“Senior Iranian psychologists began working with the negotiating team to try to cater the messages that the Iranians were sending via mediators back to Donald Trump to try to take into account what they say as his specific mental illness and mental deficiencies,” Scahill said in an interview with Democracy Now published on Monday.

“Almost quite clinically, they said [they] began to see this process yielding results as [they] worked with psychologists to send these communications to Donald Trump, and they credit that, in part, with getting to this point where Trump finally accepted some version of his manufactured and almost entirely false victory narrative.”

Hi all.

It is that time of year when I am working any and all available hours. Most weeks, I have no idea what day it is. This is one of those weeks.

I was up at 02:30, and driving a bus at Logan Airport by 5am.

I just noted on Bluesky....

Boston is full of Iraqi nationals today. They seemed to be mostly ex-pats, from the States and Canada. I'd presume any actual Iraqis would have had an arduous journey to get here, if they were even allowed in at all.

I switched off my "tourism filter" two years ago when I left the business. I did try my level best today to be kind and welcoming....despite my usual gruff and short-tempered exterior.



(BTW...I have no thoughts on the B-52 crash. I am a little more interested in the skydiving accident that also happened yesterday, especially since CNN had no idea what they were talking about in their reporting of it.)
