11. Ordinarily, I like the First Amendment
But this administration and its mouthpieces should be absolutely forbidden to use the phrase "the American people" in any sentence that implies they know or give a tin shit about what the American people think, say, believe, do, know, or anything else. Punishment should be an electrical jolt to the nads, swiftly administered by me.

8. Q. so what's the WH doing about iran breaking the seals on their
nukes?

A. looking at it, serious concern about the regime's behavior, given iran's history of hiding stuff from int'l community concerns are well founded. we're in close contact with european countries, gonna' report stuff to the security council--sending a clear message to iran to abide by non-prolif agreements, serious matter, iaee general is concerned, russia is concerned

14. Right -- Iran has isolated itself, SO, we're not talking to them.
We're only talking to the Europeans, to "send a message." :eyes:

12. Q. so what can you do about iran?
A. refer it to the security council. there's a growing community that's concerned. not going to speculate what would happen at the security council

Q. the US doesn't have much leverage with Iran

A. well the int'l community is coming together, iran is out of step with its people, need to come back to the table to negotiate
