Meanwhile on the International front....

Jean Marie Le Pen just died....and huge crowds turned out in Paris to celebrate.

However big a piece of ship people think Jean-Marie Le Pen was, rest ashured he was much worse. Imagine starting a record company in 1963 France with the goal of preserving Hitler's speeches and songs from the Third Reich.

Battle of Algiers returns to haunt Le Pen as claims of torture focus on far-right leader

Le Pen admitted to torture on two occasions, in 1957 and 1962. Among his admissions was recorded in the Combat newspaper: "I have nothing to hide. I tortured [people] because it had to be done. When you bring in someone who has just planted 20 bombs that could explode at any moment and he doesn't want to talk, you have to use exceptional means to force him to."
... Le Pen had signed up for six months, but this period was cut short. Acts of torture, allegedly committed on 1 and 8 March 1957, led to complaints being lodged with the police station. Right up until Le Pen departed from Algeria, his cruelty was remarkable.
Riceputi reports that a night watchman at a hotel refused to open the door to an inebriated Le Pen as the establishment was closed. Le Pen hit the guard, threatened him with a weapon, abducted him and "entombed" him – in a pit dug into the ground and covered with barbed wire.
 
Mmmmm hmm. Trump was totes going to prop up the Palestinians if Bibi didn't play ball.
 
Yeah, no way in hell Trump was going to twist Netanyahu's arm to end it. At least it got done while Biden was still in office. Won't matter, Trump will still take credit, of course, but still.
