Nixon declined to give a straight answer is more accurate.
Her answer was "people are saying" when it is well known that Cuba has been an authoritarian dictatorship since the Communist revolution.
The proper answer to the question was "Yes", but DSA people don't like criticizing Communists.
CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country."

They somehow tracked Acton’s birth mom down, found her living in a car with her cats, in a church parking lot, and took her to a video shoot to make vague accusations about her daughter, who she hadn’t seen in 40+ years, being a liar.
Borders on elder abuse.
Like, I wish just once someone would spell out the mechanics of how this works. Are they hiding the surgical theaters in the teacher's lounge? Is the school nurse handing out hormone therapy to anyone that asks for it?
The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
It’s all true.
We are calling it ….
Operation Valkyrie. And despite being German, we all have British accents. Or we are Tom Cruise and don’t even bother with an accent.
Either way, we must show the world that we are not all like him.
If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia.
If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia.
If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

Vance: "I think Ukrainians should stop bombing Russian energy... I don't think that Ukraine should be in NATO."
NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THEIR PRECIOUS ENERGY UNTIL THEY INVADED US!
And maybe, just maybe, Russia should stop murdering Ukrainian civilians on a daily basis, JD?
JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of.
1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.
NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery.
Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units.
The investigation died.
We unearthed it:

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs.
Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.
Russian forces launched a drone strike on a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing an infant and two women. Families with children were in the park at the time of the attack. At least 14 other people were injured, including seven children.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s."
This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.
New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America?
"Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."
Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."

This is a Russian jet-powered Shahed drone striking a supermarket in Odesa in broad daylight today.
This is terrorism. Terrorists shouldn't be rewarded with lucrative business deals. They must be repelled, arrested, and prosecuted.
8 in 10 Americans oppose live-streaming execution of Fort Hood shooter, a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finds www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Donald Trump: "It's called a cog-a-nit-ta-tive test. Very tough."
The test is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
It’s a tool used to screen patients for dementia.
Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
Stock holdings now exceed the value of primary residences in the U.S.
Yet the typical family's home is worth five times their stock portfolio.
In other words, the gains from the stock market boom are going to the top.
This is exactly what ICE said:
"Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck."
Now watch the video.
They're no other word for it: They're lying.
Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man.
The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!"
Agents didn't help him.
And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports.
The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.
Holding a public execution would put the United States in the category of Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia. There were 17 public executions around the world last year confirmed by Amnesty International, 6 in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran.
