You know it's a terrible deal when The Great Incompetent has made JD Vance the face of it. Poor JD, I almost have empathy for him, trying to sell this capitulation to Iran and even his own party isn't buying it. The straight was shut down today, day three and it's falling apart already.

Left of center candidates are continuing to win at the City mayoral level of politics (Seattle, New York City, Washington DC to name a few). It'll be interesting to see if exposing the neo-conservative attack on the middle and working classes will be a more winning strategy than appeasing the extreme right wing economics of the Reagan revolution.

"Trump lashing out at criticism of Iran deal." Lashing out, hmm, and in other news tomorrow is Sunday. It cost over $120 billion dollars to fight this pointless stupid war and it cost $300 billion dollars paid to Iran to end it. The Great Incompetent at work.

Off topic per usual - the cult members are a pathetic lot.

Canada appears to be surviving the Incompetent's trade war with the USA's northern ally. Good jobs report last month. Also, crude oil exports grew by 7% in April. However, beyond the energy sector, farm, fishing and intermediate food product exports increased by 8.9% in April, to the highest levels since January, 2025. Canada is in a "technical recession" which will likely be erased when updated data revises the January - March information.

Iran and Oman are discussing tolls on the Straight of Hormuz in 60 days. So, that's a new win for Iran from the USA+Israel War. It would have been good if he could have only undone the damage he caused in 2018, when he ripped up the non-proliferation deal negotiated by the Obama White House in 2016. Tired of winning yet? We've got such an incompetent loser in the White House.

Carefully stepping over the lazy video clip. 13 American soldiers died for this incompetent regime to declare defeat. Also, with this memorandum of understanding, the new possibility of Iran charging tolls to pass through the Straight of Hormuz is a real threat. Tired of winning yet? He's such an incompetent embarrassment for America.

A Democratic win in a State Senate election in Georgia has prevented a Republican super majority. The Georgia State House also decided not to go through with a further Republican gerrymander of the congressional map. Georgia will be an interesting State to watch come November.

As part of the 30 day cease fire memoranda of understanding (it's not a peace deal folks) there is a $300 billion dollar financing guarantee being provided to the Iranian government. We'll all just have to wait to see how (not whether) The Great Incompetent is angling to enrich himself out of that slush fund.

Please step over the tik tac hysteria above. Surging personal bankruptcies under this current regime in the White House. The one time The Great Incompetent can honestly say "I feel your pain" with his frequent business failures. If it was for the corruption of this regime, he might still be feeling your pain. The USA remains the only major industrial economy were wide swaths of the population have to declare bankruptcy because of medical bills. Biden's government made some move to improve the situation around medical debt, not having it listed with your credit score. Small but important move on a major problem. At least we were heading in the right direction. The Consumer Bankruptcy Project had 65% percent of people in a survey cite medical issues for their bankruptcies, from the combination of medical bills and loss of income from loss of work. There is nothing coming from this White House regime to address the personal bankruptcy issue of Americans.

I saw that Senator Fetterman was attacking candidate Graham Plattner in Maine. If the Democrats want to have an effect and somewhat unified agenda in the Senate come January 2027, they're going to have to flip five senate seats, to make up for the loose cannon that Fetterman seems to like to style himself as. I don't think he's a Krysten Sinema or a Joe Manchin (he doesn't have the money they did) who cause so much difficulties for Biden in the first two years of his presidency, but he doesn't seem to want to be seen as a dependable (consistent) vote.

A star studded line up of dignitaries, performers and business leaders gave their support to the official opening of the Obama Centre. A complete A-list of their various fields of work. Every living President and 1st Lady. Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, the list goes on and on. Remember what presidential and the dignity of the office looked like.

The Great Incompetent waved the white flag on the war he started. Iran has a more radical government now, than when the war was started by the USA regime and Israel. The citizens of Iran who were protesting their government get nothing. The Americans held in Iran remain in prison. The Great Incompetent has committed to lifting sanctions with no commitment from Iran on it's nuclear program. What a complete incompetent. The USA is standing in ridicule of the world with this "deal".

A positive thread on here with the jointly hosted World Cup with Canada, Mexico and USA.

As the original poster of this thread, I wanted to apologize, for the occasion dump of verbal diarrhea from what appear to be Russian bots, silly Tik Tac clips we all have to step over so our shoes don't get soiled. Personal bankruptcies increased by 11% in 2025, compared to 2024, that's more than 565,000 Americans declaring bankruptcy under The Incompetent's regime. Democrats have made proposals to humanize and protect more assets of Americans declaring bankruptcy. You'd think The Incompetent would support these efforts given his extensive history with bankrupting businesses. Tired of winning yet?

There is a signed document, maybe, no text has been released and according to The Incompetent it might be released next week. Is the USA/Israeli instigated war over? No. It's not over. This document is still limited to, apparently, an extension of the cease fire. The cease fire that Israel has continued to ignore, as they continue to rain bombs down on Lebanon. This will come as a surprise to no one (unless they're a member of The Great Incompetent's cult) there is nothing in the leaked details, so far, that is an improvement on the deal the Obama White House negotiated 10 years ago, with out the blood of American soldiers on their hands (when were we supposed to get tired of winning?).

This regime's corruption and incompetence are the winning messages (and facts) for the fall I think. Buying shares in UFC and then days later announces a UFC fight on the White House South Lawn. New White House motto, Insider Trading for me, Inflation for you.
