We always must remind ourselves of what humanity is capable of, especially when it seems barbarism is gaining the upper hand:

Bill Cosby is now back working as a stand-up comedian after 60 women accused him of sexual assault. Only one case could be prosecuted because of the weakness of rape laws & lack of due process. Has a single mansplainer & opponent of the #MeToo movement posted a single article or even a whimper of protest against the lack of due process for women & children victims of rape?
Did the Bollywood Khans really refuse to meet with Netanyahu?
This is a quite cogent & no-nonsense commentary by Kashmiri Mir Laieeq on the Bollywood Khans, three unrelated actors with the same last name being feted on social media for boycotting the Hindutva Bollywood meets Zionism agitprop selfies event with the Netanyahus:
“It is probably a fake news that Bollywood Khans “boycotted” Netanyahu. When and who invited them to meet? If they refused to meet what reasons did they put forward? Did they give their busy schedules as the reason to not meet him? We haven’t heard anything categorical by Khans about this. Boycotts should be unambiguous and categorical to have any impact. These Khans have maintained criminal silence about lynchings of Muslims in india, not to speak of the atrocious occupation of Kashmir by india. One of the Khans who murdered four people under his wheels was among the first to endorse Modi, the mass murderer, in his run up campaign for Prime Minister. Khans are nothing but the selfish bunch of elite Muslims who don’t give a shit about their own communities, they standing up for Palestinians is simply unimaginable!”

Tucker Carlson on Fox News had a segment on how the Women’s March 2018 demeaned & marginalized white women. Only our man Tucker the sucker can make this crap up.
Glenn Greenwald was once an insightful commentator on civil liberties. But when he forayed into international politics & was treated as the omniscient left analyst of all things geopolitical, he showed ignorance, arrogance, libertarianism, & a profound fundamentalist conservatism. His deep state & Russiagate commentaries are embarrassing & paranoidal when not outright comical so it’s entirely appropriate that he end up as an expert on Fox News. We only wish he had more sense than to appear on Tucker Carlson who is the most vile, racist, xenophobic, & hateful of the Fox News crowd.
