Too little, too late [View all]

tRump is panicked that his ill-advised war in Iran will cost him the midterms despite all the gerrymandering, voter suppression etc. Iran knows it, so he's dealing from the weakest position possible.

But guess what. Even if he gives Iran everything they want (which he probably will, loser that he is) it's too late. Five months might be long enough for some things, but not to turn around gas prices sufficiently by November. P.S. What about grocery prices? Lack of tourism which is further decimating the economy? Loss of Hispanic vote due to ICE and saber-rattling against Cuba? Etc etc etc...

But, hey... I welcome our new Iranian overlords. Gawd this reality timeline sucks.
