What are the implications of MAGA Mike shutting down Congress?
Maga Mike and Republicans in Congress are refusing to show up and do their job. They've shut down Congress as there continues to be a partial shutdown of the federal government while this purported ceasefire, which is really a market manipulation scheme by Donald Trump, is essentially fully collapsing from Iran. Their leaders, their lead negotiators are not even showing up to Islamabad in Pakistan to meet with J.D. Vance and the United States delegation until the U.S. agrees to negotiate within the 10-point Iranian framework that Donald Trump previously stated publicly that he would be agreeable to and that that would be the basis of any negotiated settlement discussions. And so Iran's not even showing.
So what's MAGA Mike doing? they're posting messages right now from the house gallery that says the following the house of representatives has adjourned until 12 pm tuesday april 14 2026 for morning hour the house then meets 2 p.m for legislative business i mean it must be nice do they even work at all Or they just continue to take vacations and continue to allow Donald Trump to engage in these unlawful wars and frankly, war crimes, these disastrous foreign war crimes.
How is Trump's Iran deal perceived as a market manipulation scheme?
We have Donald Trump privately telling his cabinet and telling people in the White House that he truly doubts the Strait of Hormuz will ever fully reopen soon and he's getting very very worried despite him publicly saying that oil will flow again quickly and the strait of hormuz is open donald trump is privately confiding that he thinks that iran is never going to give up control you have all of the arab nations in the middle east that were once allied with the united states they're seeing what's going on and they're saying if this is what's going to happen and the u.s is going to let iran continue to just control the strait of her moves and donald trump has given up america's security umbrella which formed the basis of all of our quid pro quo uh pay for play payments to donald trump then we might have to just engage in our own military intervention and there may be just an entire middle east war that could break out very soon and then donald trump while all this is going on while maga mike has abandoned congress trump's just calling up the new york post and saying things like this
You're dealing with people in Iran that we don't know whether or not they tell the truth. To our face, they're getting rid of all nuclear weapons. And then they go out to the press and say, no, we'd like to enrich. Donald, in Iran's 10-point plan, it literally says, enrich uranium is permitted. That you agreed to and you posted you agreed to their 10-point plan. You also gave them control over the Strait of Hormuz. You also said they could charge $2 million. You also said... that the United States would remove all military bases in the Middle East. You also said Iran can keep all ballistic missiles, Shahid drones, and FPV drones. You also said you would pay Iran war reparations. That was their 10-point plan that you agreed to.
And we all saw what it was when you did it. You can try to lie, but you agreed to this plan. Donald Trump then said, we're loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made. If we don't have a deal, we will be using them and we will be using them very effectively. Well, Iran's negotiating team says, okay, keep on talking like that. We're just not going to show up. We control the Strait of Hormuz. We hold the cards, Donald, and we will not be going to Islamabad at all. To which Donald Trump then posts, the Iranians don't seem to realize they have no cards other than a short-term extortion of the world by using international waterways. The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate.
Donald J. Trump. You know, and it's language like that, Donald, that hasn't really done too well for you in the past because you bankrupted all your damn companies or most of them and in this war. So that's how you're behaving right now. And meanwhile, Pakistan's defense minister, Qawwa Asif, just reposted the following message.
