I've closely followed oil markets and prices since Rita and Katrina.
Whenever analysts or insiders say a price, they give the market permission to go there.
Unless something changes fast, we are screwed.
Let's assume this is true, and there are Iranian sleeper cells in the US. It would be a shocking failure of DHS, FBI and NSA, all of which are firmly in Tronald's tiny, repulsive hands.
In trying to fend off this softball, Zinke spins himself into the ground and almost sparks a natsec crisis.
And then Fanatics thugs whisked him into a dark hallway, took the ball and put it up for auction starting at eleventy-billion dollars.
Kudo got a promo code for 15% off his next purchase, expiring tonight
The only silver lining to this epoch in American history is that the Republican Party literally and figuratively pulled its own pants down for everyone to see how thoroughly morally bankrupt and nihilistic they are.
It's really sad that it's likely going to shatter the country in the process.
Wait, why is the Secretary of the Interior doing diplomatic relations?
Yay nothing matters
Receipts is fantastic, BTW. Another quality offering from The Bulwark.
“Voters may be mad, but there will also be winners from rising oil prices, of course - including producers outside the United States. Vladimir Putin, for instance, can use the windfall to help pay for his war in Ukraine.”
From yesterday’s Receipts and @crampell.bsky.social: I hadn’t considered this, but let’s imagine for a moment that Putin didn’t exactly discourage action in Iran precisely for a windfall to keep running his own sPeCiAl MiLiTaRy OpErAtIoN.
That feels a little *too* on the nose, doesn’t it?
Schrödinger’s dump.
Best of all, she can’t get pardoned. Tronald’s only recourse right now is a whole heap of Fifth Amendment from all his stooges and goons.
This means Noem's up for perjury, right?
...right???
anybody used the melting face gif from raiders of the lost ark for kristi noem yet?
The same people who have been claiming an imminent return of Christ are lining up behind the idea that Iran has been an imminent threat to America for almost 50 years.
My first steps away from a belief in the rapture were rooted in recognizing what the word ‘imminent’ means.
Language matters.
Leadership.

All the more reason to destabilize the country, or something
The Trump effect on the markets, a steep sell-off serving as a rebuke to the syphilitic nutjob whose reign of terror could be remedied with just a handful of Republicans pulling their heads from their rectums.
pretty sure @slangsonsports.bsky.social would call this a WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Ron Johnson in a distant third, distracted by some seaweed that washed on shore
If anything, this is a reflection of Tronald’s worldview: removing the head of state is to remove the state.

While everyone has focused on symptoms of dementia, I believe this is far more likely.
Somebody gets to poop. Somebody needs to poop.
I wouldn’t call myself a “radical liberal,” but it’s not exactly hard to express contempt for a justly contemptible person. Contemptibility is not exactly a partisan issue.

You know what’s worse than war? Unconstitutional war waged by a lawless man.
Indefensible in every way.
They voted to send our sons and daughters to die as “losers” and “suckers.”
