Waters is a moron

[Acyn @Acyn]

Watters: We whipped Iran. We basically did it with 12 casualties. The United States is the world's leading exporter of energy. We did it in three months. You look at that and you tell any Democrat president over the last 47 years, would you take those results? All of them would say yes.

What a deal

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.

With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.

This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 If you’re keeping track at home:

- Obama: $1.7B in unfrozen assets/cash for 98% reduction in uranium & limit enrichment to 3.7%

- Trump: $24B in unfrozen assets/cash, $300B reconstruction fund, lifted sanctions in exchange for opened Strait under Iran/Oman control

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

In every other modern democratic country, a criminal like Trump would've been removed, indicted, and imprisoned a long time ago.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.

This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.

If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

[Viral Reel Addict @ViralReelAddict]

Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.

This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.

[Ed Meek @emeek]

So once we sign the agreement we’re going to bomb them? Obama released Irans money. He did not pay them. Trump, rest assured, will pay reparations. We will see what happens with Hormuz.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump on Truth Social:

“Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.

The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands.

At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

[Ed Meek @emeek]

He must have promised to raise inflation, to start a war with Iran, to hurt farming and manufacturing, to bow to China and to steal from us and our children.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Vance on Midterms: I think we have a great chance because the president has delivered on so many of his promises.

[GBX @GBX_Press]

The immunity of billionaires and kings involved in this file is an open insult to the law. Do you still believe in the existence of so-called "international justice"?

[Ed Meek @emeek]

Trump, “I don’t care about Americans.”

[EvolvingWorld🌎 @louis_patriot]

@NRCC No polling needed. Democrats have shown they don’t are about Americans.

Republicans know what’s coming!

[Ed Meek @emeek]

Does the name Obama ring a bell?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Bessent: President Trump has done something that no other administration is able to do. We have gotten the Iranians to talk about their nuclear program and to perhaps commit to not having one—that has never happened before.

[Ed Meek @emeek]

A lesson in how to play to Trump

[Acyn @Acyn]

Hegseth: Your efforts on the reflecting pool are actually a great segue. If you look at Washington and Lincoln. These are two men that faced monumental tasks and stood up in historic fashion and delivered for the American people And when you step back and look at 47 years of what Iran waged war against us and our people—there's only one man over the course of both presidency who has stood up and said they will never get a nuclear weapon

So Vance is running against Trump

[Acyn @Acyn]

Vance: There is a simple principle I have: If you are committing fraud against the American people you ought to go to prison. If you are a public official not fighting against fraud, you ought to have your money taken away because you should not be able to steal from all of you and give it to fraudsters.

Winning? What happened to America First?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "President Xi said America is a nation in decline. And I said, 'You're right.'"

[Ed Meek @emeek]

You are in charge JD. You are responsible.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

JD Vance: "There's a lot of fraud in the federal government. It's unbelievable how much you've been fleeced by your own government."
