This isn’t the “Persian Gulf oil squeeze.”

It is the “Donald Trump and Republican Party oil squeeze.”

Get it straight.

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

Still waiting to see if there's a time when the views Murdoch airs in WSJ affect the coverage he oversees on Fox.

Bc Murdoch could change public opinion pretty quickly...

Trump to Times of Israel: It’ll be a ‘mutual’ decision with Netanyahu regarding when Iran war ends US president clarifies he'll make final call to end operation 'at right time'; says in phone interview that he and PM ‘worked together' against Islamic Republic: 'We’ve destroyed a country that would ...

Because it's America first, Trump says he'll only make war decisions he and Netanyahu can agree on. www.timesofisrael.com/trump-to-tim...

So much for regime change?

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

Well, there you have it.

“Twelve sacrifices already this week. … Thank Goran it’s Friday!”

“Twelve sacrifices already this week. … Thank Goran it’s Friday!”

President Trump, in a phone intvw late Sat w/ @CBSNews , dismissed threats from Iran's top nat-sec official, Ali Larijani, who says Trump must "pay the price" for the strikes. "I have no idea what he's talking about, who he is. I couldn't care less. I couldn't care less," Trump said. "He's already been defeated."

"He intended to take over the Middle East and he's conceded and surrendered to all of those countries because of me," Trump told CBS News on Saturday night, when asked about Larijani. "He's already surrendered to all of the Middle Eastern countries because he was trying to take over the entire Middle East. That's why all of those rockets were long ago aimed at those countries. He had that planned, long before this started."

Just imagining the headlines if Joe Biden said he didn't know the de facto the leader of the country he just went to war with.

These interviews show Trump has super tenuous grasp on what's happening in Iran. Who's really running things? Hegseth? Rubio? Cat Turd?

I seriously doubt he's thinking strategically like this, BUT the fact that he won't *sign* any other bills doesn't mean no other bills could become law. As long as Congress is in session, he can just sit on the bill for 10 days (Sundays excepted) and then it becomes law, just as if he had signed it.

Trump gonna skateboard into Dover wearing a mankini. Solumnly.

I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything that comes out of the White House comms division. But it still seems noteworthy that the highest elected office in the nation is bullhorning QAnon slogans as part of its war propaganda.

Curtis Yarvin • @curtis_yarvin • 3h X This is nothing new. Vietnam obviously was also a civil war by proxy. The normal state of the Anglo-American regime is a cold civil war, which often goes hot in the periphery.

My feeling is that these toxic powers, maybe even North Korea with which communism's old school tie has fully been lost (no one in DC is shipping NK pallets of cash) would either surrender, or lose their toxicity, if the toxic relationship with Washington could be fully disrupted 2123 1 57K只企 Curtis Yarvin • @curtis_yarvin 3h • ...

It gets better. Vietnam reflects the same dynamic as the American Revolution. I think it’s very possible that the human once known as Curtis Yarvin has just been replaced by a first gen chat bot that just spits out mad libs in the style of Mencius Moldbug

Curtis Yarvin * @curtis_yarvin X.com The Iranian Revolution was a diplomatic crime of the American left. The Islamic Republic, like its proxy Hamas, is a client power of the American left. Trump is only bombing Tehran because he can't bomb Brooklyn Kyle Orton @ @KyleWOrton • 20h The Shah's dream was to bring Iran up to a level with European States: the economic policies were in place, many social reforms done, and the political piece—an elected government with a constitutional Monarchy—was set for late 1979.

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever

Yes me too, I watched it three times to see if I missed it but Leavitt was responding to the ground troops question and didn't realise how her comments would be interpreted.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

Line keeps going up.

I am fighting like hell for the State of Georgia.

Before donating to long shots, this campaign MUST be funded.

This Republican Congress isn’t passing by anything worth signing anyway.

Yet more Republican failure.

Some of us caught earlier promises

Trump is going to really piss of his bonesaw buddy at the rate he's going.

This seems more like incompetence than policy. She answered the second half of the question about boots on the ground and not the predicate part about the draft because she’s sloppy.
