The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down

It is shocking that a Jewish person would join with the Alt-Right. It is shocking to watch African-Americans defend Donald Trump. There will always be outliers.

I thought about this subject.
And I often thought that if I were Black, I would be a repub. It would seem to me that I would have more opportunities in that party as long as I sang their song.
I think about Clarence Thomas.
What I will never understand is this fellow, following his first couple of years on the Court, still voting against the Minority Class?
Or even the Lower Classes, collectively.
I think I stay away from this subject because I would be accused of forgetting that we are all individuals; that we should not be classified based upon our race or creed or gender or...
But damn!
Justice Thomas is such a prick. As big a prick as Scalia was.
So I despise Justice Thomas like any other bigoted capitalistic prick.
I would really like to get into his mind.
Read Breitbart or Drudge or scores of other conservative blogs that constantly attack Blacks and Jews and Hispanics.
And I am not even referring to the racist or ethnocentric comments.
OUTLIERS
Good point.
Oh I did not know where to put this other thought.
Ben Shapiro has shocked me over the last couple of months.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/03/14/breitbart-unravels-as-trump-questions-mount/209227
I have been watching Ben on cable lately.
He used to just piss me off with his mean look and passive-aggresive attitude.
And now...the guy smiles and he is fun to listen to and he has something to say.
I aint about to endorse Mr. Shapiro for any office, but I have rarely seen such a transformation.

The linchpin of Seidel's argument comes loose when he presumes that the Trump Movement is some kind of alternative to " liberals stuck in hypocritical identity politics."
Or maybe the problem is just me. When Seidel proposes that Trump offers such an alternative, I don't get any images in my brain.
Isn't all of Trump's discourse about identity while hypocritically claiming that it is not?

Yes, that and the constant gross distortion of liberal arguments. This jumped out at me:
George Zimmerman was guilty, a racist, a terrible person not deserving of a fair trial… and why? Because the mainstream media said so. That’s it.
We had some long nuanced discussions of Zimmerman here. But Seidel just sees us as unthinking stooges of the MSM. And no one here or anywhere ever suggested that Zimmerman shouldn't get a fair trial. " Liberals were supposed to stand up for... the basics of due process!" Tell me one liberal that didn't. It's just nonsense, paragraph after paragraph of nonsense, but I suppose it stirs up the ignorant.
eta: The lies from the right about liberals are so common. This just today on TPM.
Eric Trump told The Stream's James Robinson. "Or, he sees the tree on the White House lawn has been renamed 'Holiday tree' instead of 'Christmas tree.'
The tree that stands near the White House (on the Ellipse) each winter is still called the National Christmas Tree and has never been renamed, as Buzzfeed News noted. And the White House blog also referred to the tree kept inside the residence as a Christmas tree just last year.
(someone should write a book on this subject)

I read that book.
If you believe what that guy said, you would have to accept that there is a huge political organization established purely upon making stuff up.

A perfect example of the species, OGD.
Just goes to show that this "Alt Right" stuff is really just the "Right" coated with sprinkles.
by moat on Sat, 08/27/2016 - 7:32am
The factlessness is just a sign of the times.There were huge numbers of white liberals defending Zimmerman to various degrees despite wanting actual solutions to racism and violence on blacks by security and police.
Jews fleeing France? It's a peak 2000 in a bad year post-terrorist-attack, but I've been hearing this crap for years and there are still a half million Jews in Fance who likely arent going anywhere despte economic incentives for Aliya. My mother freaks out about Muslim attack far from any place she'd possibly be hurt - why wouldnt a small percentage (0.5%) of Jews be unhinged and scared? What's their chance of being hurt in Israel - did they really evaluate A vs B, detriments and advantages? Did they consider a small village in Brittany or lovely Lyons or Toulouse, or those towns on the Gulf of Biscayne, or leaving it as a Marseilles/Paris suburb vs drastic emigration?
What does it prove? That we don't care about statistics - we care about anecdotal evidence, our proven wrong examples of frogs in steadily heated water that we keep re-using because they "feel" right and appeal to people who aren't too analytic and would rather go with the emotional rush.
