Fetterman: We're losing generations in my party to supporting Israel. So I don't follow the polls. You know? I'm going to follow the moral clarity of Israel.

He pisses me off just as much as Manchin used to. But at least Manchin was honest about representing his conservative state. Fetterman doesn't come from a conservative state. Fox News loves the guy. Mark Levin just said if he lived in PA he'd vote for Fetterman. Fuck this guy.

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

Good fucking morning to everybody except John Fetterman, who bailed out Trump yesterday by voting to advance Markwayne Mullin as DHS Secretary. What a disgrace you’ve become.

John Fetterman threatening to leave the Democratic Party is fucking hilarious given the fact that did that very thing long ago.

🚨 REPORTER: Trump 🇺🇸 says Iran is completely destroyed? RETD. USAF COLONEL: “At least half their missile forces still exist… they can down our aircraft” TRUMP GOT EXPOSED 💥

BREAKING: Stephe Colbert just perfectly picked apart Donald Trump’s Board of Peace sham. This is amazing.

🚨 BREAKING: The “Board of Peace,” led by “the man of peace,” Trump, launches its first war…

You guys… I’m starting to think the Board of Peace was a scam.

He took $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars and put it into his own account offshore for his “Board of Peace.”

Why doesn't trump ask his board of peace people for help reopening the Strait of Hormuz????

So what was the alternative? No deal? Pre-JCPOA, Iran faced massive secondary sanctions but was only 2-3 months from enough enriched uranium for a bomb. The JCPOA made them get rid of a lot of their enriched uranium and put them back to 3.67%, and there were a LOT of other limitations. The JCPOA lifted only the nuclear-related secondary sanctions but yes, also freed up some frozen assets + oil revenue. Trump ripped it up and imposed massive sanctions back, but look where we're at now. That obviously didn't work because Iran's economy tanked, but they still hit 60% enrichment with breakout now in days/weeks. The regime always prioritizes proxies over its people. Terrorists will always find a way. So you say it's a bad deal, but I don't get how you think ripping up the deal was a better option.

Zarif is nobody now ! IRGC replaced him effectively once Americans killed JCPOA

@McFaul The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) data is the gold standard on this. Before the US withdrawal from the JCPOA the IAEA was on the ground with full access to Iran's uranium stockpile. The record is very clear.

@ABC Fourth strike on a nuclear power plant. A security guard is dead. JCPOA had inspectors on the ground and Iran at 3.67% enrichment. Trump tore it up. Now we're bombing nuclear facilities, Iran is at 60% enrichment, and a pilot is missing behind enemy lines. This is the plan?

2015 #JCPOA deal negotiated by major powers with Iran & endorsed by UN Security Council significantly limited its nuclear capacity. The deal was abandoned by 1st Trump administration: cfr.org/backgrounders/…

I assume that a new deal could have been negotiated at the end of the JCPOA. That happened often in other treaties. (And effective treaties do not rely on trust; they rely on effective verification.). We negotiated New START with Russia in 2010, with a regime much richer and stronger than the USSR, which signed START I in 1991. But that was an assumption, not a certainty. I'm not the expert on Iran; you are. Post JCPOA with no limits would have been a disaster; on this, we agree. And now I'm leaving this debate for the historians. Really not that relevant for our current situation. (PS , you did not show me the graph for 2015, but made a new argument. But Im moving on)

(3/10) In short: President Trump made a terrible decision to tear up the Iran nuclear deal (“JCPOA”) in 2017 and replace it with nothing. The Obama Administration put Iran’s nuclear program in a box, President Trump let it out.

Iran has more uranium at higher levels of enrichment because Trump tore up the 2015 nuclear agreement! Had we stayed in the JCPOA, they would not have it today.
