President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
@steviesmith@shanaka86 Not all. Not even most.
We just need to *make it to November*.
We = you = me = USA = Earth

Toddlers go to time out, reign in his tantrums.
Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.
His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.
Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.
You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.
Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?
But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.
And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.
If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.
@sentdefender Stubborn toddler upset no one wants to play with him? 🤔
When in doubt, just make it up.
Maybe stop talking a huge dump in our sandbox at recess? 💩
Every. Fucking. Day.
@Acyn You elected this. JFC.
@GOP this your guy?
@SenateGOP you chose not to impeach?
@HouseGOP you blindly abdicate your powers & support this man?
Granted, @SpeakerJohnson wouldn’t have his job w/o MAGA support.
Maybe don’t make a deal with the devil?
I’m sad for my country.
GFY
Leaving aside his false claim that nobody else has settled a war, here are the eight items on President Trump’s “ended eight wars” list:
- A diplomatic dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia that was never a war
- Some sort of mystery situation between Serbia and Kosovo that also wasn’t a war under Trump
- The war in the eastern DRC that has never actually ended despite a US-brokered peace agreement
- The 12-day war between Israel and Iran last year, though Israel proceeded to join the US in going to war with Iran this year
- The war between Israel and Hamas, though Israel has continued to conduct near-daily attacks in Gaza despite a US-brokered ceasefire
- An India-Pakistan ceasefire Pakistan vocally credits Trump for but India claims Trump had nothing to do with
- The Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement and Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire in which all parties say Trump/his team was indeed a significant factor
Polumbo: You have dozens of accusations against Donald Trump. One of them was litigated. You have a court finding against him. How can one be disqualifying but not both?
Jennings: The president would say there isn't serious corroboration.
Tanden: There's a judgment by a jury, a federal jury
Jennings: Yeah. And the person who accused him couldn't even remember when it happened.
Phillip: At the same time, Trump identified the person who accused him as his ex-wife.
