WHAT A LOUSY BIRTHDAY AMERICA IS HAVING

To: Rep. Pfluger, Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz

From: A verified voter in Mason, TX

June 16

The President gave himself a fantasy gift on his BD. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” A bit later…”This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace. With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” The current fool-proof deal is lacking dets, but so far it seems nothing more than a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a 60-day ceasefire for continued negotiations. Not a final agreement. Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be “permanently toll-free.” Iranian officials say they will regulate the strait along with Oman. Trump is trying to cover over the release of $24B in frozen Iranian assets by saying “no money will exchange hands.” But VP Vance told CBS that in addition to that $24B, Iran will also have access to $300B in funds for reconstruction. Discussion of Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be put off for later. Or as national security scholar Tom Nichols noted, even without the details, “it is clear that Trump has failed to achieve every one of the goals he put forward for this war of choice, and now he is determined to sign, seal, and deliver America’s capitulation as quickly as possible.” Iran’s government is intact and now under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Strait of Hormuz is under Iran’s control. Iran has significant drone and missile stocks. Iran can continue to sponsor terrorism. Oodles of money will flow to Iran. And Iran may be battered, but they will leave the conflict stronger than before. Meanwhile Trump pulled us out an actual nuclear agreement that was working. He’s made America weaker not just in appearance but in reality, with important stocks of weapons depleted. With we the people paying the price for the war at the gas pump. Let the blame game begin… Trump should go back to what he does best. Defiling America and its values while making money off of doing so. Turns out the sweaty man-fight on the WH lawn wasn’t solely for the glory of America’s big BD. The UFC issued a press release saying that the cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial, which was revealed to be an official sponsor of the event, would be the “Presenting Partner of a new $250,000 Performance of the Night bonus pool.” WLF is the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company. By connecting WLF directly to the WH, UFC is giving cash directly to WLF. WLF turns around and gives its crypto to the fighters. And WLF then invests the cash in US Treasury bonds and keeps the interest. “F— the speech,” fighter Josh Hokit said into the mic after he both won his bout and then presented Trump with some sort of necklace. “Shout out to Trump for having the balls to put s— like this on. And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” Nice. Trump gets richer and some more bling. We the people get a brand new green algae pool, a tore up WH lawn, a mud pit for the East Wing, a new tarp installation over the Kennedy Center, and half-assed vanity projects as far as the eye can see. And the world hates us. Happy birthday to us.
