That’s a great joke*

Posted by doubledown
|
Definitely in Jared’s pocket anyway. *
Posted by assassin

It’s a pretty good guess for everything he does. Probably has an 80% hit rate.*

The other 20% is self aggrandizement
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
Occam's Kazoo. *
Posted by doubledown
|
Biden was doing it too. It’s carrot to try to get them to normalize relations with Israel
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
It's a nuclear power framework, not nuclear weapons.
Posted by Stu
|
there is a greater than zero chance the US gives the Saudis nukes and then gets nuked
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Agree. We are insane to trust those bastards.
Posted by Stu
|
Letting a US contractor build their nuclear power plants is actually great for non-proliferation
Posted by DT
|
We are giving them enrichment capability*
Posted by Stu
|
Which will lead to a bomb

|
House Republicans approve $95 billion for Trump’s very quick war in Iran

|
It’s *nothing ever happens* o’clock, Stu.*
Posted by Toonces
|
What's the over/under on Trump backing down on the Canada tariffs?*
Posted by Sounder
|
He already carved out oil since stable geniuses can do that*
Posted by illini222
|
I love that SCOTUS ruled that he can't unilaterally create tariffs 5 months ago
Posted by VIV
|
He's 80 and rules have never applied to him
Posted by Sounder

|
Of which she will have an enormous advantage
Posted by Sounder

No. She lost the primary for Governor…
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
it's mind-blowing for a rule-follower like myself to realize how few rules there actually are*
Posted by Sammich
|
What do you mean? I'm no fan of Lindsey Graham and probably not gonna like his sister much either..
Posted by haighter

she spent a career using public money to help people with disabilities

Be kind of funny if they elected her on name recognition alone, and ended up getting a lib. *
Posted by doubledown
|
I suppose in this case it's not that there are no rules

i maintain that anyone voting biden in the primary had to understand that there was a strong
