The New Jersey Democrat laid out how the U.S. had allowed Iran to sell an estimated $10 billion worth of sanctioned oil to China and then promised to further alleviate sanctions in return for releasing highly enriched uranium and committing to limiting its enrichment capacity.
“And that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, that the president and you vilified President Obama for having,” Booker said. Of course, Donald Trump’s deal is even worse than Booker says, as it reportedly includes a $300 billion investment fund for Tehran, in the event that a deal is reached.
$10 Billion to $300 billion. ART OF THE DEAL!
I’ve said it before but that’s what Trump always does. He fucks up an existing situation (which may not be ideal in most cases, but then few things are), and after making everything worse for everyone, arrives at a so called deal that isn’t even half as good as the original one was.
And then there’s much rejoicing about how great he is.
Fucking middle-man for a president.
You forget about how the whole thing either enriches himself and his cronies or benefits him cough Operation Epstein Distraction cough in some other way.
Fascists don’t like facts.
Somehow Marco Rubio is the smartest crayon in the box in the admin?!?!. The bar is low, so so so so incredibly low. It’s subterranean.
Marco Rubio has a contemptible level of cowardice.
This is a non sequitur/ad hominem, but here is the debate where Chris Christie, a fellow cunt, handed Rubio his arse.

Also remember that Chris Christie prepped Trump for his own debates.
These people should absolutely be imprisoned.
Hard agree.
Like 15 years ago I had a couple of conservative morons who lived next door to me try to convince me how great Marco Rubio was and how he would be excellent as president. And I just looked at them like they were the dumbest people I’d ever met in my entire goddamn life.
So much gas-lighting going on from Trump’s Whitehouse over the Iran war its ridiculous.
If Iran is still controlling the Strait of Hormuz to the point where they can use reopening it as a negotiation tool - then with all sincerity you haven’t won shit.
Billions a week are being spent on a war that was completely unnecessary, leading to negotiations so bad they make the Obama administration look like masterminds for being half-competent at the job.
… And all this bullshit occurred just so Trump could distract from him being a paedophile - but if being treasonous cunt wasn’t enough to get him in prison, I doubt being a pedo will do much either.
But hey, at least the government is saving a few million on pennies
They saved gaza, didnt they? Nobody talking about it anymore?
Guys?

Curious what issues you had with the JCPOA
Democrats need to go for the jugular and proclaim that Trump and the GOP have LOST the war with Iran. They need to force the point that with all the military might of the USA, the GOP was so incompetent, they lost.
Idk sounds like too easy of a win, what about running an unpopular plutocrat? Maybe Pelosi?
Pelosi is too young.
/s
Nah. Dems should push the point that imperialism is doomed. That the MIC needs to be deconstructed. That serving zionism is genocidal. Etc.
But they won’t.
Because the average American still thinks half of what you just said is insane. And you could sell them if you dumbed it down, but that means not using words like zionism
You want Dems to run to the right of Trump on Iran? 'Member when they tried that with the southern border?
The American right is all about pretending they didn’t lose. Short list of examples in cronological order:
- the civil war
- the great depression.
- the JFK / Nixon POTUS election
- the vietnam war
- the Afghanistan war
- the Biden / Trump election
Of course the USA lost this thing with Iran. We didn’t even state a clear goal and STILL wound up in a state where the absolute best we could hope to describe it is as a draw.
It isn’t running to the right to describe things factually. Reality, after all, has a well known left-wing bias.
And the Dems have a sordid history of trying to outdo Reps on ‘tough’ foreign policy. The lesson from the current conflict shouldn’t be: “Reps are too incompetent to win this war”, it should be: “our entire policy towards Iran (and Israel) has been a counterproductive disaster”.
This win/lose framework seems uselessly simplistic and feeds into the bi-partisan imperialism that is the actual problem.
$300B LOSER fund. Its for reparations.
It’s gonna be fun watching these assholes trying to rebrand that via their Ministry of Truth networks - Faux, Sinclair, etc.
I’m going to have a lot of fun pointing out what it really is if it comes to that, though.
We’ll need to workshop some fun names. So far, I like:
The cut-n-run fund.
It’s “enhanced” by the Trump branding
They’re literally arguing this right now. For the Kennedy center, the judge deemed the placement of the name illegal, and it must be removed.
They argue the name cannot be removed because it will make the Kennedy center ‘financially unreliable’
Good, the whole fucken world needs to become financially unreliable right now. I am so sick of these vampires chasing the dragon when this entire fucking society thing is supposed to be about making life easier. Its driving me fucking insane.
I mean as in not human, sure. Billionaires stop being human after a certain amount of time with that kind of power
Well you also have corporations as non-human people, according to our illustrious top legal minds.
Granted, those “people” exist so that profits can be passed to the billionaires while liabilities are not
Word brother. It’s time to take a torch to the whole stupid system.
Ah the good ol “financially unreliable” GOP attack plan. As an example-- Congress made USPS “finacially unreliable” by making them fund 30 year pensions completely in advance when hiring anyone. And then appointing a massive investor in USPS’s competitors (Dejoy) to head it, followed by a fedex board member to head it (Steiner). And then when USPS workers somehow survived anyway Dejoy needlessly decomissioned a bunch of brand new automated sorting machines to make the need to hire humans to manually sort mail crazy high-- when hiring humans cost millions per person at time of hire because of the insane pension rule.
Its a good sneaky back room deal to kill just about any government organization you want. Without that the USPS was profitable even without raising rates and had extraordinarily high approval ratings. USPS had the gaul to compete with other commerical shipping companies like Fedex, UPS, and XPS logistics so it had to be murdered. Screw what the citizens need or what effects that would have on the economy. They will do the same nonsense to every branch of government, and evidently to the Kennedy center.
Good point, reminds me of the argument in my city about the busses being non-profitable. If my taxes go to a service, that service does not need to be profitable. Nobody asks how much revenue the fire department generates.
The Kennedy center seemed to be doing just fine before the orange turd stuck his name on it
Like the country. And the east wingbof the WH. And some casinos. And a university. And a family. And the air aound his orangeness.
$290B for licensing his name 10 billion to build five new hotels.
“Whoooooooos slushing my fuuuuuuundssss?”
☝️ This guy gets it!
The SHART OF THE STEAL!
Yes all correct but I still haven’t forgotten that Corey Booker tried to block cheaper pharmaceutical drug imports from Canada on some bullshit about safety, and I still hope he falls into a pit of starving giant toe biter bugs.
Last I checked Booker was also still voting as AIPAC wanted him to so his “quiet trouble” bullshit is exactly that: bullshit.
Who likes this guy? I mean really, does he have a legitimate constituency?
Sshh they might hear you and ask why you want Trump to win.
Really any pit would do. Let’s not be greedy.
Don’t be silly, Canada is essentially a third world country. Why would we want drugs from there? Prolly filled with fentanyl. /s
I think Marco used to be a bit taller when he had a bit of a spine.
Before he started glazing trump he was an empty suit who did whatever Florida’s sugar lobby wanted. He’s never had anything
I don’t recall that time
That’s why he got new shoes, to prop him up.
They both refer to Iran as an enemy, with no potential relationship beyond war or shitty deal… Yet comfortably, the US is in good relations with other Middle Eastern nations, Israel, even China.
literally went to war with Vietnam, now a supposedly communist country and best buddies but need to destroy Cuba because communist country.
Do Rubio and his cronies realise Florida is in range of Sahed drones launched from Cuba? Are they ready to see the first aerial bombing of an American city since Pearl Harbor?
They both refer to Iran as an enemy
Imperialism has unquestionable bi-partisan support.
Do not forget this is the president who got chummy with North Korea last administration. Really can’t be surprised after that.
How dare Iran control their own resources for their own people’s benefit?! 😡
If this is sarcasm, I upvote. If this is serious, I throw poopoo at you.
It’s only “worse” from the imperial perspective that it helps the oppressed more.
It’s completely normal and completely shameful that the so-called opposition uses this framing.
(Checks notes)… Corey Booker… Oh ok. Fuck that guy.
So it’s better because the deal is the same as before but we both bombed them more then paid them more money? So… they are less oppressed now after 4 months of kinetics because of a bigger payout? Is that your argument?
I hope I’m misunderstanding you.
Nothing imperial about being excited your life was completely destroyed because you got some rich man’s dirty leavings.
Good things can happen in this world!
Am even better deal since the admin says their stockpiles are destroyed they can hide however much they’d like and no one can really say anything about it much less prove it.
There is no understanding technocrit.
You literally can’t help yourself, can you?
The Dempublicans and the Republicrats…doing their mutual tango for their common overlords.
