You have to love Europe. They provide user manuals for your toilet.
This is monstrously fucked up and should be Streisand Effected to the greatest degree possible
This is an empty threat. He's not going to bomb the oil infrastructure unless he intends for the Iranians to bomb all the Arab's oil infrastructure, in which case Hormuz doesn't matter and no one exports oil for months to years. Then the Gulf Arabs all go bankrupt and have revolutions.
Can anyone explain how this is not a quid-pro-quo bribe?
Especially since US law demanded the transfer of TikTok’s US operations as the one way to avoid a ban.
Big donors to the president got the company as the govt forced the sale, and he gets $10 billion.
If not a bribe, why so bribe-shaped?
I blame Joe Biden
Taking off in 50+ mph wind gusts is not fun. 0/10 do not recommend
Nuclear deals negotiated by Obama: 1
Nuclear deals negotiated by Trump: 0
Art of the Deal guy isn't actually a very good negotiator is he?
If the world goes to shit, we need to remember one thing. We aren't each other's enemies. The enemy are those who did this to us.
Trump hires the smartest people, was apparently a gaslight too.
Trump is again proving how good he is for farmers.
I’d love Goldman or any other pushing price charts to go over the path of deescalation that leads to their timing changes.
But yes, Art of the Deal guy certainly had a well thought out plan.
It's been 68 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely
It's been 12 days since Trump started a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval
No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either
Wanted to resurface this thread because it's unfortunately seems likely to become relevant.
Imagine being this irrational...
Never forget who Trump appointed to be the head of our domestic anti-terrorism people.com/trump-admin-...
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement
Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
Joe, he would love to be surrounded by all those men.
He was getting impatient and couldn't wait for Cuba
Please put this quote in the history books.
“I think the war is very complete, pretty much." - Donald J Trump
Perhaps if the world didn't consistently elect a bunch of egotistical dickbags, we might have a shot at having a relatively peaceful existence
Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.
Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.
Where do we sign up?
And let’s be honest, we’re flexible on the “reopen the Strait of Hormuz” part.
You've got to be a special kind of stupid to support using your tax dollars to increase your gasoline prices...
Jake Lang, the white supremacist leader of this violent rally, was pardoned by Trump after participating in January 6th.
Imagine if Democrats had pardoned someone who then led a violent attack on Republican mayors?
It'd be 24-7 news. Our media institutions all bend the knee to the right-wing.
