 which killed 241 U.S. service members"

French authorities have arrested an activist for an ultra-left wing movement at an SNCF rail company site, days after sabotage attacks paralyzed the network, a police source said Monday.

The man was detained at Oissel in northern France on Sunday and had access keys to SNCF technical premises, tools and literature linked to the ultra-left, said the source, asking not to be named.

I don't think the US can intervene militarily in Venezuela. Not with the Russian navy in Cuba, specially the nuclear sub there. And without support from Colombia and Brazil.

Recently, Danish authorities began employing teenagers as "agents" to check whether retailers were selling alcohol to minors. Naturally, retailers are grumpy about this impediment to the free flow of commerce but "I want to make money by getting minors drunk" is not a good PR message so they had to come up with something else. And this is what they came up with: The enforcement of the age limits is making their employees sad and scared, sometimes to a degree in which they have to call in sick or go into therapy.

Won't somebody think of the poor employees who now have to ask young people for ID before handing them a bottle of vodka?

Seeing what happened in Venezuela and Lemmy liberals still defending the opposition really shows how hard liberals have faith in their institutions without question. Even citing questionable anecdotes that said institutions refer to as “proof” of rigged elections.

Reminds me of when Destiny fans kept referencing Twitter posts from “reputable sources” to prove that Hamas did indeed behead Israeli babies.

What I think will happen in the next days. The opposition was saying yesterday that they won with 70% to 80% of the vote, without any irony. They were 100% serious, and Machado, Gonzalez, was literally silent for most of the event, said that the army should stage a coup. Milei also said that. By the way, the opposition was saying that they won from 10 o'clock in the morning, because most of their voters vote in the morning, and they were "leaking" polls and votes showing how they won 99 brazillion votes and Maduro only won 2.

Today they are saying that they won with 60% of the vote against Maduro's 32%, which are still absurd figures. What I think will happen is that, apart from the far-right and really pro-US governments in Latin America. Most governments will recognize Maduro as the winner.

The US will tell the opposition to back off its aggression. They will probably change the whole fraud issue to “Actually, there was no fraud, but it was an unfair election! Because they didn't let the neo-Nazi Ivan Duque personally count every vote!”. The US will maintain some sanctions, but will still buy oil from Venezuela and deport Venezuelans back to Venezuela.

This is the voice of the Iranian people's anger and hatred towards the Zionists who assassinated their friend and guest in their country

[huge chorus chanting in unison "death to Israel"]

If wonder if that pathetic little clapping seal display in the US Congress last week emboldened Israel at all? I mean, Israel already knew they had overwhelming support in Congress… but just the way all those reps and senators completely debased themselves. That had to have made the Israelis feel that congressional rep will start engaging in fistfights over who can give them more money. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fetterman proposes we just literally hand over every US military asset and personnel to Israel.

IRGC report that Haniyeh killed by short range missile. Maybe a shoulder launched missile? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/8/3/haniyeh-killed-by-short-range-projectile-fired-from-outside-home-irgc

I love reading multiple articles about how "provocative" Russia is being by raising a Soviet flag and repainting "peace to the world"

President Maduro remarks Elon Musk's posts to X last night, claiming that a photo served as evidence that NM stole the elections. "Elon Musk, you're so desperate..control yourself." "You want a fight? I'm prepared. I'm a son of Bolívar and Chávez. I'm not afraid of you."

"You show [Elon Musk] a map and ask him where Venezuela is, he'll show you Asia. He doesn't even know where it is." "The Empire, the Pentagon create technologies and puts them in the hands of private people.."

how much longer until Iran finally strikes?

Not that USAian elections mean anything but it is hilarious that the guy survived an assassination , had a -let's face it- very iconic, almost cinematic moment and then he managed to completely f this up by selecting the biggest dufus on the planet as his VP and not being able to shut up for a second. It's like you score from the middle of the court and then your shorts come of for the world to see your tiny dick with a "I love furniture" tattoo in it. Just sit in front of a camera and say "I love Jesus" for 3 months dude and you win.

Maduro looking increasingly right if he did steal the election ( which I don't think he did).

lol

"I want to reassure Australians probable does not mean inevitable, and it does not mean it is intelligence about an imminent threat or danger," Mr Albanese said.

"[But] when the temperature of the security environment is rising, we must lower the temperature of debate."

Mr Albanese said Australians must be able to resolve their differences peacefully and debate political issues like the conflict in Gaza peacefully.

"No one is suggesting people should have conformity to particular views, but the way people express things is important," he said.

"It is not normal to have people in occupations for months outside electorate offices, where the work of those electorate offices is to assist people."

The official terror alert level was last raised to "probable" in 2014 with the emergence of the Islamic State terrorist group.

Fed channels are all silent. I am using my expert judgement in fed-watching to say that I don't think it's happening tonight. If it were happening tonight they'd all be active.
