We often compare this administration to Idiocracy To be fair,the Camacho administration was just really dumb, not malicious. In retrospect, Idiocracy was actually really kind to Americans and our values. It painted us as a bunch of dummies unaware of our violent policies and philosophies

Dark horse Republican candidate threatens California Democrats’ US House redistricting goal
Michael Stansfield never expected to be a major player in California politics when he threw his hat into a congressional race as a Republican agitating for peace in the Middle East.

It's impossible any political party can be this incompetent. California Democrats did this on purpose. We LITERALLY redistricted to dump Kevin Kiley. That was the whole point. So now we're here and need to run ONE candidate to unseat him. Thien Ho is already the (D!) incumbent.

This is conspiracy masked as incompetence. We redistricted Kevin Kiley out, then ran THREE establishment Dems (Tomlinson, Ho, Pan) against him to split the vote and create an opening for ANOTHER Republican. #Democrats continue to deserve losing every election and we continue to be the suckers

#JstreetPAC is the new #AIPAC. In California we have a lot of Dems running against each other with similar campaigns, checking who JStreet endorsed was the easiest way to weed out candidates

This is absolutely fascinating, Trump administration is basically telling Arabs if they can't get Iran to capitulate, then THEY have to capitulate because this war can't end without Israeli victory. #abrahamaccords
Trump shifting focus to Abraham Accords amid stalled negotiations with Iran Trump's insistence on the “immediate signing" of the Abraham Accords to normalise ties with Israel is an attempt to add a new dimension to the negotiations with Iran, said Zeidon Alkinani, a Middle East political analyst and Founding Director of the Arab Perspectives Institute.

Similarly to how the Strait of Hormuz focused attention away from regime change in Iran and conversations around its nuclear programme, the Trump administration is now “adding another layer" that it can sell to the American public as a symbolic achievement, Alkinani told Al Jazeera.

"[It is also] adding another convincing point for the Israelis, who seem to be against [a deal]," the analyst added. “We are aware that the Trump administration isn't only negotiating with the Iranians, it's also negotiating simultaneouslys with the Israelis and trying to balance between the two."

I'm sure I'm jynxing it, but games like this are hard for even the #knicks to choke bc, even with 15 point quarters, you're still getting to 100 so the other team needs 25 point quarters just to catch up. Meaning the 6ers have to rain buckets and Knicks go ice cold. 74 is just a lot. #nbasky

In 2009 I was a pissant at a non-profit Another Choice, Another Chance. Our boss had bought everyone tickets to a "leadership conference" held in an arena where Giuliani was a featured speaker. I wrote a letter to my supervisor objecting to the invite and asked that I either be disinvited

This is what I've been trying to say. It's not a "conspiracy", it was purposeful negligence to create the environment for something to happen. The administration knew they would be safe and are happy to roll the dice with everyone else's lives to create a narrative they can capitalize on.

Looks like the "upcoming negotiations" are just to pump the market and buy time to get US military assets in place. Even more unfortunate, this administration is so bad at war there's no telling what horribly risky thing they'll do for literally nothing. It's going to be a long painful summer.

Looks like the skeptics will be proven right and the "negotiations" were just theater to recalibrate forces. The notion of a "sneak attack" is hilarious given they are actively engaged in a war and any missile from Iran takes several minutes to arrive in Israel.
