“We increased sanctions, we did everything we could to deprive Iran of any economic benefit of staying in the deal,” Schiff told “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper.
Wait. “We” didn’t pull out of the nuclear agreement and increase sanctions. That was Trump and Republican enablers.
I know what Schiff means. But, never say “we” and give any hint of sharing responsibility for terrible decisions and policies when it was “he and they.”
Listen, Shifty Li’l Shitt. Donald Trump has his best man on the case: Jarod! One of YOUR people: Very, very smart … so smart that his father was able to buy his way into HARVARD (BEST PEOPLE)!
Jarod’s been going to the gym a lot recently with Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud (spotting him in the weight room! wiping him with nice towels!). It’s been going really well! MBS is all bulked up – plus he has all kinds of new F35s and bone saws. SO he’s EATING OUT OF JAROD"S HANDS!
We’ve got a great deal: We’re helping the Saudis kill children in Yemen and destabilize our Qatari allies. In exchange we’re also helping them start a war with Iran. Art of the deal! Finally, we’re respected by our allies! Pretty soon those Persians will be OUT of the Persian Gulf, which will all be declared Saudi territorial waters! PROBLEM SOVED!
Unfortunately, Trump is technically the head of the family, hopefully just until the 2020 elections throw him out. Until then, we all have to labor under his dark cloud of stupidity. It is a little like being the responsible kid for a single parent who is constantly drunk.
“We increased sanctions, we did everything we could to deprive Iran of any economic benefit of staying in the deal,” Schiff told “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper. “And now the vice president and others express surprise that Iran may leave the deal and go back to enriching. It would be surprising if they didn’t.”
"I am the greatest negotiator this country has ever had.” – Donald J. Trump (April 26, 2019)
A closer look at polling data shows a trend of more support for the Conman ©.
538 weights polls to control for any bias and has C’s approval at 42.6%.
Real Clear Politics (RCP) does not weight polls but uses a simple average and has C’s approval at 44.6%, 2% more.
But both show a trend of increased support for C.
538 has C at 41.1% on May 28, and this reveals a recent gain of 1.5%.
RCP has C at 42.4% on May 28, and this shows a recent gain of 2.2%.
These are gains of 1.5% and 2.2% in support for C over a little less than the last 4 weeks.
That is very scary.
“We’re prepared to negotiate with no preconditions,” Pompeo told reporters. “They know precisely where to find us. I am confident that at the very moment they are ready to engage with us we will be able to begin these conversations.”
So we blow up the nuclear agreement for what exactly? Back to negotiations with no pre-conditions and absolutely no way of reaching a better agreement than what the Obama Administration delivered. I expect this sort of criminal stupidity from Trump, but let’s not forget Netanyahu also.
And Iran has already gotten back the funds that we had frozen for decades, so that bargaining chip is gone.
Of course, why would Iran want to negotiate with these fat boinks, Trump and Pompeo, when there’s only 15 months to the general election? Hell, Pompeo might be gone next week for all we know. Why would they negotiate with an unstable regime?
Iran, if you’re listening, the world would love to know what happened between Trump and Russia in 2016. I’m sure you’ll be richly rewarded by the media.
And, according to Trump, Dems would be stupid not to listen.
ps: I’m just “joking”.
Because they can just dangle shiny things for him for 15 months, never quite deliver anything, and continue their march towards nuclear weapons, hoping to get over that last hurdle while someone so stupid is in charge, to pull off the North Korea bit of being untouchable because they could hit Israel with a nuke.
Trump always keeps his promises . . .unless is it just an international treaty, or he decides that he doesn’t like it, or it suddenly looks politically inconvenient, or the bill comes due . . . but other than those little things, he always keeps his promises.
And probably just statistical noise. There is going to be a lot of that over the coming months that really doesn’t mean anything. If you want to lose sleep, just think about the 42% or so of the American public that actually supports this crazy sociopath.
Of course things on the Iran front will all calm down as Trump’s serene and altruistic pal Bibi approaches a new election in hopes of clinging to power.
No, it’s not statistical noise, the gains are real.
Your lack of knowledge about statistics is showing.
It is worse than you imagine. Please adjust to this reality.
I wonder if the Israeli people realize how hard Obama was working on their behalf and how much worse off they are now vis a vis Iran because of Trump and their own elected Prime Minister?
And most political polls have a +/- of 3-4%, so unless you’ve got documentation that these ones are claiming a much tighter margin of error, then, no, @outis is entirely correct. Anything less than the margin of error is potentially significant or nothing at all.
The Republican Party needs a war every time a President is up for re-election. Our military-mercenary-weapons complex needs a new war every 3-4 years to stimulate demand and to test the effectiveness of the weapons to kill real people. The British need a war given the mess they are in. The pound is overvalued by 45-55% relative to the economic fundamentals. Mo Bin Saw (SAW), the Halal Butcher, Crown Prince and Al-Shaitan of the holy land of the 9-11 terrorists needs a wahabbi sunni jihadi genocide of the Shia. The corrupt Benjamin Netanyahu needs a distraction as well. Nothing more glorious than a war that kills lots of people to solve everyone’s problems.
Again, your lack of knowledge about statistics is showing. These are aggregated figures so your facts about individual polls don’t apply here.
Any margin of error of many aggregated polls is much smaller than the average of any one poll. That’s basic statistics.
More polls show greater accuracy. In 2016, the aggregation of polls by 535 was close to the actual results.
We should not follow your inaccurate claim and underestimate the threat that these findings portend.
And when you forecast out beyond a few cycles, the error gets immense. Besides, Trump could drop dead tomorrow and do everyone a favor. Still the mass hysteria of the Trump voters is alarming. Even if a Democrat is president in 2021, they (and their guns, viz. Oregon militias) will still be here.
