this also does not sound like we are anywhere close to reopening the strait lol

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Everything’s fine

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.

🚨

ok, i'll bite. what's oil

So we're nine days into the Iran War and so far we've managed to push the price of oil to $108 a barrel and replace the dangerous hardliner Supreme Leader Khamenei with the even more hardline...::checks notes:: ::double checks notes:: Supreme Leader Khamenei. Junior.

If the illegal war that Donald Trump personally started is sending oil up 65% in the first 9 days, then I just want both sides to keep having a good time.

posts u make when things r definitely going well

I honestly can’t think of a sentiment that the median voter would hate more.

One of this "shocked but not surprised moments"

Like, 'oil floats at $90 and Strait traffic mostly happens, but there's a permanent USN presence Prosperity Guardian style and the USA underwrites the insurance' is a stable outcome, perhaps even a likely outcome, but not a politically survivable outcome for the GOP.

as someone who does marine insurance I would point to the large gulf between “the USN forcing the strait” and “goods transiting the strait”

international women’s day

Americans when they see an Astronaut on the ballot:

They blew up the weather satellites because they showed climate change was real.

"They tried shooting the scientists developing vaccines."

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Prices are up 30 cents since this post and the nearby liquor store has taken down its decade-old Trump Wine display this shit is so monumentally over.

all I can say at this point is we're getting another chance to save our miserable democracy and we cannot waste it

Donald Trump: EcoWarrior I both can and can't believe he both found and pressed the "make everything expensive" button he can't undo

did you even say “thank you” to thanos

Over a year later and I think things are firmly out of hand

i think think this administration is unleashing things they don't understand and it will get out of hand

Oil prices are going parabolic. This is insane.

It would have been a comparative mercy for us and the world if, say, DOGE broke Social Security for several months instead of things lingering until Trump could start an Iran War.

We should never ever forget why they did it

A middle eastern energy crisis with stagflation, welcome back Carter

I go to bed and wake up to $90 Brent crude, this guy really is the fucking anti-Christ

Feels like he's finally completely disassociated from reality

trump is manipulating bls numbers to make himself look worse, gotta respect it

I have broken the oil trade that was in the gulf and which you were probably saving for industry Forgive me the clout was delicious so sweet and so cold

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

Heh

every time Trump tells the average supporter to open their mouth so he can spit in it, that's a W for us. The only way through is via endless humiliation. That's what being an American is now, a humiliated little piggy that squeals for more until it's too much. Prove me wrong!

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there. But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

I have an idea. Here’s my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

well Boston has never taken a stand over government regulation of caffeinated beverages before, so I imagine this will go down easy

The Middle East is in total chaos and we have no real rationale for why we are there or what we are trying to achieve

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

is it a good sign when the uniform response to a classified briefing is basically everyone immediately doing a vertical video about it in which they spend most of the time screaming that we’re all gonna die?

we're going to be rationing and we're going to be doing it very strongly. we're going to have lines, very nice lines, and we're going to ration the gas. I was talking to my people, I said they won't like that, do we have to do it? and they said we do. we have to do it. we have to ration the gas

there was no real reason for any of this
