i think they thought nato would surely be drawn in one way or the other, squeezed as they are for oil & gas already -- yet despite a few missiles & drones hitting their bases, they've remained resolutely opposed.
the parallels with the suez canal crisis are funny -- we left britain and france in the lurch then, in the interest of keeping egypt from stepping fully into the soviet sphere. now we're in the lurch without them. where the parallel ends, or rather inverts, or whatever, is that this time we started shooting before asking them, and also, whereas, to be fair, britain did build the canal, it's not like we built hormuz.
oh, and not only did we start shooting before seeing if anyone was with us, one of the first things we did was blow up a hundred and sixty-five schoolchildren.
if iran did that to american kids...you can imagine what people would want to do.
so how are we going to atone for that, as a nation, once trump's gone?
i don't know.
but i solemnly swear that if i was in any position of authority, i would call for or direct the prosecution of mr hegseth, and i would seek the death penalty.
The discrepancy in gas prices from state to state and pump to pump is pure and simple corporate price gouging. Trump pave the way for more excuses for corporate mafia members two price go the shit out of everybody. They belong in a cage and doused with gasoline until the rest of them stop the price gouging.
Corporate people are not afraid of anything because they know they’re not gonna be held accountable. They will price gouge and lie about it because they own the media because the media is also corporate and the same corporate pieces of garbage that are on the board of directors for some media company like NBC or Fox are also on the Board of Directors of other Corporations. I’m just about every board of directors for a major corporation sit a couple of bankers. These are privileged bastards who think they’re safe and so far they have been safe from the wrath of the peasants. That needs to change.
Mid-terms are November -- 6 months, still a long time in political terms. I am betting by some unexplained miracle gas prices will tank before the elections.
If Dems can just hold steady and use cost of living, tariffs and ruination of trade and foreign relations they will do well.
Bet they cannot resist and will roll out the usual race and gender grief bandwagon to screw it up. Bettter to be right than win.
The problem is when it comes Trump supporters they don’t care that he’s evil, dangerous, perverted, incompetent, dishonest or depraved. These are cult members who Are evil, dangerous, perverted, ignorant, depraved and Stupid.
The ORANGE ASSHOLE wouldn't know affordability if it walked up to him and bit him in the BALLS! There is no way his nickname should be anywhere near R. AFFORDABILITY "!
Yeah, because we pay for the ORANGE ASSHOLE when we should be getting tax breaks,food programs and health care subsidies funded, but that moron in the White House could care less!
There are a lot of legal reasons to remove the orange menace. There were a lot of legal reasons for why he should’ve been locked up when he was a Slumlord in New York. The problem is, the United States is not a country of loss is a country of corporate criminals who circumvent the law and remain above the law.
If we were to ever be a country of laws injustice again the corporate billionaire criminal elite need to be taken into custody and probably by the people and locked up for the rest of their lives.
Good question, probably would since he served one term previously.
He would have to be criminally convicted and sent to jail. Impeachment is not a criminal conviction. However if impeachment were a recognized crime that impeached him , it would go to court and ultimately end up at the SC country club.
We will never see any justice. To the best of my knowledge he still has not settled/paid the EJ Carol suits nor the business records cases. Remember rich have a separate legal system from the rest of us.
This should serve as reminder that we need to get away from fossil fuels. Corporate media never mentions this or explains that we (the US government) give oil companies billions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies every year that could be invested in clean energy or used to fund public-works projects that would improve the lives and lower costs for Americans. It also could have prevented Trump's illegal war, improved the health of all people on Earth, and lessened and/or slowed the destruction of our planet.
High gas prices lead to higher prices for almost everything else. Although this is serious, it’s nothing compared to all the crimes, corruption, cover-ups, treason, and other disasters that Deranged Don is dumping on the United States.
No matter how this I’ll-conceived war comes out, Trump and corporate will prosper because of the price gouging that’s already going on when it comes to fuel and all the other things Trump and the billionaire class will line their pockets once again.
Trump knew that there would be a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz before this even if his advisors didn’t tell him. The Iranians told him that’s what they were gonna do. Trump is a screwup surrounded by dolts.
So hopefully he’ll TACO and truly “ leave it to everyone else
Are there any adults paying any attention in the regime? At least finally Kent decided they were idiots….

Gas prices in Tucson 3/17/26: Walmart $3.85 and Circle K $4.19. What are you paying, and where are you?
WA state $4.50 in rural. Port Orchard, closer to Seattle $5.25 and diesel is $6.50. Price of paradise.

Okay, but need to fill up my tank before festivities begin.

Birds of a feather, flock together.
Best definition of friends. People who hate the same people.
Holy mackerel.
It’s currently $4.89 at the Seattle Costco, and that is up $0.20 from Tuesday.
Almost 4.00 in the cheapest gas station I found in Massachusetts. Most places are higher and have been increasing weekly.
The ORANGE ASSHOLE wouldn't know affordability if it walked up to him and bit him in the BALLS! There is no way his nickname should be anywhere near R. AFFORDABILITY "!
Come on, it does not cost him anything to fill up his limousine.
Yeah, because we pay for the ORANGE ASSHOLE when we should be getting tax breaks,food programs and health care subsidies funded, but that moron in the White House could care less!
And to think we are going to pay him $250k per year for life when he finally retires. Hopefully not that many years.
And maybe we can get him out before it’s mandated by the end of this term- dickhead

If he’s removed from office does he get that pension? Especially since he and his family have ALREADY made billions off his presidency???????
Good question, probably would since he served one term previously.
He would have to be criminally convicted and sent to jail. Impeachment is not a criminal conviction. However if impeachment were a recognized crime that impeached him , it would go to court and ultimately end up at the SC country club.
We will never see any justice. To the best of my knowledge he still has not settled/paid the EJ Carol suits nor the business records cases. Remember rich have a separate legal system from the rest of us.
But he would get for a pension wouldn’t keep one of his whores in makeup.
I don’t think the moronic orange demon will live long enough to retire.
All the filthy rich people are like that. These are vulgar privileged turds.
Today’s price for a gallon of diesel in my country (The Netherlands) is $13,00!
Operation Epstein Fury is another in a long line of trumpian disasters that will continue to hurt the world for many months to come.

Portland Oregon: $455/reg. Diesel is higher which is what shipping trucks use…
