'Where the hell are we?' President Joe Biden throws down on Lindsey Graham over 'riots in the streets'



In a speech at a Pennsylvania college Tuesday afternoon President Joe Biden railed against Republican Senator Lindsey Graham for threatening riots if the Dept. of Justice prosecutes Donald Trump for the theft of some of the nation’s most-secret documents.

Biden, traveling to talk about his “Safer America” plan to battle crime and gun violence while funding an additional 100,000 local police officers across the country, focused his ire on the Republican Senator from South Carolina, although not by name.

“No one expects politics to be patty cake,” Biden told supporters. “They sometimes get mean as hell.”

“But the idea you turn on a television and see senior senators and congressmen saying, ‘if such and such happens, there’ll be blood in the street.’ Where the hell are we?” the President asked, rhetorically.

Over the weekend Sen. Lindsey Graham said, “If there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information … there’ll be riots in the streets.”

Trump is believed to be under several criminal investigations. His “mishandling” of classified documents including some of the nation’s most closely-guarded national defense secrets, isn’t just mishandling.

Biden also took aim at Republicans over the weekend, calling Trump’s “ultra-MAGA” philosophy “semi-fascism.” The President’s press secretary later said Graham’s threat of “riots in the streets” formed Trump’s “semi-fascism” belief.

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5...

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I...

Trump was hit by glass fragments — not a bullet: report

Image
Law enforcement officials have claimed to two different sources that former President Donald Trump was not grazed by a bullet but rather by glass shards. The officials in question told both Newsmax's Alex Salvi and Axios' Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass shards that may have erupted from the shattering of a teleprompter that was hit by gunfire. Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the person suspected of firing a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, as had at least one person in the crowd. Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots had been fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for injuries. The identity of the shooting suspect has not yet been released. from Alternet.org https://ift.tt/ILgqr53 via sinceretalk
