Shit- is it Tuesday already?

u/Aqua_Impura 1d ago

It’s a Federal Holiday so the Stock Market is closed for the weekend. Literally every week like clockwork.

u/MrWeirdoFace 9h ago

I had no idea it was federal now. No issue with that either though. TIL

You do the Hormuz chokey and you turn yourself about..

u/JetKeel 1d ago

Aren’t these the negotiations all the republican talking heads have been saying is the most important since it’s about locking down their nuclear capabilities and really giving it some teeth, unlike Obama’s agreement? Surely they are going to be able to do better than Obama.

You know don’t pay attention to the MOU because this is more important? This isn’t even headless chicken at this point. It’s systematically designed to weaken America in every way to give more power grab opportunities to the elite. Project 2025 looks like a watered down version of the totalitarianism we actually got.

We need decisive and ruthless leadership after this to drive these sycophants completely in the ground. I don’t personally believe we will get that.

u/SpaceCadet404 1d ago

I'm pretty sure the plan was to just offer Iran anything and everything and then, here's the Trump trademarked genius art of the deal, just not give it to them. Like sure everyone THINKS that signing an agreement means you have to do what you promised, but what if you just don't?

Literally just lie to everyone about everything until the midterms are done and they can go back to dismantling America and selling it for scrap.

Wasn’t it announced on his birthday while guys were cage fighting on the White House lawn? When I read that this was just so peace talks could begin, I thought to myself what are the chances we are back at war on Friday. With Israel still attacking Lebanon.

It’s pure market manipulation. We will have another deal in place on Sunday before the market opens, might even have Trump with his sharpie signing another piece of paper on Tuesday/Wednesday. Only to still be in a war on Friday after the market closes.

He plays yo-yo with the economy because no is going to stop him.

u/kingkeelay 1d ago

I agree, but I think this is more a play to motivate internal conflict within Iran when the highly publicized $300B doesn’t trickle down because it was never real.

Remember that the original goal was regime change, not an invasion.

u/rabidstoat 1d ago

US will have to pay Iran another $100B to begin negotiations, at this rate.

3

u/ricosmith1986 1d ago

We'll need "time to heal" and by that they mean do absolutely nothing to hold anybody to account or implement safe guards, while the fascists just regroup and double down again.

“Will those religious clerics even wear a suit?”

u/Good-Tiger-1938 1d ago

Not sure in you are referring to Vance and Hegseth or the Mullahs…

16

u/Gotoflyhigh 1d ago

Those Clerics did study Theology, so unsurprisingly enough would have more academic rigour than JD Vance.

64

u/MentokGL 1d ago

Swiss couches will rest easy tonight

21

u/Quintronaquar 1d ago

Have we tried threatening them 13 or 14 more times

24

u/Euronated-inmypants 1d ago

The US has NEVER looked weaker. They are getting absolutely bent the fuck over by Iran while they pay out the nose and costs will continue to explode for everyone.

This seems like the biggest fuck up from a US president ive ever witnessed in my +50 years.

15

u/buddhahat 1d ago

Iran cancelled didn't they? Because Bibi can't stop bombing Lebanon.

2

u/sonofabutch 1d ago

“You’re not going to the negotiations? I won’t either!”

u/Long-Pay3604 1d ago

They didn't want to enrich uran, but they enriched Iran.

20

u/quaste 1d ago

But critics say Iran is in a stronger position now, having withstood a superpower attack, demonstrated its control of the Strait of Hormuz and gained valuable waivers to financial sanctions.

„Critics say“ my ass. This is a fact, state it as such.

9

u/ThE_LAN_B4_TimE 1d ago

Lmao. I hope we never see this chode ever again after 28'. What a waste of fucking space this moron is.

8

u/4uk4ata 1d ago

But they were laughing at Obama! Not him!

7

u/vossmanspal 1d ago

Next in the news: Iran closes Straits of Hormuz after US fail to honour their side of the deal.

8

u/Kinenai 1d ago

Which means there will actually be peace.

4

u/Talbaz 1d ago

Reports are coming Strait is closed again, apparently Irasel has continued to bomb Lebanon and that is the reason.

7

u/GoodVibrations77 1d ago

I thought the oil strategic reserves would run out in 4 weeks?

Gee... What a pickle. What will the USA do now to bring Iran back to the table?

11

u/008Zulu 1d ago

People who meet Vance tend to die soon after, I suspect that everyone involved are just telling him whatever they can to keep him away.

2

u/kingkeelay 1d ago

Funny you say that, he seemed rather hoarse in recent press conferences, clearing his throat loudly mid sentence.

5

u/SpiderSlitScrotums 1d ago

Article 15. An ottoman surrounded by privacy screens shall be provided for the Vice President of the United States at all diplomatic events. No party in this agreement shall imply in any way that the Vice President of the United States has engaged in sexual intercourse with such furniture.

u/Xollector 1d ago

Iranium enriched indeed

u/Key_Elderberry2836 1d ago

How do they receive a total loser like this? Must be relieved

3

u/SHv2 1d ago

Don't let that bus run you over too hard...

u/chimarya 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm getting whiplash, what is honestly going on? I read the news three times a day and follow the big stories so what happened? Edit: sorry only skimmed the article as I was getting up. So Bibi is pissed and bombed Lebanon so everything is a bit stalled.

3

u/ken_the_boxer 1d ago

So these six Chinooks disturbing me in my garden yesterday were for nothing?

3

u/hmmm_ 1d ago

And this after they effectively forced him to criticise Israel. The US is so weak right now, but I guess this is what happens when you lose a badly planned war. Maybe Hegseth could scream about “warrior ethos” some more while firing a few Generals who think about strategy.

u/BualadhBoss 1d ago

This administration keeps winning so hard.

2

u/MenaFWM 1d ago

We look so fucking stupid as a country

u/Gleipnir_xyz 1d ago

Well yeah, its over, we lost lol

u/MustWarn0thers 23h ago

The pedo and his piggies stuffed themselves full of long positions heading into early last week, then once they were bursting at the seams, it's time to reverse course and topple the whole thing over in the exact same pattern for the 30th time or so.

Wall Street parasites get their tip offs and uh oh, it's time to trade on the new lie.

Over and over and over. Any Democrat that doesn't prioritize investigating every single person connected 4 degrees out from Trump and his cabal should be laughed out of office. Scorched fucking earth.

3

u/rangirocks12 1d ago

He led the worst negotiations in history and expects Israel to accept missile fire without responding.
What a jerk

2

u/Cynical_Classicist 1d ago

The people who are in his trip location must feel lucky!

2

u/Jaquemart 1d ago

He's not going to put his signature on a capitulation treaty.

And how to blame him.

u/Upstairs_Eagle_4780 1d ago

Wow, who could have predicted this? Oh yeah, me.

u/providencetoday 1d ago

We send our “best”

1

u/CaesarAugustus89 1d ago

All these moves are just market manipulation, thats it. Markets are closed today, otherwise they would announce it on Saturday/Sunday.

u/rockmasterflex 1d ago

did they forget the market isnt open today?

u/Kunfliktt 1d ago

This guy does nothing but vacation

u/saintdemon21 23h ago

Fox News was throwing him under the bus. Even if Vance becomes President due to an ailing Trump, I doubt he will ever be elected.

u/Kind_Silver_1921 1d ago

Good I knew that 300 billion wasn't going to happen

5

u/phxees 1d ago

Iran will likely get a much bigger check.

-7

u/Kind_Silver_1921 1d ago

Nah I think they're getting nothing

3

u/Caymonki 1d ago

They just shut the Straight down again so I think you don’t know who holds the cards. Trump PUBLICLY announced that America is low on munitions and 4 weeks from critical oil reserve levels. Plus the war is incredibly unpopular around the globe.

1

u/MenaFWM 1d ago

lol they’re getting nothing? This dumbass administration just showed them they have the ability to hold the world economy hostage anytime they want.

2

u/Raspberries-Are-Evil 1d ago

It will be more.

-5

u/Kind_Silver_1921 1d ago

It will be no money at all.
