Does the deal hold until next week? No. There is no deal. Vance said it will take months to work everything out, it took the Obama admin years to do it. You don't end the war in a week. To top it off, he's already back to threatening them! Not even half a week after saying they have a deal, and he's already saying stuff like "if they don't behave I'll drop bombs on their heads." It's the same rhetoric that made them reject early negotiations and they would get tired of again but I am absolutely sure that Trump is going to call in additional strikes on them.

If you have a look at a video of drumps as he's watching/sleeping at the ufc. There's a great lol moment when the wind picks up & his toupee is in lift off mode. Revealing the bald spot

The Strait of Hormuz will never be free to transit again. Iran cites "service fees". Like there's a difference? Why are we suddenly believing Trump?

We are no longer at war with Eurasia. We're now at war with East Asia. We've always been at war with East Asia.

This birthday/deal has been fixed in my mind because flights from Kazakhstan/Central Asia through Qatar have not been happening since the start of the war, but Qatar airlines repeatedly told us that on the 16th of June everything would open up. It feels like an odd coincidence.

Cr*ppy Trumpmas, War's not over. Only Trump would turn the 250th anniversary of the country he was elected to lead into his own personal birthday party. At least he didn't add a teenage beauty pageant as an event.

Thank you all for your firehose of reality. Sucks to be us! Worst timeline ever (not your fault). And, yeah, Bill Maher ain't funny whatsoever. Except when you laugh at "him".

It’s $19.00 rounded up is the cheapest plan HBO Max, which is Paramount owned. I watched Josh Johnson’s Symphony show, should have been free on YouTube if you asked me, a month.
I think Prime video is the best deal and comes with Amazon prime membership, they want $9.00 rounded up a month on top of $14.00 a month for the Amazon prime membership. At least you’re getting the shipping value, 2 days shipping yada, yada, with a streaming service for the same money the others charge without it. Don’t love the Bezos support part of it, my wallet rules in my household.

There was footage of a band playing somewhere close by and a performer had a gigantic gun he was shooting on stage. It looked like he was trying to hit the jumping motorcycles! 🏍 🔫

Let's be clear people: this is a magnificent concept of a plan for peace with Iran. Nothing is finalized forthwith.

Who really cares what they call it? They call the Dept of Defense the Dept of War, in total antipathy of what a democratic nation's army is supposed to be for. We need to call things what they are, not what the propaganda labels it

I miss funny Bill Maher. He used to be willing to take chances and do silly things. Now he seems to be only angry or condescending and/or mean when I see a bit from his show. He sounds as if he's completely Fed Up with everything, which, okay, valid choice, but I wish he would find his way back a little. Maybe one day.
