My money was on another TACO. Instead we have a TRUMP BIRTHDAY SURRENDER.

[ret5hd]

1. we will see what bibi has to say about this.

[SamuelAdams]

2. Why doesn't the statement mention Israel?

[Attilatheblond]

3. Because Trump called Pakistan and told them what to say, but won't admit Bibi holds all the cards

and probably un-redacted copies of the files.

[MLWR]

4. June Teenth???

Are they taking bets in Las Vegas as to whether he will throw a fit about the signing on June 19th instead of his 80th birthday?

[Hugin]

5. Yeah, nah...

This is more birthday horse crap.

Tangerine Idi Amin knows his war powers are about up and is desperately trying for capitulation to end all capitulations. Taking his ball and crying “I won. I won.” All the way home.

[Gary 50]

6. Great news! The stock market will love it tomorrow. But....

This "agreement" is only valid if the two sides, the despicable monsters who control Iran and the lunatic in the Whitehouse, are honest and sincere. I'm having doubts.

[Bengus81]

7. Getting those pallets of cash ready for delivery Trump?

[pat_k]

8. It's an empty statement so psycho-in-chief can declare "victory" on the day...

... he drew his first accursed breath.

Sure doesn't sound "done" to me with more "meetings" to "lay the foundation for the technical talks and official signing ceremony." (That is, whatever it is doesn't even lay a foundation for technical talks.)

The only thing that would shock me is if it all doesn't fall apart this week. (Particularly as the felon is ridiculed and humiliated as leaks of the actual terms of surrender in this "deal" paint a giant L for Loser on his forehead.)

[Marcuse]

9. The second most corrupt POTUS in history says;

[pat_k]

10. May first and second place never be supplanted.

I don't think this nation could survive a more corrupt president than Trump.

But then I though that after Nixon, the ethic rules instituted in the wake of Watergate would help ensure no repeats of his level of corruption. Silly me. I did not have the imagination to foresee Congress and SCOTUS facilitating this (formerly) unthinkable level of corruption.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. You're right, Nixon was forced to resign because his own party did the right thing and turned against his law breaking

I kept thinking that would happen again with the POTUS with 34 felonies, but it looks like I was wrong.

[SunSeeker]

12. Well, as many predicted, Trump simply surrendered.

His idiotic war put the US in a much worse position than before the war, and made Iran much more powerful in the region. And 13 American soldiers were needlessly killed. Heckuva job, Donnie.
