Of course Jared was for it. He’s going to direct the reconstruction funds.

Literally no one is defending this deal except those who weren’t going to care about the terms anyway.

Continued pressure at low risk actually has a great chance of improving the outcome.

The Deal, if reports are accurate, is a complete surrender by Trump.
It violates 1000 things he has said in last few months. Most importantly, it doesn’t even address the nuclear issue. We are giving them money and withdrawing our forces at great cost for just the promise of future negotiations where our leverage will be nil.
Edit: But he will declare victory, so his fans will love it.

I was curious so I asked Gemini.
The short answer is no, the U.S. Flag Code does not prohibit you from wearing everyday clothing that features stars and stripes or flag-like patterns.
There is a big difference between wearing an apparel design inspired by the flag and wearing an actual flag as an article of clothing.
Here is exactly how the Flag Code breaks it down:
What the Flag Code Actually Says
The confusion usually comes from Section 8(d) of the U.S. Flag Code, which states:
"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery."
However, the key word here is "the flag."
The American Legion (the organization that originally drafted the code) and constitutional experts clarify that "the flag" refers to an actual, physical flag made of fabric meant for a flagpole.
The No-No: Taking an actual American flag off a pole, cutting a hole in the middle, and wearing it like a poncho.
The Green Light: Buying a t-shirt, swim trunk, or socks that a manufacturer printed with a stars-and-stripes pattern.
As long as the clothing is made out of clothing material and designed as apparel from the start, you are perfectly fine.

What are you basing this on? It looks to me like he’s desperate to surrender so he can declare victory.

I’m reading that the Israelis have been told that none of that will be dealt with in a way that is satisfying to them (or me).
I’m hearing complete surrender by Trump. Uranium left in Iran. Nothing on missiles or proxies.
Disgraceful

It doesn’t. Your tax basis is increased to the value at death.
You just contradicted yourself and showed I’m right.
Property with a massive tax liability are suddenly free and clear when you die.
This has nothing to do with estate taxes.

They mainly do it to avoid inheritance taxes for their heirs.
Everyone whose parents own securities at death will benefit from the new basis rule, but frankly it violates my sense of fair play.
Why should the value of your estate go up just because you die?

Screw Obama. My point is that the technology shift over the last dozen years was almost unprecedented.
An operation against Iran went from impossible to easy. And still Trump is fricking it up
