I mean it's no 2005 season but houston ain't even dry, miami is probably never unflooding, we still haven't found the keys, puerto rico is a loving humanitarian disaster in the making, and now there's a hurricane eyeballing new orleans like a spring breaker who just realized they can't afford Cabo.

It's going to nail my favourite vacation spot, Cozumel too. They got hosed up real bad like 10 years ago when a hurricane sat outside the island for days. There are still some abandoned buildings there last time I was there (3 years ago?)

Might not be anybody fired, Donnie Dumbfuck's current carnival barker act is to talk about military people, say this is the calm before the storm, then "we'll see" in response to everyone saying "what the gently caress?" so he can have better ratings over the break.

The Navy fell to 280 under Bush due to Republican budget cuts and sequester and all that bullshit. Trump is going to take that W for supporting our troops and expanding american power and he has dick all to do with it. This is the point SecNav Mabus kept making. He did a good interview on Pod Save the World this week where he said the same things again, but with emphasis and more making GBS threads on Orange.

Packed the cabinet with cronies or friends of friends, both his Interior Secratary and AG went to prison for taking bribes, had at least one affair that went public and lost the White House china in a poker game. About the only successful thing he did was die in office.

Peetown Manning posted:Wtf is the difference between "not re-certifying" the Iran Deal and just getting rid of it completely? Punts it over to Congress, where they get to decided whether or not to reimpose the sanctions that were lifted under JPCOA. Tillerson, McMaster etc are apparently letting Trump have his way with the 'decertifying' bit but are working behind the scenes to get Congress to effectively preserve the deal by keeping the current sanctions status quo despite JPCOA going away. Bottom line is it all depends on Congress stepping in to be the adults in the room (  ), and the rest of the world ignoring Trump's circus shenanigans.

What in the flying gently caress? https://twitter.com/MikeDelMoro/status/916381519643586561 I've never heard of any kind of attorney/justice meeting like this happening, though it could be standard-ish. What isn't standard is that the U.S. District Court in DC is basically the court that oversees immediate issues in the DC area, including the White House and Congress. Donnie usually gets crazier whenever Russia poo poo comes up, so could be a factor in his latest War Reality Show nonsense.

How can there even be a chance of North Korea peacefully giving up it's nuclear weapons if the US reneges on the Iran deal? For all of Obama's foreign policy failures, the Iran Nuclear Deal really was the crowning foreign policy achievement, and it's a pretty good one. Iran gave up it's weapon's program and agreed to be put under the most intrusive weapons inspections regime in history. It's huge success, even though it's opponents try to use a lot of misleading statements and outright lies to cast it in a bad light. A little overview: The deal intentionally only covers Iran's nuclear weapons program. That's because there could have been no agreement otherwise, because either Iran, or Russia and China wouldn't have agreed to the deal/continue to place sanctions on Iran. For example, the deal initially should have included a ban on testing ballistic missiles, but Russia and China purposefully watered down the language of the deal, so that Iran is only "called on" not to test ballistic missiles. The Iranians can't violate the deal by continuing their missile tests, and that's by design. For that reason, Iranian activities in the Middle East, like supporting Assad, aren't violating the nuclear deal either. The sanctions regime only came into being because the Russians, Chinese and Europeans genuinely feared that Iran would get the bomb, other Iranian activities didn't convince them to place heavy sanctions on the Persians. And the sanctions regime would have collapsed if Iran agreed to limit it's nuclear program while the US insisted on including unrelated issues in the deal. And then there would have been no nuclear deal, and no limit on the Iranian weapons program. The fact that the deal has a sunset clause is also no problem as such. Treaties either have a withdrawal mechanism or a sunset clause, or both. NATO members are bound by the NATO treaties forever, unless they use the withdrawal mechanism and leave NATO. The USA and Russia are bound by arms reduction treaties, most (all?) of which have sunset clauses (like SORT would have run out on 31 December 2012, if it hadn't been superseded by New START). Iran can't withdraw from the Nuclear Deal, so the deal has a sunset clause. If everything works out alright, it will be renewed, perhaps after some revisions. But that's just a normal function of international treaties, not some evil way for Obama to grant Iran permission to develop nuclear weapons in 15 years or so. Iran has little trade with the USA, the EU sanctions especially were what brought them to the negotiation table. Without at least European and Chinese support, there's little the US can do to further hurt Iran economically. Of course, the US could sanction European and Chinese corporations and banks that do business with Iran, but that's very much a double edged sword. It would only compound the diplomatic problems that will be caused by breaking the Iran Nuclear Deal. There's no way that the other P5+1 powers would agree to renegotiate the deal, and there are some neocon demands that Iran simply cannot accept. Giving a known hostile power unlimited access to all your military installations to prove that there is no secret nuclear weapons program is an obvious non-starter. And negotiating with the USA as such is difficult to justify. In negotiations, both sides are supposed to get something. But what can the USA offer Iran in exchange for yet more restrictions on it? Relief from sanctions that Iran already paid for being abolished by joining the Nuclear Deal in the first place? Never mind that Trump has no chance to assemble the international coalition that supported Obama in creating the Nuclear Deal in the first place. This whole thing will be a huge foreign policy disaster, and it will definitely harm America's standing in the world and even reduce it's global power. And I suspect the only reason for this course of action is that Trump hates all things Obama and simply can't resist trashing Barack Obama's biggest foreign policy achievement.

From a geopolitical perspective they only need to look at the examples of Libya, Ukraine, and probably soon Iran to see what happens to countries who willingly give up their nuclear arsenal. Not that I'm saying North Korea is in the right, because quite frankly gently caress them. But if you are looking at it from the regime perspective, giving up your one deterrent to invasion when the U.S. can elect a moron like Trump who will tear up any "deal" you might have previously made is suicide.
