@VictorJoeBoggs@JoJoFromJerz He did break several laws, not to mention the fact that he rug pulled his investors and accepted money through his crypto to hand out pardons. Not sure if that one is against the law anymore since the SC said he can’t be questioned for it.
@rottenbanana101 I wish… sadly a lot of people don’t know that you can read about exactly what actions Trump has taken, what oil companies have done in response and then look at where supply is coming from. Some people just think they can read a tweet and assume Trump must be the cause.
@rottenbanana101 So Trump has deregulated and encouraged drilling in national parks. While leases have gone up, not much additional drilling has started because Trump does not understand incentives. He wants headlines, the oil companies want money. Most of the supply growth is outside the US.
@its_The_Dr The reflecting pool volume is something like 7,000,000 gallons. So in your view, Security missed several dump trucks full of fertilizer being dumped into the reflecting pool?
@rottenbanana101 2/2 what I have been saying for months. The US has not been as effective as they hoped in this war. Iran still maintains significant leverage and the US wants out. This MOU is significant in US history in that it requires little from Iran in order to benefit a lot.
@rottenbanana101 1/2You are so broken man. You think that President Trump just suddenly decided to abandon his stated goals for the purpose of winning the midterms? Just now he realized it was in play? When the US is running low on gas? The reality is he realized…
@rottenbanana101 What are we lacking currently that requires that we double the military budget? I don’t think Trump even knows, he just likes the headline that he is increasing military spending.
@JackPosobiec “It’s not fair that people keep doing to me what I have been doing to everyone else for the last two decades. Why can’t we suspend the first amendment when I want to!” - the guy who can make a deal to save his administration
@BrilynHollyhand The saddest part of this is that someone heard him say that and thought it was true. “Trillions of dollars…” but they can’t point to any policy that. What a bunch of clowns.
@rottenbanana101@FDD@rich_goldberg@mdubowitz I will take a look at this but by what I know about the deal, Iran offered something similar weeks ago and POTUS turned it down. It doesn’t look like a victory to me, it looks like a compromise to end this thing. That means that Iran still has leverage.
@rottenbanana101@ianbremmer@CENTCOM Why are you limiting the stated objectives to Centcom? They take orders from POTUS. What would be the ultimate objective of degrading their defenses?
@rottenbanana101@ianbremmer@CENTCOM Here is Trump saying that we would start bombing if they don’t make a deal on Nuclear and that he wanted regime change in February.

@rottenbanana101@ianbremmer@CENTCOM I have a lot of respect for you but I can’t understand why you are narrowing the objective to the point of irrelevance.Saying that the military degrading their defenses was the objective ignores what the entire point of the operation was.Trump said various things at various times
@EricLDaugh You all love to declare victory before anything even happens. This for instance is barely a tweet; however you are all declaring it absolutely brilliant. When this doesn't happen - and it won't - will you all admit that maybe the words were not enough?
@rottenbanana101@ianbremmer@CENTCOM It would depend on the point of the bombing. No one says we won in Vietnam even though we blew up lots of stuff. The point was not to demonstrate our ability to drop bombs, the point was to defeat Iran; which we have not done despite our remarkable ability to blow stuff up.
@rottenbanana101@ianbremmer@CENTCOM Silly me, I thought the objective was to degrade Iran to the point that they would want to settle by giving up their nuclear ambitions.Or maybe getting the IRGC to give up power. If I would have known that the whole point was to blow up their 1960's jets and fishing boats then...
@JesseBWatters I bet they are not so much stunned as amused. How many times has Trump declared an end to the war? How many times has he said they were close to a deal? Its like you all read the same headline every week and think, "he wouldn't lie again..."
