@JonahDispatch How is there not a Singing in the Rain gif here yet?

The biggest problem with Trump is this rare combination of extreme narcissism and below-average stupidity.

To justify his mistakes, he now claims that Iran has a permanent chokehold on the world economy - that without him, “the strait would never open and the world would sink into a worldwide depression.”

In his own words, he is elevating Iran to a superpower, simply to explain away his mistakes.

This comes at a time when the Iranian economy was already teetering on the verge of collapse before the war, and the blockade on Iran was working while CENTCOM was doing a great job degrading their ability to control the strait.

In effect, while believing he is saving the elections, he is turning himself into a lame duck before even completing two years in office - signaling to the entire world that the U.S. Navy’s 250-year tradition of maintaining freedom of navigation is ending. Iran, and later other countries, could challenge U.S. power whenever there is a weak or tired president.

The change in talking points is astonishing. A few weeks ago it was that it doesn’t matter if the SoH opens and we have all the leverage.

Now Trump basically admits Tehran blackmailed him into giving everything they wanted because they controlled the strait. Which btw incentivizes them to keep increasing their demands using same leverage.

In the same press conference, Trump defended not having any enforcement mechanism in the deal and even allowing the leading sponsor of terror continue their ballistics missile program. Not to mention giving them full sanctions relief with little in return.

The Obama deal at least requires specific nuclear commitments for the financial relief. Trump didn’t even get that.

Trump spent months telling Americans that we won and now Iran will give up everything. Then he signed a deal where they gave up nothing substantively and says he didn’t have a choice.

Why did he set the expectations to be that they would give up their nuclear program, end terror funding, end ballistic missile program?

A lot of people defended the admin’s strategy for months only to have him throw the entire enterprise under the bus.

And btw Tehran is already violating the agreement today in attacking ships but it doesn’t matter because apparently they can do whatever they want because all that natters is keeping the strait open at any cost. Many of us gave the admin a lot of leeway because they deserved credit for making the call. But there is no spinning this when he’s openly saying it.

"The United States is conducting an operation to eliminate the threat of Iran’s short-range ballistic missiles"

"...the purpose of this is to destroy that missile capability."

"our mission and our focus is the destruction of their ballistic missile capabilities"

"the objective of this mission is the destruction of their ballistic missile capabilities"

"I’m telling you what the objectives of this operation are.  The objectives of this operation are to destroy their ballistic missile capability and make sure they can’t rebuild it, and make sure that they can’t hide behind that to have a nuclear program.  That’s the objective of the mission."
-- Marco Rubio, 3/2/26

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

This is the VP, a few days ago, arguing that all the talk about the deal was IRGC propaganda. Now, what he called IRGC propaganda the other day, actually is the deal as unveiled by the White House.

@JonahDispatch Callie would love a boop as long as she can see it coming from the right side.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@charlieo_conn That was a darn quick whistle...

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@redsteeze It is the most dangerous lead in hockey™️, after all.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@JonahDispatch Omg is it happening?

@bendreyfuss @madlaw1071 Yellow mustard has an important place in the mustard lineup. And that place is the chili dog.

@FlyersNation They drive me nuts every year but it was fun being in the playoffs again. There are pieces and dare I have hope we have a goalie we can rely on for a while?

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@charlieo_conn Welp. It was fun while it lasted.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@B_Sommermann Also, seems like the kind of thing the tv reporter between the benches might want to mention, but nah. That's too much like good reporting.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@B_Sommermann Well now I'm going to laugh even harder at him getting run down behind the net.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

Welp.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@PodStreetHoags ☹️

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@charlieo_conn I'll complain about both, but the difference is definitely the pp. We suck at it and no one can seem to make it better.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

I did not turn on this game to watch the refs. For either side. Too closely called both ways.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@charlieo_conn Historically bad.

[Bunny Watson @BunnyWatsonLib]

@PodStreetHoags Make it stop. For the love of God
