It did not. I've never seen a time when the UN and individual countries didn't protest the holding of hostages.

Actually, from a world view, it is on all US hands.

It's not exactly AOC's GND. It all was part of a white paper which she used. Obama used parts of it, as well as Biden.

A good intelligence body will take information from all sources available. It's their job to analyze that and build a narrative that has a confidence level. It's what they do.

The Russians received a big morale boost, courtesy of the GOP.

Did the ceasefire include hostage release?

Republicans will introduce poison pill after poison pill so that any "compromise" will be a long term disaster for our immigration policy. Anyone who says they want to put ankle monitors on small children are not serious people.

I'd be fine with even a harsh bill because of the urgency of the situation, it might take a generation to undo it but it would be undone, but not draconian.

lasting impression I will never forget

tends to do that

Wait until he puzzles over the fact that the newest US aircraft carrier will be named the Doris Miller.

Never underestimate the cruelty, misogyny, arrogance, of the GOP.

I think it has a lot to do with the death of the WWII generation. They're not around any longer to give oral history. When I was a kid, the town was full of WWII vets. My barber hated Nazis and George Patton in that order. We not only learned about things like the holocaust in school, but had people in town that lived through the experience.

Biden has pulled off other victories in the past that we all thought were dead.

Let's hope he can do it again.

Used to be a majority of older people died poor and unable to pay for medical attention. Now with Social Security and Medicare that has been mitigated. Thanks FDR and LBJ

Did it include releasing hostages?

Sure. That's the way the interstate highway system was built and is maintained. This time, though, companies will be directly involved in the build.

— at least for now.

At some point we'll face the fact that we can save another 1/3 of health care costs by using a Medicare for all (fuck the insurance companies) and making the health industry government owned (yikes socialized medicine). But that will be a long time from now.

Yeah, but why is that bad for Joe Biden?

NYT Pitchbot:

We were told a recession was coming. Now the economy is booming. Another broken Biden promise.

Because, see, if you remove the books it didn't happen. /s

Why would he know that? He sees all the Menorah and makes his plans
