Members of Trump’s own party have lined up to condemn the deal, which pledges to help fund Iran and scrap sanctions
Republicans have turned on Donald Trump over his plan to end the war with Iran, accusing him of making the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades”.
The U.S. released the 14-point interim agreement on Wednesday as Trump signed the documents in Versailles, France. The terms included stopping the conflict and reopening the vital shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, but also financing Iran’s recovery with a $300bn fund and scrapping sanctions.
“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” said Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy on Wednesday, referring to the former president Trump admires.

I think a lot of these people might be incredibly stupid at some things [1] and incredibly crafty and cunning at manipulation and scheming.

For one of the most extreme examples of this acting like a dumbshit act, see ol’ Foghorn Leghorn himself, Senator John Kennedy, is a Rhodes Scholar, who has a motherfuckin’ degree from Oxford. From his public persona, you’d probably never know this, since he sounds like a blend of Foghorn Leghorn and Hee Haw in his ridiculous folksy persona. For someone that now feigns to be so confused about things like gender, he sure has had quite the transition himself…
I always admired the way George W. Bush could be a Yale graduate with a vast fortune and a simple cowboy at the same time.
100%. I was going to bring him up, too, but my post was getting overly long as-is. 😀
I think some blogger had put up earlier W being quite sharp in some debate he had then contrasted that with some derpy thing he was saying during one of his two terms.
They were not necessarily politicians, but you’d see the same kind of thing (I think some people called it “redneck drag”) in the Duck Dynasty guys. There were plenty of people pointing out that these guys all looks like typical upper-class types, then at some point before the show, were sporting mountain man beards and plenty of camo.
