This is a joke, right...?

Any news about his much-coveted Nobel Peace Prize?

The phone isn't US-made, and never will be. Just another scam.

The most they'd be able to manage is "assembled in the USA".

Like his hats they will be made somewhere in south east asia.

Can they manage that? Even in Arkansas that would be considerably more expensive than assembly in China or whichever neighbor had a better tariff deal. More likely you'll hear some pivot to "Apple is good American firm that employs loads of Americans", as if the bullshit about manufacturing had never been said.

I'm sure someone in Dogshit OH could screw a completed PCB onto a completed screen assembly, push a couple of flat ribbons onto the PCB and clip the back on... then it'd count as "assembled in the USA"?

They wouldn't even feel they needed to do that. They'd just lie or change the subject because it's easier and pretend they'd never said what everyone heard them say.

Facebook now brimming with Septics.
Fapping themselves silly anticipating Tehran getting nuked.

Great effort here, though in fairness I think virtually every Republican still in elected office supported the Trump policy. One of the big bones of contention was that Iran got some of its own funds unfrozen, to use for humanitarian purposes.

Bit of a lesson here in how powerful (or not) the rest of us are without the US. Almost like there are arguments for Starmer's "sycophancy".

I thought MAGA isolationists loved Trump as he's the great deal maker who avoids foreign wars. So we're back to 'bomb the ragheads.'

A complete coincidence that it's a few days before:
1. International inspectors visiting Iran.
2. Domestic no-confidence motion on Bibi.

Both derailed.

I think you'll find he's not keen on the wars where the other guys fight back.
