And yet, they were, weren't they?

It doesn't matter which parts they were or were not misled by, the fact remains that they were misled.

Not as they see it though. They don't exactly question their support for him even if his policies destroyed their businesses.

It doesn't matter how they see it.

They were misled.

Why should it be so difficult to expect that they would be misled again?

That's why Morrisey's comment suffered from such irony. Only a year after 68% of the state's electorate (and probably about 100% of the Republicans) were misled by Trump's campaign, Morrisey, a Republican who watched just what Trump had done in full understanding of what he did as well as how and why he did it, is expressing surprise that those very same voters are being misled in exactly the same way by the very same techniques.

What he is really surprised about is that this time it's being done to him instead of to a Democrat.

Karma is a bitch.

Poor, dumb Melania. Is her English so poor, she can't write anything for herself? Is her staff so incompetent they can't write anything original for her? What does she do with herself all day??? Her kid is 12. Most kids are pretty independent at that age. He shouldn't need her 24/7 attention. Guess she's as shallow and lazy as her hubby.

Alas he worked up the energy to completely wreck years of diplomacy in the Middle East for, reasons?

I refuse to take shots at Melania and would encourage others not to as well. It's absurd that she is campaigning against cyber-bullying given that she is married to one. But the people that pick on her only look petty.

Pot meet kettle. You appear pretty shallow with this post.
 
So we just walked away from the Iran deal, gaining absolutely nothing by doing so while losing any place at the table, respect, face, and credibility which will drastically reduce our ability to negotiate a NK denuclearization deal.

All so some fragile wimps can pretend to be strong.

Yes, why?

She's the plagiarist. She's allowing herself to be one of the faces of this administration. This is no longer some paying gig where she's just the pretty scenery. This is her job, and she's doing a piss poor job of it.

And that is just for starters.
I am convinced that military action against Iran is going to happen within the next year.
From the Wonderful People who brought you Iraq....

Sounds like what they're aiming for to me. How they plan to pull off a major war with Iran at this point, however, is a total mystery.

On Facebook, Barack Obama takes a verbous, well-argued shot at Trump's decision to walk away from the international deal with Iran:

It is rare, if at all precedented, for Obama to directly comment on, and criticize, current policy decisions by his successor.

It's rare for any president to do this - but Dolt 45 is so spectacularly off the rails and unconcerned with precedent in any case that perhaps it's time to do so...

Probably a total mystery to people in the Pentagon also.
A quick strike a la Iraq in 1981 is out of the question;the Iranian nuke program is too well dispersed and protected for that.
I have a theory the real aim is "regime change" in Iran..which would lead to a bloodbath that would make Iraq look like a walk in the park.
I have no love whatsoever for the Iranian regiem,and if would vanish off the face of the earth tomorrow the world would be a lot better off but the idea we can overthrow it is silly.
I think that Bolton and his ilk really want revenge for the Iran Hostage Crisis the handling of which they see as the start of all America's problem with radical Islam.
Never forget, Bolton is an apologetic suppoters of the 2003 war with Iraq.

Thank goodness the President of Iran is being much more thoughtful and level-headed than the POTUS.


How is that I can rationally type that

And this is the ridiculous part of all this. If Trump has some set of terms for verification and inspection in mind that would be acceptable to him with regards to NK then why not put them on the table for Iran? The answer I suspect is there are no such terms, NK has simply realized it can get Trump to go easy on them by stroking his ego.

The whole world understands Trump better than many Americans do.
