The money is not being given by Trump nor American taxpayers. Gulf nations want a stable and de-radicalized Iran and are willing to invest in that, this makes clear we are not going to prevent it as long as they behave. It is not our money, not a gift, and American housing has nothing to do with it.

@Jayy_Hardyy252 @DGAFnu @11point7 Weird in the age of Google and AI, that so many people want to discuss this without bothering to check the rule, which makes it absolutely clear why this is not a catch.

The Dez Bryant rule has made its way to college baseball. Catch or no catch?

@SonnyBunch I mean it’s Mark Twain obviously. Hat tip to Ernest Hemingway, but it’s Twain.

@SwannMarcus89 It’s not that they are supportive. They think America is based on ethnonationalism because they think America is bad.

@aliamjadrizvi @MarioNawfal Would be a tough break for Carney and the rest of the leadership who get killed on day one. But, yeah, probably a good deal overall.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: Bloomberg has reportedly published the full MOU, and it ends the war "on ALL FRONTS." The 12 points: -Tehran, Washington, and their allies declare an immediate and final end to the war on ALL FRONTS. -All sides pledge no hostile action and to refrain from threats. -Both pledge to reach a final agreement within 60 days, extendable. -The U.S. lifts the naval blockade on Iran immediately upon signing. -The U.S. pledges to withdraw its forces from the region within 30 days of the final agreement. -Iran works to resume ship movement within 30 days, including removing obstacles. -Washington will help rehabilitate and develop Iran's economy with regional partners, and end sanctions on an agreed timeline. -Iran reiterates it will NEVER produce nuclear weapons, with the fate of enriched material deferred to the final deal. -Both maintain the status quo until then: Iran keeps its current nuclear program, the U.S. adds no sanctions or forces. -Washington exempts Iranian oil and related banking from sanctions. -Washington releases frozen Iranian funds, with final negotiations beginning once implementation guarantees are met. -The final agreement is locked in by a binding UN Security Council resolution. The two words that just detonated in Jerusalem sit in point one: "all fronts." Source: Bloomberg / Writer: Daniel

@wesyang Meh. I largely share your views on gender. What annoys me about the MO is a woman crap (especially at an MMA match on the Whitehouse lawn) is how fucking stupid it is. I like people who can tell men from women, but are also not too dumb to vaccinate their children.

Michelle Obama is of course a biological woman. But what’s of interest about the liberal outrage over the retarded chud claim that she is a man is that what matters in this to them (and all cases where someone is misgendered) is that Obama identifies as a woman and uses she/her pronouns. That is to say that it is outrageous to call Obama a man in the same way it is outrageous to call Elliott Page a woman — Obama’s biology grants her claim to be a woman no greater standing than Laverne Cox’s.

@11point7 I'm shocked they overturned this; that feels like the type of play that is too close to overturn.

@wiseOwl1984 @kirbyssmart @11point7 Personally, I wouldn’t be screaming it’s a catch because (a) I know the rules, and (b) I’m not a moron who goes around saying something is 100% when I have no fucking clue what I am talking about.

@kirbyssmart @11point7 Yeah you’re probably right. But you can’t tell me you wouldn’t be screaming “that’s a catch” just like I would if that had been us….. be honest….. 😂

🚨 ​I just spoke with a senior White House official (whom I trust 100%): ​He laughed at how everyone who correctly points out that the Iranian regime lies about everything is suddenly believing what it publishes about the MOU, and losing their minds over it. ​He shared the actual details of the deal with me, which are VERY DIFFERENT from what the regime is claiming: ​🔸 ZERO CASH released to the regime. Some of the frozen funds will be unfrozen for humanitarian purchases only, and every single purchase must be approved by the US. He emphasized that all the money in the MOU is tied to Iran's actual nuclear concessions, not just for talking ("pay for performance," not "pay to play"). ​🔸 ZERO ENRICHED MATERIAL: Unlike what is being claimed, the US stance is that ALL enriched uranium (including all 60%, 20%, and 3.67% enriched material) will be taken out of Iran or diluted to make it unusable. ​🔸 The only sanctions relief is a temporary 60-day window on oil sales, which will snap back into place at the end of the 60 days if no deal is reached.

@DavidDeutschOxf @HexagonKri33900 @Preschel @IMAO_ Can you explain? As, I also have trouble seeing how "self-made abilities" is on firmer philosophical ground than "gifts from god." We can speculate about unfalsifiable theories implied by observable facts (the multiverse). But mind-first ideas seem to contradict all evidence.

There is no genetic component to IQ. The only reason we build space rockets and squirrels don’t is the social component.

@GrahamCoffeyDC @joelklatt The problem is you have a wide range of different schools, with different levels of institutional integrity. Including crappy schools like LSU and FSU and Auburn (and apparently Texas Tech) that are basically just sports programs with a remedial education program.

@joelklatt This is correct. The NCAA is the schools. That’s all it is. The schools don’t have enforcement because they won’t accept it when they’re the one on the hot seat. The people complaining about the mess made the mess

So do I understand this correctly? Ireland will have to move its game with Israel for fear the Irish will physically assault or kill Jews?
