I appreciate how people are conducting themselves here
It’s not just vulgarity, it’s progressive dementia. Loss of inhibitions is a symptom.
Considering the increasing scrutiny of this thing, the rising volume of criticism and opposition, and That Man's track record (not to mention his vehement denial that key parts of it even exist notwithstanding the record), what are the odds this soi-disant MOU actually gets signed on Friday?
I was certain he'd try to shift the blame onto someone else, but I didn't expect him to be quite this forthright in saying he'd pin it on Vance. He really doesn't have any filter left.
Four months ago we anticipated that Russia would be able to make scads of money from the Iran war as other countries cast about for new sources of petroleum products...but fortunately (not for Russia, though), Ukraine had other plans.
It seems like another century now that Muslim Americans were a sought-after category of voters for the Republican Party with several prominent Arab-American (mostly Christian) Republican officeholders...oh wait, it WAS another century, the previous one.
Plenty of links, headlines, and more‼️

We played Stephen Rangazas & @joedewhurst.bsky.social’s the Guerrilla Generation: Uruguay by @gmtgames.bsky.social last night. I played the state power this time. The Tupamaro cells were tough as hell to keep up with … until the Military stepped in and wiped them off the map.

I get the impulse to "Leopards, faces, etc" these stories. But doing so misses a much bigger and more important point: The nation's largest, most powerful GOP state organization has gone all-in on unfiltered hatred - to the point that it stunned those who've spent their life confronting such hate.

NEW: I spent last week with Muslim Republicans - including the founder of CAIR Texas - as they tried to confront hate at the Texas GOP convention. It was a constant stream of anti-Muslim bigotry, a preview of what America will look like should Christian nationalists get their way.
Trump: This is a memorandum of understanding. It's very important, but it might not be the kind of a document that I should be signing. If it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD
US official says parties can still walk away from Iran deal, sequencing will be key reut.rs/3SNNiIA
Just a few quotes from the Texas GOP convention:
-“Islam is a disease that spreads by immigration."
-“True Christians and Americans will hold nothing but contempt and disdain for the toxic ideology of Islam.”
-"We don't need them in any level of government."

Muslim delegates at the party’s convention faced multiple attempts to eject them from the premises—at one point, they were told to leave the country.
❗️Reuters: Russia is planning to import gasoline by sea this month for the first time in years due to a growing fuel shortage.
The shortage is linked to Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries and fuel infrastructure, which have disrupted production.

Muslim delegates at the party’s convention faced multiple attempts to eject them from the premises—at one point, they were told to leave the country.
Both Iran and the U.S. can walk away from the memorandum of understanding they are set to sign on Friday, and upcoming talks are likely to focus on the precise sequencing of the steps previewed in the preliminary accord, a senior U.S. official told reporters on Wednesday.
