“The US is roughly speaking oil independent… on net, we export petroleum products.”

That’s why this is less an ‘America is poorer’ story than an ‘Americans reshuffle who wins’ story. Drivers lose. Oil industry wins.

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

As if what's left of Iran will be allowed to control what's left of the oil infrastructure.

“We're going to blow the hell out of these people. Cuba will be next.”

- Lindsay Graham

Def the words of a peacemaker looking to uplift the Iranian people and not a warmongering douchenozzle with delusions of grandeur.

Lindsey wants his friends in Israel to stop bombing oil depots.

When are we going to get the results of the Pentagon investigating itself on whether they bombed a girls school while using AI?

Another day of interest on the tariffs Trump collected and refuses to give back. American consumers paid the tariffs, American taxpayers pay the interest on Trump holding onto the money as long as possible. Every day the bill goes up.

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?

I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.

Nobody knows for certain how Trump’s War on Iran will play out or end.

The only thing we know for certain is that Trump will declare victory no matter what happens.

And today he is out golfing:

Fox showed footage of Biden looking at his watch 10 million times for months, but airs old footage of Trump rather than show him wearing a campaign hat he’s currently selling for $55 at the dignified transfer.

Trump on January 22, 2020 when the CDC confirmed the first US covid case: “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine.”

While Trump bravely persevered through another round of golf despite bone spurs.

Of course this is all a grift for Trump to make money and was never about celebrating America. www.notus.org/donald-trump...

The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

On behalf of Democratic candidates everywhere in 2026, I hereby request maximum TV appearances over the next several months from Lindsey Graham to discuss foreign policy, and even more from Stephen Miller to talk about his domestic policy agenda.

That was also true in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen says black, oil-contaminated rain is falling over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities by U.S./Israeli airstrikes.

It must be so so so so bad for the Rupert Murdoch owned WSJ to run this

Don’t threaten me with a good time

This seems bad

Golden Age!
