It's been less than 24 hours since Trump was confronted about it by reporters, conveniently forgetting what he said yesterday. And if he's really forgetting (doubt'°) stuff from less than 24 hours ago, we're in deep shit.

Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace.

Witkoff and Kushner Get an F in Diplomacy
Inexperienced and overextended, Trump’s envoys have failed on three fronts.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

Counter point. Don't necessarily believe it outright. Hard to confirm with no boots on the ground. But food for thought. Even if both prospectives are lies.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.
