Well, the on again, off again Iran negotiations may be off again as Trump accuses Iran of "not dealing in good faith."



You might recall that Operation Epic Fury began while Iran was engaged in negotiations with the United States to renew restrictions on its nuclear program.

And it was in June 2025, while his representatives were in talks with Iran over that country’s ability to produce nuclear weapons, Trump launched Operation Midnight Hammer targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Yet, Trump, the man who tore up the 2015 Iran deal, accuses Iran of not negotiating in good faith.

on again/off again stuff is just to play the markets - it's the biggest grift of insider trading ever seen. If only this country had a media to report on it . . . .

Iran in the middle of those three separate times.

Why anyone or any country would trust what comes out of this deviant’s mouth is beyond me.

This was will not end until we get a new administration that uses professional state specialists to handle negotiations.

In the mean time, we will get a new set of lies every other day to keep the market from tanking.

concerning agreed upon terms to end Trump's non-war?

Let's see how Trump likes this rather juvenile approach that only seems to work with his supporters.

And prematurely bragged to the sycophantic press that the agreement was close.

IMHO No agreement had even been talked about.

There is no reason to expect the Iranians to act like suckers. As much as I dislike the Iranian Islamic Republic, I see no reason to believe that America’s enemies are required to be stupid, not know their best interests, not to be competent, or to act stupidly.

And by Gummidgy, they AREN’T following Donnie’s script.

This is NOT a slam on the United States. It IS a slam on the level of “competence” found in the Oval Office and among DJT’s minions in the Executive Branch and the groveling and cowardice found in both Houses of Congress..

Watching DJT this year is so horrifying that it’s causing me to think “OMG, even George W. Bush was better at this!”

To any of the purists and politically-apathetic citizens who sat on their backsides in 2024 instead of voting against what we’ve got now:

“This one’s on YOU! YOU helped make it happen!”
