Coffee Klatch, 'Trump's Dire Straits', Reich on Iran and Tucker

journalismApr 25, 20265600

On April 25, Robert Reich opened his Coffee Klatch episode by calling Donald Trump's Iran policy a "forever war," saying it has left the United States stuck in strikes, escalatory rhetoric, and a diplomatic stalemate. Reich described Tucker Carlson's recent apology as self-serving, arguing Carlson sought to rehabilitate his image without correcting the factual errors that spurred criticism. He explained that Virginia officials have moved to blunt a Republican midterm strategy by advancing state measures intended to protect voter access and counter redistricting maneuvers. Reich said these developments matter because they influence whether U.S. foreign policy returns to open-ended conflict, how conservative media figures are treated, and whether state-level rules will shape control of Congress next year.

Funny how the ‘no more wars’ crowd suddenly found a forever one and now even their loudest cheerleaders want a redo.

He promised Middle East peace. Then he started an unwinnable war. He promised lower prices. Now the basics are unaffordable.

Remember what MAGAts nicknamed Biden? . As I recall, it was "sleepy Joe Biden" . Funny how quiet they are now, huh?

The war; Epstein isn’t front and center. Netanyahu had his trial delayed AGAIN, while he slaughters more people and grabs their land. Trump lifts sanctions off of Russian oil.

Feels like everything’s cracking at once foreign policy spiraling, media figures scrambling to rewrite their roles, and voters in places like Virginia quietly pushing back. The common thread? Control slipping. The narratives aren’t holding like they used to, and people are starting to notice.

Why isn’t this photo and many more like it on the front page of the New York Times? And every major news program should be running clips from the many episodes where Trump sleeps on the job—on camera.

And yet once again, I ask myself - why the ever living fuck is Jared Kushner negotiating on behalf of the United States?
