I really appreciate the level of snark in this review.

But it’s the weather that poses the biggest threat. Specifically, shouts Force of Nature, it’s the “MONSTER STORMS” that rumble ominously across the prairies, each of which forces you and your family to scurry into your burrow, whereupon you will stand with your trembling backs to the wall, legs wide apart and fluffy britches a-flap, like anxious viscounts in the court of Charles II. Will you survive? Or will you be eviscerated by the “cluster bombs of tornadoes” that churn with increasing frequency through the midwest?

Cheetahs, alas, don’t have umbrellas. Plus, they are terrible at cricket. And so they just stand there looking drenched and miserable, like sulky teens at a bus stop. But the flood waters continue to rise, and so the brothers are forced to cross a roiling river to reach lunch (antelopes). It’s a poignant sight, the swimming-averse cats bobbing and lurching through the water like chickens through wallpaper paste.

In his only other briefing with ODNI last week, Pulte asked staff if he could bring the President’s Daily Brief to his house, raising alarm bells among intelligence officials, according to one of the sources.

Trump has been angrily asserting all week—and this morning in particular—that there’s no $300B in the MOU, but the text is pretty unambiguous. “…while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.”

WSJ analysis
Iran’s main obligation under the deal, lifting its chokehold on the strait.
6. The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.

WSJ analysis
A new twist on the economic benefits Iran could expect if it delivers on U.S. demands on the nuclear front. Trump says there will be no U.S. funding for this effort.

So someone leaked the MOU to CNN and now he’s flipping out? It’s his deal! He’s been touting it since Sunday! Also, everyone knows Trump will never go back. Everyone knows this threat is empty.

Trump says U.S. will ‘go right back to dropping bombs’ if he doesn’t like Iran deal

Chris Berez@chrisberez· Jun 16

I swear to god you people are just making up names of nonexistent celebrities to fuck with me. That’s the only way my brain can interpret this.

Chris Berez@chrisberez· Jun 12

So… the MOU is basically the same thing Trump has been trying to get for weeks, which is just an agreement to continue talking? And LOL at “potentially leads’ to,” which is effectively completely meaningless. Oh, so *maybe* it *might* eventually do a thing? Wow, that’s some top notch negotiating’!

The senior US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says the agreement accomplishes five things for the US.

“First, it reopens the straits and lifts the (US) blockade (of Iranian ports),” the official says.

“Number two, it leads to the dismantling of the Iranian nuclear program,” the US official continues, hinting that the MOU itself does not force Iran to dismantle the program; rather it potentially “leads” to that result. This is because the deal merely extends the ceasefire between the sides by 60 days during which they will hold technical discussions regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

“Number three, it leads to the United States getting the enriched material. We provide in the agreement that this material would be destroyed on site, and then taken out of the country,” he says, appearing to stop short of saying that the MOU requires Iran to give up its stockpiles of highly-enriched uranium up front. This issue, too, is expected to be subject to the subsequent nuclear talks during the ceasefire extension.

“Number four, it guarantees a long-term peace in the region, and that would mean that the Iranians are no longer funding violence in the region, but it also means that everyone is respecting the territorial sovereignty of Iran,” the US official says.oo

This is insane! THERE ‘S NO DEAL! He just made it up like always! It’s quite literally verifiable that he’s lying!

Chris Berez@chrisberez· Jun 11

And as expected no one knows what he is talking about.

The WSJ didn’t say why the helicopter crashed (although it looks like article has been updated to say the military is investigating) but according to Trump himself, Iran shot it down. So that makes it two jets and an Apache that have been taken down by the air defenses we “totally decimated,” yeah?

You know that South Park where Stan friends the unpopular kid on Facebook, and then the unpopular kid just takes his laptop with the Facebook profile everywhere with him? That’s these people with Grok. They cling to it like it’s an organ they need to live. It’s freaking creepy.

I’m sure ad placement is just random and this is probably a coincidence, but what an ad to have show up in the middle of an article about Trump’s failure to secure an Iran deal.

10 days ago they said “Within hours.”

An internet meme featuring a fluffy grey British Shorthair cat sitting on a patterned grey fabric surface. The cat has round, amber eyes and an open mouth, creating a cheerful or speaking expression. Bold white text with black outlines at the bottom of the image reads, "I CAN HAZ IRAN DEAL?", playing on classic LOLcat meme format.

Tie between these two, both criminally underrated.
