Tariffs...what to make of them.

well thankfully orange Mussolini has defeated Iran again....gas prices should be at $1.50 in no time

on that note....while generalissimo is talking about war crimes, we managed to blow up an Iranian wedding yesterday which killed 4 and injured 68.

Oh and Iran hit our bases in Jordan and Bahrain again....4 tankers yesterday, 2 more today that are now on fire

a new record low for the SPR....because so much oil is getting out now, we still need to take millions of barrels per week from our reserves.

Here's to Iran being "DEAD!"

This is approaching "the charge of the light brigade" levels of stupid.

The worst part right now is that this is only the tip of the iceberg. The biggest “at home” problem at the moment is the impending and unfolding crisis with the mid-term elections.

Between POTUS, SCOTUS, and USPS absolutely dismantling mail in voting, and states like Texas, Florida, and even swing states removing hundreds of polling stations and suspending millions of voter registrations, and the near certain tally manipulation through GOP owned voting machines and Elon’s access to all of your info from his DOGE record hacking… there is zero chance of a free and fair election to try and get us out of this flaming dumpster fire nightmare we currently exist in.

Oh, and don’t forget… even if by some miracle we have a blue tsunami that can overcome all the tampering and interference, we still have a decimated DOE, EPA, FDA, CDC, FEMA, USDA, FCC, and so much more AND a global economic, social, and political distrust and disdain that will not be overcome for generations.

Sorry. I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road last night. I absolutely love his work, but it may also make me a little “doom and gloom” afterwards.

I kept joking with my wife that I was super optimistic about the book and the characters’ future. In the end, it’s sad, but the book is actually somewhat positive and optimistic

I’m less optimistic for our future.

I've been avoiding re-watching that recently...learned the hard way from watching Contagion in April 2020 hyper relevant poignant movies are not great for the ole mental health.

Avoid anything by Kurt Vonnegut (my favorite author). Especially Mother Night, or God Bless You, Mr Rosewater, or Sirens of Titan.

Hey! I drive an F150! It's not us, it's those guys driving F250s.

I have to admit... the current diesel prices don't have me rushing to get the White Whale running again... 😒

Another 12 cents and it will break the record for national average... And at the rate it's been rising, should blow past that in another week

What do you think… he nukes Iran the week before/week of midterms? I wouldn’t rule it out.

Thinking about that myself.

In all seriousness......I dont see us using nukes...like as much at the orange turd would love it, its completely pointless. Unless something crazy happened, like the Iranians managed to hit one of our air craft carriers....something majorly visual like that.....Which of course is why they are WAYYYYYYYYYY out in the Arabian sea far far away from the Strait that we supposedly now own lol.

Anyone ever listen to Scott Jennings.....he's one of the administrations bootlicking lap dogs....this was him the other night on CNN

Scott Jennings: Trump Should Give ‘Formal Declaration of Victory’ in Iran​

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Arena,” network commentator Scott Jennings said President Donald Trump should issue a “formal declaration of victory” in the war with Iran.

Jennings said, “We’ve already won the war in Iran. I mean they’re a defeated country by any historical metric.”

He continued, “We’ve beaten these people. There’s going to continue to be some skirmishes. They haven’t exported a drop of oil since July. By any historical metric, we’ve beaten these people. We’re going to continue to beat them. The president needs to tell the American people exactly all the ways we won this war. ”

LOL, man...He's is like on all fours, begging to be the one who gets to replace MAGA Barbie.

I want to laugh at that... but that level of stupidity is practically crimminal.

I understand what you’re saying, and I agree that there is zero reason to drop a nuke… anywhere… probably ever.

BUT, I don’t think that actually matters here. I think the biggest issue is that Pedo-in-Chief wants to drop a nuke, he believes it will stop the midterms from happening, and then the biggest issue… who will actually stop him?
