@Tim_Walz Tim, before posting that, you might want to spend a minute in front of a mirror.
"Found a problem, ignored critics, hired friends, wasted money, declared success anyway" isn't exactly a description unique to one administration.
@ricwe123 This entire post boils down to: "Everyone who disagrees with me was fooled." …
That's a comforting narrative, but it's not an argument. More like an exercise in creative writing by a petulant lefty.
@mhdksafa That's often a confusion between income tax and net worth. Billionaires may pay little income tax in a given year if they don't realize income, but they often pay large amounts of capital gains, payroll, property, corporate, and other taxes.

@ImBreckWorsham The funny part is that if Trump had escalated, you'd call him reckless. If he negotiates, you call him weak. The conclusion was written before the facts arrived.

The $300 billion is being reported as a private investment fund backed largely by Gulf states and investors, not a $300 billion U.S. taxpayer giveaway. No money has been released, and any sanctions relief is reportedly contingent on Iranian compliance. Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear program, sanctions, and inspections are still under negotiation.
This isn't analysis. It's fan fiction.
