I guess I’m in the minority for focusing on how Trump’s oil deal helps Putin while most are focused on how little it helps US oil/diesel prices.

This is happening every day --- he doesn't know what's going on because he's obsessed with legacy and vengeance and the rest is just an afterthought. Even Iran. I don't know if he's telling them not to bother him or if they've just decided not to do it. Natalie's just spoonfeeding him good news.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened.

Do Trump aides take three days to debate whether he means to destroy blue cities or prevent Iran from doing so, too? I mean, he literally did set out to destroy Los Angeles. He used paramilitaries, not nukes. But he did set out to destroy it.
