David Olson — Age of Uncertainty

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

It’s coming on Iran.

Trump and Bibi are attempting to create a failed state of 93 million people. This is a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe. I weep for the future.

Drains across the Iranian capital Tehran are continuing to explode after earlier Israeli and US strikes on oil depots and infrastructure.

Medical experts are warning the toxic smoke and runoff has increased the risk of deadly illnesses, including cancer.

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Little Marco is of the same ilk. He arose with the tea party. Most of all he is a hardline anti-socialist as if he’s frozen in the Cold War. Never mind that he is fine with Trump’s state/crony capitalism that increasingly seems more like China’s corrupt state sponsored capitalism.

In 2024, Donald Trump campaigned on two big promises: (1) he'd bring down gas prices; and (2) he'd not start any new wars.

In 2026, Donald Trump will cause gas prices to spike astronomically by starting a new war.

He's smart—and trustworthy—like that.

If you support the troops, you will be against sending them to die in the sand of Iran.

Applicable to the entire Republican party, for the past 50 years.

💯

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

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

TRUMP IS ESSENTIALLY PAYING THE RUSSIANS TO TELL IRAN WHERE OUR TROOPS ARE:

Trump waived part of the Russian oil embargo. So Iran’s ally Russia can sell MORE oil to get more $ and spend it to gather more  info on where American assets are

The US's Pete Hegseth is a thoughtless child, an excited juvenile playing 'Call to Duty'. His ugly 'they're toast' boast needs starker imagery. The bodies are jam, half masticated sausages, bacon burnt beyond recognition. Imagery as sickening as he & what's happening.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.

Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic

“Over, under, sideways, down”

Line keeps going up.

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

This is the beginning of the new, greater fear over oil and gas than losing Hormuz. That fear is this war will lead to a lasting, potentially permanent reduction in capacity which will persist for years to come. It is also, sadly, a very likely scenario.

Tariffs paid twice, thanks Trump. #econsky

Truckers’ diesel pain, consumers pay. #econsky

From BBC:

It is not his celebration, it is OUR celebration. I cannot wait to powerwash his name off of everything. Except, hopefully, the prison rolls.

“.. all featuring the president’s name as a centerpiece of the highly-anticipated festivities.” 🤡

Mumps is back, but vaccines can prevent it Maryland is one of several states that are reporting cases of the infectious disease mumps, suggesting the return of diseases—like measles—that vaccines protect against

We counted 1500 measles cases as of the end of last month. Guess who else is starting to rear its ugly head- Mumps.

It has been detected in ~34 people across 11 states.

Symptoms show up a few weeks after exposure in the form of fever, heads & swollen salivary glands.
