One remarkable revelation from this article: The head of the New York City subway system says he has never talked to the mayor of New York City (and says he can't get meetings with the governor either): https://t.co/To662fMFQz

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

Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

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

Oh and I ran across this at the same time, Glen Thrush going local reporter for one tweet. Scary indicator:
This is what the Bronx looks like normally, but not Brooklyn for crying out loud. I came in the 80's, been there, done that. Seriously, maybe it an omen that it's time to leave.
And then there's this lovely stuff going on, what we get for our tax dollars, not only poisoned children but paying for the defense of those causing it:

I just came across this Ron Paul tweet/cartoon/silliness today:
http://www.newsweek.com/ron-paul-racist-anti-semitic-tweet-1005102
It is the cartoon thingy.
hahahhahahah
Someone on the internet noted that Rand Paul told his father to tone it down.
I am just agast at the fact that the Right Wing fascists in this country not only hate the Blacks and the Hispanics and the Asians? but also the Jews.
I cannot get over this.
That is all I got.

Hi Richard, did you mean to put this here? In any case you're welcome with whatever you want to put on one of my threads.
I actually suspect this cartoon story is a good example of the mindless way some political people use social media. In that it was taken down so quickly, like someone higher up in the Ron Paul organization realized what it actually depicted. I suspect it was probably initially posted by some young passionate libertarian idiot who works for him, who saw it on some really dumb anti-political-correctness website or feed he/she frequents and thought it cool without either even looking closely at or understanding the history of the image. Ron Paul is just not that dumb, even if he feels those sentiments in his heart, he is not so dumb as to show them much less broadcast them. I am thinking of how many liberal fans he had when he was seriously running, just because he was isolationist and anti-war . If I remember correctly, member Lulu was somewhat of a fan for that reason.
(By the way, I noticed someone else posted it elsewhere here earlier, so that's probably why you didn't get a response from anyone.)

Reading this, I wonder how the majority would describe the personality of a successful politician or businessman.
Because however bad Trump looks, he seems to be just an inflated version of what passes for success - sane, rational people (especially females) need not apply. Michael Bloomberg tantrums? Check. Larry Ellison excesses? Check. Mark Zuckerberg obliviousness? Check. etc, etc.

Yes, you get it. Michael Cohen is like: status quo for decades, in one package. This is why you will never see me buy the Dem party always being about for the little people everywhere. Because it simply is not that in NYC or even New York State and hasn't been that for many decades. Everything is for sale here. Everyone is always trying to "get one over." This is why I am skeptical about Cynthia Nixon, I think she has a high chance of being eaten for lunch.

They Vowed to Fix the Subway. On-Time Rates Are Still Terrible.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority began its roughly $800 million subway rescue plan last July. But the system remains plagued by delays.
