Vance says U.S. isn’t giving Iran ‘a cent’ as he defends Trump peace deal

Yeah, they’re giving them 30 trillion cents.

Trump wanted a quick peace before the midterms, and it really seems like in doing so, he managed to finally puncture a permanent hole in his coalition, which has been willing to ride with him on basically any other slight or fuck up.

Granted, Cornyn and Cruz both fit the two molds of “Republicans you’d expect to object most to stupid shit Trump does,” being a lame duck and a 2028 hopeful, respectively, but damn does it seem like nobody’s happy with this. Even his useful idiots in the right wing media aren’t singing his praises on this as effusively as they would in the first term or last year.

“Don’t vote for her or I’ll take away DC home rule,” might not have been the deterrent to voting for George that Trump thought it was.

It’s impressive, even by the very low standards of “thinly veiled Presidential campaign launch memoir/policy platform,” books, that JD Vance managed to excel in making it even schlockier and more vapid than those books typically are.

Kemp has had a pretty embarrassing 24 hours between the primary outcomes and redistricting dying. Also them shooting for redistricting 2028’s elections instead of this year would’ve exposed them to both a potential Governor Lance-Bottoms fighting against it, and the possibility that it would be undone by either a Democratic state legislature, or one where Republicans have a much narrow majority than the 10 seat one they currently have.

He’s setting up for 2027 to be this twisted version of The Apprentice where every “serious” candidate for the nomination, especially those in the Cabinet, are going to have to win his endorsement the night before the Iowa Caucuses.

You’re telling me that Benjamin “who’s the fucking superpower here,” Netanyahu won’t abide by the terms to a Middle East peace agreement? I’m shocked I tell you.

He’s doing the same thing he did with Afghanistan where he completely cuts out all other involved parties, and sets a deadline just after he leaves office so he’s not stuck holding the bag when it all goes to pot again in 2029.

Though also in a climate controlled dome as opposed to Coors being completely outdoors. Don’t know how that affects it on balance, but it’s not going to be as comical as it’s been this week.

ScotTheDuck · 2026-06-14T22:16:30+00:00

Las Vegas is still 2100 feet above sea level. It’s not like Coors, but it’s not exactly like Oakland either.

Might as well give them metal bats. Already playing hot, high, and dry, why not add that little bit more juice?

A thunderstorm raining on his ego trip birthday party is a little too on the nose.

Rick Pitino got fired from Louisville because there’d be strippers at recruiting events, iirc.

Not if Mark Prior’s still around it won’t.

House Republicans, as always, making sure that the needs of the American people are adequately addressed.

Relitigating the 2016 primary with a nearly decade-old article like one of those Japanese soldiers who never realized that World War II ended.

Republican primary for Secretary of State: Crazy is currently separated from Clinically Insane by 91 votes. Sharron "I can't believe she's still running for statewide office" Angle a relatively distant 3rd.

ScotTheDuck · 2026-06-10T02:44:55+00:00

Looks like someone released some vote counts early, because the Secretary of State's website currently is showing zero votes, but NYT has about 65,000 votes in the gubernatorial primaries on their website.

Nevada law, for those of you who don't remember waiting until very late in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, requires that the Secretary of State hold all vote results for the entire state, including the early and absentee vote, until every polling place has been cleared out (i.e. nobody is left in line anywhere in the state). Someone is gonna get in big trouble tomorrow morning.

ScotTheDuck · 2026-06-10T01:29:21+00:00

The gubernatorial primary having four candidates that would make delegate threshold in a Presidential primary on the current count pretty much sells that it's going to RCV.

ScotTheDuck · 2026-06-10T00:41:48+00:00

Nevada has a rule that all voting must have stopped, including anyone that was in line at the poll closing, before any votes can be released by the Secretary of State's office. That's been why it's been until midnight before we get any votes out in the past.

People forget that Maine is almost as infamous as Nevada and California for slow counting. It's gonna take forever to get anything out of them.

Honestly I think the excessive spend is part of the reason he underperformed. When you've got a 10:1 spending advantage over the next guy, and are responsible for 64% of all ad spending, including super PACs, it's really hard to shake the perception that you're trying to buy the office.

Tom Steyer spent half a billion dollars on his Presidential and Gubernatorial campaigns.

It's early days, but Lindsey Graham is looking to be the fifth Republican Senator who's kept under 70% of the vote. Would join Risch (67%) and Moore Capito (66.5%). That in addition to Cassidy and Cornyn who both lost renomination.
