#Labour must stop cosying up to #Trump, #Starmer has been warned

It comes after PM said he understood what the president cares about and that they had bonded over shared family values

The party pointed towards Donald Trump’s hush money #conviction in 2023, as well as the US president’s policies on #healthcare and #immigration, as they urged the Prime Minister to instead stand for "the values of #democracy and #HumanRights"

The National · Keir Starmer told to 'stop cosying up' to Donald TrumpBy Lucy Jackson

A quotation from Joseph Joubert

When we think what we do not feel, we lie to ourselves. We must always think with our whole being, soul and body.
 
[Penser ce que l’on ne sent pas, c’est mentir à soi-même. Tout ce qu’on pense, il faut le penser avec son être tout entier, âme et corps.]

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 9 “De la Sagesse, de la Vertu, etc. [On Wisdom and Virtue],” ¶ 52, 1798 entry (1850 ed.) [tr. Collins (1928), ch. 8]

Hugh Blair was a Presbyterian minister in Scotland. Here he encourages the reader to consider the full meaning and implications of salvation by grace. He says that as one has a sense of love from God, one will then readily forgive those that have offended them. God was merciful to their unrighteousness.

How can you consider your state of forgivness when dealing with those who have wronged you?

#CharlesKushner, the father of #Trump's son-in-law #JaredKushner, told the US #Senate on Thurs he could be trusted to exercise good judgment if confirmed as US #ambassador to #France, despite his past #conviction for #TaxEvasion & #WitnessTampering & other federal charges.

"I made a very, very, very serious mistake & I paid a heavy price for that mistake," Kushner, a wealthy real estate developer, said during a hearing before the Senate #ForeignRelations Cmte.

“Fake it till you make it” VS “Greed is good”

“According to the government, the pair (#CharlieJavice & #OlivierAmar) hired a #DataScientist to create fake accounts showing 4.25 million #customers, even though they knew it had fewer than 300,000. The implication for #investors, whether the trial results in a #conviction or acquittal, is how the massive #WallStreet firm could have missed the warning signs, and whether its #DueDiligence on other #acquisitions was up to the task.”

Until recently, #EmilBove was one of #Trump’s #defense lawyers, representing him in his NY criminal trial last year. The trial led to Trump’s #conviction on 34 #felony counts for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal that had threatened to derail his 2016 campaign.

#SDNY has long been viewed as the nation’s most prestigious US atty’s office, & has a reputation for guarding its independence & fending off interference from DC, winning it the nickname “the Sovereign District.”

In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”

That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.
