Trump has evicerated our democracy, crushed free speech, abandoned our allies, embraced our enemies, gutted social supports, erected monuments to himself, led the Jan6 insurrection, plunged us into war and and is in the Epstein files. Yet, the price of gas is the dealbreaker? Shameful and pitiful.

There are no talks. Iran will continue its ‘long game’ plan to maximize global economic pain and, will widen the conflict by activating the Houthi’s against the Saudis. Plans in place before Trump started this war. Kusnner and Whitkoff are real estate grifters, out for profit, not negotiators.
