Anyone with this take has to be the most miserable kind of person to work with to the point that I’m 100% certain to bring an iced coffee into any interview I ever might do again just to make sure I can avoid getting stuck with them

California is driving Paramount out. Let Georgia be Hollywood of the South.

“Subject to Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz“. What indication do we have that Iran agreed to this? None. What’s more, their incentive is to keep it closed, as the economic disruption builds the longer it is shut down. Trump is 100% caving to Iran here

Trump is clearly not being literal with his statement to end a civilization, facially absurd rhetoric is a hallmark of his communication style. Still, by putting that out there, particularly in a time of war, he corrodes the moral and legal foundations of the international order.

Surprisingly, Trump has actually *increased* support for birthright citizenship. He helped polarize the pubic on an issue that was fairly evenly divided and a substantial majority now support it, at the highest rates to date no less.

Trump threatened to destroy Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz isn't opened in 48 hours. Iran's parliament speaker responded by threatening to "irreversibly destroy" energy facilities across the entire region. This is a game of chicken, BUT not a symmetric one. That matters! 1/
