  1. Rogue cop is my bet too. Can't rule out collaborators, either.
  2. I really wish he hadn't torn up Obama's deal
  3. The consensus about the proposal's terms were along these lines: Here are more sources that put some meat on the bones https://www.axios.com/2025/06/02/iran-nuclear-deal-proposal-enrich-uranium My read on this is that the US was willing to allow Iran to have the civilian enrichment so long as other conditions were followed. That sixth meeting between Witkoff and Iran is probably where those final details would have been ironed out. But of course Israel thinks imminent peace deal is the same thing as an imminent attack, so here we are. Don't believe me? From the same article: https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-us-nuclear-talks-rome-enrichment-trump-witkoff/33422138.html
  4. My bad I should have been clearer. This wasn't about Casar at all. To my mind he's never treated any constituent class as expendable the way John Fetterman or Henry Cuellar would.
  5. A democrat who fails to protect the most marginalized constituent by treating them as expendable (trans people, climate activists) or worthy of punishment for perceived disloyalty (Latinos, Gen Z, Arabs) is a democrat who sends an uninspiring message to everyone else in their base. When a democrat does something strong, applaud them. They need all the help they can get because otherwise their political instincts and the consultants they've been following have consistently led them astray, telling them it's "the groups" who have been costing them votes.
  6. I mean, that's kind of the hilarious part. You don't have to be very smart or experienced to realize, after putting more than 10 minutes of thought into it, that Obama's nuclear deal had very favorable terms. Really, a no-brainer, even for a real estate lawyer. Restoring it had potential to deliver Trump an enormous political win by getting to slap his gaudy Trump branding on essentially the same building and as an added bonus getting to own the libs by pointing out how Biden was unable to do the same (because the "adults" Biden put in charge were massive assholes who were part of the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" lie). So in this particular case I don't believe it's out of the question at all that Witkoff would have been able to more or less rebrand the Obama deal as a Trump deal and that he was on the cusp of doing exactly that until the bombs started falling on Tehran. And I don't think Witkoff's religion necessarily makes him an Israel hawk.
  7. Fine with this, too. This is Wemby's team.
  8. Fine with that, but the pricetag needs to reflect that job description. If he wants more and his agent is trying to get him the most $$, then there was never going to be a deal that made sense for the Spurs
  9. I was seeing this from more skeptical journalists whose sources aren't only from Trumpworld.
  10. He's still very good, but he won't be as good next year and the dropoff will be pretty fast. Not worth the price of admission.
  11. He's post-prime and I don't want him taking oxygen from the young core we're building, but I'd be willing to bring him on as a vet min journeyman mentor ala Chris Paul so long as we're not giving anything up for it.
  12. "CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BAD THE WAR WOULD BE IF IT WAS KAMALA" /newsmax
  13. And 55% of Americans if not more are too dumb to understand that, and will remain too dumb even as it's happening. Foreigner wants your cookie, and all that.
