    of course its impossible. to anyone sane with even an ounce of humility.


    Panama president: ‘Impossible’ to negotiate over canal

    by Laura Kelly - 01/31/25 9:59 AM ET
    NOW PLAYING
    House Republican bill would pave way for Trump ...

    Panama President José Raúl Mulino rejected negotiations over ownership of the Panama Canal, in the face of President Trump’s fixation on the U.S. retaking the trade waterway. 

    Mulino’s remarks come ahead of a visit this weekend by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has called for Panama to kick out a Hong Kong-based company that operates two ports on either side of the canal, describing it as a core U.S. national interest

    “It’s impossible. I can’t negotiate,” Mulino said when asked about returning the canal to U.S. control during a press conference Thursday. “That is done. The canal belongs to Panama.”

    Mulino said he hopes to talk to the U.S. about issues including immigration, security and the fight against drug trafficking. 

    “The only thing that I want is to clear all the garbage from the path, clean the table and be able to speak with the United States, and very frankly,” he said, according to The Associated Press

    Trump has made his calls for retaking the Panama Canal one of his priority foreign policy issues in his first days in office, criticizing the Carter administration’s 1977 decision to sell the U.S.-built canal to Panama; fumed over high transit prices and railed against Chinese businesses operating key ports on the waterway. 

    Rubio, in a recent interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” said he’s going to address with Mulino a “solution” to the U.S. concerns of Chinese companies’ presence at the canal. Rubio accuses the businesses of being under the direction of the Chinese government and has suggested there’s a risk the companies could shut down the waterway. 


    continues....

    True. People flag posts if anyone disagrees. After so many flags people get banned. People here in the echo chamber flag post evertime because honest truthful discussions is dangerous…so thus why they go away.

    That's not how it works.  Ask Kat or Sea.

    I think some would say it isn’t inconceivable for a program with great intentions to result in hiring someone less qualified than another candidate to fill a quota.  

    The Dems will continue to lose elections when they label people as racist for not liking programs that target/benefit people by race (irony). People can disagree without being a racist.

    It is the same annoying thing with abortion.  Dems say pro lifers hate and want to control women, when perhaps they just feel strongly a fetus is a life.   Reps say pro choice people are murderers, when they don’t believe that a fetus is a human and want to prioritize the mother’s choice.  There is no room for reasoned debate, and it doesn’t help that Trump purposefully says the dumbest things to distract people.
    This “dems will continue to lose elections” crap is nonsense. We heard that in 2016 when trump first won. The “it’s the dems fault!” whining bullshit. Then the dems won the house and the White House. Tossed that claim in the toilet. And it will happen again in 2 and 4 years. It’s all cyclical. 

    Independents decide elections, and they don’t pay attention to that garbage.

    Yikes! That’s uncalled for.
    THAT you find offensive? He didn’t say she had “blood coming out if her wherever”. 

    I’d agree, she doesn’t look bad or old per say, just that’s not a 27 year old look.

    😂 that’s not how it works. People get banned for saying supremely offensive shit. You may not see it as they are often edited after the fact.

    There are plainly written rules for the thread. You may cry conspiracy and suppression of free speech etc, but the reality is much simpler. The people flagged and banned are flagged and banned for breaking those rules. It’s called consequence, and I’m glad someone has made them accountable for their words.

    If it’s an echo chamber here, it’s because your ilk keep breaking the rules and getting themselves banned. That’s not liberals’ faults, you can thank your buddies for that.

    Enjoy the echo chamber.
    More people who are ardent PJ fans are likely to be against a lot of what the new regime is doing.  This would seem obvious.

    Don't have any issues with people having other beliefs.

    If you share disinformation constantly, and are generally hateful, the forum is better off without you.
    I would argue the world is better off without those people, but we are discussing the forum access here and it is good to see those repeat offenders will need to create a new profile if they want to stir the pot more, here.

    How aggrieved can a ruling party be?

    Guess we will continue to find out.
    Poor, right wingers.  All the control and still crying.

    Trump’s Government Is Built on Secrecy

    The ‘flood the zone’ strategy is designed to grab attention. The real work is being done far from public view.

    THE PREVAILING WISDOM about Donald Trump’s first two weeks in office is that he is, to borrow a cliché, flooding the zone—releasing a torrent of information that overwhelms even the most seasoned political observer.

    The real story of Trump 2.0 is exactly the opposite.

    White House operations have so far been defined not by the spotlight they’ve commanded but by the secrecy they’ve imposed. People inside and outside of government are confused about who is staffing—or even leading—agencies. Federal employees have been thrust into a state of paranoia about the status of their jobs. Even lawmakers say they are utterly in the dark, unable to reach contacts at federal agencies to get key information about which parts of the government are functioning and which aren’t.

    “There’s no clarity about which federal funds are frozen and which are left untouched,” Rep. Ritchie Torres told The Bulwark in an interview. “I’m not aware of any member of Congress who has been—any Democratic member of Congress—who’s been kept in the loop about the scope of the executive order.”

    The crypticity is a stark difference between Trump 1.0—an often unruly, directionless, and very public mess—and Trump 2.0., which presidential aides are determined to make more efficient and consequential. And it has thrown much of Washington, D.C. into chaos, as lawmakers, civil servants, state and local governments, nonprofits, companies, and even foreign governments scramble to figure out just how dramatically our governing institutions are being altered or altogether undone.
