huge, if truequote:Ali Shamkhani, chief of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, claimed today that U.S. Republican officials reached out to Tehran asking that the recent release of four American prisoners be delayed until after the upcoming presidential election. There are very good reasons to be skeptical of Shamkhani’s claim. If it is true, it is completely insane.

On the one hand, I'm skeptical. On the other, we live in insane times, and have been doing so ever since the Reagan administration.

Obama did what amounts to a eulogy/retrospective for his political career and his presidency for the Illinois General Assembly yesterday. It's very well-written, and interesting in that Obama remains publicly committed to bipartisanship even as he makes clear that he plans to devote himself to "fixing politics" as a private citizen.

I'm surprised more countries who aren't fans of the US haven't used Congressional gridlock to pull more of these little PR stunts. There's virtually no chance this is true (a top Iranian official says something crazy and bombastic about the US at a rally and it's eagerly repeated by state media, don't be stupid) but its plausibility is extremely disturbing.

With Regan and Romney's Bengazi press conference establishing a track record, you don't dismiss it out of hand even though it's coming from the intelligence chief of a totalitarian regime.

Tune into the Oregon standoff now. 3 of the 4 have surrendered, the last is super worked up, says he is suicidal, and some sovcit lawyer is winding him up even more

I'm sure if it did happen, and it probably did, that the list of Repubs involved would include those who are vocally anti-Iran, making this even better. Too bad we'll never get proof.

zoux posted:We're going to have to figure out what to do about the millions of jobs that selfdriving cars would obviate, which also goes towards the earlier conversation about how our work culture requires everyone to have full time employment. Eventually we're just going to have to admit that we don't have enough jobs to justify total full time employment and go to a 20 hour workweek or something. Socialism, just add more socialism the more technology removes jobs to make up for it and keep the economy going. Just keep doing that and eventually it's socialism all the way down.

Trabisnikof posted:Actually, it isn't literally treason. "Aid and comfort to our enemies" seems broad enough to work, but I'm sure a distinct set of precedents has developed so it's much more narrow. Either way I don't really care that much about adjudicating an imaginary situation to argue it out.
