Just unbelievable that you constantly come back for more abuse on this one. I promised that the second President dealmaker tore up the Iran deal we'd either be at war with Iran or they'd have a nuke. You said this dumb mf'er would be able negotiate the greatest deal ever without going to war because reasons. And, like always, I was proven 100% right and you were proven 100% wrong. The fact that Iran's still dog walking him isn't surprising and of course you conflating being mean to Trump with rooting for Iran isn't either because you're in a cult full of divorced life losers who worship a pedophile.

July 8Jul 8 My wife's father LOVED Costco. One of his favorite past times was telling me all about the deals he got, like what he paid per pound for steak. I'd say something like "wow, that's a great price," and then my wife would interject going "dad, Vikas has no clue how much a steak costs."My wife made me go to a Costco on a Saturday in like 2008 when we lived in San Francisco. It was the 7th circle of hell. Told her I'd never set foot inside a Costco again. I've been with her parents a few times since then (playing nice with in-laws), but never on a weekend. Now that her dad has passed, we just Instacart it for my mother-in-law.

Id call it middle to upper middle class. Nothing wrong with the place, but with ordering stuff online for delivery being relatively cheap and often free, I stopped going a while ago. Most of my non food grocery items I get from Amazon on auto delivery shipped free. And i do shop from home pick-up at shop-rite like I explained earlier for non-fresh food stuff, buying everything on sale that we regulary eat, it costs 5 bucks and keeps my house stocked full

You were so on point about Trump that you decided to randomly, totally unrelated, take a long term vacation from the EMB only to magically return. You must have just been celebrating your rightness that entire timeKamala would have gifted Iran a nuke.

Or is your MAGA programming broken on Iran because Trump keeps waffling between flailing and waving the white flag and you're just reaching for anything at this point?Your boy sheet the bed on this one, Mike. He's already given them $12B, he's gonna end up giving them more (including the Strait) and he's never getting half of what Obama got out of them without firing a shot. We both know it. It must be humiliating to constantly defend a clear L like this.

The imaginable horrors are endless. Why, we could be at war with Iran while running a $2 trillion deficit while simultaneously having the lowest job growth in years with gas prices near $4 a gallon!

Tore up the deal that Obama made, and thenJune 2025 quotes"It was a complete obliteration,” Trump said of the Saturday strike in Iran.Trump, flanked by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, said that such reports are false and that Iran’s nuclear ambitions were set back "decades.”"I don’t think they’ll ever do it again. … I think they’ve had it,” Trump said. "I mean, they just went through hell. I think they’ve had it. The last thing they want to do is enrichAnd then 9 months later in March 2026But if we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would have had a nuclear war, and they would have taken out many countries.Iran was "two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon” and that US forces are "knocking the hell out of them.” "moving along fast”My only question for you Mike, is which time was Trump lying, because both of these things can not be true.
