Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.
Trump is killing the global economy, pulling everyone into a recession. Prices for daily necessities are skyrocketing, and still Trump has 40% approval rating in the US? Like do those fckng idiots like paying more for everyday stuff? What the fck is wrong with them.
Team sports mentality. Trump is “their guy” and however he royally screws up “at least he’s not a Democrat”
Also, a lot of folks said point blank voting for Trump is being a sucker and a fool, and to go against Trump is to admit they got fooled.
Yesterday in an interview I heard the MAGA person was hard core that whatever the government is doing, they secretly have reasons they can’t tell us because spilling the Intel would be so dangerous. Pretty much the same crowd whining about a liberal government keeping secrets from them now celebrates secrets being managed by the conservatives.
The alternative would have been a woman of color and damned if they ever suggest that could have been a better outcome.
Additionally, the racists do still have the Hispanics getting screwed over and afraid. The people who got injured and killed were “obnoxious liberals” that are better gone anyway.
Of course this is also as close as they have seen in decades of federal policies trying to make it harder for poor people and women to vote.
There’s a lot of vile sentiment and being close to that being followed is worth having problems.
What the fuck is wrong with most Americans as I we are seeing more real action from Canadians while Americans mostly complain online and may go to a protest once in a while if at all, plus and protests are ineffective as team Trump only hear/feel money. You got to hit MAGA where it counts and target boycott their business like the Canadians. If Americans did the same, we would be hearing about all the MAGA businesses going bankrupt. I am very disappointed with Americans and shocked they are so passive.
Born to be free… Free to do fuck all
Unlimited freedom like the US style “unlimited” holiday… subject to manager approval… and scrutiny if you’re seen to take too much… also not being a team player who is the first to get fired when there are layoffs…
Team dementia Don the postmodern pedophile narcissist crashing out again.
Not that I speak on behalf of Iran but how about this:
We open up the strait of HORMUS if:
- You release the full and unredacted Epstein files
- Leave the whitehouse forever.
- Learn to keep your stupid trap shut.
- Do something to make it up to Iran, anything. Mr “art of the deal”. Pathetic.
Jail and/or foreverbox time already ffs.
the reality check is this: Donald Trump has never been more unpopular in his second term in office
The actual reality check is this: he still hasn’t reached the lows he reached during his first term. His approval rating remains above 40%
Is this asshole seriously still whining about the Nobel Peace Prize? Didn’t the winner of the prize eventually just give the prize to him?
Tried to. Nobel committee said its non transferable. He might have the shiny medal but on the books it’s still hers.
This is getting bigger by the day.
Fuel shortages in SE Asia. This affects many industries the US gets products from.
China has suspended mineral shipments to the US and restricted fertilizer exports.
Russia is all but openly aiding Iran and likely instigating some of the actions.
Panic buying is happening in South America.
Diesel is over $10/gallon in some places.
Gas prices are hitting record highs in some places in the US.
And these effects are “rubber band” effects. They lag behind the actual impetus driving them.
This is going to get worse. A lot worse. These events are red flags. And if nation groups start taking sides over the conflict we are going to possibly see a far greater war and massive privation globally.
Isn’t the US a net exporter of oil? Why does this cause US gas prices to go up?
Adding to the other comments that point out opportunity to sell overseas is too tempting.
Also despite being a net exporter, some places are likely to import.
In the southeast, prices have gone up, but not as much as the West Coast. So much logistics to feed the pipelines that would be so tricky to get into ships, that is not worth doing it. So places where boats play a large role in oil logistics, well those places are subject to global market conditions more.
Because oil and gas are both globally marketed.
And one reason US prices for gasoline are higher is because the US is a net exporter. If all US production stayed in the US, prices would be lower.
Because of profits.
To put it more explicitly: If a US oil producer can sell a barrel to Indonesia for $150 a barrel, why would they sell it to California for $100?
You answered your own question.
We export the oil. The oil is bid on via a global market. That market sets the price of oil.
The companies selling oil and gas from the US sources have no loyalty to the US, they’re going to make money however it suits them.
There’s different types of oil, that take different types of machinery to process, basically the oil from the US has to be exported to other refineries, because they don’t have the infrastructure to be able to use (or process) their own raw product.
Because of market rules. Supply has shot down but demand hasnt.
Had to double check that this wasn’t an onion article. I’m not even surprised that it’s not.
Trump has no Plan B.
Either the rape he planned goes as expected, or he ends up here, impotently raging at the rest of the world.
Trump has no plan A either. Not even the concept of a plan A. The decision to invade Iran was a combination of his lack of self control from dementia, and being surrounded by yes-men.
Why oh why didn’t his mommy take Plan B…
(I know it wasn’t invented yet, lemme have my fun!)
Why didn’t his father use condoms?
Coat hangers were a thing back then or not?
He just does whatever the last person he saw tells him to do. He has NO plan at all. Just to listen to whatever the last person he saw tells him to do.
The yes-men thing might be the other way around. There have definitely been lots of can’t-keep-their-hands-to-themselves fascists in Washington that have wanted to invade Iran since long before his presidency.
Oh he’s totally being manipulated like a puppet by Stephen Miller and others, who will be planting ideas and then congratulating Donny for thinking it up, but what I was getting at was that nobody in his cabinet will be trying to reign him in or even moderate his impulses. It will all be yes sir, what a great idea sir, I wish I was as smart as you, sir.
Did he plan the protests and the murders of protestors too?
The rape victim has once again bitten his little mushroom and now he doesn’t know what to do.
so THIS is the art of the deal? 🤭
Congress is letting this shit head do this and the people who voted them in think it’s great.
The dumbest people on the planet are in charge.
And you can see it online with people saying “what does no kings mean? America doesn’t have a king”
It does when congress does nothing and the joke of a court rubber stamps everything.
Yet they just cant see it. Damn that is a level of stupid that exceeds anything ever seen before.
America is now an idiocracy.
Y’know what, I say we let him have this one. Let him plaster his name all over this giant horrible pointless mess. He owns it. The Strait of Trump. Fuck it.
The man is so damned insane I cannot understand how they continually put up with him when all the gears of government would roll a million times smoother without that nuthatch in the drivers seat
Because the powers behind this want to buy everything and create feudal city states they rule
The “news” media will ignore Dear Leader’s obvious illnesses, and give us the latest Kardashian news.
