Weird how Iran and the US are always close to reaching a deal every weekend just before the stock market opens.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
BREAKING: Trump tells Axios the United States is “in deep negotiations” with Iran and says a deal could be reached before his Tuesday deadline. “There is a good chance, but if they don’t make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there,” he said.

Part of what makes Trump’s reluctance to aid Ukraine so maddening is that “resist conquest by a neighboring country” is a classic achievable goal.
Ukrainians need a lot of help because Russia is much bigger, but it’s totally doable.

A consistent theme of the last 25 years is that the American military is tactically brilliant, which repeatedly leads politicians to come up with ambitious strategic goals for the use of military force that can’t really be achieved.

Our political culture and national leadership are now so degraded by MAGA that a US president has no problem dropping f-bombs in public communications, threatening war crimes, and mocking the second-biggest religion in the world.
(And, yes, destroying any of the power plants in Tehran would clearly meet the definition of a war crime.)

@JonahDispatch That’s a real post? Hmmm. Does not look real.

@neoavatara @KurtSchlichter Anyone rational would take that trade.
English
@KurtSchlichter I mean...90% of Americans happily will take that trade.

Wrong, I remember repeated claims 4+ weeks.
“Early Statements
• He told outlets like the Daily Mail and The New York Times that the operation was planned to last four to five weeks, while noting the US had the capability to go “far longer” if needed.
• Trump and his administration described the US as being “ahead of schedule” in the early weeks, even as the conflict extended beyond the initial projection. “

Keep seeing tweets like "hopefully Trump uses the rescue of the downed airmen as an off-ramp to end the war" and I am amazed at how many people on this website seem to have been born yesterday
English
@rr1955 @glcarlstrom Give me a break. According to him, he thought it would last three days only. ynetnews.com/article/rj4xwe…
English
Right, he says plans and timeline in plane English, but with TDS, they don’t believe him. They claim no plans or timeline, I wasn’t born yesterday, why I know Trump will end it with a bang and get out in short order. If you don’t know that you were born yesterday and have zero business sense.

@danielbarkeley @ModeledBehavior You are moving the goalposts. The original post was accurate.
English
@ModeledBehavior Is the Chrysler brand's decline worse than Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, Eagle, or Mercury?
Those brands have significantly less than 120k in annual unit sales (none), and yet their parent companies are doing just fine.
The focus one historic brand is not sensible.
English
Chrysler makes 13 models of vehicles across 3 brands and sold 1.2 million vehicles last year.
But by all means, keep spouting those auto industry hot takes.
You're doing great, champ.
Adam Ozimek@ModeledBehavior
Big 3 is a bit of a misnomer now. Chrysler is owned by Stellantis, only makes one model of vehicle, sold 126,000 vehicles last year.

@neoavatara @AGHamilton29 Seems high probability that she is anti Iran regime. Lots of daughters reject the politics of their parents.
English
@AGHamilton29 YUP.
I keep saying that this is really the biggest immigration question confronting us.
English
This is absolutely be the question people should be asking. It’s crazy.
We have zero real standards and vetting. This isn’t some estranged daughter who escaped from Iran. The result is so to undermine the otherwise valid arguments for the benefits of legal immigration.
Sunny@sunnyright
Why the fuck did Ali Larijani’s daughter have permanent residency in the United States?

@DIREWOLF817 @Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar It doesn’t matter if everyone he ever talked to is dead. The regime is still in place.
English
@FlattsBridge @Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar Yeah that one is dead too they are just not admitting it and because he likely died in Russia it will be a long time before it leaks out.

TWO STATEMENTS BY TRUMP 7 MINUTES APART:
Trump at 9:00: "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that"
Trump at 9:07: "Regime change is what we want. It is needed"
These statements were made 7 minutes apart in the same speech

And on Monday morning, an hour before the markets open, Trump will announce that Iran has agreed to a deal.
Later in the day, Iran will say they have no idea what he is talking about and they will launch more missiles.
*Walter Bloomberg@DeItaone
Trump says Iran has 48 hours to make deal or US will unleash 'Hell'

@ianbremmer Also, taking the island oil terminal is not the same as taking the oil. The oil comes from other places.
English
“taking the oil” is a coherent response. but it’s unacceptable as justification for war—this is not a war goal americans would support.
English
if the united states has
1) already destroyed iran’s military capabilities
2) has the ability to hit iran at any point if they try to gain access to their enriched uranium and
3) isn’t interested in (or has already achieved) regime change
all of which president trump has said repeatedly
what is the point of continuing the war?
how can it be justified to the american people, never mind the rest of the world?
English
@Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar I love “regime change” when the guy in power has the same name as the last guy in power.

@mattyglesias It’s too hot in much of the south to walk everywhere.
English
What’s perverse about America is that we have the most walkable built environment mostly in the places with the worst weather.
Boston MSA leads in walking commute mode share, imagine if they had San Diego’s weather.
Benjamin NetanYolo@NetanYolo
I would guess 75% of this country deals with either freezing winters or 105+ degree summers. Shut the fuck up already about “walkability”.
English
@ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar Why lie?
From the speech:
“Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ death. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.”
Taqiyya?

Early reports from Iranian media suggesting US pilot in custody.
Would take this with a large grain of salt, and hope it’s not the case.
As it would be a significant escalation.
