ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Iran would have to be incredibly stupid to make any peace agreement that relinquishes their control over the Strait of Hormuz. And they are not stupid. This is just a practical observation 100

ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I am a displaced Texan, and it is incredibly distressing to me that Texas Republicans are voting for the corrupt and contemptible Ken Paxton. Most people I knew growing up in Texas were conservative, but they weren’t utterly amoral. 000

ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 12/04/2026‘They have chosen not to accept our terms.’ What an asshole. Negotiation is about give and take. ‘We were unable to reach an agreement’ — why can’t he just say that? 000
ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Melania seems genuinely upset at the prospect of being implicated in the Epstein scandal. She sounds authentic about that. I know nothing about her, but hey… good for her for speaking out 020
ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Melania’s Epstein statement was clearly written by somebody else, not her (but maybe of course based on her own notes about what she wanted to say). She is reading it out as someone who doesn’t understand each sentence or word. That’s ok, but she isn’t just acting independently 000
ocactus.bsky.social @ocactus.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Hi, George. I appreciate your commentary these days. But I can’t believe back in 2016 your first choice was Ted Cruz. He’d have been a nightmare, though not as bad as Trump (not for lack of trying, though) 040
