Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Iran war drives oil price above $100 a barrel for first time since 2022

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

Whew a vertical line 😳

Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding “my god he is sick” to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a “60 Minutes” interview showing Hegseth speaking.

We got rid of Kristi. Let's get rid of Pete.

Oil Prices Surge Above $100 a Barrel for the First Time in Almost Four Years The jump was a sign of growing concern that the war in the Middle East will take a toll on energy supplies.

Breaking News: Oil prices surged above $100 a barrel for the first time in almost four years amid growing concerns about supplies as the war in the Middle East continues.

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

For nearly two decades, Trump has been lying about elections and threatening the democratic process. A small group of us has been sounding this alarm, but far too few people in positions of power have been willing to act. The result is that things have only gotten worse.

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

Everyone knows Donald Trump has been an election denier since 2020. Some know that about 2016. But few know that it started in 2012.

After Obama won, Trump posted: “Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”

Lunatic Lindsey not helping Trump’s cause

“My [ @mehdirhasan.bsky.social] crime? Daring to point out that Donald Trump’s claim to reporters that Iranians are not only “among the most evil people ever on Earth” but that they also “cut babies’ heads off” is flatly false.”

My response:

Trump asks why US can't use nukes: MSNBC Trump asked a foreign policy advisor why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough says, citing an unnamed source.

I already was aware of Trump's derangement well before this, but what confirmed it, was when it came out that one of his own foreign policy advisers, had to explain 3 times to Trump, why it wasn't okay, to just use nuclear weapons.

"The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump".

I entirely agree with Simon Tisdall, but what I'm baffled about is why it's taken so long for people to wake up to this, and still a large proportion haven't.

I recognized this in 2016,

interesting tactic while you're also looking for supplemental defense money

Isn’t it time to impeach & remove this dumb motherfu*ker?!

Trump ‘will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress — pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

NEW: Trump says he will not sign any other bills until Republicans pass the SAVE America Act — escalating his push to force the voter suppression measure through the Senate.

He also repeated demands to include a mail voting ban and anti-trans provisions.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.
