"... if by liberal they mean one who looks ahead, not backward, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of ppl — their health, housing, schools, jobs, civil rights, civil liberties — then I am proud to be a liberal." JFK, 1960

Truly — historians, sociologists, and psychiatrists of the future will be making up legends about this period of time.

This was literally the underlying premise of Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, which Trump tore up for no goddamn good reason.

US Vice President JD Vance says if Iran commits to not have a nuclear weapon, 'we are going to make Iran economically thrive'.

The man who spent a year literally begging for a Nobel peace prize is attacking the pope for advocating for…peace.

VANCE: What they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world. As the President showed, two can play at that game.

No healthcare for you because of the war, but luxury private jets and ballrooms for them

Sam Stein@samstein

There is a certain 'we don't give a fuck' element to this that is just astounding. They spent weeks insisting this was going to be used for deportations and now they're gonna just hand it to Melania? the-independent.com/news/world/ame…

We’ll probably never find out how much money this man has stolen. Y’all let a scammer in office not once, but twice.

If Trump had simply left the original Iran deal in place that Obama negotiated we’d be safer, have more $$$, and those dead Americans would still be here.

From a friend: “Am I keeping score correctly? Before the war Iran had 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz was open. And now Iran has 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz might open but with Iran charging a huge toll.”

The ceasefire gives Iran control over the Strait of Hormuz, which it did not have before Trump launched the war. The regime is still in place, it still has enriched uranium, the capability to shoot missiles at drones at its neighbors. What, other than chaos, did Trump achieve?

Ben Rhodes@brhodes·8 Nis

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz… …which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.

Before Trump’s war the Strait of Hormuz was open, sanctions were in place, and gas was $2.39. Now Iran controls the Strait, sanctions will be lifted, gas is $4.99, 13 Americans are dead, over 300 injured, and the loss of hundreds of billions in aircraft and U.S. base repairs.

Trump routinely threatening war crimes as a matter of policy may explain why he got so mad about Dems saying troops shouldn't carry out illegal orders.
