Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

The US did not have to agree to this. They could have negotiated different language, making ceasefire commitments without accepting "refrain from the threat" in the document too. The president and his representatives said yes and officially signed it. That was a choice. One that has helped Iran.

The Trump regime handed Iran the ability to strategically ignore US MOU violations if the Iranians like how things are going, or cite US MOU violations if the Iranians prefer to delay, drag things out, let economic damage accumulate, and aim for more concessions. Own goal, on top of the failed war.

No serious diplomat would have signed a doc that (1) commits someone else (Israel) to doing things they didn't agree to, and (2) promises to not issue threats and then issues threats. Hands the other side leverage. Maybe a corrupt son-in-law and real estate investor buddy weren't the best choice.

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

What Ngo does not include is that vehicle rammings have been an increasingly, and alarmingly, common tactic used against protesters. In 2017, a neo-Nazi at “Unite the Right” murdered a woman with his car in Virginia. We saw the same tactic proliferate in 2020.

Vehicle rammings against protesters are on the rise, but the justice system often sides with drivers
Demonstrators around the country have been injured and killed by vehicle rammings, but there’s been precious little justice. And new laws could make accountability even scarcer.

Can you imagine if a Democratic president started a war for no reason, lost it within a few months, and surrendered? The media would eat that president alive. Then it would spend the next 50 years demanding every Democratic presidential candidate prove ahead of time they aren't similarly loserish.
