Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators.
No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich.
What a distaster.
5D ♟️ Chess:

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
@BernieSanders You know how we made America great in the 20th century?
1. We broke up monopolies.
2. We taxed the rich.
3. We strengthened unions and worker rights.
4. We protected civil rights and voting rights.
We learned this lesson from the 19th century but forgot it again in the 21st.
Putin is our enemy. He's helping Iranian soldiers target American soldiers and assets.
Zelenskyy is our friend. He's helping American soldiers shoot down Iranian drones.
Most Americans understand these basic facts.
Trump, for whatever reason, does not.
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
You say that Donald Trump “loves our troops.”
So, once again, I want to know why that is.
Is it because he received 5 deferments (for a fake medical condition) from the draft during the Vietnam War?
Or is it the time he bragged that “avoiding STDs” was his personal equivalent of military combat?
Is it because he demeaned a POW, attacked a Gold Star family and told a military widow that her deceased husband “knew what he had signed up for.”
Was it the time he downplayed the traumatic head injuries suffered by our troops after a missile attack as “not real” because they weren’t “missing hands and limbs.”
Is it the time he said he didn’t want to be seen with war-wounded amputees and to keep them forever out of his sight, or the time he called our fallen heroes of war “suckers” and “losers”?
Was it the time he skipped an event in France honoring our Marines because it was raining?
Is it all the times he called our military leaders “dumb” and “overrated” while calling terrorists like the Taliban & Hezbollah “very smart”?
Was it the time he demanded the flags after McCain’s death be returned to full mast, or the time he demanded that a ship bearing his name be blocked from view?
Was it when he suggested that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff deserved to be executed?
Maybe it was when he asked Gen. John Kelly (who lost his son in combat) why anyone would sign up for service because as far as he saw it, there was “nothing in it for them.”
Perhaps it was hearing him say that as President he would allow our adversary to attack the same allies this country’s Greatest Generation fought beside and died defending?
Or was it when he insulted Nikki Haley’s husband for currently serving our country overseas?
Was it when he said the Medal of Freedom he gave to his rich donors was “much better” than the Medal of Honor because the recipients of that honor are “in bad shape or dead.”
Was it when he insisted on using the sacred shrine that is Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 400,000 veterans and their families, as a photo op for his campaign despite the fact that he wasn’t allowed to do so and officials there were attacked by his staff for trying to stop him?
Was it when he decimated the VA and gutted a suicide prevention hotline meant to help our veterans in their darkest hour?
Is it the fact that he’s fired more of our veterans than any other president in our history?
Or was it when he skipped the dignified transfer of the four soldiers who died in Lithuania so he could host a glittery gala at his gilded golf motel for the folks who funded 9/11?
Was it the time he droned on about “trophy wives” while wearing a MAGA hat to the West Point graduation? Or the time he talked about the “Olympics” and the “World Cup” on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery?
Or was it when he called for the execution of several Democratic lawmakers because they made a video reminding service members to refuse unlawful orders?
Which of those things makes you believe he loves our troops?
Which one?
Because he just sent three of our service members to their deaths for an illegal war he never justified, never explained, didn’t seek Congressional approval for, and has no plan to extract us from.
The guy who PROMISED you he was the one to end ALL FOREIGN WARS is using OUR troops as props in a deadly game that is undoubtedly lining HIS pockets while making all of us far less safe at the same damn time.
And I just don’t understand how you don’t see that.
So what is it? Because for the life of me, I can’t figure it out, and I’d really, really love to know.
