    This contradictory claim comes right after “informal advisor” Jared Kushner told Fox News yesterday the U.S. and Iran continue to talk. He said Trump was waiting to “make the right deal when the right deal is ready, but we are having very positive and active conversations” with Iran.

    But also, who the fuck is “we”!? Did I miss him being senate-confirmed? No…? Then he’s not a member of the government, has no security clearance, and can either say what he wants as a private citizen, or STFU. Don’t pretend you’re compelled to keep details (that you’re not supposed to be privy to) secret. I know we’re all overwhelmed and exhausted by it, but the chaos and corruption in this administration is ridiculous…

    I do, actually: they aren’t. Trump might make a tweet at some point, but he is not capable of negotiating, therefore he currently is not.

    It’s really bad when even one of the supposed parties to the talks is unaware of them. To be a microphone in the towel rack trump has been ranting at, convicted it’s stonewalling him on the negotiations.

    Hmm, I don’t “know”, but I’m very confident there are no good faith negotiations happening. Trump is openly content with driving up prices for Americans.

    The president looks like he’s about to suck a big cock in that picture. Lol.

      Stop it homophobia and/or misogyny and/or sexshaming. There’s nothing wrong or funny about sucking big cocks.

        Please reserve you misplaced outrage for instances when someone has actually done the thing that you’re all worked up about.

    The problem is there’s nobody in Iran in control of the country to enforce any agreement.

      Sitting here in Canada, watching Trump randomly threaten tariffs every other day whenever it strikes his fancy to demand some new concession from us despite decades of free trade agreements and frameworks in place to supposedly prevent this, thinking this isn’t actually an Iran problem.

      Surely you mean “the problem is there’s nobody in the US in control of the country to enforce any agreement.”

        No, we have a barely functioning centralized government structure. Iran does not because Israel and US killed them all. Nobody can speak for the whole country and control the IRGC.
