Diplomacy – The Politicus

maskless Rand Paul sworn as juror, claims 45 GOP senators believe the trial is unconstitutional

Mitch McConnell’s mini-me does his usual reactionary foolishness as the Senators are sworn in for the second Trump trial. “In a 55 to 45 vote that strongly suggested that the Senate does not have the votes to convict Donald Trump, senators narrowly killed a Republican effort to dismiss the impeachment...

A Josh Rogin piece at WaPo suggests that progressives will be sidelined in a Biden-Harris foreign policy. ‘Democratic muscular liberalism’ is more rebranding for the same centrism that often supported making wars last longer and often with less satisfying outcomes, despite multilateralism and...

Supporters of the Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary force attend the funeral procession of Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, and eight others in the capital Baghdad's district of al-Jadriya, near the high-security Green Zone, on January 4, 2020. - Thousands of Iraqis chanting "Death to America" joined the funeral procession for Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani and Muhandis, both killed in a US air strike. The cortege set off around Kadhimiya, a Shiite pilgrimage district of Baghdad, before heading to the Green Zone government and diplomatic district where a state funeral was to be held attended by top dignitaries. In all, 10 people -- five Iraqis and five Iranians -- were killed in Friday morning's US strike on their motorcade just outside Baghdad airport.

Individual-1's gaslighting nonsense continues because denial is a river, as testimony continues

Today features more White House manufacturing of truth that resembles the Bill Barr “summary” of the Mueller report, as further contrasts will be drawn between conventional diplomacy and a Trumpian parallel activity of self-dealing.

Whoa… Pompeo was on the 25 July call with Trump and Ukraine (Zelensky)

dum-da-dum-dum x So it was evidently common knowledge in Ukraine that the price of getting US military help fending off PutinÃ¢Â€Â™s aggression was helping TrumpÃ¢Â€Â™s 2020 re-election. The July 25 call just made it official! This strengthens an already strong case for extortion. https://t.co/lMyVnRvdGP— Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) September 30, 2019...
