This was humiliation. No one in modern history has made America wait and beg for negotiations. This was the moment JD Vance should have returned to Washington. The Islamic regime did this on purpose. Trump, if you don't understand politics, you should at least understand protocol.
The visuals from Switzerland:
• The U.S. delegation entered well before the Iranians. In diplomacy, the side with leverage doesn't wait in the room. You claim to be leading and winning, yet you arrived first. First mistake.
• Ghalibaf did not enter while the press was inside. JD Vance did. Another mistake. It looked as though you didn't just abandon allies, including Israel, you also diminished America's image by ignoring basic diplomatic protocol.
• The Iranian foreign minister entered last and refused to shake hands. We didn't need photographs to tell us who looked confident and who looked desperate, but these images made it easy for the world to draw its own conclusions.

"men should be allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to prevent women from using birth control"--seriously? Republicans in North Carolina are this bloodthirsty as well as ignorant?
hoping that this information is exaggerated but fearing that, in MAGA territory, it is not.
The price of gas is still sky high. Millions have lost their health care. Inflation is rising.
