Snyder: One of our national fairy tales is that [Donald Trump] is a negotiator or he has some kind of negotiating skills. He does not. He's a charismatic performer who played a negotiator on TV, but he does not have negotiating skills. He's terrible at it.

Netanyahu turned his relationship with Trump into a selling point to his voters. Now it may be his downfall. I wrote about how Trump left Bibi holding the bag on the eve of an election that he and his allies were already losing: theatlantic.com/internationa…

our president is a pitiful wreck of a man

Obama's superiority, as a president and a person, hurts Trump especially badly because he's a huge racist and Obama is black.

BREAKING: United States becomes the first country in history to pay $300 billion to a country they defeated 50 times in one war.

Iran: “Hey, we’d like to sell our oil, no sanctions, ASAP.” Trump administration: “Sure! We’re capitalists too! Anything we can do to help? Perhaps take a cut…” Iran: “Nah, we’re good.” Trump: “Hey, what’s up with the nukes?” Iran: “Workin’ on it…” wsj.com/world/middle-east/th…

At this point, Trump has been played by pretty much every country in the Middle East, from Israel and Saudi to the UAE and Qatar, and now by Iran itself. He’s like a Baby Huey in a world of grownups. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a canny master of geopolitical maneuvering.

They tried painting over the numbers but failed and made them even more prominent! Looks great next to the giant algae swamp! 🤣😂🤣😂

a cable network bleeding viewers did

we are currently being governed by the moral midgets who thought the Emancipation Proclamation, Reconstruction, Brown v Board, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were unfair to white people

Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations: I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax. While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was. You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room. And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go. So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does. The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it. Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that. Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files. Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.

Here's the point form list of key days Trump claimed the Iran war was over: • March 9, 2026: Told CBS News the war was "very complete, pretty much" after early strikes. • June 11, 2026: Stated "We ended the war with Iran today," announced a "great settlement," and canceled strikes. Iran disputes final approval. He has repeatedly said deals were close or progress made on other dates (e.g. May), but explicit "war over" claims center on these. Axios covered the back-and-forth; talks ongoing.

Here’s the point form list of key Axios reports on US-Iran deal progress from March 1 to June 12, 2026: • Apr 7: Negotiations made progress in past 24 hrs (ceasefire by deadline still long shot) • May 5: Trump suspends Hormuz op, claims progress on Iran deal • May 23: U.S., Iran close to a deal to end war • May 24: What’s inside the Iran deal Trump is close to signing • May 28: Vance says U.S. & Iran “very close” to a deal • May 28: U.S. & Iran reach deal but needs Trump’s final approval • May 29: Trump meets team to decide on Iran deal • May 31: Trump asked for several amendments to the deal • Jun 11: Trump cancels Iran strikes as mediators claim deal is close • Jun 11: Trump claims Iran deal reached; Tehran says no final decision • Jun 12: What’s in the Iran deal Trump says he’s ready to sign Iran disputed some claims. Talks ongoing.

Booing the president of our country during the national anthem is not appropriate. We should be booing him during other songs too. And like, during press conferences. And when he's sleeping on camera. Or golfing. Just like all the time, really.
