2008: Fragile economy. Oil surges past $100/barrel. System spirals.
2026: Trump starts a war with Iran. Strait of Hormuz closes. Oil headed toward $100/barrel.
Doesnβt take a finance whiz to predict the next major financial crisis.

I oversaw counterterrorism at DHS for two years in the first Trump administration.
Iβve never seen DHS less prepared to defend the U.S. against a terrorist attack.
And Trump took us to war five days ago β with a country that is hellbent on retaliating.
This is such a classic dictator trope β forcing subordinates to copy your style β that I thought it couldnβt possibly be real. Think Mao Zedong and the βMao Suit,β or Saddam Hussein and βThe Mustache", or Joseph Stalin and the βGeneralissimoβ outfit.
NEWS β Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
βEverybodyβs afraid not to wear them,β a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trumpβs wishes.
Weβre officially in the dumbest timeline.
Wow.
Sen Murphy just now: Trump team briefed Capitol Hill that destroying Iranβs nuclear program is NOT one of their objectives.
So why ARE we at war? What the F are we doing there? Is Trump sick? Senile? Psychotic?
Really β what the hell is going on?
βThe American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.β
I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.
But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.
Repost if you agree #BlueCrew
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

We are witnessing the military version of Trumpβs COVID response. Spoiler: it could end badly.

Was this whole thing as unhinged as the 2 parts Iβve seen so far?
The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

NBCβs Richard Engel: βThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commandersβ¦ they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think itβs a joke and put out material like this.β
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
I had to drive today (thankfully in our EV), and seeing gas at $5 - $6/gallon, all I can think of is that Donald fuckin' Trump simply wanted to bomb people. That's literally it - he just wants to bully the world. And our system is so pathetically incapable of reigning in an obviously insane person.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.
This is true. But they arenβt the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.
π€·πΌ
Trump and Republicans: Sorry, no money for your grandmaβs healthcare and let's drive gas prices through the roof. Also Trump and Republicans: Letβs spend billions blowing up the Middle East. They can always find money for war, just never for you.
Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
And the damage is already done even if it gets overturned in the future
But donβt lose sight that weβre getting a new ballroom at the White House!
Take your hat off, you disgusting little man.

Oh f no
What?
Just throwing anything at the wall at this point
