Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The Iranian negotiator:
He's still lying.
What a fucking goddamned idiot Trump is.
Who is left that thinks this demented dipshit is anything but an old fucking lost man who has never lived a single day of his life without privilege and sychophantic ball filandering?
His whole life. He's never struggled. He's never even tried, I bet. He's just a piece of shit that convinced countless other pieces of shit to give up all their morals for him.
We will forget Trump... But we won't forget his supporters. Not ever.
We. Will. Know. Never. Forget.
Iran has (once again) said they don't know who the fuck trump is talking to, but it's not anyone running Iran...
I really think the people around him are gaslighting him at this point:
Wow, you're so tough! I talked to _____ and they're totally scared and willing to do anything you say tomorrow!
Look at the people around him, no one is running complex grifts. They're just absuing a geriatric asshole and grifting them out of our money.
It's why trump can't be the only one held accountable.
Everyone that did this shit over the last three presidential administrations needs prosecuted. It's the only way to stop it from happening
Well there are also more drastic measures you can see in history that create strong incentives for people not to behave like lunatics and shit on everyone...
I’m just gonna keep saying this is market manipulation every time he says something like this and the news gets posted. This is market manipulation and nothing more.
I like tacos.
Taco Tuesday, taco Thursday, taco everyday!
Riiiiiiiiight. Just like the last 29 times.
We sat on that beach (your old man and me).
Chicken head with duck feet, and an orange face too!
Didn't we just bomb one of their big water supplies?
We bombed a civilian water supply (pretty sure that's a war crime, not that they'll care), they've completely shut the Strait, Trump threatened a massive strike threatening to seize some oil/infrastructure - best guess was Kharg Island. Now that's off, again - at least not until he gets his late night drug fix and riled up by Fox.
Hunh. You know how he keeps flip-flopping on what he's planning to do? I wonder if that's because there are different news/opinion hosts on the weekends.
Probably unrelated to the 2+% drop in stock markets when he hypes up an armageddon, or the 2+% rise when he calls it off.
He's keeping the market pumping for the SpaceX IPO. He's go back to threatening them in after hours after the IPO...once his family and friends have cashed out.
I think it's related to trumps threat to seize Kharg Island and other Iran oil infrastructure. And on his TS post said "The U.S. military will attack Iran “VERY HARD” Thursday night", this was after completing a round of airstrikes on Wednesday, including the water supplies.
The ol "2 week' cock-tease
I’ve heard this one before
Odds of actual invasion go up with this announcement
Right, they'll never see his 4D checker move. Genius!
