It didn’t go well.

Shipwreck ‪@shipwreck75.bsky.social‬

VP JD Vance says the Iranian regime refused to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan.

At the end of the press conference, the Vice President was asked what this means and if we are going back to war, he did not respond. Vice president’s press conference lasted under 4 min.

So killing their spiritual leader, bombing an elementary school, threatening to wipe out their civilization, referring to it as a Christian holy war, and sending Mr. Personality Vance to negotiate didn’t get things resolved?

Judd Legum ‪@juddlegum.bsky.social‬

There is absolutely no justification for calling Vance anti-interventionalist. He supports the war in Iran. (And he supported all of Trump’s other foreign interventions.) As the chief negotiator, he has decided the best course is for the war in Iran to continue.

probably the most common folk wisdom I knew growing up was “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. clearly history’s most special boy donald j trump never heard about that one.

I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World.

So, Trump has agreed stop bombing Iran if they agree to open the strait that wasn’t closed until Trump started bombing Iran?

Ron Filipkowski ‪@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social‬

So Trump accepted the 10-point peace plan that Iran proposed previously that Trump said was “not good enough.” But now it is apparently good enough. Art of the Deal.

Blink.

And Iran gets $2,000,000.00 per ship in toll revenue? So much winning.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again…”

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

SENATOR COLLINS’ LIST OF 18 CZARS
[….]

Republican enablers and Donald Trump (r) are shameless. But, then, you already knew that.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of “FRAUD” in the United States. It is massive and pervasive, and the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration, will be a major factor in how great the future of our Country will be. We will call him the “FRAUD CZAR,” and his focus will be “EVERYWHERE,” but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a “free for all” in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money. The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget. Raids have already started in L.A. Good Luck JD!
