Truth bomb below…

@jimstewartson Luntz earned his bones as a pollster. He knows very little.

Is this a joke? I honestly can’t tell.

Hyper capitalism and oligopoly wins another one…

@RonFilipkowski @Acyn Just enough to spark another market rally!

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump has offered Iran the concept of a framework for a temporary memorandum of understanding outlining parameters to begin negotiations.

BREAKING: Two sources close to Trump's negotiation team say Trump is now completely backing away from the US-Iran deal, under "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its US domestic allies," urging him not to accept Iran‘s terms. After this, Trump posted an image of Mark 84 bomb on a fighter jet, with his signature "Thank you for your attention to this matter" catchphrase stenciled directly on the bomb, on Truth Social. Iran earlier warned already that the agreement "will be completely cancelled" due to ongoing US obstruction on key clauses. The deal that never existed is now publicly collapsing.

@groversmith1 @jbarro Damn! Beat me to it!

@jbarro He can decapitate a statue with his top hat...

How is this human thumb the president’s spokesman?

@Poeslawisalive @HormuzLetter He NEVER gets anything done, unless he can “wet his beak a little”.

@HormuzLetter Why don’t you just shut the fuck up for a minute and give the man a chance to get this done.

BREAKING: Iran warns the US-Iran agreement "will be completely cancelled" due to ongoing US obstruction on clauses including the release of Iran's $100 billion of frozen assets, with the US now trying to link them to nuclear concessions which Iran rejects, per Tasnim. The White House is now backing away from yesterday's "largely negotiated" claim, conceding the deal "could still fall apart," per senior US officials. Trump himself walked back urgency on Truth Social from yesterdays "deal coming shortly" to now stating "time is on our side" and saying the blockade "will remain in full force," which Iran also says needs to be lifted in order sign any agreement.

@KobeissiLetter The Taliban would like a word with Donald about Afghanistan…

BREAKING: President Trump releases a statement on the Iran deal.

Before people think this Trump surrender in Iran is a one off, remember: Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban that lead to our shameful withdrawal.

We all know that Iran was - and is - an extremist regime whose clerics and proxies have been harmful to the region and beyond, for decades. We also know that Obama struck the JCPOA to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons - a deal that had strict limits, independent monitoring, and verification metrics - and by all accounts, Iran was complying. But because the JCPOA was an Obama success, and Obama occupies a special place in Trump's ignorant, malignant, delusional, discombobulated, and highly disordered brain, Trump hated the Obama deal and tore it up. We all knew then this was a mistake. When Trump made the consequential decision to strike Iran - without approval (except from Netanyahu), without proffering clear goals (except Netanyahu's goals), and without an explanation for its timing (beyond the obvious truth that Netanyahu got over on him), the superiority of our military shone through, the Ayatollah was taken out, and Iran was weakened. But they were not "totally decimated" and they were certainly not "obliterated." Trump - as usual - put forth immediate bluster and bravado - more than his usual - even threatening war crimes with glee - while ignoring reality, because he doesn't live in reality. Trump - as usual - had little substance supporting his bravado - no follow-up, no creativity, no strategy, no forethought, no expertise, no accountability, no cause-and-effect analysis. Basically - no f*cking clue. So - here we are - months later - and the Iranian regime is intact, in possession of enriched uranium, and in control of a most significant energy waterway. There are dead Americans, and dead Iranian schoolchildren. Our allies in the Gulf have damages and costs. Our American allies, except Netanyahu, are disgusted and showed this by universally declining to join the ill-conceived war of choice. Russia and China are stronger. And our Treasury here in America is at least $30B lighter - some say it's way more than that. And American consumers - like you and me - hey Trump, remember us? We're out the most $ of all. Trump's polling has tanked, his blustery narratives less effective, his control over his loyalists is fraying. He needs to exit this conflict. Iran sees his predicament because he is such a transparent fool. The world wants a resolution. Reports now indicate that Iran is likely to receive billions of dollars, being permitted to continue to enrich uranium, and a maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz. What a f*cking surrender this would be - IF that is what is happening, but we have no clarity yet, that it is. Whatever the outcome proves to be, it won't be good. Trump needs an exit. Will Trump declare victory, nonetheless? Of course! It's the only thing he EVER does. Let's hope this is not another propagandized event. Unlike the Jan 6 insurrection - this must be a failure that stays a failure - maybe the costs at the gas pump with help. Maybe the media will finally help too. Trump's lies need to be treated like lies; like the ramblings of a naked octogenarian wannabe Emperor; like more failed efforts of a dysfunctional mind in decline. Which is exactly what ALL his lies now are.

Fuhrertech…

@whartonENG @mabhne @The_FJC Beastly…

@mabhne @The_FJC Yeah, ahhhh ... and ... ? That was B-E-F-O-R-E the Israel / U.S. / Coalition military intervention! Trump said months ago ... "It's TIME for the Iranian people to STEP up!!!" — you've done NOTHING!!!

@The_FJC I have little empathy for them. Taking videos from their apartment terraces, and waiting to have your government deposed by "bombs", ain't gonna cut it.

It’s actually much worse. There are Epstein victims who want to provide evidence to DOJ but are not being allowed to. But Ghislaine Maxwell gets two days with Blanche personally and then moves to a camp. The cover up is massive.

@SpeakerJohnson Obama would like a word, ya dummy…

President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.

@raylap @debbogonzalez @AdamKinzinger Shhhh. Don’t destroy three generations of Canadian satire by giving away the game…

@bdgordonatlarge @debbogonzalez @AdamKinzinger It’s very easy to fool Americans

Wow. Absolute surrender

@FPWellman @TheRickWilson @StevenCheung47 Do Bond Henchmen in bowler hats count as pros?

@StevenCheung47 “Professionals”

Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.

@raylap @debbogonzalez @AdamKinzinger I’m with you, but most folks here are bloody minded liberalists. As George S. Kaufmann told Grouch Mark: Satire is what closes after three performances…

@debbogonzalez @AdamKinzinger It was sarcasm

@AdamKinzinger @hurlgirl And to think, we could have kept the deal that Obama negotiated with Iran. The 13 American soldiers would still be Alive. America would be about 100 billion richer and countless Iranians would still be alive. Both economies would be better off the straight would be open.

@AdamKinzinger @Delavegalaw A total, uncapitulated, unconditional surrender.

YES ..

BINGO ..
