2 Iran boasts Trump's war deal is 'America's declaration of defeat' after Donald rages at US Senate's 'meaningless' vote demanding an end to the conflict

3 I am sick and tired of these Senators. I am not going to vote for Collins. She can rot in hell. Nor will I vote for any Demoncrat. To hell with all of them.

And F you chuckles. You aspire to the level of scum.

4 Whiskey, our elections are about the lesser of two evils; consider that before not voting 'for' Collins.

5 Glenmore, you are exactly right. In 2016, I did not really like Trump. But I swore that I would crawl on my hands and Knees the two miles to my polling place to vote AGAINST Hillary.

6 Forced choice in Maine’s Senate election. It’s either the Nazi necrophiliac + that will lobby with the democrats thus flipping committee chairs to all democrats or Collins.

Look what happened to England after voters boycotted their RINOs, they got Starmer who has destroyed the Country.
I’d rather not see that happen here.

7 "I believe President Trump is getting very poor advice on Iran," Senator Ted Cruz
Trump's choices have been limited due to unrelated political infighting, which is likely what drives decisions Cruz interprets as due to 'bad advice.'

8 Sigh. You all are right. Makes my blood boil though. I hope to get a chance to talk to her someday.

9 "I believe President Trump is getting very poor advice on Iran," Senator Ted Cruz;

No idea about the quality of advice Trump is getting from his advisors and the intel community, but while his moves may seem chaotic and random, they are plays straight out of modern Game Theory.

Originally, game theory was about making the best move in a given situation, like given this hand of cards, should I raise or fold? Later on it came to include ideas about communication between players. How do you signaling a willingness to cooperate, or make a believable threat, or compel another player?

I suggest the good Senator read some modern Game Theory, particularly Thomas Schelling's "The Strategy of Conflict". The method behind Trump's madness will become clear.

10 The Israel Times’ Haviv Retig Gul, who does not like President Trump — and loathes Bibi — practically raved about what a genius President Trump is in terms of manipulating Middle Eastern rulers. I didn’t get the link for the Facebook Reel, because I’m doing articles for tomorrow, but I was shocked to see it.
