The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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

Maybe we could use Stephen Colbert's when he's done with it. We should ask John Stewart.

Hi Sleepin!
The President spent a good deal of time speaking of the poor at a Prayer Breakfast this morning. He was speaking of their dire straights and speaking of the responsibility of those better off with regard to poverty in this country.
He speaks often about our national duty in this respect; to my recollection.
There is no war on poverty of course and there is no good reason not to release 1/4 or more of our prison population tomorrow--with some strings of course!
We do need 60 more Bernie Sanders in the Senate however as well as a couple hundred in the House.

Well, thank goodness we HAVE food stamps because with the economy as it is, people need help so that they won't go to bed hungry.
I probably gave his comment more empathy than he expressed, but I did respect his basic point, which is that no republican can ever acknowledge that tax cuts for the richest and unending wars have created the mess we are in and increasing taxes WILL NOT STYMIE JOB GROWTH, nor will declining a war make us weak!
I know I have gone off topic here, but as most of us realize, it is appalling how out of touch and punitive the republicans are toward the most unfortunate among us. Right, Mittens, the very poor and the wealthy are in the same boat, and so just try to convince the Middle Class that you give a fat Fu*k about anything except showing your father that you can get elected President.

Seems pretty much on topic, CVille. I wonder if you saw the Diane Sawyer interview (don't know how far in advance it was planned, but the contrast between the contemporaneous interactions with the two women---Brewer, then Sawyer---intrigued me), but he handled the question on foodstamps quite well. First, the President doesn't personally award food stamps. Second (because you might not believe me) the program was last expanded under the Bush Administration.

Romney's comment is classic in that there are lots of interpretations and they are all bad. Even from a Republican standpoint he is supporting welfare---not as a temporary measure but as a permanent measure. He also undercuts any messaging about compassionate conservatism because his comments seemed aloof and callous. And his gaffes are making the political story about him instead of his opponents and Obama, which is the last thing he would want to do from a tactical point of view.
