MODERATORS
Still sitting there because so far no US company is moving in to do anything about it because they don't want their contractors heads lopped off. And no other country with oil producing capabilities are going in because it would be a competitor for them.
Either not ready, not actually an appropriate oil, or being competitively marked up to compete with Iran
Everyone but the guilty pay the Epstein Tax.
Can we get Spain's leader to say Iran is Trump's Epstein tax on the world. Or any leader? Chants even? Hell by now we should have a billboard top ten about this.
Operation Epic Temper Tantrum.
This is the idiot nepobaby manchild actively throwing the most destructive hissy fit in the history of the world.
And he knows that is what he is doing.
And, he knows that we know that is what he is doing.
... and we're all just letting him do it.
Because "what're you gonna do about it?"
Mob boss shit.
He has a fuck ton of nukes, by the way.
Had to be talked out of nuking a hurricane, in his first term, back when he had staff that would push back against him, before he started stroking out, wondering aloud if he would make it into heaven.
I dunno, I mean, this just makes me even more enraged about the Epstein Files.
It wasn't a war but a quick special operation, lasting a few days top, since they were destroying everything by air.
Then they started saying that maybe a few special forces would put boots on the ground but it was going to be fast.
Now, the oil is raising but it will be a matter of "weeks, not months" before it turns back normal.
I kinda like how the optimism is slowly fading. Let's see how long before they start talking of "months, not years".
This is exactly what putin said about Ukraine. This war will go on for years possibly.
... and the press secretary just refused to rule out conscription (the draft) just a day or so ago. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/trump-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt-refuses-to-rule-out-us-military-draft-for-iran-war/ar-AA1XMEbF
What a fucking MORON!!!!!!!!
Maybe it is small for him and other oligarchs but not for ordinary people.
I doubt that cunt has ever pumped his own gas before, so how the fuck would he know anything.
He drives a Teslur.
It's adorable that so many people believe he cares about them. Trump appeals to every born loser that remains a legend in their own minds
I guess that's one way to get a carbon tax
War is going great for oil and weapon companies racking $$$billions . Why would they stop?
A price he and his sycophants won’t pay. Trump yet again running up a bill he’s going to make someone else eat.
Now that gas is going up, everything you buy will cost more. Tariffs + war oil prices = President Pedo is fucking everyone 24/7.
Small price to pay to distract from Epstein
When is the last time that fat fuck bought gas? I don't mean in some golf course budget, I mean when was the last time he got his own fat ass out of a car he was driving to pump his own gas?
Probably never.
Bought? No idea. Had? Frequently. Often on live TV.
Anyone got any "I did that!!" stickers with Trump's dumb face on them?
Yes... the hilarious part being that when they go on gas pumps THIS time, like when the R's put up Biden, the orange fuck actually DID directly impact the cost.
Seriously, if you find some let me know. Those Biden stickers were all over my town.
And you just know that somewhere, somehow, Trump and his cronies are making massive amounts of money from this.
