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

Vindman's lawyer's statement:

Maybe get rid of the twin brother, too? If the Vindman's are like the Trump family, makes sense:
by artappraiser on Fri, 02/07/2020 - 4:09pm
Yes, verily, the twin brother was escorted out at the same time!

I will long remember Soundland's response in his House testimony when asked about his expectations of the fallout in the Trump world after he spilled his beans:
"Easy come, easy go."

Hmmm, seems like maybe he gives special humiliation to those who could be defined as being in "deep state" positions?
Comey has a new op-ed out, somehow I think it's kinda related, that he will humiliate these types, that's red meat for the base, is the key to the base, mistrust of the see-all know-all control-all Feds?

"insubordination" and offering up a different version of reality than Trump (truly is the first Postmodern president, what Derrida wrought)
from The Independent Trump publicly admits he fired White House official as retaliation for impeachment testimony: ‘He was very insubordinate’

Judge Amy Berman Jackson seems unlikely to deviate from her sentencing -
especially with Stone's clever trick of putting her in crosshairs -
so is the strategy to blame her for being an Obama appointee and overstepping
the revised low sentencing recommendation, and then giving Stone a pardon?
I guess I shouldn't say that won't fly, since these days anything will...

He's now attacking her directly with 9 days to go:

Turns out Rick is right, as it's been done before:
by artappraiser on Tue, 02/11/2020 - 8:24pm
Marcy points out the Flynn offer may be designed to show that the government wasn't overreaching in it's sentencing suggestion, avoiding one big grounds for appeal or pardon). So since probation was laid out as an almost tingue-in-cheek recommendation, the filinfg does parenthetically highlight subtly some factoids that will likely piss Judge Sullivan off, such as Flynn being in a high trusted position and still pulling his shit. Total time sentenced for non-disclosure was never going to be great, so a 6 month is maybe max to expect. But Mike put a crazy woman in charge of his renewed defense and withdrawn guilty plea/cooperation, so there's little chance if just probation, unless they have Judge Sullivan's grandkid in an undisclosed location, which is distinctly possible (who's got the keys to Lindsey Graham's balls?)
