“stop saying the trump era is not normal”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...n-here-before/ Slavery, the Klan, Jim Crow, the Klan again. Internment of Japanese Americans. Gender discrimination and scientific racism. McCarthyism. George Wallace. All leading to a president whom Meacham considers “an heir to the white populist tradition,” a leader eager to undermine the law, the truth and “the sense of hope essential to American life.” Trump is normal in that he embodies recurring maladies of American public life; perhaps the main anomaly is that he brings so many of them together. Such historical awareness can comfort, especially if you believe, as Meacham does, that every generation considers itself under siege and that, with the right leadership, Americans usually find a way forward rather than back. “The good news is that we have come through such darkness before,” he writes. “All has seemed lost before, only to give way, after decades of gloom, to light.” Of course, if you’re living in the gloom, awareness of historical patterns bestows limited consolation. It might, however, inject small doses of those qualities that latter-day resistance requires: Inspiration. Patience. Even humility. |

Isn't it strange that he said this, but elsewhere it is said that inspections were not refused, and Iran followed the rules of the deal. Which "truth" do we follow? (I certainly cannot believe a word that Netanyahu speaks. He is almost Trumpist in his hatred of all things Obama.) |

So, Mr Kushner, how's that whole mid-east peace thing working out?
|
What does Obama and EU know that we don't? OK I'll read that.....
If Kushner was on The Apprentice, wouldn't he be fired by now? Oh....wait.... |
what this shit means is that the perfect is the enemy of the good

I've always —even before the Trumpocalypse— hated Kushner and Ivanka for being parasitic famous-for-being-famous CROOKS, but today was the first day I simply couldn't stand the sight of them on TV anymore — it literally (and I literally mean LITERALLY) made me nauseous.    |
But hey, who gives a shit about the 55 (and counting) Palestinians killed by Israel today, right? I mean, they're so brown and poor and faceless and just... unglamorous...

fucking disgraceful

Updated overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E...i n_Netanyahu Netanyahu was fighting for his political survival and Trump made it golden for him by getting out of the JCPOA and moving that repulsive motherfucking embassy to Jerusalem. Nothing like fearmongering (Iran and Hamas will rape us! They will RAPE US!) to get your poll numbers up, cry witchhunt, blame the media and try to discredit the Chief of the Israeli Police and the country's Attorney General... both of whom were appointed by Bibifuck himself — sounds familiar? |
Yup, Election Day in OR today.
I wish someone would sanction the US and Israel for this..BDS! |
This is a almost two months old but I hadn't seen it. From time.com:

Called it.  Europe, Iran say push to save nuclear deal off to good start BRUSSELS (AP) — Major European powers and Tehran committed Tuesday to keep working together to save the Iran nuclear deal despite U.S. President Donald Trump's determination to kill it off. European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany said after talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that salvage efforts focused on economic, business and banking issues could produce "practical solutions in the next few weeks" |
