Thank you for the most concise, understandable account I've seen yet of just what Hawaii did to defang Citizens United in the Aloha State. It was elegantly clear. Here's hoping other states following Hawaii's blazed trail are successful also.
is it an attempt if the guy with the gun never sees Trump at all? (And in a country with rational gun laws, the guy would never have got his hands on his gun in the first place.)
"What appears to actually be on the table is a memorandum of understanding, not a treaty, not a deal, not a surrender, not a peace agreement, that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz in phase one, release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets..."
Right. Let's just call it pre-surrender. Trump spent years trashing the JCPOA as "weak" because it supposedly didn’t stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions hard enough, only to end up backing a framework where the “no nukes” part gets punted while billions are released upfront.
After all the EPIC FAILURE bombing, brinkmanship, carrier deployments, oil shocks, and existential threats, the grand achievement may end up being reopening the Strait of Hormuz to the exact status it had before Trump started blowing shit up.
And EVEN then, Iran will still have tacit control over the strait...
Operation Epic Idiocy will prove to be not only a colossal clusterfuck for the United States, not only rip up a fabric of strategic balances that took decades of careful calibration, but also will swiftly reorder a balance of power that will relegate the Trump Regime to the kids table.
We are seeing and now feeling the consequences of this kakistocratic nightmare.
Indeed, Trump has proven for all of America's adversaries, "the leader the world has been awaiting for centuries".

What security failure? A guy with a gun walks toward the White House and is stopped at the first security screen. Sounds more like a security success.
Just another excuse to justify the Bunker Ballroom
Fourth attempt, if you count the guy skulking in the bushes at Trump's Florida golf course.
Re Hawaii: Maika'i loa, Hawai'i! (Well done, Hawaii!)

Heard a rumour that there is some interest in making guns available on Amazon in the future.
And I thought the same thing, John ... the shots were not at Trump from what I understand.
