Republicans control the house and the senate. Why blame the democrats ?
I was left leaning before Biden but the billions we sent to Ukraine made me realize the democrats are not America first ( not sure either party is ) . Also kamelas campaign having abortion rights as one of the main issues was another turn off.
Not that I’m against abortions rights but as a single guy it registers less than an about 1% of what I care about instead of the 30-40% of the Kamela campaign made it.
I’m also against men in women’s sports and I think democrats sort of became the party that crowd and trans crowd sort of became afflicted with too.
I’m also at odd with democrats in that I think all illegals should be deported.
I want border security but I don’t want a wall because that affects wildlife migration. I think we need more agents and surveillance.
I’m now registered as an independent for these reasons. I’m American first.

Brother, you live in fantasy land? You got Obama derangement syndrome BAD.
Iran essentially WROTE the Trump deal that you claim they hate. If you can’t see how the MOU is tipped 95% in Iran’s favor, you live in La La land.
Us has to pull out the region, not meddle in Irans affairs or try to push for regime change. Iran gets 300 billion , sanctions get lifted .

Trump has absolutely nothing at this point other than an understanding to negotiate a deal.
Well He’s sure been trying for months. He’s been spinning his wheels since late March.
If he would have done it back in March , the 60 days negotiations period would be up.
He can’t make a deal.

Getting Iran to sign any kind of agreement with the United States is a waste of time, ink, and paper.

He’s sent Vance to negotiate multiple times and now Rubio.

Why not research it and come up with a conclusion by yourself?
By my amount it seems like a worse deal considering the resources we have expended. There is significant overlap with Obama deal in that Iran will open nuclear facilities to international inspectors.
Reports are saying we have run thru 50% of our precision strike missiles and Defence interceptors , and our oil reserves are at 43 year low.
Im leaning toward Obama having the better deal if Iran gets 300 billion, but I’d like to hear others thoughts.
I hear we have decimated their military but they still the abilities to control the strait and attack regional allies so I’m not sure how much impact the attacks on their military have add. We have not achieved regime change.
We just made a lot of noise on the international stage. It’s made the trump administration look fairly clueless because Trump has said there’s a deal over 30 times In the last 3 months.
In hindsight ,Trump should have left the Obama deal in place if you ask me/ or not have been persuaded by Israel to engage in this operation.
I just don’t see this memorandum of understanding as an improvement.
Is trumps Iran deal better than Obama’s?

Why would “regional partners” fork up billions if Iran bombed them?
Posted by Bison on 6/17/26 at 11:16 pm
MOU # 6 says
The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop…
I see a lot of posts assuming this is the Gulf states but it’s important to note the vagueness of this line. The agreement is between the US and Iran : which means to Saudi , Oman, Jordan , UAE, Bahrain are not bound to this agreement is any way.
I guess I get the regionally stability argument to some degree but these countries were bombed by Iran and had billions in facilities damaged, now they are expected to pay Iran to stop bombing them?
That’s like getting punch in the face by a bully at school and giving him your lunch money so he won’t do it again. That’s surrender but maybe they are desperate to keep moving their fuel.
Can anyone explain why the gulf states would pay Iran for damages inflicted on their industries facilities?
Is this cheaper than the strait remaining closed and paying Iran tolls? Iran is still getting paid, just in a different way.
Nothing in the deal obligates any of the gulf states to contribute a dime so I don’t understand how some are surmising the gulf states will provide 100% of the “300 billions dollar plan”.
Essentially they pay Iran and have to rebuild their infrastructure on top of the Iran payments.

The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.

6. The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, While ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.
This part I’m not buying, I think we will have to fork up some pretty serious cash but I think Trump will hide it by passing it thru via Saudis , Oman, UAE, Jordan.
I don’t think the money transfer will be this blatant . If this is legit, Trump is getting publicly skull fricked by Iran.

So Netanyahu has disallowed Trump from signing any deal, despite whether Trump and the Iranians may have signaled their own agreement? You’re seriously saying Bibi is the singular reason there is no deal? .
Remember the ceasefire that collapsed when Israel bombed the shite out of Lebanon. Well, that certainly didn’t help. One could make the argument that hindered negotiations.
Vance had to call it a “misunderstanding” about whether Lebanon was included in the ceasefire.
quote:
BEIRUT/TEL AVIV, April 8 (Reuters) - Israel carried out its heaviest strikes on Lebanon since the conflict with Hezbollah broke out last month, killing more than 250 people on Wednesday, as the Iran-aligned group resumed rocket attacks on northern Israel after a brief pause under the two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The strikes ?raised questions about regional truce efforts, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian saying a ceasefire in Lebanon was an essential condition of his country's agreement with the U.S.

He says “ we are able to move commercial shipments ”
“We are able to move.. with partners””
Does that mean cargo shipments are only safe with us navy escorts or does that mean ships are able to move freely without us navy escort?
If US navy leaves , will it remain open and free of tolls?

Driving back to Houston from Galveston, we got SLAMMED with a huge thunderstorm storm, extremely low visibility; Every single vehicle had their hazards on, it was the only way any of us could see the other cars. It was amazing , granted no one was changing lanes, we were all just trying to gtfo safety.
I don’t remember there being a shoulder on this stretch of highway. Never seen anything like it since. Everyone was unified driving the exact same speed.

am personally surprised that Trump did not have the advisors in place to tell him to keep his foot on the gas and end the regime.
My guess is His advisors thought this would be another Venezuela , perhaps presented by Israel that way: that by taking out the ayatollah, they would be cheered and regime change would be possible.
Iran is a theocracy, it’s not a dictatorship. He’s made a martyr of the ayatollah.
Also, the admin seemingly did not anticipate Irans capacity to control/ disrupt oil circulation thru the straight of Hormuz.
Lastly, no foresee exit plan plus trumps ego means we have been told repeatedly: “we won” , or “ we’re going to bomb them again” , or “ we are close to a deal” every week for 3 months.
Trumps words loose weight the more he talks because he keeps flip flopping. and I think Iran is calling trumps bluff. Yes we set their nuclear program back but I doubt their goal was to nuke the USA so it was really just a sucker punch on behalf of Israel .
If we did achieve regime change it would probably collapse after 20 years like Afghanistan without US ground occupation constantly propping it up.
I don’t understand what the American people have gained from this military operation. Admin will put together a “deal” , GTFO and claim victory I guess.
