BREAKING: France just threw a major roadblock in front of Trump’s Iran deal.
French officials say they will not approve lifting U.N. sanctions on Iran until they are satisfied with a final agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. As a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, France has veto power over the process. (Reuters)
Trump may have signed a deal.
That doesn’t mean the rest of the world is ready to sign off on it.
Letterman: Let me ask you one question. Did I make a fool of myself?
MSNOW: No. You were terrific.
Letterman: All right, we'll come back later after I've had a couple of drinks.
PabloReports: What do you think about the Iran deal?
Booker: Trump said his goal was unconditional surrender. I just didn’t realize that the unconditional surrender he was talking about was America’s. He’s betrayed the United States. We don’t get a $300 billion reconstruction fund. This is an unmitigated disaster.
Jessica: Talarico is standing outside Paxton's office asking about how this admitted molester got a deal where he was only in jail for 29 days.
Watters: That has been debunked.
Jessica: It hasn’t actually.
Watters: We’ve been debunking it for weeks.
Jessica: It’s literally what happened.
Watters: We don’t have time to explain it to you.
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
🚨 WOW! Secretary Blinken confirms a massive Pentagon disaster. He reveals Trump halted the war because Washington literally ran out of munitions!
He exposes how US stockpiles are severely depleted. Trump's aggression resulted in a total strategic failure for the empire.
BREAKING: LOL! Trump flies into a total panic over the Reflecting Pool algae as a leaked email reveals that his administration has labeled it a "national priority" and is scrambling to hire cleaners.
This has turned into one of his defining disasters...
According to an email obtained by MeidasTouch, National Park Service employees have been informed that "additional personnel" are being recruited to "assist immediately" with "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
This new development is just the latest humiliation for Trump in this never-ending pool saga. First, he wasted $13 million "renovating" the pool in a desperate bid to shore up some kind of physical legacy for himself. Then, when disgusting green algae bloomed in the pool, he sent in workers to vacuum up the growth. When that failed, he had his minions dump hydrogen peroxide in, which only resulted in more discoloration.
With his big July 4th celebrations just around the corner, he's desperate to fix the problem. The email explains that workers are needed for 12-hour shifts performing “scrubbing and pump out operations." It describes the problem as a "regional and national priority."
Yet again, we see Trump focusing on something that doesn't matter at all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas. There has never been a more checked out, lazy, out-of-touch President.
On top of that, this is another reminder of this man's staggering incompetence. He made a huge deal out of cleaning up and beautifying the pool and now he can't even manage that.
Please ❤️ and share if you're loving this algae!
Trump Tower Was Ground Zero For Epstein's Sex Recruiting — And The Bait Was Trump
How much more damning can it get?!! This is completely fucking insane.
According to a buried FBI interview from June 19, 2020, in the early 1990s the public atrium of Trump Tower was being used as an open hunting ground for young women and children.
A woman who worked at a nearby luxury shoe store was studying on her lunch break when two men approached her. They were openly "constantly picking up" women in the building.
One of them immediately started the pitch:
"You know who Donald Trump is?"
"Want to meet him?"
"You don't need to work so hard going to school."
Winked and said Trump "could do whatever you liked."
When she declined the clear sex offer, they switched to:
"Come to a party then." She could bring a friend — as long as the friend looked like her and wasn't a man.
The invitation had Jeffrey Epstein's address.
After she said no, the death threats began. They knew exactly where she worked. For the next six months she watched the same two men escort girls who looked 15 or 16 years old up the escalators inside Trump Tower.
Trump Tower wasn't just a building. It was Ground Zero for Epstein's pedophile sex trafficking — and operating in plain sight, in Trump's own flagship property.
Every fucking day we understand why Trump is hellbent on NEVER allowing the Epstein files to see the light of day. This is beyond damning.
THE INSIDE STORY OF VOZINHA’S MOM COMING TO THE U.S., FROM THE MAN WHO MADE IT HAPPEN: @RepJeffries 🇺🇸🏆
The Cape Verdean goalkeeping hero’s mother will get to see him play at the World Cup ❤️
Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.
Nichols: He really thought that he was going to collapse the Iranian regime and then walk through the streets of a free Tehran while they were dedicating a statue to him. He was on a sugar high from toppling the president of Venezuela. His popularity was cratering, the economy was going in the wrong direction. And I think like a lot of autocrats, he said, a splendid little war in the Middle East where I emerge the hero will be great.
And now he's admitting they blackmailed me with the international economy, and I'm paying the blackmail because I have to.
Marshall: You have assets that are going to be unfrozen. What do we get? We get a strait that was opened before reopened. We get a temporary hold on no tolls.
This is why have you bipartisan support against this. This is why I agree with Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Trey Gowdy. It's a bad deal when people like them and I are agreeing on this.
