Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

President Donald Trump told CNBC in an interview on Tuesday that he did not want to extend a ceasefire with Iran, adding the US was in a strong negotiating position and would end up with what he called a great deal.

“I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time,” Trump said when asked about the possibility of extending the ceasefire.

Trump also said that the US was in a strong negotiating position with Iran and would end up with a “great deal”.

He said there is not “much time” to reach a deal, adding that Tehran can get themselves on “a very good footing” if they settle on one with Washington.

“I expect to be bombing ‘cause that would be a better attitude,” the president later told CNBC.

Funnily enough, I just got news that they are prolonging it. This is such a joke. The US is speedrunning the loss of all leftover credibility. Superpower my ass

I guess too many Republicans haven't yet figured out what the rest of us know, which is that the Donvict is a terrible negotiator. The TACO effect is real.

Well, it's so much easier to be a great negotiator when you are a bully.

[–] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You hit on it. He mistakes bullying with negotiating. He's an idiot.

[–] yuknowhokat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Not idiot, just asshole.

Dude really wants to use nukes. Apparently he had to be stopped from doing so recently
