How do we get out of this?

[Luckyone]

Just like when dem followers worshipped obama?

There you go again, deflecting (as always) to Obama or Biden, as if that excuses Trump doing what he does.

It is incredible the stupidity involved in doing that (deflecting to Biden or Obama), given that such a deflection means that you are a hypocrite for criticizing them but NOT criticizing Trump for doing the same thing.

If Trump doing it is okay, the Obama and Biden doing it should be okay as well, or vice versa, if you criticize them, you should then also criticize Trump.

It is the dumbest thing anyone can do, then again, dumbness is expected among Trump supporters!

Oil prices are higher than before the war but stable

In my opinion we need to seize Iranian oil exports and yhe Iranian people must take over the streets

Then the muslim dictatorship will fall

My gas is up a dollar a gallon thanks to Trumps war

 

[leftwinger]

Is Iran exporting any oil right now?

I heard some. The USA is not striking Oil tankers. China needs oil. I saw India sent a Navy warship or two to escort Oil takers for itself? Must be a mess over there with traffic?

I've blamed congressional Republicans for this from Day One. They could have done something about this all along.

It's never about one guy. It can't be.

Yes, I think they are

How? No one is going through the straits according to people like you! Of course Iran lied when it said it would only attack US and Israeli tankers which do not even exist!

So? A few months paying $25-$50 extra per month is not going to kill those working - commuting. You dont go anywhere. You sit home on TDS on pension badmouthing America.

I used 100 gal per month during a lot of Obiden 1.0 hardship years at $4/gal in CA when it hurt. Yes, in a 25Mpg 4CYL car. Do the math leech.

I blame Congress & also spineless cowards like Rubio & other aides who are too gutless to stand up to Trump & just go along to get along in order to keep their jobs & be close to the seat of power.

They're not patriots, they're oppurtunists & the Country be damned.

Not deflecting. We're making a comparison.

Took the words out of my mouth comparison creates context and perspective. Trump is nothing like Biden or Obama. He faces a threat and gets the job done. Obama was an appeaser and Biden didnt know what day it was

19 hours ago — Trump backs FCC chair's threat to pull licenses of news outlets over Iran war coverage.

Needed, as much information as possible.
blocking news, pulling licenses not a good or smart move

Short term pain unlike the 5 year Obiden 1.0 malaise where nothing ever got better but GOVT flourished.

I shop, Wal-Mart & Safeway. Last I was there it was all coming down. Maybe its going back up? That quickly? Again like $6 Corpse gas? $7 diesel?

From GP poster:

American is not trying to eliminate the nation of Iran. It is trying to eliminate the brutal, oppressive regime that is terrorizing its own people and the world.

 

[sartre play]

The very definition of cowardice cloaked as fear.

I wonder what people like you would have said and blamed if a suitcase nuke went off in D.C. or A major city like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or any of the dozens of other cities that don't have an Islamic communist as mayor?

I've always found it amusing that the clown show always has the right answers, and those are the same ones that have led us to this point.

My answer to the Straights is to put a surcharge of 50% on every tanker that moves oil to market as a fee for keeping the straights open, and those countries who want the oil but refuse to help keep the supply flowing, should have to pay an additional 10% on top of that.

It seems their greed and lust for money and power is all they understand. Start taking some of that money away from them and then listen to the tune they sing.

Is that blackmail? Wrong or right just do what I SAY?
Is just one person running USA? Thought we paid good money for people with expertise to help us run the country.
What is really going on?

Don’t blame Obama and Biden
This one is on Trump

Tell me it is short term when it becomes short term.
I dont trust Trumps assurances

I went to buy gas this morning
$3.89 a galon
It was $2.89 a month ago

Why isn’t Trump bragging about his gas prices now?

Like we did in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq

When will we learn?

 

[sartre play]

Interesting that you bring that up. Bessent says the US is "allowing" Iranian tankers thru the strait. The regime has decided to let Russia sell its oil on the world market.

The material affect being two of our biggest enemies are receiving revenue from oil sales so trump doesn't have to bear the political consequences for his ill conceived decision to attack Iran. And he gets to do a favor for his friend Vlad. Who is helping Iran with intel to target US troops. A stable genius trump is not.

Helping a RUSSIAN DICTATOR get rich?
No one remembers? the Cuban missile crisis ?

Get in. Get it done before marshmellowed not DemWitted loons steal the WH and undo it

No more GWB or Romney allowed either. I wolud vote only a Trump clone, no Congress slime. I did my duty.
