There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

In case you didn’t know, the new β€˜bravery’ is cheering on an eighty year-old, six-time Vietnam draft dodger who is using other people’s money to drop explosives on school children from bombers 40,000 feet in the air.

Anyone opposed to this kind of heroism is a β€˜sucker’, β€˜loser’, and β€˜coward’ now.

Your life savings are being torched by a war started by President Bone Spurs to cover up the Epstein Files, but he and his kids have grifted literally billions of dollars, and the U.S fossil fuel industry is going to make out like bandits selling oil at $150 a barrel, so it’s all good. Right?

Remember, when push comes to shove, the Right and their billionaire-owned media megaphones hate democracy.

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader at more than double recent market rates.

We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

The deranged attacks on Miliband have nothing to do with North Sea oil & gas, which peaked in 1999.

It’s about keeping Britain hooked on fossil fuels.

Even with new licences, North Sea output will fall by 95% from 2026 to 2050.

Only renewables can deliver British energy sovereignty.

These are the psychopaths the British right think Keir Starmer should be slavishly following.

If you genuinely believe we should be committing British soldiers and taxpayers to people who think flattening schools full of innocent children is a joke, you’re no British β€˜patriot’.

This is what British minimum wage workers are now paying taxes to defend - the assets of foreign millionaires and billionaires in one of the world’s most notorious tax havens.

When councils can’t even afford to clean the streets at home.

Grotesque.

Trump didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she handed a $200 million personal marketing contract to her β€˜friends’ - he’s the most corrupt U.S President in history - but because:

1/ She didn’t have the brains to properly lie about it.

&

2/ She was telegraphing her intention to go for the Presidency.

My dad retired after paying income tax for 53 years.

He was discharged from hospital two days ago due to a lack of beds, despite being gravely ill.

Yet, we’re now paying for the defence of Middle Eastern dictatorships and Dubai tax-exiles’ flights back to Britain.

Grotesque.

After calling the U.S. State Department hotline with questions about how to get home from Dubai, a Texas resident said that the agent told her to β€œstop ranting and raving” and hung up. She's one of the thousands of travelers stranded by fighting in the Middle East. nyti.ms/3OP63tn

Four days ago, Donald Trump claimed this latest Epstein File distraction technique would β€˜take four weeks; maybe less’.

It’s like living in Orwell’s 1984.

The right keep claiming Starmer is a β€˜coward’ for not slavishly following America into another war.

Have these people forgotten the 1 million dead Iraqis and 638 British soldiers already?

True β€˜courage’ is refusing to put Trump and a bunch of dictators before your own people.

You gave your kids a smartphone and invited the kind of people you’d never want them to associate with in real life straight into their bedroom.

But I was the β€˜extremist’ for advocating internet use regulation for children?

Exclusive: Ukraine's F-16 jets were starved of US-made missiles for weeks Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets didn't have enough missiles to shoot down Russian drones and missiles for more than three weeks after supplies from Kyiv's partners dried up just as Moscow was preparing a massive winter air campaign, three sources said.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
