Trump Suggests No Laws Are Broken if He’s ‘Saving His Country’

(Meanwhile AOC says to her audience they should tune out and stop paying attention to what is going on cus they are going to get mad. Just so you know, AOC calls Pelosi momma bear for a reason. Pelosi was going to be replaced as Speaker so she got together with ad-execs and they created AOC so she could replace the guy who was going to replace her. AOC is a corporatist Dem.  What Trump is doing is a corporist coup. So yeah, she's telling her fan base to not sweat it. At the same time, the corporatist Dems are mad at their constituents for constantly calling and demanding they do something to push back against Trump and his billions in DOGE. So she's telling hers to ignore it all.)

from the New York Times

President Trump on Saturday posted on social media a single sentence that appears to encapsulate his attitude as he tests the nation’s legal and constitutional boundaries in the process of upending the federal government and punishing his perceived enemies.

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Mr. Trump wrote, first on his social media platform Truth Social, and then on the website X.

By late afternoon, Mr. Trump had pinned the statement to the top of his Truth Social feed, making it clear it was not a passing thought but one he wanted people to absorb. The official White House account on X posted his message in the evening.

The quote is a variation of one sometimes attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, although its origin is unclear.

Nonetheless, the sentiment was familiar: Mr. Trump, through his words and actions, has repeatedly suggested that surviving two assassination attempts is evidence that he has divine backing to enforce his will...

Showdown at the Gaza Corral UPDATES

Donald Trump declares "BRICS is dead," claims 100% tariff threat stopped Bloc’s dollar moves

from some greedy fucking website

US President Donald Trump has issued a blunt warning to BRICS nations, threatening a 100% tariff on all imports into the United States if they proceed with launching a common currency. Speaking just hours before a scheduled meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump dismissed the economic bloc’s relevance, declaring, "BRICS is dead."  

Trump did not hold back in his criticism. "BRICS was put there for a bad purpose... I told them if they want to play games with the dollar, then they are going to be hit by a 100% tariff. The day they mention that they want to do it, they will come back and say - we beg you, we beg you. BRICS is dead since I mentioned that..." he stated. His comments reinforce his long-standing position that any move to undermine the US dollar’s dominance in global trade would be met with severe economic consequences

While answering whether he wanted to dismantle BRICS or be part of it, Trump responded, "I don't care, but BRICS was put there for a bad purpose and most of those people don't want it. They don't even want to talk about it now. They're afraid to talk about it because I told them if they want to play games with the dollar, then they're going to be hit with a 100% tariff."

Lebanese Army uses tear gas against peaceful protesters

from al Mayadeen English

The Deputy Head of Hezbollah’s Political Council, Mahmoud Qomati, reaffirmed on Saturday the party’s rejection of any US dominance over Lebanon, stressing that “patience has its limits.”

In a speech delivered at a protest site near Beirut Airport Road, which was called for by Hezbollah against foreign interference in the country's affairs, Qomati stated that “the Lebanese state remains under US diktats, and we do not accept that this nation be under American and Israeli control.”

He added that “the ban on Iranian planes landing at Beirut Airport is an insult to the Lebanese state and confirms the imposition of US conditions on it.” He further emphasized that “Iran is a friendly state” and that Hezbollah “will not accept foreign diktats.”

Lebanese protesters blocked the road to Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport on Thursday evening in response to the refusal to allow an Iranian plane to land, leaving its Lebanese passengers stranded in Tehran.  

Calls to protest and block the airport road spread across social media, condemning the decision.

Addressing Lebanese politicians, Qomati said: “If you choose to submit, the resistance’s people reject the American and Israeli humiliation policy and will not accept it.”...

Israel and Hamas Finish 6th Exchange of Hostages for Prisoners

Smotrich is moving the goal posts.

“The process of emigration from Gaza will begin in the coming weeks,” 

from the New York Times

Hamas freed three Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza on Saturday, including an American Israeli dual citizen, prolonging a fragile cease-fire with Israel that appeared to be teetering earlier this week.

Israel said it had released 369 Palestinian prisoners in exchange, concluding the sixth such swap under the cease-fire deal.

The Palestinian captors forced the Israelis to mount a stage in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis and give speeches in Hebrew against a backdrop of portraits of Hamas leaders. The Israelis were thinner and paler than when they were abducted, but they appeared to be in better condition than the emaciated captives released by Hamas last week...

Over 70 US civil rights groups urge Trump to shelve Gaza displacement plan

from PressTV

More than 70 civil rights organizations and advocacy groups have urged US President Donald Trump to abandon his plan to take over the Gaza Strip and forcibly relocate Palestinians to neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt.

In a letter sent to Trump, the signatories expressed “deep concern” over his recent proposals concerning the expulsion of nearly two million Palestinians from their homeland.

They urged the incumbent US administration to build on previous diplomatic efforts that led to a ceasefire in Gaza rather than to pursue policies that could destabilize the West Asia region.

“Put simply, the ethnic cleansing and US occupation of Gaza would spark a massive backlash in the Arab and Muslim world, drain American resources by entangling the US military in new forever wars, and make the peaceful establishment of a Palestinian state impossible, leading to even more conflict in the region,” the civil rights groups wrote in the letter publicized on Friday.

Among the signatories were the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), CODEPINK, Peace Action, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), as well as numerous other organizations and advocacy groups.

“Gaza is not a ‘big real estate site’ that can go to the highest bidder,” the letter stated. “It is a land that millions of Palestinians have called home for generations.”...

Israel allows more aid into Gaza as 369 Palestinians set to be released

from Middle East Eye

More aid has finally entered Gaza following a tense showdown between Israel and Hamas that threatened the ceasefire deal concluded in January. 

Ever since the inauguration of Donald Trump as US president and his declared plan to "clean out" two million Palestinians from Gaza and "own it", alongside accusations by Hamas that Israel has failed to stick to the terms of the agreement, the ceasefire has been under threat.

After Hamas called on Israel to keep to the terms of the deal if it wanted the next tranche of captives released on Saturday as planned, Trump threatened that “all hell will break loose” unless all the living captives were released instead.

Israel then warned of a "new Gaza war of another intensity altogether" that would "allow the realisation of Trump's vision for Gaza".

However, intensified efforts by Egypt and Qatar succeeded in "overcoming the obstacles" hindering the agreement, AFP reported, citing Egyptian state media...

How Trump and Netanyahu forced Mohammed bin Salman to draw a line on Palestine

from Middle East Eye

... When Trump revealed his plan to own Gaza after the mass transfer of the Palestinians, he said that the bill for the clean up operation would go to the Gulf states, by which he meant Saudi Arabia. This particularly irked Riyadh. 

Trump also bragged that Saudi Arabia would normalise with Israel without a Palestinian state. "So, Saudi Arabia is going to be very helpful. And they have been very helpful. They want peace in the Middle East. It's very simple," Trump said.

It took Riyadh just 45 minutes to reply in what has become known as the dawn statement.

It left little room for manoeuvre.

"His Royal Highness emphasised that Saudi Arabia will continue its relentless efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and will not establish relations with Israel without that."
