Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

This is just a nightmare for the American negotiators.
If you are the Chinese counterparts, you immediately say: we expect President Trump to bow to our president upon arrival, if not meeting is off. Then force concessions to avoid the bow, and even more for a handshake, and even more for a hug.
My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
We'll see if the media presents the Trump inflation this way (as they blamed it on Biden) or if they'll just treat it like a situation he inherited and had nothing to do with
“Mr. Mayor, thoughts on your next move in politics? Maybe a role in Albany?”

The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.
