Advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf says Trump’s ceasefire extension “makes no sense,” calling it an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack and claiming Iran “currently holds the initiative” as tensions escalate.
"He's tricking you! You're getting conned just like the MAGA people got conned. He's a very talented con man, but he's a con man."

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

And yet, here we are 😢
