Reminder: Trump was president during the election he says was rigged, and when Dems were in charge he won — which means either they really suck at rigging elections or he is full of shit. (Hint: it’s the latter)

"One thing is clear; Bondi’s failures were failures that Trump demanded. If a minimally principled AG is appointed during his term, it will be despite his furious efforts. That’s because one of the absolute core goals of his presidency is the perversion of justice and destruction of the rule of law"

Pam Bondi was the worst AG in history. Until now.

This is why the war in Iran was always a fool’s errand. Trump was never going to commit the necessary resources to actually win it. Now, we’re apparently getting ready to leave with an emboldened Iran and a Middle East that’s in a worse position than when we started.

David Shuster: According to  Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.
