What happened here is simple. You lost a war you should have never started and surrendered on Iran's terms.
War opponents can be glad the war is over and also point out that this insane deal is a final proof point that the whole war - that you cheerled - was a total calamity.
The just continue to lie about this. Iran sent The U.S. money for weapons. Iran had a revolution. We kept the money and refused to sell them weapons. The money was put in an interest bearing account. They sued to get it back. Obama gave it back to them in Euros.
The BOP wants you to believe there is no other prison in the United States that Ghislaine Maxwell would be safe in than this one, which has no other child sex predators and also happens to be located near her sister.
None of this makes any sense, except as desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat. The president of the United States seems to be losing his grip on reality itself.

Buried in the BBC writeup of the Russian-sponsored arson attack on Keir Starmer's home is the following nugget. The attackers' handler, Evgeny Lyukshin, the son of a Russian diplomat, studied at Moscow State University's diplomatic academy, which has a Rybar-run media school. Ryber is a sanctioned organization which seeks "to sow discord, promote social division, stoke partisan and racial discord, and encourage hate and violence," according to the U.S. government.
Tutors at the media school's program on "information warfare" include SVR illegal Colonel Andrey Berzukov, or "Donald Heathfield," as he was known in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before the FBI arrested him as part of Operation Ghost Stories.
Another tutor is Sergey Nalobin, formerly the first secretary in the political section of the Russian Embassy in the UK, but so much more than that, too. Nalobin's father's was a general in the KGB who then went on to serve as Alexander Litvinenko's boss in the economic crimes division of the FSB. Nalobin's brother was also FSB. So, well... yeah.
When he was stationed in London, Nalobin (seen at right with Boris Johnson) helped found a pro-Russian front group called Conservative Friends of Russia, to which @lukeharding1968 and I devoted some attention fifteen years ago. Sir Malcolm Rifkind was the honorary president at one point before he cottoned onto what he'd signed up for and quit.
Nalobin's diplomatic credentials expired and he was subsequently posted to Tallinn. (My informed guess is the Estonians let him in to keep an eye on him.)
Looks like Sergey's time in the West wasn't wasted, however.
He's now helping to instruct a bright young generation of Russian operatives how to foment race war and remotely recruit gig saboteurs from an elite institution of higher learning in Moscow. A whole gaggle of Tories can say they knew him when...

They're "ignoring what's actually in the deal" because the administration hasn't released the deal. Show us the deal, and people won't ignore it. The problem is there's no reason to take the administration's word for what's in the deal at face value.
This is her pattern. Release documents, make claims about what they say that even a cursory read will disprove, knowing that the audience won't bother. If you believe this, the joke's on you.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
@SapientHetero@NewsHour Prior to 2 decades ago, how many decades had gone by where men were preferred over women for hiring and promotion? Here's a hint: all of them. Go cry a river
@bluestein Burt Jones is as slimy as a politician can get. Everyone who's worked around/with/for him, knows this and knows that letting him in the governors office would be a disaster our state wouldn't rise from for decades.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
