Conservatives wanted Barack Obama impeached over the money he agreed to pay Iran (which was Iran’s money, frozen in U.S. banks), which was $1.7 billion.

Trump is going to hand Iran 176 times that amount. https://trib.al/lpcnzAn

#US - #Iran deal redraws the #MiddleEast∶

Iran gains, rivals alarmed

Across the Middle East — from #Israel to #GulfStates & factions in #Lebanon — it looks more like the curse of the century: an accord that could leave Iran more secure, more ‌legitimate & ultimately more influential.

ICYMI: "After a three-year push, #Hawaii officially has implemented a shield law to explicitly protect providers and patients of #GenderAffirmingCare for the #trans community.

"House Bill 1875, also known as Act 059, was signed by Governor Josh Green—himself a physician—late last week. The bill explicitly adds gender-affirming care to its existing shield law, which broadly covered reproductive health, and established safeguards from “abusive litigation” coming from outside states."

I love my adopted home.

Imagine if you took your dad’s car for a joyride after you dad explicitly told you not to do it, and then your dad, a policeman, has to chase you down the road because he sees you driving his car, and then when you’re punished for 6 months for doing the thing, you still brag to your friends that your dad doesn’t tell you what to do.

Now … imagine this being International Relations.

It’s like Groundhog Day except the day Bill Murray is stuck in is a perpetual stupid war that makes everyone on the planet’s life worse and more expensive

“He’s a real businessman.” “No, he’s a grifter.” “He’s the president.” “Yes, and he’s monetizing it.” WATCH embarrassingly naive Carla Sands somehow just now learn from @bakarisellers.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy the Trumps are obscenely corrupt and personally enriching themselves with billions.

@deedeeque @samiamsam @kibcol1049 I don't think there's a jury in the civilised world that would convict Canada or Iceland for making a precision strike on the White House ballroom/bunker. He who lives by the sword...

Oh, the stock market is up again, is it?

Isn't that special.

What is it we have more of now that a bunch of businesses gained in value?

Here's Germany's stock market during Hitler's run. Notice 1939 - 1943 how it grows and grows like it was on steroids. The peak of the worst atrocities humanity had ever committed up to then were *good* *for* *business*.

Right up until the markets were frozen, as Nazi advances were.

The lesson here is simple. Money having a good day is not people having one.
