According to Semafor: "Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker, Republican, argued that the deal’s $300 billion reconstruction fund for Tehran 'would make Iran’s payoff under Pres. Obama’s 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison."'

"We haven't seen it but we'll agree to it"...WTF??

I think the only thing we can do is end the war, but I mean, Iran gets everything they want out of this — sanctions relief, implicit control of the Strait of Hormuz, no commitments on nuclear program,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) told NOTUS. “It’s a disaster, but it’s probably a necessary disaster.”
The rollout of the so-far secret deal has not impressed many in the legislative branch. “If it was so great, wouldn’t the president have printed it on gold leaf paper and sent it out to all of us?” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada) said. But Democrats seem ready to sign on the dotted line if Trump asks them.
What they’re not willing to do is continue to back Trump’s calls for increased defense spending. NOTUS’ Joe Gould reports on how the bipartisan coalition that has generally supported an ever-increasing Pentagon budget is fracturing. Last week, more Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee voted against the National Defense Authorization Act than voted for it. Last year’s NDAA was passed out of the committee 26-1"

Barack Obama accurately wrote about Trump's #IranDeal: “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place."

Scott MacFarlane: "Donald Trump's fingerprints are all over a new Justice Department's court filing defending the Trump #Ballroom. It has random capitalization, it claims that Trump is providing America an 'invaluable gift,' and it claims the project is 'underbudget' despite a Senate request for $1 billion in taxpayer money."

That isn't fair. The #IranWar also killed many innocent people, weakened the reputation and the international alliances of the United States, and enriched Russia.

It looks like the winners of Trump's unnecessary #IranWar will be Iran and China.
"China is watching how fast America burns through its high-end missiles, from Tomahawks to Patriot air defenses. Every missile being used in Iran is a missile that can’t be used to deter in the Indo-Pacific."

The #IranWar "is revealing American military and strategic vulnerabilities — and offering important lessons to its biggest rival. China is watching as the U.S. fails to cut through an Iranian blockade and expends heavy firepower, the Trump administration struggles to extricate itself from an unpopular war, global gas prices soar":

#IranWar Update from Tom Nichols: "The president of the United States does not know what he's doing. He's an unstable person and the people below him are incredibly incompetent. His negotiating team is his son-in-law and a real estate developer. The Secretary of State is somewhere. The Director of National Intelligence is virtually invisible."
