So to recap: Trump issues a threat. The Iranians issue their own. He backs down, but lies. The Iranians say, hoo boy, that man's a liar. Then they *explain why he’s lying*, turning themselves into honest brokers and proving to the world, especially to American allies, that the president is weak.

We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.
Meta got $13.7 BILLION.
Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND.
Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.
We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

The US military has bombed civilians in previous times of war, but those acts might be forgiven when seen in the context of self-defense. Iran did us no harm. As the AP said, it’s “Donald Trump’s war.” He chose to kill those schoolgirls.
And then lie about it.

Blaming voters for their choice to put us all in this situation is moral. Neither their ignorance nor their selfishness is an excuse.
the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.
