#oil #iran #trump
Surely not bigger than the 1973 jump?
With #oil skyrocketing in price, black rain in #Iran, death and destruction across the Middle East, U.S. soldiers lost what does #Trump do? Play fucking golf! 25th amendment time
๐ฎ๐ท An Iranian woman in Tehran sends a message to Iranian diaspora monarchists who pushed the US and Israel to bomb their own country.
"This is your country's infrastructure. This isn't something to celebrate. There's no happiness in this. Now go ahead and dance"

NEW: A close ally of Pope Leo XIV is accusing the Trump-Vance White House of turning war into entertainment.
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich blasted a White House video celebrating U.S. strikes on Iran as โsickening,โ warning that real deaths are being reduced to spectacle in the age of social media.
Imagine waging war on Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and waging war on Iran to replace Khamenei with Khamenei๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I'm sure that going to win over hearts and minds of ordinary Iranians
One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.
#Trump "But the nice part is we sank 44 of their ships, which is their entire navy" Islamic Republic of #Iran Navy (IRIN), approx. major vessels: 85โ100. Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy (IRGCN), approx. total vessels: ~350โ400. Ughhh NO, once again LIE!!
Like you did to 160 school girls
Way to win hearts and minds heh
My latest #Substack explores the lack of strategic planning for the war in #Iran, mission creep and the risks the conflict poses.
"He seems to have had no idea that the Gulf would be a target. โฆ He professed that Iranโs attacks on American allies were 'probably the biggest surprise'โdespite the fact that just about every country in the region had warned that Iran would surely attack them in retaliation."
GasBuddyGuy: "National average price of gasoline creeping higher at $3.469/gal this morning, up 52.8c/gal from a week ago while diesel has hit $4.583/gal, up 84.3c/gal from a week ago. Americans today will spend nearly $200 million more on gasoline than just 7 days ago."
Presidents normally have minimal/nothing to do with gasoline prices, of course. But in this case, Trump is basically 100% responsible for the oil/gasoline/natural gas price spike, because it's 100% due to his war of choice against Iran. bluevirginia.us/2026/03/sund... h/t @gasbuddyguy.bsky.social
Not exactly the way to win hearts and minds
I think he's mistaking Greater Israel for Iran

In 1982, #Israel invaded #Lebanon to destroy the PLO. It succeeded โ but cutting off one head of the hydra only helped create another.
Four decades later, Israel is bombing #Beirut again #iran #war

Our pedo President couldn't take the fucking cap off to pay respects to fallen troops. Troops he put in the line of fire with hi stupid war. #Trump #cheeto #fascist
In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...
The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.
Are we tired of winning yet?
Of course it can. Why else have they remained unreleased
Exclusive from Reuters
President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was not concerned about rising U.S. gas prices driven by the widening Iran conflict,
"if they rise, they rise" he said
