Have a great day!
Welp taco Wednesday beats the alternatives I guess
I didn’t expect just give Iran everything it wants and call it a win tho….
…kinda tough to figure how solid the thing is when it seems like it says different things in different translations, too…seems like in farsi there’s a line about accepting enrichment that wasn’t in the english 10 point list…although…the ones that were?
…so…he seems demob happy & talking about “hanging around” in the region while it experiences a golden age…I dunno but that’s what the post this morning said…meanwhile except for “the markets” & their whole “we needed to hear that” approach to it’ll-buff-out on those futures…still seems like we get maybe 10% of traffic tops for the two weeks
…at the going rate?
…so…that’s…fun?
I doubt there’s a MAGA in this country that can read Farsi, so Trump is safe telling the gullible morons that he “won.”
and on top of that…
Who knew Iran had all this ordnance? Certainly not Hegseth and Trump. Too bad the orange moron fired everybody who might have told him.
Trump’s DOGE Cuts Slashed Staff That Handled Middle Eastern Oil and Gas Crises
…for extra fun…iran sold not just drones but the how-to for those to russia…who…maybe…might now be sending russian-built-iranian-designed ones their way since they have considerable production capacity for those these days
…&…vlad might be the only one as happy as bibi & the ben gvir types about this whole misadventure…his whole deal in ukraine is less unaffordable than it was looking a few weeks back…not to mention team oblivious dipshit still thinks it’s reasonable to ask ukraine to give away the defensible ground around donbas that russia has been failing to acquire all this time
…I swear it’s like he plays for every team *but* the fucking US…& hegseth still thinks the historic thing they did wasn’t the how-embarrassing-for-you thing?
It’s like the post I keep seeing. “If Trump was trying to destroy the United States on both the world stage and domestically, what would he do differently?”
It’s not over. Somebody will be dumb or malicious enough to tell Trump that he got utterly beaten, and he’s going to go apeshit trying to wreak vengeance. It’s just going to take time to penetrate his decaying brain.
So, to sum up: EVERYBODY is much worse off than six weeks ago, except Iran.
That’s pretty much the textbook definition of “winning.”
Correction: The children and civilians we murdered in Iran, and their families, aren’t better off. I shouldn’t be glib about what this country did to them.
and russia…everything benefits russia.
It should have benefited Russia, except thanks to continued Ukrainian drone strikes and a serious lack of petrochemical refinery engineers plus the occasional seizure of Russian shadow fleet tankers has put Russia in a situation they helped create (with Krasnov) but can not take advantage of it.
Weird how Iran’s social media game is vastly superior to anything the Republicans can come up with.
My loathing of MAGAts, the Fascist losers, the Incel fuckwits, the oblivous, the Tech Brahs, Epstein Party, the other billionaires and RW nutbags and the Trump Admin has grown exponentially.
Good for Iran for staying strong. Feels like some sort of lesson to be learned there, eh Democrats?
And a big win for Oman, which was just sitting there minding its own business, and now is getting a hefty cut from the strait tolls.
Also a lesson for news media, higher education, law firms, museums, and anybody else who cravenly crawled to lick this scumbag’s Florsheims.
As near as I can tell, almost every single person or entity who has stood up to Trump has beaten him.
NO RO KHANNA NO NOT LIKE FUCKING THIS YOU MORON
Where is he wrong? Corporate Dems did shit!
We can still have good news? Who knew?
