6. The myth is that there is a negotiation.
Sat Apr 25, 2026, 07:18 PM
Saturday

There is no negotiation. There will never be a negotiation. There is no way out with the felon in the White House.

Unlike Greenland, where he could just walk away in the face of resistance, there is no walking away on Iran.

He is incapable of negotiating. He just bellows demands.

Those demands will never be met.

The only "out" is surrender and reparations -- and the attendant epic humiliation, which he will not allow.

The magnitude of the damage to this nation and the world done by his Iran insanity is beyond anything else he has done. And it will get much, much worse.

Republicans are in denial. They continue to tell themselves it will end and everything will just "snap back" to some sort of tolerable trumpian business as usual.

But that will NEVER happen as long as DT is in the White House. There is no out with him in power.

He IS the crisis.

The only way to end the crisis is if he leaves.

If enough of them wake up and see this reality we'll see an effort to push him out. A push to resign for "health reasons" or some face saving bullshit.

It is not outside the realm of possibility.

If that does come to pass, they'll find they left it too long. It's too late. Many Republican careers are over. The party can't "live down" this level of chaos and destruction. And they only have themselves to blame.

They pose in front of different flags too. pwb Saturday #1
