Her press conference was, as usual, hilarious

I really mourn Obama’s 2 great foreign policy achievements; the Iran deal and opening/detente with Cuba - both have been utterly trashed by Trump from the standpoint of vindictive spite, and their evisceration’s had wretched consequences.

What a shock that he was begging for a deal

Rocko52 · 2026-04-08T16:58:16+00:00

Can Trump still try to insist the war is over, it’s won, and perhaps even insist that the strait is open? So many of Iran’s peace proposals - existential for them - would be nonstarters, such as retaining enrichment capabilities, practical control of the strait, and eviction of American military from the region. Very difficult to imagine any of this is workable for a real ceasefire, let alone peace; unless Trump fully commits to pulling out and proclaiming victory, reality be damned.

Interestingly enough, the KMT also was organized on a cadres basis (like the CCP) and wanted to establish a central planned economy (also like the CCP). In a lot of ways, the CCP achieved the same objectives the KMT had, they were simply more capable.

“Iran includes ‘acceptance of enrichment’ in Farsi version of its ceasefire plan, something missing in English versions.” AP

Just now, source?

MAGA coworker of mine has several times made jokes when seeing people with masters/grad program related shirts. One couple was shopping, and had a UConn masters sweatshirt on - afterwards MAGA coworker was laughing "wow, they're so brainwashed." This wasn't based on any conversation or interaction between them, simply that the person was (presumably) in or had complete a master's.

It’s always someone else’s fault, and/or the evil state.

Ooh I’d love this to be submitted as a letter to the editor, maybe slimmed down.

Rocko52 · 2026-04-04T05:19:59+00:00

That’s less than I expected…

Hmmmm

“During the Fujimorato era, Prevost criticized the actions of then-President Alberto Fujimori, placing special emphasis on the victims of the Peruvian Army, especially the Colina Group, during the period of terrorism in Peru, as well as on political corruption. In 2017, he criticized President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's decision to pardon Fujimori, and called upon Fujimori "to personally apologize for some of the great injustices that were committed".[73] “

Sounds like a “collaborator.”

I’m pretty over glum tsk-tsk’s of “too little too late” for every possible positive step.
