    Yes, Trump has run this playbook many times.

    The playbook is as follows:

    1) Break things
    2) Stop breaking things
    3) Declare victory due to things no longer getting broken

    We're all tired of it.

    This is an outrageous, sinful comment from Hegseth.

    Hegseth: "God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings, and strikes, carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection."

    If you had told me that comment was from some Iranian jihadist I wouldn't question it.

    You know, Stalin was killing millions in the USSR when Hitler was just getting started. And they both went down in infamy even though they fought one another. It's possible to have more than one supervillain in the world at the same time.

    During the two-week 'ceasefire,' only about 10 to 15 ships will be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran's approval, in coordination with the IRGC Navy and after payment of tolls, and the United States is committed to releasing all of Iran's frozen assets. The Strait of Hormuz will by no means be 'open' in its previous form, even after a final agreement. In addition, the United States has committed to refraining from any troop movements during this period. During this time, negotiations will be held based on Iran's 10-point plan, details of which are referenced in the statement of the Supreme National Security Council. In the event of no agreement, the war will resume.

    When’s the last time you’ve seen the United States get cooked like this?

    I'll take that with a huge grain of salt.

    Pres. Trump declared a cease fire for 2 weeks on the condition that Iran open the Strait.

    It looks like in less than 24 hour Iran has not met the condition and it did not honor the ceasefire yesterday when it launched missile and drone attacks around the Middle East.

    Pres. Trump has them back in a condition of not knowing when or what he might opt to do next because the two week window is now inoperative whether they realize it or not.

    US, Israel and the Gulf States are collecting signals and human intelligence that will inform what needs to be done next.

    Knowing this requires critical thinking, something conservatives have none of.

    Why in the hell do we keep funding and supporting Israel to take over lands, displace thousands of civilians, kill and bomb whoever they want, ceasefire or not, and commit war crimes upon humanity? Their interests aren't making Americans Great again, whether it's Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran. Stop funding that regime! As if Trump coddling Putin wasn't bad enough, Bibi steps in and gets Trump to join right in on his criminal acts, and spend billions upon billions of our tax dollars doing it. Surely this can't all be because they know how to stroke his ego. Blackmail on Trump sounds more realistic every day.

    The individual in question is Jordy Meiselas. He founded what they call the "Meidas Touch media network" along with his two older brothers, Ben and Brett, who I'm guessing do most of the real work. His job description is described as "marketing" so Im guessing he does the internet stuff for the company.

    As far as I can tell, Meidas Touch is basically a "collective" of internet political content creators. They do have some sort-of big-ish names within the limited bubble of that environment like Ron Filipkowski and Michael Popok on their network.

    He is 27 years old and therefore can legally drink alcohol in all 50 states.
