Lying + gaslighting + massive corruption + sheer incompetence + utter stupidity + a willingness to kill as many Americans as possible either through authoritarianism or through anti-science horseshit + an utter lack of patriotism and respect for the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and all that actually *did* serve to make this country great + dreaming of totalitarianism + bringing back Jim Crow + betraying our allies + rewarding our enemies + a stupid overseas war + a lousy economy + massive inflation that deserves its own place in the equation + a dimwitted trade policy + sub-morons who support it all because they think it OWNS THE LIBS + a lot of other stuff that I am sure I have forgotten about = America at 250.

If you don’t like the stuff to the left of the equals sign, there is no reason whatsoever to like the stuff to the right. https://t.co/BCfJRREXOh

[Pejman Yousefzadeh 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @Pejmanesque]

Not low enough.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

NEW: Trump’s approval rating hits 28%. The lowest for any president in U.S. history.

[Olena Rohoza @OlenaRohoza]

Meanwhile, the genius J.D. is explaining that World War II ended through negotiations.

Ah yes, those legendary Churchill–Hitler negotiations of 1945. How could we possibly have forgotten them?

That’s what I love about Trump’s “young team” — you can never predict what ridiculous thing they’ll say next.

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

And we are all getting fleeced by Trump.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Trump is getting fleeced by Iran

The deal:
• $24B cash + oil sales
• Just 60 days of open Hormuz
Iran pockets $30B+ in two months

Day 61, Iran can close Hormuz again, and repeat the extortion

Massive loss for Trump—Huge win for Iran

[Pejman Yousefzadeh 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @Pejmanesque]

Not even half-prophetic.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Idiocracy was truly prophetic.

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

This was Mitt in 2022. Three years later, she was our director of national intelligence. Decline is a choice.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

I missed the History Channel documentary on how FDR negotiated the end of WWII with Hitler.

[Praise @tufpraise]

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Beyond parody.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Now, if only we can make it clear to the idiots who voted for that crook that had consequences inevitably follow, we can recover from this mess.

Problem is, given the political environment and the surplus of stupid in America, that particular triple axle is hard to jump and even harder to land.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

I'm sure all the people who spent years attacking Obama for giving "pallets of cash" to Iran will be just as outraged by Trump telling the UAE to give Iran $10 billion, right?

[Pejman Yousefzadeh 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @Pejmanesque]

I *can’t* understand “the bristling,” seeing as how The Trump cult very definitely is the stupidest and most dangerous cult in American history.

And given how influential America and American power are around the world . . . well, you know the rest, don’t you?

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

A lot of people bristle when you say, or suggest, that Trumpism is a cult, and I can understand the bristling. But listen to the man below. He is a member of Congress. Is this not, at a minimum, "some weird sh**," to quote George W. Bush in a different (though related) context?

[Pejman Yousefzadeh 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @Pejmanesque]

Remember stupid statements like this when Marco Rubio eventually tries to run for president.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Rubio: President Kennedy announced that we were going to put a man on the moon. We did it. We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do. And at some level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

CNN aired a montage of Trump’s past claims that the U.S. was on the cusp of a deal with Iran, with Anderson Cooper noting that today’s announcement marks the 39th time he’s made a similar claim.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

That’s called a bribe.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

One time loretta lynch was on the same tarmac as Bill Clinton and went into his plane to talk.

@BretBaier has done 176 segments on that outrageous breach of Justice Department norms.
