Sanctions

And you probably missed this, even on Labor Day weekend, Sunday to be precise, the Trump administration filed a request with the Supreme Court to let its restrictive mail-in ballot rules take effect.

Jonathan Lemire from The Atlantic has an article called "The Real Reason Trump Wants Economic Sanctions in Iran." The real reason Trump wants economic sanctions in Iran, and yes, Jonathan has a specific midterms theory for that, which we w- he will share with us in just a second.

Here's a clue to what that is.

Trump telling a reporter on Friday that he doesn't even call it a war.

The article, your most recent article, unless you dropped another one in the last hour and a half or so, is called "The Real Reason Trump Wants Economic Sanctions in Iran." Okay, Jonathan, please reveal what you think that real reason is.

Well, first let's talk about the stated reason, which is to bring Iran to, to the negotiating table in a real way.
