"Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which had halted its nuclear program in its tracks.

Trump ENDED that deal in 2018. Iran then resumed enriching Uranium, and now, here we are, with another preventable war on our hands."

at some point it is going to be America getting blown the fuck out by sophisticated, multi-year intel-driven strikes, because we put the dumbest and most venal people in the world in charge of counterintelligence

Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, June 9:
"Rather than pursue more reasonable and orderly means to implement its immigration policy, the Administration's recent enforcement actions undermine public safety, harm our communities, and destabilize our economy."

What kind of potential damage could Musk do to Trump's presidency if it gets to that point in their escalating battle?

If Musk has credible inside knowledge of any of the following, it could be politically or reputationally harmful:

*Illegal activity (if any exists, and he can prove it) 1/6

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space programβ€”that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Opinion | Trump Is Immensely Vulnerable

Democrats' efforts to hold President Trump accountable have been ineffective. But drawing on lessons from abroad, what succeeds is not talk about saving democracy but rather a practical focus on Trump's economic failures, corruption and scorn for his own followers. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...

Trump was just negotiating with Saudi Arabia, the country responsible for 9/11 and dismembering a Washington Post journalist. And took a $400 million bribe from the country that finances Hamas, famous for its hostage taking. So take a seat, you crazy, white supremacist bitch.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.
