Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, August 10, 2026

In a major setback to efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and cool Middle East tensions, Iran ruled out any future negotiations with United States (US) President Donald Trump, according to Iranian outlets and a X post by an adviser to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Headlines note that Tehran will wait until the US President's term ends on January 20, 2029, to resume talks. "Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," Majid Shakeri, adviser to Ghalibaf, said

And Pope Leo XIV won't return to the US until Dummkopf Trumpf is rightly ousted from power on 20 Jan 2029.

The world's first American pontiff may be a Chicago White Sox or Bears fan and he'll miss their games if they advance to the play-offs.

Maybe Leo XIV will visit Mexico, Canada, Belize, or the Bahamas to tweek his note at the morbidly obese orange sh#t-gibbon who has defiled all common decency.

Marry, Dummkopf Trumpf is the booger-eating kid running around with a stick that has doggie doo at the end of it.

"Run!"

Thanks for bankrupting the US economy, Bibi, AIPAC, and Miriam!

And we have the BBB and austerity measures: "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

"Iran ruled out any future negotiations with United States (US) President Donald Trump"

I have to agree. There's no point.

We're going to inherent this problem. We better have a pretty good plan that doesn't involve giving Iran what they want and overturning UNCLOS.

Does not matter- Trump has already surrendered to Israel. MAGAts have no problem with that. Hopefully the next POTUS will break the pedophile surrender-monkey chain.

Just a fwiw reminder

Today Israel demolished 40 Palestinian businesses in the West Bank without any cause or compensation whatsoever

The criminality of the Israelis is incredible

It was a trap and Trump walked into it with his eyes closed shut.

Lol. America surrendering? That funny stuff. We have met the enemy and it is us. No surrender necessary. We will collapse from within and get sick and die behind our impenetrable walls.

Also. I draw the line at having to learn to speak Farsi.

Trump can't negotiate in good faith.

Kushner has zero ability to negotiate.

Israel isn't looking to negotiate.

Your boy Trump shouldn't have started a war at Netanyahu's behest.

And us having new leadership for 4, maybe 8, years means we're now negotiating in good faith?
Our changing leadership doesn't change their strategic advantages.
Somebody should really make a plan of sorts, with some backup plans for when it doesn't work.

Trump worked overtime to overturn the maritime world order as we know it, and failed.. right up until he bombed Iran the second time. Now we get to successfully undo that without negotiating it into an Iranian toll road.

Now we get to successfully ...

Successfully?

Hilarious.

You really love the taste of Trump's boot.

It means when there's a negotiation in place, Trump won't be there to scuttle it in order to personally financially benefit.

That depends on the attitude of newly elected leader does it not?

The supposed "pipeline" I've been reading about to divert oil past the strait is the only strategy I've read that may work. If they can get it built by tomorrow, that would be great.

As for the actual strait itself. It's been working just fine my entire life.

Seems like Trump killing a bunch of Iranians because Netanyahu told him to caused the problem.

TDS is an actual thing.

It's the delusional belief that, despite all evidence to the contrary, Trump is a great president.

Right, but if I'm looking at somebody that got their arm bit off by the crock and say, damn, we're going to have to figure out how to reattach that thing... and the first thing somebody responds with is "CROC LOVER!" that person has Croc Derangement Syndrome.

Re 27

Did that same CROC bite off the arms of a million Americans and immigrants and then irrationally bomb/bite Venezuelan fishermen and Iranian leaders and their school children and then demand they surrender to him?

It's not "derangement" if your fears are fully justified by previous actions of said Croc.

It didn't for 75 years.

Until Trump ended the post-war global hegemony and sctuttled the six nations framework that blunted Iranian strategic advantages.
