@SnarkMessier @vzmercogliano Should and will are two totally different things here.

@vzmercogliano In your infinite wisdom, what are the chances that we see Conor Sheary brought back next season?

Last call for podcast questions 🗣️

@scottmelker Maybe stop listening to TehranBob?

Missiles in Israel. Missiles in UAE. Iran declaring victory, saying they will control Hormuz, enrich Uranium, collect reparations. Something is not adding up here.

@JulianAltobelli @BrianKirschner_ Not a Rors fan but yeah, he's just soaking it in. Will be lucky to be T10.

@BrianKirschner_ The way Rory is talking I wouldn’t bet on him winning. He’s just happy to be there, he could miss the cut and wouldn’t give af

If you are a Masters past champion and have a real chance to win this week (Rahm, Scottie and Rory) how many drinks can you have at the Champions dinner that it won’t effect your play for the week or prep for Wednesday ? I’m going with 3 glasses of wine and cocktail

@mike3zhao @BrianKirschner_ He said people that have a real chance.

@BrianKirschner_ Hey Brian I think you forgot to add Spieth inside those parenthesis. Thanks

@PaigeSpiranac No wonder why the guy who saw you couldn't get a word out.

Cheers to one of the best weeks of the year!⛳️💚

@benjamincowen Curious - When the salesman says 'sticker is the best I can offer' do you just say 'ok I guess I'll pay full price' or do you turn around and start to walk away? Please be better than the others on here...stick to crypto, you're excellent at it.

oh hey look, the 4th deadline about this situation over the last month

@sarahadams PLEASE explain this to @ShawnRyan762 because somewhere along the way he went insane.

Negotiating with terrorists isn’t black and white. It’s leverage, pressure, timing, and consequence. What you’re seeing in moments like this isn’t chaos. It’s signaling. It’s about shaping the other side’s decision-making. These actors don’t respond to goodwill. They study hesitation, test limits, and exploit weakness. No pressure means they push further. Unclear consequences mean they take advantage. Not every threat gets carried out. But it has to be credible. That’s the point. This kind of negotiation isn’t about sounding reasonable. It’s about making escalation cost more than restraint. Strong language is often used to prevent conflict, not start it. Get it wrong and you risk escalation. Remove pressure and you invite it. The Iranian regime understands only one language. If the cost is not clear, they will test it. If it is clear and credible, they will calculate. youtube.com/shorts/QxUcd2z…

@RepSaraJacobs A reminder that the 19th Amendment should be abolished.

A reminder that anyone, in any part of the chain of command, can be personally prosecuted for committing a war crime, including genocide.

@MoonLamboio @cryptsycrackers In his defense, he thinks XRP is going to $10 so he's not really very smart to begin with.

@cryptsycrackers You have TDS, eh? You're asserting, with no evidence, that he engaged in abuse of children. I don't care if you don't like Trump, but you're off in conspiracy theory land with that egregious nonsense.

It’s all people with TDS that use “TACO” (Trump always chickens out) as a pejorative. Have you ever heard of bluffing? Trump has used bluffs his entire career. But ya never know what’s credible with him when he threatens something or insists on something in deal making… because sometimes he will indeed go further than people are expecting him to. So if he’s bluffing, and doesn’t follow through with the threat, that’s not chickening out. Because he knew he wouldn’t carry out the threat from the beginning… he just doesn’t want anyone else to know for sure how far he’ll take things. That’s what bluffing means. For him to “chicken out” he would have to: 1. Have intent to do something, genuinely 2. Not do that thing due to fear or concern that arises But if he always knew he wasn’t going to do the thing, then he was just bluffing, not chickening out. And now you know how words work. All that to say I find it unlikely Trump will destroy all bridges and all power plants in Iran. But that fact that everyone in the U.S. on the left and the right is taking Trump’s threat seriously shows that he has cultivated the uncertainty around him that he sought to. He’s happy to look like a mad man to observers so that his opponents will be more likely to capitulate.

@cryptsycrackers @MoonLamboio Saying one of our former allies is going to nuke us is the dumbest thing on X today...and you had a lot of competition!

@MoonLamboio You act really reasonable until Trump is concerned. He's going to fuck around and someone is going to decide they can't take the chance he's bluffing and start a war on our home soil. Perhaps a nuclear one if our allies(former) turn on us decisively.

@MoonLamboio One of the few intelligent comments today.

@satoxis To quote @mattvanswol , this you?

I REGRET VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

@ailanyus I'd cast all 5 of my votes for him!

If Trump was allowed to run in 2028, would you vote for him?

@0hour1 I wrote this a bit ago to someone : 8p - Strait opens. 2wk pause on bombings, oil plummets, market surges…until Israel bombs Iran in the next few days and we start all over….

Breaking Israel may not join in the ceasefire and may go ahead even if the United States withdraws.

@ForgiatoBlow47 Yep.

QUESTION: if You Had Known Trump Would Strike Iran, Would You Still Have Voted for Him?

@CryptoMichNL He literally wrote a book how he negotiates & people cannot figure it out because worthless bureaucrats start negotiations at what they want and get less. You start with the insane ask and settle for what you want. These 'experts' probably pay sticker at car dealerships too.

Absolute insanity people think that Trump will destroy an entire nation. He's playing chess.

@MarioNawfal I respectfully disagree that Iran's leaders are rational actors, but they want to salvage their infrastructure to continue their terroristic ways. So in that regard most of what you said is the most accurate on X today.

Trump and Iran WILL accept some form of ceasefire/delay tonight, and WILL end the war this month. Here's why... What most people don't realize, but the markets know very well: Trump has no choice but to end this war very soon Simple reason: 'It's the economy stupid' Trump is not 'insane', as some are saying. He went too far with his posts, but he did the same with Greenland, and with Canada, to name a few The Trump posting right now is the same Trump that tried hard to end the war in Ukraine, 'ended' the Gaza war (in theory), and credits himself with ending many other wars The Iran war is a tragic miscalculation: Was meant to be a Venezuela 2.0, but failed miserably Since then, Trump has abandoned all his initial objectives: Regime change, regime modification, controlling the Strait When he realized and accepted this new reality, Iran realized how much leverage they have by controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and they weren't gonna let that go unless they get concessions that make up for the massive destruction they faced But here's the reality: Iran doesn't want to keep getting bombed, and Trump doesn't want to crash the global economy Both parties want to end the war as soon as possible. They are currently going through a process in which each side realizes how much (or little) leverage they have, and what concession they need to make. Pakistan's request for a 2-week ceasefire likely came at Trump's request, with Iran hinting they will accept it. The ceasefire decision has already been made by both sides, and we will know about it shortly. And in relation to the war, I expect the war to end this month. Both Iran and Trump, no matter what you think of them, are rational actors

@benjamincowen @jackunheard Civilization has multiple meanings. Just like people don't understand "well regulated" meant something completely different in 1791 than it does today.

@snkypete @jackunheard regime and civilization are two different things. Words matter

I’m convinced Trump’s threat to Iran this morning was just a giant IQ test because holy sh*t some of you are dumb. Yeah guys, Trump is going to kill 90 million people at 8PM tonight. Use your brains for once.

@benjamincowen @jackunheard Because there's nothing to condemn. Iran has been terrorizing the world for 47yrs. Ending that regime is doing the entire world a favor. This is the only language they understand - and look, they're negotiating to give him exactly what he wants.

@jackunheard Why do you feel the need to defend everything he says? Regardless of if he acts on it, why can you not just condemn the statement?

@eg1701 @bennyjohnson Says the guy who probably pays sticker price when buying a car.

@bennyjohnson TACO time. As if Trump didn't make a call.

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif requests a two-week extension of Trump's deadline and a two-week ceasefire in exchange for Iran agreeing to open the Strait of Hormuz and to “allow for diplomacy to achieve a conclusive end to the war”
