#Obama imagine I had done any of this!
“Donald Trump didn’t just walk away from the Iran nuclear deal. He dismantled it, mocked it, and then used the rubble as kindling for a fire he had no intention of putting out.” - @crustiandaily.com
Much like his dismantling of the US’s response unit to infectious diseases, anything that’s not his is considered not worthy. A very good article by crustiandaily on Threads.
#Israel hatte keine Wahl – Zwei Jahrzehnte törichter US-Politik erforderten Angriff auf den #Iran
#Bush spielte auf Zeit, #Obama und #Biden beschwichtigten, während #Trump 2.0 #Teheran mit sinnloser #Diplomatie in die Hände spielte und #Netanjahu keine andere Wahl liess, als zu handeln.
Bill #Clinton, when justifying strikes against the Iraqi #dictator Saddam Hussein in 1998, emphasized that Hussein had used his arsenal “against #civilians, against a foreign adversary, & even against his own people.”GeorgeW. #Bush repeated that…when invading Iraq in 2003, saying that Hussein’s govt “practices #terror against its own people.”Barack #Obama, when intervening in Libya on behalf of rebels fighting Muammar Qaddafi, warned Qaddafi had said “he would show ‘no mercy’ to his own people.”
“The #G7 used to be the G8,” #Trump told reporters, referring to the group’s decision to eject #Russia in 2014, after it attacked #Ukraine & “annexed” #Crimea, a prelude to its full-scale invasion.
He went on to blame fmr President Barack #Obama & fmr PM Justin #Trudeau of #Canada for kicking Russia out, & argued that its inclusion would have averted the #war in Ukraine. (Trump was wrong — it was not Trudeau, but rather #StephenHarper, who was the Canadian PM at the time of Russia’s expulsion.)
#SanCarlosApache Tribe welcomes Federal Court ruling delaying trade of sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed #ResolutionCopper
By San Carlos Apache Tribe, Censored News, June 9, 2025
#SanCarlosApacheNation, #Arizona — "The San Carlos Apache Tribe welcomes Friday’s federal court ruling preventing the Trump Administration from trading sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed Resolution #CopperMining no sooner than 60 days after the government releases an environmental report expected to be published later this month.
"The #Trump Administration had indicated that it intended to trade 2,422 acres of #TontoNationalForest 70 miles east of #PhoenixAZ that includes Oak Flat to Resolution Copper immediately upon publication of the mine’s updated environmental report.
U.S. District Court Judge Dominic W. Lanza’s order 'preclude(s) the United States Forest Service from proceeding with the challenged land exchange until 60 days after the issuance of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which is anticipated to be issued on June 16.'
" 'We are grateful that Judge Lanza has provided us an opportunity to be heard,' said San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler. 'The two-month window provides the Tribe an opportunity to file an amended lawsuit challenging the legality of the pending environmental report and request an injunction to stop the land exchange until the merits of our case are settled.'
"The Oak Flat land transfer was mandated by a last-minute amendment to the FY2015 #NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct that was added by the late Arizona Senator #JohnMcCain and former Arizona Senator #JeffFlake. The land transfer provision, which failed to pass Congress in previous years, avoided the normal course of business and was not debated before it was added to the mustsign [#NDAA] defense spending bill that was signed into law by President Barack #Obama.
" 'The bill that authorized the land exchange is not in the best interest of the American people, Arizona or the San Carlos Apache Tribe,' Chairman Rambler stated. 'We have filed this lawsuit because of our concerns of the mine’s massive use of groundwater, which will be devastating for both Arizona
and eventually the Tribe. We are also deeply concerned about the environmental destruction and the obliteration of Oak Flat will have on Apache culture and religion.'
"Resolution plans to collapse Oak Flat, known as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel in Apache, into a two-mile wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater. Chi’chil Biłdagoteel is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a Traditional Cultural Place.
"Resolution Copper is owned by Melbourne-based #BHP (45%) and London-based #RioTinto (55%), the two largest mining companies in the world. The Chinese state-owned Aluminum Corporation of China, which spearheads China’s acquisition of strategic minerals worldwide, is Rio Tinto’s single largest investor with a 14.6% stake. Both BHP and Rio Tinto rely on China for the majority of their revenue.
" 'We fully expect Resolution’s copper to be exported to China, which poses a national security threat,' Chairman Rambler said. “The United States already exports 30 percent of the copper produced by U.S. mines because of a lack of copper smelting capacity.
"'The Trump Administration’s Oak Flat appraisal concludes that Resolution’s copper will be exported to southeast Asia,' Chairman Rambler added. 'It’s clearly in the best interest of the United States to withhold publication of the Resolution environmental report at least until there is a change in the ownership of this project to companies that are not reliant on China for more than half their business.' "

President #Obama was and still is a captivating speaker with a strong message to the #world!

#trump & Melania will never have this honour from #TimeMagazine..
Bravo #Obama & Michelle!!
I sincerely hope that the next #US #President that is elected will be #Democratic. I have seen over the years, especially during the past Trump term, much pesimism about the state of the country and what we stand for. Yes, the Biden years weren't easy either especially with his takeover during the #Covid crisis, but I have found on the whole, that when a democratic president is in office, life improves for a lot of people. Even during the #Obama years, when I was a kid, I saw market improvements in my own life during his presidency even though I may not have recognized it at the time because I was still a kid and didn't really truly understand how important the presidency was, but I could see that under a democratic rule, life had improved for those around me too. People who years ago didn't have cars because they couldn't afford them suddenly had them, people who were struggling to feed there families found easier ways of doing so, even my own family at the time. The point I am trying to make is, that when a democrat is in office, life really does seem to improve in tangible ways that could be seen even in some of the poorest people that I know, having been in a low income family for the longest of times until things improved in later years for my family and I. My mother for example was able to get her US Citizenship during the Biden administration toward the end before Trump was once again elected president, it was easier for her to do so during the time and took less time because there were more people working to review application forms and more people to do the interviews in general, but with Trump's cuts to a majority of the governments' staff, it takes longer to perform the exact same process. I just ended up lucky, but my brothers are literally still waiting for any glimmer of paperwork. It would seem that the government isn't more efficient with less staff. Now that I am a citizen, I can speak out without fear of retribution from the government, and so I find many of the oppressive policies enacted by the Trump administration to actually be counterproductive toward making it possible to have a cohesive and efficient government available to run the country. He is fueled more by his ego than any constructive change that would help people, he cares more about his bottom line than anyone who isn't directly in his inner circle. The promised savings through tariffs are not panning out as expected, because who would have thought that punishing other countries would make them want to work with you? A lot of this now ties in to the fact, that on the whole, democratic presidents do truly care about the people they serve more than republican presidents. I've seen this in my own life, and I can bet many would agree with me. #USPol
Even as much as I adored this man, I believe I was guilty--like many others--of taking him far too much for granted when he was at the helm.
@jhavok @molly0xfff
Kick the can for another 3.5 years...? Let's see:
#Biden kicked the cans on Netanyahu's Gaza genocide and the fiscal deficit by forgiving "politically expedient" but fiscally irresponsible undergrad loans;
#Obama kicked the cans on the South China Sea and the fiscal deficit by allowing Wall Street to socialize their excesses that sparked the GFC, plus he gave the lonE skuM the SpaceX monopoly and billions of $$$.
Yes, let's continue with #kickingthecan...
#democrats
@helenkennedy.bsky.social biggest crowd ever, #Obama didn’t have such a crowd, #Biden, you know, replaced by a robot, never succeeded to assemble so many. They all came here on this sunny wonderful day to celebrate our great nation and me. And our great military that knows where they belong: under my thump. I myself have never seen such a huuuuge crowd. Maybe at my inauguration. Maybe. You remember where they used to have such beautiful big crowds? Right, in #Nuremberg, in the 30s.
Remember when the most scandalous thing to come out of the White House was that Tan Suit? I miss those days. Happy Obama Appreciation Day #nokings #obama #obamaappreciationday #obamaday #makeamericagreatagain
If you're still on the #BirdSite for some unfathomable reason like @jonfavs.bsky.social or other masochists, it's a great day to post your appreciation for #Obama.
