Description

JVL, Sarah Longwell, and Tim Miller discuss the Iran "deal" that isn't really a deal—a memorandum of understanding that lifts sanctions immediately and hands Iran $300 billion while punting everything else down the road. Then: the war hawks who drummed up the Iran war—Thiessen, Graham, Levin, the WSJ editorial board — are repositioning and refusing to say they were wrong. Plus: Trump's accelerating decline, the corruption behind the White House UFC fight, and why Trump's DOJ will open a federal investigation on every 2028 Democratic nominee regardless of who it is.

Isn't a Memorandum of Understanding the same as a "Concept of a plan?

He tried to kill his last VP so getting scapegoated for a war ain’t so bad I guess.

What isreal needs to lose is 43 million a day of American money. 18 billion a year+. We need to cut them off and put aipac out of Washington permanently. I don't disagree with helping other countries but not helping them kill children. Hard pass.

JVL, Netanyahu is as delusional as Trump. Just as panicked to stay out of jail, too!

I’m sure Trump will be getting a cut out of the $300 billion. I think the Iranian leadership is astute enough to realize that the best way to get a deal is to give him a payoff.
