'Person without dollars': Pelosi thinks Putin has 'something financial' on Trump



During a Monday, February 19 conversation with MSNBC's Jen Psaki, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) shared her thoughts on former President Donald Trump's loyalty to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump has been criticized for not commenting — until today — on the Friday, February 17 death of Putin critic Alexei Navalny.

The MAGA hopeful wrote on social media Monday, "The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country. It is a slow, steady progression, with crooked, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are destroying America. We are a nation in decline, a failing nation!"

Longtime political commentator Bill Kristol emphasized, "Trump refuses to condemn Putin for the murder of Navalny. During the Cold War, many fellow travelers at least pretended to condemn the 'excesses' of the Soviet Union. But Trump isn’t equivocating. He’s all in for Putin."

Speaking with Pelosi, Psaki said, "We're all wondering this question, Speaker Pelosi. What do you think Putin has on him? It certainly seems like something, as you said a few times, given that he refuses to criticize him, that he seems to be a fanboy of him."

Pelosi replied, "First of all, we must be sure that he does not stop one foot into the White House. Not as president, not as anything. He has brought disgrace to the white house, to these presidents. I talked about George Washington, it's also presidents' week for Abraham Lincoln. When Abraham Lincoln died, it was embroidered in his coat that night, at that theater. 'One country, one destiny.' And he gave his life to unify our country. And now, we have someone who had the honor of serving in the white house. didn't consider it an honor. didn't consider his oath of office to protect and defend the constitution. And this week, speaking out the way he did — he is a person without values. He looks like he's going to be a person without dollars, either. But the values are what concern us. I don't know what he has on him, but I think it's something financial."

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
