This should be common sense. The more I tried to understand US democratic setup the more I feel it needs a lot of reform.

Jeff Bezos stops Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris for US President

The Washington Post was in turmoil Friday after its owner Jeff Bezos ordered its journalists to censor its endorsement of Kamala Harris.

His move was revealed by the newspaper’s own reporters—as one of its star writers, policy expert Robert Kagan, quit and its legendary former editor Marty Baron erupted in rage.

The billionaire Amazon founder stopped the publication of an endorsement of the Democratic candidate which its editorial board had already written, the paper reported.

Within hours Kagan, a veteran editor-at-large quit in disgust, Semafor reported. The dramatic move was called “cowardice” by its Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-editor, Baron. One of the paper’s star reporters, Ashley Parker, called it “a new type of October Surprise.”

The sudden move 11 days before the election caused shockwaves, and came despite the paper endorsing local candidates.

It plunges The Washington Post into the same kind of civil war which is already engulfing The Los Angeles Times whose billionaire owner also stopped a Harris endorsement.

williams wrote: 25 Oct 2024 23:22 BRICS summit shows a bit of active alignment if US goes through the drain. If Trump wins, we need to study his cabinet a bit. If he places technocrats in the state dept, then we can reasonably deal with it. If Kamala wins, then it is going to be pretty much the same as today. Namo team has done a good job in keeping all the cards ready for any eventuality. I don't think there will be much violence post election. Sure there will be some drama, but US is quite a large country to go down the drain quickly. But my gut feel is Trump will win. Kamala is not going to be seen as someone different than Biden in the last few weeks and that means she is going to lose. I hear some of the people's argument against Trump, but those are old arguments and I think the electorate has already digested those arguments. Right now, the margins favor Trump.
William-ji,

Go back to the 2016 Trump victory. There was rioting across several cities on Nov. 9th. Portland, OR was one of the worst. In the summer of 2020, during Covid, the BLM movement was used by the Democratic Party to forcibly remove Trump. So much so, that protestors were trying to attack the WH and locations in Washington DC. Even Kamala Harris is on record encouraging such "protests". Should Trump win this time in 2024, there is a very real possibility that there will be violence; however, it may come from the current regime. I am convinced they will not allow Trump back to power under any circumstances. The US situation will deteriorate like Justinder Castroputra's Kanedda.

^^This is my suspicion as well. I am sure all the groups who don't want DTJ to be the next POTUS have gamed multiple scenarios and have come up with plans. First time in 2016, it was unexpected but this time, in 2024, they are ready.

Sure there is going to be some violence. But Democrats know they need to survive until midterms to regain some ground and therefore cannot over do it. However Democrats are now run by the crazy part of the left so you never know.

Is it confirmed Bezos intervened? US news papers have a huge issue with losing readership and ad revenues. Probably WP does not want to antagonize half of the country by endorsing Kamala.

Lisa ji,


In many countries this guy walks into the president/PM office without notice or appointment, dictates desired policy changes and/or amendments to existing laws (that were/are very often made) to accommodate his business interests and shut out all other competition. He is not used to being refused by mere mortals or even president/PM

that rapacious approach hasn't worked so well for him with Modi ji's India

no surprises that he is mightily chuffed with India

be it biden, mylapore maami or even trump at the helm, his predatory business tactics have not / will not work(ed) as long as Modi ji's govt is around

but the fact remains that an overwhelming majority of the Indian population do not use the services of amazon. Our kirana system is far easier to access, very much more convenient, and often more efficient. Many now offer free home delivery services even for a 10 rs packet of salt.

It is this kirana system that amazon and other amazon like cannibalistic logistics management companies and conglomerates seek to target, destroy and ultimately replace with their monopoly and price gouging services

I think the major khujli with Bezos type is the 4T tax bill that Mami is promising, which is a big no-no. Wealthy people are not used to the Govt dictating terms, it is always the other way about like Chetak saar has pointed out. Many people in the US are not used to dumbo types who cannot answer Q&A properly on TV channels, mami's upstairs is devoid of anything and it shows. Her convoluted mugged up answers are obvious for anyone to discern, she is a fake. But the dumbocrats are willing to vote her into office, stage managed by the Gehra Rajya, this fits the Gehra Rajya to a T.

Cyranoji,

Please watch the whole thing. Trump himself said he makes a big weave of stories to relate. For media sound bites it’s not good, but his rambling is actually a long story.

Yes.
One of the editors resigned too
That editor is Robert Kaglan, husband of Victoria Nuland (a.k.a cookie monster) who was behind the 2014 coup in Ukraine and one of those behind the
Ukraine policy of the Biden admin - fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Nuland resigned earlier. If Kaplan is also out, I think it implies that there is going to be a change in Ukraine policy with less influence of Neocons.

Glad to hear it. 8) 👍

I'm starting to be cautiously optimistic for the GOP. Not because of the public polls (which are probably bogus anyway) but because of the public dispositions / attitudes of the 2 sides. Both sides have their internal polling results which are likely very accurate (and quite expensive). GOP appear to be relaxed and confident, Dems are snarling, angry, screeching on and on about Hitler / Fascists / Mussolini.

At this point, the only things preventing me from confidently predicting a big GOP win are:
  • The grudging respect I have for the Democrat Fraud Machine -- these guys are very good at what they do; and
  • I never underestimate the ability of Republican rank-and-file members to screw up a sure thing and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You talk things like complacency, apathy, just general goof-baggery (like not voting because they consider themselves too morally pure and righteous to participate in a corrupt system) -- these are all present in non-trivial numbers among Republicans. Democrats never make this ridiculous own-goal mistakes.

I've only heard Usha Vance speak once, at the RNC, and she was very impressive.
There is another Khalistani lawyer in California who almost reached the level of RNC head. She still carries a lot of weight in Republican circles.
If you are speaking of Harmeet Dhillon, she is very impressive in TV interviews etc. I don't know anything about Khalistani support, etc. Never heard about that.

Harmeet Dhillon is an attorney out of CA & has expressed support for “farmers protest” in NCR in the past. She’s very careful not to say stupid things for fear of lawsuits. However, based on her Tweets, it appears she supports and/or is supported by Khalistani terrorists in CA. I don’t trust her at all. How deeply she’s tied into the RNC, I don’t know, but she has represented Trump when he was sued for some made up charges.

Unbelievable that how these murderous thugs have spread their tentacles in media, social media, google, Meta. Same narratives in India. It's not just power. It's the mind control of billions

You can see how Musk behaves in an exaggerated way -- perhaps because he himself as cosmopolitan jetsetting urbanite has some exaggerated caricatured perceptions of his conservative audience?

first started by Hillary
This woman accuses others of what she and hubby Bill actually do in practice. Remember the Russian hoax perpetrated on DJT by Hillary and her cohorts in SD, CIA, FBI, etc i.e., Gehray Rajya and they used a BritishShit blabberer from BritShit Secret Raj. Britshits are excellent brain farters of the highest kind, their entire history of India Raj rule & other worldly conquest accounting is full of fanciful tales meant to confuse everyone while they looted and killed millions. All the things that Bill did was heaped upon DJT and DJT would jokingly threaten if he were to disclose in public what Bill did in private. Bill started the practice of sleepovers at the White house and a good many ladies availed the facility of the WH.

The real Nazis are the Gehra Rajya and their secretive backdoor dealings. Pretty much all illegal activities in the world are conducted by the Gehra Rajya, nothing they do is on the books (absolutely no evidence can be traced towards them) but everyone is quite aware of their nefarious outcomes (people ain't that stupid!), since human intelligence is above machines/AI/automatons/etc.

Charlotte Clymer's PAC AllVote ran a voter suppression scam targeting voters in the swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Arizona. The victims were sent text fake messages stating that they've already voted, or that they're not registered to vote as part of a personal information phishing scam.

Previously known as Charles, @cmclymer is a "Women for Kamala" surrogate and leftist trans activist. Clymer refused to disclose who was behind Clymer's shadowy group, saying the PAC fears "being targeted by the far-right."
