As an early WSJ piece found, Binance fired internal investigators who identified Iranian accounts using the company to violate US sanctions
www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Trump pardoned founder of Binance - indicted and pled guilty in 2023 of illegally helping finance terrorists and drug cartels via its crypto network.
Unsurprisingly, Binance has been helping Iran evade financial sanctions and buy the weapons needed to kill US soldiers

Current Dem leaders are the stupidest idiots
Why not tax the hell out of the billionaires getting wealthy off the war and send everyone a check
So these idiots are committing the US to a holy war on Iran, demanding they abandon not just current leaders but the religious and constitutional basis of their whole country.
Combine that with confirmation of key details from one of the child rape accusations of Trump released in the Epstein files
www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
Sometimes the explanation for launching the stupidest war in history is as simple as covering up the most brazen murders and child rape by a President in history.
Trump is managing to make sure that he owns ever bit of the popping of the global stock market bubble.
Just the stupidest political move in history launching the stupidest war in history.

War on Iran may go like his ICE deportation policy. Starting with low public support, even some of those who initially supported it on the rhetoric of "get the bad guys" will realize we are murdering innocents in far larger numbers than any bad guys.
This is pure state terrorism, bombing civilian targets to decimate a nation.
Trump is right. This is not war since there are "stupid rules of engagement" in war, to quote the Secretary of non-War.
This is just pure evil mass murder and destruction.
He's on tape saying he sees sex as power where women have to "let you do it"
A jury found he raped E. Jean Carroll
He was best friends with Epstein
Multiple underage girls have accused him of raping them
And yet media - and even many DC Dems -don't treat him like the pedophile rapist that he is.
But this isn't a proxy war against another superpower. Russia is going through the motions of helping Iran, an ally, but Putin and Russia are still buddy-buddy, as shown by Trump reducing sanctions on Russian oil.
Except it's anything but a war against Russia; despite Russia help to Iran, Russia is the big winner, seeing oil prices rise to fund its own war on Ukraine and the US reducing sanctions on it.
Only resonance with Cold War is Trump as the Manchurian candidate.
Just pathetic nepo-baby with no experience appealing to worst NIMBY politics to get traction to run for Congress. Idiot.
Imagine a Dem President who'd been making public overtures to Russia, then having it revealed Russia was handing intelligence to an enemy to murder US soldiers?
FoxNews would have calls for impeachment on blast 24/7

Obama laying out the broad impact of Jesse Jackson's political runs for President on the Democratic Party and Obama's personal debt to Jesse for laying the groundwork so a black candidate would be taken seriously by 2008.
Just this on blast as Dem political messaging
It's just a microsm of forty years of job growth under Democratic Presidents and stagnation and recession under Republicans. Need to really cement this fact in the public mind for not just the midterms but long-term political messaging.
What Saudis and Gulf elites realized is EVERYTHING they'd been working for - a sense of normality, the idea that Middle East was a normal place to invest in and live in - has been literally blown up in last week.
And now scrambling to walk it back.

Just complete bastard move to use illegal war on Iran to justify helping fund Russia's war on Ukraine, even as Russia is helping Iran kill Americans.
Putin is helping kill Americans
And Trump just eased sanctions on Russia
Of course Trump is either being bribed or blackmailed by Putin.
Going into midterms under the banner of an accused child rapist conducting a wildly unpopular war, mass deportations denounced by most voters, all amidst rising unemployment and continuing inflation is quite the political choice for the GOP.
We will see how that plays out for the party.
Extraordinary release from the Epstein files
And extraordinary that it's not top story in every media outlet

Who cares what Rahm Emmanuel says - a guy who was too scared to run for reelection as Chicago mayor in 2019?
And contra this bull----, Dems have talked nonstop about union rights, health care, taxing wealthy & every pocketbook issue possible.
Just enemy propaganda.

Calling for Iraqi Kurds to help Iranian Kurds break up the country was almost guaranteed to undermine any internal opposition to the Iran regime.
That the Trump attacks happened within months of internal uprisings will now justify even more repression going forward.

Unsane NY Appeals court decision that it violates constitutional rights of landlords because law requires government inspections to maintain safe buildings
Poor tenants losing their rights is what you get when corporations get constitutional rights

Essentially banning suburban rental housing is just enhanced zoning to keep the poor out those communities.
Regulating predatory investments by big landlords is a good idea but bizarre to only worry about it in the suburbs.
The bizarre performative attention by the Trump administration to even verbal anti-semitism, while not investigating Bovino for killing black and brown immigrant detainees is a recipe for feeding real anti-semitism, the idea Jews get special treatment

Iran is officially the Republican Iran War, with almost every Democratic Senator demanding Congress be able to vote on any further action.
60% of Democrats voted against the Iraq War so two decades of endless wars are the GOP's responsibility

Oh good: it would be a bit Capone-like to send Noem to jail on a perjury charge over her sidepiece rather than for the murders and terror she has inflicted - but will still enjoy the perp walk.
So Noem does not deny she is having sex with her married subordinate.
Defense contractors getting big payback for their support of Trump - although not clear they can even produce enough missiles to keep up with the reckless mass murder Trump and Hegseth are promoting with indiscriminate bombing
