Ok, but picture Iran in five years if this deal is legit: no sanctions, frozen assets are returned, they have nukes, they charge a toll at Hormuz. They own the Middle East, right?


If President Trump lets the Iranians charge a toll for ships in the Strait of Hormuz, then every time you fill up your car at the pump, you will put money straight in the pockets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This would be a humiliating disaster for the US.


Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history


For what it's worth, I think America should cancel its alliance with Israel, which is obviously a bad and unhelpful ally. But unlike leftists and rightists, I don't actually think canceling it will fix any of our fundamental problems, or help people in Gaza.

44% of Talarico voters said his criticism of Israel was important to them and swayed their vote for him. Over 1 in 5 voters (22%) said reducing support for Israel was a top-three factor in their vote, while just 2% said the same for increasing or maintaining support for Israel.




It’s incredible how absent Democratic Party leadership is in the face of Trump blowing up the entire fucking world.


With some edits (see below), this could have been a much better post.


if you didn’t vote for the democrats in the last election because “both sides were the same”, why are you now on twitter wailing for the democrats to save you from the current administration lol

The President has lost his mind.

What if the whole LLM thing is a false start? If the flaws are inherent systemic problems - if the compounding of hallucinations/errors can't be sorted out? If the capex build out is one of the biggest misallocations of capital ever? Then what? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
