Just 3 hours after Trump blocked the Strait of Hormuz,
Iran officials have reached out to Washington for a second face-to-face negotiation.
Everything got clearer to Iran after a Chinese linked ship, Rich Starry, made a u-turn at the Strait of Hormuz because of the US blockade.
And it may be difficult for them this time that the Strait of Hormuz leverage is no longer there.

@Antonio_Duscio @HarmlessHQ That’s ok no one insists that you be right. It’s perfectly ok to be wrong
English

@HarmlessHQ I call BS. China or Russia would not allow the USA to strongarm them like this, nor will the USA provoke them.

@Blueelectron4 @TheWapplehouse No shot. And stop walking up on people on cars

@TheWapplehouse If I have only 1 piece of advice to give to everyone out there it's don't start bar fights. You do not know who the other guy is and what he's capable of.

@KenGardner11 @Free_Speech_1A You’re 100% correct on the storage problem. In 10-13 days Iran will have to begin shutting down wells which brings along another constellation of problems
English

I’m going to make many of you spitting mad at me for pointing this out, but now that we have started the naval blockade, Iran’s strategic position (which was already hopeless) has become terminal. They are soon going to run out of storage space for their oil. And we haven’t even yet taken Kharg Island. This will force them to shut down current oil production, which itself is a drastic step that will further wreck their economy. Without their oil money, they’re finished. And no one is coming to save them, either. Nobody wants to mess with the two best militaries on the planet.
Meanwhile, pretty much the entire rest of the globe is demanding that Iran reopen the strait. And because markets always adjust, the Gulf states are already adopting workarounds in order to avoid this same problem in the future.
When the history of this war is written, it will be recorded that the regime’s decision to close the strait was a colossal miscalculation that relied too heavily on short term consequences (a hike in the price of oil, coupled with the belief that nations would unite against us rather than them). In chess, there is a famous quote to the effect that the threat is always stronger than the execution. Here, the threat to close the strait was stronger, especially with Trump and with countries in Europe and the Far East. The decision to close the strait was never going to work as long as we refused to budge. And it has greatly weakened Iran’s position.
The same point applies to Iranian attacks on energy structure and desalination plants. Once they went beyond mere threats to actual attacks, they weakened their position and strengthened our resolve and those of our allies.
Now everyone fully understands the risk of the regime’s ability to blackmail the global economy on top of all their other shit. The Gulf states now understand the folly of hoping that the alligator would eat them last, and are now working on a closer alliance with U.S. and Israel.
I don’t know how much longer this war will last. But don’t bitch at me when I say that we have had a clear strategic plan from the beginning and that it is playing out. Once we decided that Iran was not going to surrender immediately, we decided to begin the death grip with the blockade. The rest is now a matter of time, patience, and persistence.

If Trump manages to pull this off, it will be an absolutely incredible feat of brinkmanship, and he'll get pretty much no credit for it...

BREAKING: Iran says it could suspend Uranium enrichment for up to five years, an offer the Trump administration has rejected, insisting on 20 years, according to two senior Iranian officials and one US official.

I feel like my family has an excessive amount of laundry. I can never ever get ahead. It is always just mountains of laundry. I do laundry every week yet there are always mountains of it
I tend to wash all the clothes & fold/put them away within 1-2 days
I have started paying attention. I did all of the laundry 7 days ago. Today I did all of the laundry again
I have 6 pairs of clothes to put away. That makes sense
My daughter has 12
My son has 15 somehow
I don’t excessively change my children’s clothes & tbh when they’re home they are so often in the backyard in their underwear so HOW ARE THERE SO MANY CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY
Dude has 8 pairs of shorts/pants but 12 (!!!!) tshirts + 5 days of work uniform (so that makes it 14 pairs of clothes, but 5 days of those non-work clothes he would only have worn for a few hours in the evening after taking off uniform & he generally doesn’t do anything too strenuous on weekday evenings so those clothes aren’t really dirty)
MY FAMILY IS JUST THROWING CLEAN FUCKING CLOTHING INTO THE HAMPERS I AM GONNA LOSE MY MIND

@magills_ So who’s the friend? I’m sure he or she recalls this

When dudes do this it’s called teabagging but what is it when the ladies do it?

I support the ethics committee’s investigation and believe Eric Swalwell is no longer fit to be a Member of Congress. He should be expelled from Congress.
I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell.
I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew.
The women who have come forward have shown courage. They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.

@pennyelizabeths @SweetVaBreezy It’s rude.
If I have mine in - which I rarely do unless I’m at the gym or walking alone - I always take one or both out if I am interacting with someone. (Removing one stops the stream)
People deserve your full attention in these settings

@SweetVaBreezy I work with people who will come in my office to yell questions at me, refuse to take their ear buds out or stop their murder podcasts and make me repeat my answer 3 times.

It’s better than everyone around them having to listen to whatever they are hearing.

Anyone without a religious background still understands the religious imagery. It's so insulting to all of our intelligence that we've had to spend 11 fucking years engaging the world's stupidest lies from this man
Matt Jones@KySportsRadio
Absurd, but he is absurd. Everyone with one ounce of a religious background understood the religious imagery

@SusanK1717 @jbarro Same.
First of all the meme is stupid and ill-advised but they can’t all be bangers.
More importantly: Are these Christians so weak in their theology? Can it not withstand stupidity or a joke that fails to land? Or - hear me out - is this just the latest club to strike with?

@BlueDauntless @mikerreports Lawyers have to do all this shit and more to ensure they don’t catch an ineffective assistance of counsel writ
And they still do.

@mikerreports There’s no where near can go that people haven’t heard of this case. This is just another stall tactic.

🗞️Tyler Robinson's defense is expected to call a prominent trial consultant to the witness stand Friday, one whose past clients include Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger.
Dr. Bryan Edelman helped Kohberger's defense convince Judge John Judge to grant their request for a change of venue with a controversial jury pool survey.
He is expected to testify Friday that internet algorithms can promote coverage and commentary about Robinson's charges in Utah County, potentially compromising the jury pool, as the defense vies to have news cameras kicked out of the courtroom.
