Trump says he'll bomb Iran to the Stone Age and then the next President must bomb again. This is the Israelization of America's war - it's Israel's mowing-the-lawn policy This is precisely why previous Presidents resisted Israel's pressure for war w/ Iran: To avoid endless war

Young Palestinian children are prevented from going to school after Israeli settlers - with the tacit approval of the Israeli state - blocked their path with a barbed-wire fence. Instead, they are forced to sit in the boiling heat to continue their education.
Tone always matters in diplomacy, particularly in sensitive phases such as the one the US & Iran find themselves in right now. Trump is usually his worst enemy when it comes to tone, but some of his latest tweets have shown unusual sensitivity to the need for a more respectful tone.
In times of crises, some nations shrink, others rise. Not through force, but through wisdom Germany & much of Europe are shrinking Qatar is rising Despite being betrayed by the US & struck by Iran, Qatar speaks with wisdom, not anger. It looks to paths for peace, not revenge.
Told @LyndaKinkade that Iran's goal appears to be to secure a complete rather than partial end to the conflict with the US. Trump is the right president to strike such a grand bargain, but he keeps undermining his own diplomacy with endless tactical errors.
Told @BBCWorld that a key sign that the US and Iran are close to a deal is that the Trump admin has spent the last 48h defending a potential deal. They wouldn't be spending any political capital defending a yet-to-be-secured deal if they didn't believe they were close.
Told @Bannons_WarRoom that if the US position in Islamabad truly was zero enrichment, we should not be surprised that the talks failed; we should be surprised that that was the US strategy. It raises questions about the sincerity of the talks.
Told @AJEnglish that both Iran and the US believe that another round of fighting will give them an edge in subsequent talks. But when both sides believe this, the gravitational pull toward conflict becomes dangerously strong — however irrational it may be.
Said on @Bannons_WarRoom that Lindsey Graham is pushing Trump to make a precondition of the Iran deal that other regional countries have to normalize relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords. That is a poison pill. Graham is trying to sabotage Trump's Iran deal.
LOL! This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea." So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂 This is a scene straight out of Kafka...

On this day in my crochet (and college) history, 1-23 years ago! At the end, I have an assorted group of college memories. At the 2 minute mark are pics of me on stage in the production that this recording is from. I played Cain. That’s me getting murdered by Abel. So that’s me singing Scarlatti.

Let's be clear: Trump's slush fund creates a loyal militia of insurrectionists who are ready to break the law on his behalf and who will be PAID for their loyalty with your taxpayer money. There are no words left to describe the corruption we are witnessing.

Anthony Scaramucci: “If Obama acted the way Trump is acting, Fox News hosts would be calling for his impeachment. This guy is falling asleep in the Oval Office. He spent $8.2T in his first term, and he’s going to rack up $9-10T at the pace he’s on now.”
Disengaged employees cost the global economy trillions every year through lost productivity, poor performance, and missed potential. A huge amount of growth already exists inside organizations, but most companies never unlock it because the capability is there, while the engagement is not.
