LEAVE SYDNEY OUT OF THIS: Is Trump’s Iran Deal Sydney Sweeney-Gorgeous — or More Like Your Great Aunt Agnes’ Neighbor’s Daughter?

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I’m not super excited or concerned with the Iran agreement because my expectation is that Iran will violate it and we’ll bomb them again. It’s an iterative process…

FROM NATHAN C. BRINDLE: I’m the Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules A Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone!: Volume 4.

Imperial Princess Regnant Alice and her fiancé, Crown Prince Daniel of Xeros, and the plucky crew of the Imperial Space Yacht Aurora, with the assistance of the Goddess Eireala, have traveled tens of millions of light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy to mend a rift in space.

Once that’s fixed, they’ll head home – and Alice and Daniel will finally be wed!

But nothing ever goes according to plan . . . not even an Imperial wedding.

You’re all invited to the nuptials, regardless . . .

GO AWAY, BARACK, YOU’RE A PAIN.

@barackobama opining on the preference for diplomacy over military action is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard all day.

DIVIDED BRITAIN:

From Peachy Keenan: “One of the darkest aspects of this is that these girls came from the lower classes, the north, the working class, the industrial towns and cities. Their grandparents and ancestors were coal miners, factory workers, soldiers, servants to the upper classes. To show their thanks to generations of loyal Brits who did backbreaking toil for their country and the crown, their daughters were given as sex slaves to foreign invaders. A genocide of native people. The crimes of the complicit modern UK government put it up there with Ceausescu’s Romania and Pol Pot.”

And the reply: “We have class issues in this country, though we deny it, but nothing like the deep loathing that the UK middle classes (not the upper classes) have for the working class. We are talking about the university credentialed class (used to be a lot smaller). A whole class of educators, officers, medical, engineers, managers. One life example, I recall on Youtube, an interview with a working-class electrician. In the engineering firm that we worked at managment/engineering never addressed him by his name, not his first name nor his last name (Mr. Raines, for example) but simply as ‘Sparks’. ‘Hey Sparks, take a look at this….’. He’s an electricians, so ‘Sparks’, get it. The intent was to alienate, even dehumanize, and it’s still there working today. Deep, deep, deep loathing. A loathing that was as deep as American racism at it’s worst.”

OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

HAPPY WARRIOR: The Wildest Moments from Vance Visiting The View. 

During the interview, [Ana] Navarro was a near-constant problem for moderator Whoopi Goldberg.

As they were approaching a commercial break and Vance was wrapping up a response to a question from Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin about race (because of course it was), Navarro tried to squeeze in a question about Michelle Obama. This caused Goldberg to clap her hands vigorously and scream to God to get Navarro shut up:

VANCE: I’m telling you, we celebrate black history. We celebrate all American history in this administration. You guys might be skeptical of this, but I promise you it’s true.

NAVARRO: Can I ask you about a specific piece of black history?

GOLDBERG: He’s gotta – I gotta –

NAVARRO: Do you think the attack on Michelle Obama –

GOLDBERG: I have to go to break! [Claps her hands] ANA, GOD PLEASE!

NAVARRO: – should have been condemned by the White House?

GOLDBERG: We have more with Vice President J.D. Vance when we come back.

“Don’t do that!” Goldberg scolded Navarro, in possibly a hot mic moment.

GEORGIA: Rep. Mike Collins wins GOP runoff in Georgia Senate race. “Rep. Mike Collins has won the Republican Senate runoff in Georgia, NBC News projects, setting up a race against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in one of the most competitive and important campaigns in the country. Collins’ primary victory over former college football coach Derek Dooley is also a win for President Donald Trump, who endorsed the two-term congressman just a few days before Tuesday’s runoff election.”

WELL, WE’VE CERTAINLY GOTTEN USED TO STRUGGLING ALONG WITHOUT A LOT OF IT: Humanity isn’t ready for the coming intelligence explosion.

GOOD. Alleged DC National Guard shooter could face death penalty with new charges. “Lakanwal — an Afghan national — is accused of killing Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe in an ambush-style shooting several blocks from the White House last November. He was also charged with attempting to kill two other unnamed service members who subdued him at the scene of the attack.”
