I guess the ICC will be handing down arrest warrants for Putin?

Egypt changed terms of Gaza ceasefire deal presented to Hamas, surprising negotiators, sources say

Egyptian intelligence quietly changed the terms of a ceasefire proposal that Israel had already signed off on earlier this month, ultimately scuttling a deal that could have released Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and set a pathway to temporarily end the fighting in Gaza, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

The ceasefire agreement that Hamas ended up announcing on May 6 was not what the Qataris or the Americans believed had been submitted to Hamas for a potential final review, the sources said.

The changes made by Egyptian intelligence, the details of which have not been previously reported, led to a wave of anger and recrimination among officials from the US, Qatar and Israel, and left ceasefire talks at an impasse.

“We were all duped,” one of those sources told CNN.

Maybe Egypt is fed up with Hamas and instead of a ceasefire they want Hamas eradicated.

Georgia election: Fani Willis and Trump judge McAfee survive primary challenges

ATLANTA — Two major figures in former President Donald Trump‘s Georgia election interference trial easily bested primary challengers Tuesday night.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee handily won their races, meaning they’re likely to remain in office beyond January in the heavily Democratic jurisdiction. The Associated Press called both races less than an hour after polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Willis was drawing nearly 90% of the vote in early returns against challenger Christian Wise Smith, while McAfee defeated Robert Patillo II with 83% of the early returns. Fulton is Georgia’s largest county by population and includes most of the city of Atlanta.

While both were expected to win, McAfee went all out campaigning by participating in three candidate forums, a parade, and seven church services, among other activities. Willis made her case to voters on election eve with an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show.

“I need Fulton County voters to get out and vote,” Willis told Maddow. “I need people around the country to support me big and small, to say that we are going to be a country that still believes in the rule of law.”

I don't think it's on my machine yet.

Huh. It came down on mine, or most of mine. Some are clinet/server, some are workgroup. Doesn't seem to matter here.

It's still on everything here except my main media machine... Damn thing kept coming up every time I swiped left, and it drove me nuts. So I murdered it.

But it's on this laptop and literally never pops up.
Dunno the difference, except the TV box is run from a bluetooth KB.

McCaskill: ‘Scary’ Trump ‘Celebrates’ the Dark Corners of Dictatorship

Pam Key 21 May 2024

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was “scary” because he celebrates “the dark corners of dictatorship.”

McCaskill said, “I don’t think we do enough of is talking about how Trump is worse today than he was in 2020 and much worse than he was in 2016. The things he says are more extreme. He celebrates more the dark corners of dictatorship. He says he would eliminate the Constitution. He brags about using the military in a domestic way in our country. Not against foreign enemies, but here against people in this country. He talks about deporting 15 million people, ignoring what the current law is in this country in terms of their status. So it is really much worse than it was before. He brags about how he will no longer have anybody around him that is not willing to go as far as he wants to go. I mean, this is really scary stuff.”

She added, “There are important leaders in the military that are retired now that I believe have a duty to speak up at this moment, including John Kelly. I know John Kelly. I think at his core he is a good man. I think he thought he was doing the right thing, serving Donald Trump, and I think he tried to stick to his principles in spite of the headwinds he faced in that position. Mattis is the same, Milley is the same. It would be very powerful for these retired top military leaders to begin to sound the alarm to the American people.”
