Oil way up.
Dow, NASDAQ, S & P all way down.
I guess MAGA just has a different definition of “winning.”

There will definitely be boots on the ground.
Or not.
There clearly was an imminent threat of an Iranian attack.
Or there wasn't.
The war is basically over.
Or it's just getting started.
And it's not a war. Or it is.
Glad that's all sorted out.
The war is complete
The war is just getting started
It could be both
It's about regime change
It's about dismantling the nuclear program
It's about an imminent attack
Or all three. Or none of the three.
Glad the brain trust has thought this through
No imminent threat
No congressional approval
No international alliance
No clear strategic objectives
No foreseeable endgame
No actionable intelligence
Just a hunch from the president's son in-la
Is this really how the world's superpower now conducts its foreign policy?
Trump wanted regime change to a ruler more amenable to America
The new, hardline Supreme Leader of Iran just...
Lost his father in the attack
Lost his mother in the attack
Lost his wife in the attack
Lost his son in the attack
Bet he can't want to work with the U.S.A.
Oil is over $100 a barrel
1500 people are dead
7 deceased American service people
175 deceased Iranian schoolgirls
Replaced a hardline, anti-American Ayatollah
With a more hardline, more anti-American Ayatollah
Way to go, MAGA!
Mission accomplished?
I’m not sure I’d trust a son in-law with bringing pies to Thanksgiving. Imagine that being the reason we started a war with Iran.
Trump and Hegseth are classic American tough guys— talking like warriors, while sitting safely 6000 miles away, shooting bombs at a girls elementary school.
Right now, Trump’s only attacks that are having any success are the ones he’s waging on Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner.
At least those have a clear objective.
For decades, U.S. administrations have resisted the calls to wage war on Iran.
But suddenly, a Fox talking head, a Bronx real estate developer, a racist game show host, and a son in-law know better than all previous American presidents.
MAGA stands for America First
Except when it comes to the lives of its own servicemen and women.
No clear strategy. No endgame in sight.
But hey, it’s only global stability, the world economy, and the lives of millions at stake based on a Trump “feeling.”
Trump dodged the draft 5 times citing imaginary bone spurs.
Now he’s taking delight in sending American kids to go & die in his war of choice.
The chicken hawk leader, who never served, getting to play warrior with your childrens’ lives.
It’s sadly a tale as old as time.
She's like the Mr. October of idiotic remarks.
MAGA voters: “I picked Trump because he’s a clear, decisive leader. “
Trump: “I don’t know. I guess we went to war because my son in-law said Iran might attack us.”
Candidate Trump: “I’m going to lower costs at home and not send your children to die in foreign wars abroad.”
President Trump: “Or the opposite of that.”
I got bad advice from my son in-law.
Really? That’s the excuse?
We’re talking about provoking an endless war with Iran, not an investment on a new rental property in Clearwater.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Cheeto Hitler thinks that all it takes to win is to simply declare victory.
It's not true in elections.
And it's not true in war.
He's going to pull the same old stunts in his Iran folly.
We must hold him and his party to account.
Just a quick rewrite of Trump’s ‘24 campaign speech:
“If you want higher oil prices, more expensive food, a depleted 401k, and your kids dead in Iran and Minneapolis, I’m your guy.”
Narrator: "While in reality, inflation is rising, incomes are plummeting, and the economy is stagnant. But sadly, none of these facts seemed to matter to the President of the United States."
I'm not a Middle East historian. But replacing one hardline Ayatollah with another hardline Ayatollah, then screaming "we won," doesn't mean we won.
