    That childish administration is getting tossed around everywhere they go. Some say their goal is not to serve their country but to distract away from a criminal ring, which would explain why they’re so out of touch.

    I wish Trump supporters were smart enough to realize how stupid they are.

    But I guess that’s the thing about being unbelievably stupid.

    I’m just imagining the Iranian negotiators bombarding Bowman with an incessant barrage of hockey-player trash talk, until he curls up in a ball and cries. “I’ve seen your mother’s pussy. It’s you, ya loser. Does your mouth bleed once a month?”

    Then playing Plastic Bertrand in his hotel room, especially the part with “I am the king of the divan.”

    But as @Modern_medicine_isnt says, let’s see how it plays out. My personal view is that Vance can’t even fart without asking Orangeman’s permission, adheres to a morally bankrupt, imbecilic ideology, and even if he were free to act, which he isn’t, he’s too spineless to actually decide anything.

    I gotta say. This is the most shallow BS I have read. How about we focus on actual progress instead of focusing on the pre fight weight check BS shinnanigans.
    Pretty sure vance will lose on the negotiations too. And that is what really matters. Let’s have some substance to the well deserved bashing.

      This is part of the results. The “honor” of a state is a soft power resource, that is relevant to a lot of other states and will influence their behavior towards it.

        I call BS. I don’t think anyone is saying… we better give the, what they want. They show up late.
        They look at the agreements that come out of the negotiations.

    This entire thing is because Vance showed up forst and the other guy didn’t shake hands.

    This article is drivel.

    The Trump administration has absolutely no clue about diplomacy.
    They keep shouting ALL IN with 2 and 7 in hand, at a chess tournament.

    MAGAs are such pathetic losers, and literally EVERYBODY in the entire world can see it. And worse, even MAGA knows it, and they try to cover it with bullying, threats, and intimidation, which have long stopped working on anyone but their own loser following.

    Their legacy as corrupt, treasonous, racist, misogynist pedophiles is fully forged, and there will be no redemption, reevaluation, or forgiveness.

      They had their chance to overthrow the republic in Q1 and they threw it because the moderate Republicans got scared and some of those checks and balances kicked in (as per recent NYT reporting). Now they’re just fumbling. Should have dealt the death blow to American democracy when they had the chance.

    Fascists are cucks. Their whole world is about power and hierarchy, so they become naturally subservient in the presence of anyone who pounds his chest just a little more.

      Hey now, clowns play an important role in society! They provide levity and comedic reprieve. Don’t you insult them by comparing them to someone as useful as a hammer lubricant.

    Who comes first, who talks last, who has the fragiler ego, who the smaller dick. And this is why we should abolish the practice of personal talks in politics. It’s not about you, dumbfucks, but the people you represent.

    He never looked powerful to begin with. He looked weak going in. It’s a good thing trump’s complicit pal and his daughter’s husband were there.

      Not the VR part, but what if you could construct a scenario where all the power seeking people end up in what they think is a bunker where they are controlling everything, but actually it’s one of many prison cells where the scenario dictates you have to stay inside or lose your grip on power. You can only walk out if you decide you don’t want to rule the world. A prison without locks or guards.

      Maybe we already have, and we’re the AI agents designed to fool them into thinking they’re still in the real world.

      Hope the real us are doing well somewhere.
