Thunberg “needs a rest” after claim she’ll put leaders “up against the wall”

Friday, teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg joined in with a Fridays for Future protest in Turin, Italy. It is week 69 for the Swedish high school student and the international protests she began. Now, she needs a break. Nothing points to the truth in that announcement more than the authoritarian rhetoric that has seeped into her speeches. Her speech to the crowd in Turin is a perfect example.

Speaking about the U.N. climate change summit COP 25 in Madrid, she voiced her frustration that the outcome will not live up to expectations. World leaders, she said, are running away from their responsibilities. “We will make sure we put them against the wall and that they will have to do their job.” Yikes! Are the teen protesters planning on grabbing adult politicians and putting them before firing squads if their demands are not met? Is her frustration about how slowly change is made, if at all, leading her to thoughts of violence? Probably not in herself – she has a flair for the dramatic – but her words can incite violence by her young followers and adult malcontents. What if Antifa infiltrates her rallies?

With Christmas just days away, she says she is ready for a break and will take one after the holiday.

“I will be home for Christmas and then I will take a holiday break because you need to take rest,” she told reporters in Turin.

“Otherwise you cannot do this all the time.”

Most of her speech in Turin was typical hyperbole that she uses to fire up her crowds, along with a heavy dose of teenage whining. It’s not fairrrrr… I can almost hear the sound of a stomping foot. She’s a teenage girl – they live for drama.

She said: ‘It is not fair that the older generation are handing over the responsibility to solve this crisis to us young people who have not started this crisis. It’s not fair that we have to do all this.

‘The adults are behaving as if there is no tomorrow but there is a tomorrow, it is the tomorrow where our young people will live and we have to fight for that tomorrow. ‘We can no longer take that tomorrow for granted.’

Greta added that the next decade ‘will define our future.’

She said: ‘What we decide to do or not to do in this decade we will have to live with for the rest of our lives.

The girl has had a very busy year and a break is likely much needed. Her parents and other adult handlers have kept her in front of cameras and taken advantage of her rise in prominence. She holds the distinction of being the youngest person to receive TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She made the Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women list. Her awards have come so frequently this year that she is refusing to accept some of them. With all the adulation heaped upon her, she now says she is not a political person.
 
Alan Dershowitz explains how the Supreme Court just 'pulled the rug out of part two of impeachment'
'Look, the most important development happened today'

Alan Dershowitz believes one of the "most important" developments in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump happened Friday.

Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday, the Harvard law professor explained the Supreme Court — by agreeing to hear a trio of cases involving subpoenas for the president's financial records — just "pulled the rug out of part two of impeachment."

"Look, the most important development happened today," Dershowitz said. "The Supreme Court of the United States absolutely pulled the rug out of part two of the impeachment referral by granting certiorari, by granting review in a case where Trump challenged a congressional subpoena. And the Supreme Court said we're going to hear this case."

"Think of what that message is: It's Trump was right," he continued. "You don't have to comply with a subpoena of Congress unless a court tells you you have to comply."

"Now, we don't know how the court is going to come out. But they made it clear that's a viable issue," Dershowitz went on to say. "So, that charge, that ground of impeachment, should be immediately removed by the House and not sent to the Senate. There's nothing to it anymore after the Supreme Court today said you're entitled to a review on an issue when the president challenges the subpoena power of Congress."


"It's all done. It's over," Dershowitz said.



The Supreme Court will hear arguments for the cases in March, and will likely issue their opinion in June 2020.

The case has significant implications for presidential immunity — in this case, whether a sitting president can resist subpoenas for their financial records — and as Dershowitz explained, the current impeachment proceedings.

Indeed, impeachment article two, which centers on Trump's alleged obstruction of Congress, charges that Trump has "directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives."

If the Supreme Court finds that Trump has sufficient authority to resist certain congressional subpoenas, the implications related to impeachment are obviously significant.
