All the billionaires who are responsible for getting him elected should have to pay back the U.S. treasury for every law suit, every repair, every spike in oil prices, and pain and suffering - they can afford it. They should also have to restore all the agencies to secure effective service.

He knew. The Marines told him what it was in 2009. He could have decided to cover it up to get back into active duty service, but he didn’t.

Oil prices fall after Energy Secretary claims U.S. Navy escort of tanker in since-deleted post on X The International Energy Agency will hold an extraodrinary meeting on Tuesday to discuss a possible release of emergency stockpiles.

We've got the U.S. government just outright lying about escorting an oil tanker through Hormuz but the market responding positively anyway.

When this all hits, it's gonna hit so much harder because we're totally unprepared.

Summing up Iran news today, I think.

- US/Israel strikes continue
- Iran doesn't want talks, still firing on neighbors
- US asked Israel to stop hitting Iranian energy infra
- US claimed to be escorting tankers
- oops no it isn't
- Mines in the water
- ~80-90% of Iran mine laying capacity intact

Counterpoint: the poor understand how money works. Their understanding of money is indeed exquisite compared to the famished comprehension of those who spend their time slandering the poor.

Theory: β€œThe suspicion is that whatever Putin has on Trump is very, very bad. Epstein-related, maybe. It has to be something serious, because it’s not as if Trump is the kind of guy who just turns and grovels in the presence of any old brute.”

But I think is that kind of guy.

I think the Democrats need to take this claim more seriously. Right now, it’s criticism of Trump β€” that he doesn’t know why he attacked Iran. But seriously, it was probably because Netanyahu made it seem like he didn’t have a choice and anyway a war president would look good on TV.

Dick Blumenthal says he is concerned about Russia *and China* aiding the enemy. Meanwhile, Trump says Putin wants to be helpful. This is not theoretical. Lives depend on Trump being loyalty to the US.

It was about a year or so ago we were told we should silently concede them the right to illegally rendition people to overseas torture camps in the name of addressing immigration. That was the *savvy* political play we were told.
