I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

Me a year ago: "Musk may be a happy hatchet man thinking he is reshaping the government. But for Trump he is a useful tool to help allow Trump to restaff it."

WaPo today: "A year after Elon Musk and his DOGE allies purged 100k's of federal employees, the Trump administration is ramping up hiring."

Amazing how much damage one malignant narcissist can cause.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

They must know some people. 🤡

Whew a vertical line 😳

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

oof

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

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

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

This is disgusting. Risking lives for their own selfish greed. I despise those people so much...and the feeling is growing.

WTF?! Is he talking about targeting civilians?!

WSJ: “A WSJ investigation tracked U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive government campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.”

The Trump regime is cracking down on dissent. As authoritarians do.

Civil rights group documents 70 "modern-day lynchings" across 7 states "The moment a case is ruled a suicide, it's no longer investigated as a potential homicide," JULIAN founder says.

70 modern-day lynchings.

70.

Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.

An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda

The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.

Renee Good was shot in the head, autopsy commissioned by her family finds Renee Good was shot three times and grazed a fourth time during the Jan. 7 encounter with an ICE officer, according to findings released by her family's attorneys.

1/The failure to investigate Renee Good’s death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....

hitting desalination plants, and then the oil fields, triggering oil-contaminated rain. i hope iran's fresh water supply holds out but this feels intentional.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

#MadmanTrump is still gleefully kissing Putin's arse while Putin tells Iran where to target our military. Republicans are watching the devastation and death and doing nothing. And Zelenskyy is between a rock and a hard place in all of this. Ugh.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
