SCOOP: CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Trump and other senior officials that intelligence gathered by the U.S. raised serious doubts about Iran's willingness to make the nuclear concessions the U.S. is seeking in a final deal https://t.co/aR4FPTMubZ

So much socialisming.

[Ken Gardner @KenGardner11]

Trump deserves to be impeached and removed from office. The only reason why I still hope the removal part doesn't happen is that JD Vance would then become POTUS. Which somehow seems even worse than another two years plus of Trump.

Marco Rubio needs to get the hell out.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

When Marco Rubio is silent and JD Vance is all over the media, you know bad things are happening

Karmelo Anthony’s dad, Drew Anthony, in messages to Sarah Fields on Facebook attacked her and said his son wasn’t a murderer, he was “defending hisself”, and that if Fields’ taught had defended herself, she wouldn’t have been molested at the age of six.

Here's the amazing thing about written agreements: they are comprised of words we can all read and then form opinions about! It's really neat! So release the MOU text. Now. Don't keep it secret and then complain that people aren't trusting your version of events.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

A reminder that Podcastan has spent the last few months claiming daily that Israel controls the U.S. and the Trump admin without allowing for the possibility we just have shared interests.

Now that the Trump admin is signing a deal that Israel clearly views as bad for them, the same people will just pretend they haven’t been pushing that conspiratorial lie on a daily basis and insist their audiences continue to take them seriously as they move on to the next conspiracy.

"Why can Israel have nukes but not Iran?"

"Why can a sane person own a gun but not a homeless schizophrenic crackhead?"

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

There's a lot of speculation and analysis of this "deal" with Iran, but what's missing is any solid and clear reason to trust President Trump or his Cabinet. He might be doing the best thing, but we have no reason but "trust me, bro" to trust him. That's going to shake out badly.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

This is an American surrender

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

Trump has surrendered to Iran. Those who kill Americans love this deal.

[Ted S @ClearReason]

If $3 billion for Israel outrages you,

but reports of a $300 billion package for Iran don’t,

it was never about the money.

[Clifford Asness @CliffordAsness]

OK, there were two potentially rational strategies (with proponents of both in violent disagreement)

1) Don’t start a war at all

2) Start and continue a war until you clearly win

I’m not arguing for either here.

But starting a war, reducing a cancer but not killing it always being the worst idea possible, and then stopping by doing your best Obama-deal imitation, seems to be the worst possible strategy. If Dr. Strange went through millions of scenarios he’d say “this is the only one we lose in.”

Oh, and while the agreement is to stop fighting, there is nothing close to an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program which, uh, WAS THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT. Trump actually says something like “they don’t even want a nuclear weapon anymore.” If anyone believes that they aren’t merely dumb they are “call the Guinness people (the world record ones not the brown ale ones though they might be useful too) we have found the dumbest person” dumb. Trump doesn’t believe that. Yes the Iranian terrorists wouldn’t take a nuke if we built it for them now. Right.

Why is this happening? Hard to be precise.

Doing this to appease the woke right whose ire you underestimated is just disgusting cowardice.

Doing it to drive oil prices down before the midterms is grossly incompetent as you really didn’t know oil prices would soar? Really? Nobody in war planning knew that? That’s new information to you? And if you care about the midterms so much why’d you endorse the disgusting “disqualified in any rational world” (yes, along with Platner) Paxton in Texas putting it play?

None of this makes any sense at all. Horrible. Just horrible.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

This is just a plainly false moving of the goalposts.

The entire opposition to the JCPOA was based on it still allowing Iran to enrich at low levels, knowing they’d cheat.

Heck, here’s Trump saying “no” enrichment. It’s been a major redline.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Yikes.

Either this is just an attempt at public spin or demonstrates an astonishing level of ignorance about the Islamic Republic and their goals.

The Islamists who just murdered 40K of their own people earlier this year and have spent almost 5 decades terrorizing the world aren’t suddenly repentant and peace-seeking. Their goals haven’t changed because they are driven by an extreme ideology that requires the destruction of western civilization and complete control.

You can make short-term deals with them to avoid immediate conflict, but it is not helpful to anyone to ignore the reality of the enemy we face.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

Yesterday, Russia killed 11 Christians while blowing up a historic church.

Not a single member of Podcastistan, who have repeatedly claimed to care deeply about such things, has denounced it.

Weird, right?

[Han Shawnity 🇺🇸 @HanShawnity]

China is watching today's events closely, and they now know that if they so much as lift a finger toward Taiwan, Trump is going to respond harshly by signing a deal and giving them Thailand and Vietnam along with full sovereignty over the South China Sea.

They better be careful.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I think the compromise consensus position for pretty much everybody of good faith should be that the full text of the agreement be released. There’s no reason to take Trump’s word or Iran’s or random leakers’ word for it. Release the text, period.
