HEGSETH: We have controlled the straits this entire time
BRENNAN: You're negotiating with them to reopen it
Controlling something means you don't have to negotiate for access to it. That's literally the definition
Confirmed reports that Donald Trump had a psychiatric meltdown in the White House this morning after he realized his imaginary Peace Deal wasn’t going to be signed for his birthday.
Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US.
Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now.
Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.
Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.
The predicament Trump is in, and has been since he started the Iran War with Netanyahu, illustrates why it was so stupid and destructive to start this war in the first place. From the start, there were only two real options:
1) Take seriously all the stated war aims and try to fulfill them, which would require a protracted, self-destructive, devastating, years-long war of the kind Trump spent a decade vowing to avoid, or,
2) End the war quickly and prematurely, and then have to scurry around to find some way to claim that the US "won", which would -- at a minimum -- force Trump to credibly claim he got more than Obama's JCPOA gave, thus justifying all the massive bloodshed, instability and cost from the war.
If reports are correct (and it's a big "if"), Trump is choosing option (2). But his case that he actually won anything consequential beyond what the Obama Deal provided is close to laughable, while the losses to the US (and wins for Iran) are self-evident.
There are REPORTS of dead bodies located in or near Epstein's former properties.
But the Trump administration is BLOCKING efforts to investigate.
Why are people not demanding more from their leaders?
Hegseth: President Trump has made us energy independent at home. We are a net exporter.
Brennan: Yeah. Energy prices are pretty high right now so I don't know that the independence is helping at the pump.
Don Lemon: “Bud Light is plastered all over that octagon on the White House lawn celebrating the birthday of a man liable for essentially raping a woman. Organized by a man who was caught on camera hitting his wife. Featuring pardoned January 6th insurrectionists in the crowd”
