Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to meet President Trump "as soon as possible" " possibly over Thanksgiving " to finalize a joint U.S.-Ukrainian agreement on the terms for ending the war, Zelensky's chief of staff Andriy Yermak told Axios.

Why it matters:

U.S. and Ukrainian officials have agreed in principle on most aspects of the plan, which has been modified heavily from the initial 28-point U.S. proposal. But Zelensky wants to negotiate on the matter of territorial concessions with Trump himself, Yermak said. read more

- Oligarchs Siphoned Trillions From US Economy for 50 Years

If rwing populists and lwing populist ever stopped allowing themselves to be divided by every other possible goofy Social Issue Distraction that their Corporate Billionaire Masters have devised to keep them apart... we might could have a Second American Revolution.

The perception of widespread disagreement is often higher than the actual level of consensus."

example:

"Social Welfare Programs: A large majority of Americans hold favorable views of major social welfare programs, including Social Security (79% favorable) and Medicare (79% favorable), with majorities also supporting programs like Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP). There is also widespread agreement that Social Security benefits should not be reduced."

These include that using violence to achieve political goals is never OK; that elected leaders should compromise to get things done; and that having a mix of races, religions and cultures benefits the nation.

Americans also express a desire to limit the political influence of wealthy individuals and businesses and believe there is a difference between facts and opinions."

Some background on Thiel's Nazi obsession with the Pope:

"Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They've been a road map for the billionaire ever since."

I read the Wired story last month and about the lectures he's been giving. The fact that his ideas can be readily traced back to a thoroughly debunked Nazi doesn't seem to bother him in the least.

Here he is at @1 min in freezing up when asked about AI and the Antichrist:

Now it seems he's found a fairly progressive Pope to blame.
