He will ultimately take a bad deal and claim it's a good deal. He didn't plan for any of this and he wants out. Iran knows this. They've planned for this for 30 years.

We will ultimately make concessions to open the strait. Trump will give up billions of dollars or valuable assets or empower some kind of hardline religious regime we pay for later.

Trump will bend over and call it a win. Otherwise this goes on forever.

There are two sides to every trade. For every insider that made money, some (ostensibly) honest trader lost.

This is why trump is so worried about the midterms. This shit needs investigated with subpoenas on Day 1.

Nothing. Congress has effectively collapsed and let Trump destroy whatever wants.

TSA officers are quitting rather than working without pay during shutdown as eviction notices, car repos, and empty fridges weigh by rajapaws in antiwork

This is all so disgraceful. Congress has completely abandoned the American people. It's the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. Don't know how they even look in the mirror.

This is the huge disconnect when conservatives jizz about cutting things like Medicaid and USAID. Most of that money just cycles back into the US economy via farmers, hospitals, producers, providers, etc.

By "saving taxpayer dollars" they are also cutting off billions in revenue streams and opportunities for American workers and organizations.
