My friends have hit the road so looks like a day of bed-rotting for Meg!

I feel like one of you called this:

Trump claims U.S. will close Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks collapse
https://www.npr.org/2026/04/12/nx-s1-5782538/u-s-iran-peace-talks-islamabad-collapse

Trump: "Effective immediately, the US Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz…Additionally & at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' & our Military will finish up little that is left of Iran!"

  1. …genuinely impressed that he manages to continue to somehow reach depths of stupidity that seem surprising even now?

    We’ve gone from “I don’t care if they reopen the Strait” to “we’ll destroy your civilization if you don’t reopen the strait” to “well if THEY don’t reopen the strait then WE are going to blockade it ourselves.”What an extraordinarily embarrassing moment for this country.

    We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Declinescreenshot of article citing Trump declaring blockade of Hormuz strait and interdiction of any vessel that paid a toll to Iran for passage

    …someone seemed to think he got the idea from here

    This article inspired Trump's headscratcher of a strategy of opening the Strait of Hormuz by closing it. The question is who has time on their side — the U.S. or Iran? If oil prices skyrocket and the market collapses, my guess is Trump folds like a card table.justthenews.com/government/s…

    …but…the part about restoring freedom of navigation via the medium of piracy was what I might have said was too stupid even for him?

    …if you paid any tariff that wasn’t imposed by him it’s open season for US naval interdiction…&…it’s not meant to be a fucking joke…I swear that somehow managed to come off my “surely not even he…” pile

  2. …but…this level of piss take is always right along to push the last idiocy off the headline?

    they like him and want to help him. They send out a push alert not for the actual story "the president is losing his fucking mind" but one repeating Trump's false criticism of the Pope as if they are reasonable.

    …I mean…FF-actual-S…you can’t leave this kind of insanity in post for another 2.75ish years…there’ll be fucking crusades or some shit & a new schism that claims hegseth is a cardinal or something

    Average GOP Congressman: We err…uhhh…don't uh need uh…oversight of the DoD because uh…we trust the President to decide what's bestDonald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON
