So the deal between Iran & Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz indicates that: * All ships must enter on the Iranian side & PAY tolls * All ships must leave on the Oman side with no tolls SofH passage was FREE before Trump started his war & FREE under Obama & Biden.

I deal only with politics b/c everything is politics. Fierce anti-Trumper who does not condone rape, lying & fraud. Liberal, Democratic, who knows that we are all equal. Climate Change is real. Putin is evil. Pro NATO. Pro LGBTQ+ rights. BLM. Vets matter.
All Senate Republicans are proving that they're for pedophilia, rewarding cop beaters & other J6 rioters with our taxpayer dollars, ensuring Trump & his crime family are never audited by the IRS, & ensuring the DOJ remains Trump's personal law firm. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
With Susan Collins opposed to Todd Blanche, his fate rests with two Senate Republicans
No Cabinet-secretary nominee has lost a Senate confirmation vote since 1989. Will Blanche break the streak? It’s poised to be a close vote.

The American people, with El-Sayed's victory, have proven that they want Medicare for all & not to keep funding 11 Aircraft carriers with $1.5 trillion annually to protect the financial interests of a few U.S. billionaires by igniting 'Forever Wars'. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump has fucked up the entire Middle East by stupidly thinking he could end a war with Iran in a day or two, as he did when he ordered the kidnapping of Maduro. And right now Dubai is in flames, contradicting Trump's claim that Iran is begging him to make a deal. www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...
Dubai explosions LIVE as huge smoke seen near luxury port after 'loud bangs'

Sneaky bitch, Susan Collins, knows her 'no' vote for Blanche won't matter, so she switches sides to dupe voters into thinking that she hasn't been fully MAGAT-ized like every other MAGAT senator. If her vote were the deciding vote, she'd never buck Trump; NEVER! www.axios.com/2026/08/04/t...
Susan Collins opposes Todd Blanche for attorney general
Collins' opposition makes every remaining undecided Republican that much more important.

Even that "Weekend at Bernie's" guy, and Vladimir Lenin, who's been dead for 102 years, looks more alive than Albino Don does without his pound of makeup and yellow hair dye on.
Until MAGATS like corny Cornyn find out why Blanche moved Ghislaine Maxwell out of prison into a country club, they must assume he did it to keep her quiet about Trump's probable linkage to child rape. Although a pedophile protector like Blanche is not as bad as the pedophile in the WH, it's close!
Corny Cornyn now says he has "no alternative" but to trust Blanche's word. Here's your alternative, Corny: Demand a document signed by Blanche & Trump clearly stating that the slush fund is dead & any other future rewards to J6 rioters; or else, you won't vote to approve Blanche!
With Trump publicly humiliating Jeanine Pirro, saying she choked & folded like a wet umbrella, she would not only resign but exonerate her reputation and proudly say that she supports facts, not Trump's delusional version of reality.
So we can now add money laundering to Trump's sordid resume, which includes pedophilia, wife beating, insider trading, pussy grabbing, bribery, business fraud, housing discrimination, multiple bankruptcies, serial adultery, etc etc.
The entire Republican Party aka the MAGAT-cult & the righties on SCOTUS have gone from the pro-family values party to the pro-pedophilia, pro-war, pro-spending, pro-inflation, & pro-sycophancy party.
When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.
Thanks to Trump's sick need for glory, our long-range precision missiles are gone, gas prices are way over $4.00, the Strategic Oil Reserve is empty, the SofH is closed, Iran still has all its uranium, the military is asking for $500 billion more, & Trump's blaming it all on Biden while he golfs.
US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles - www.reuters.com/world/us-has... All in the service of a war criminal nation and the world's largest exporter of terror Netanyahu's fascist Israel 🤨
Letting Trump evade IRS audits is akin to leaving a bank vault open, knowing bank robbers are about to enter.
Is the Strait of Hormuz open and toll-free yet? Has Iran agreed to abandon its nuclear ambitions yet? Case closed!
How can Trump, whose 1st wife accused him of beating her & rape, who is alleged to have slapped a 14-year-old for biting his cock, who is accused by 25 reputable women of sexual offenses & is an adjudicated rapist, possibly call for Congressman Max Miller's resignation?
Delusional Don continues to artificially prop up the markets with his lying bullshit about his imaginary talks with Iran, claiming they're just dying & begging to make a deal with him. www.politicususa.com/p/trump-emba...
Even the Senators that Trump fucked by digracing them & ruining their lives by primarying them out of office still fold like a wet towel, still let him escape IRS audits for him and his crime family, and not release the Epstein files that would surely prove he's a child rapist.
So Trump's latest phrasing for the SofH to open, as it was before his war of choice with Iran, is not that it's a memorandum of understanding, or a framework of a deal, or an outline of a deal; now he's calling it "perimeters of a deal". How about a real deal, Mr. Art of the Deal?
So, who was the Trump Organization money laundering for? It couldn't possibly be for the Russian mob, which is linked with Putin, now could it? www.npr.org/2026/08/02/g...

The entire Middle East was scared to death & sleepless with Trump's threats of a massive military attack, & while they were up all night & nervous for their lives, Trump spent the entire weekend golfing, on the taxpayer dime, at his country club for the rich in NJ.
The whole world, even the stock markets, is starting to ignore Trump's repeated threats that go nowhere, realizing that he's just an 80-year-old cornered rat of a man who keeps crying 'wolf'.
The reason MAGATs in Congress are trashing Dr. Fauci ahead of the midterms is b/c they want voters to blame Fauci for the over 460,000 unnecessary COVID deaths, instead of Trump, who b/c he ignored & downplayed the virus, was the one who caused all those tragic deaths.
The latest surveys indicate that Mr. Trump is now all but the most unpopular second-term president at this stage of their tenure in the history of polling going back to the 1940s. Except for Nixon, when he was days away from resigning.
RFK's annoying adductor spasmodic dysphonia voice, probably caused by his excessive use of alcohol & heroin, makes him almost impossible to listen to or understand. It's like listening to someone scratch a blackboard with their fingernails.
This is how much of a fraud RFK, Jr is Prior to endorsing Trump, he approached Kamala Harris to see if it was possible to join her team. She declined Trump, on the other hand, paid $100,000 to secure RFK’s allegiance A fraud-and a cheap date
Even though Israeli forces just killed 11 Palestinians & targeted Gaza infrastructure, delusional Don is boasting that both combatants agreed to his imaginary peace plan when neither agreed to stop fighting. What next? Will he demand the Nobel Peace Prize? www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...
Israeli forces kill 11 in Gaza, toll now 21 since latest Trump plan

Taco Don tacos yet again for the millionth time. Donnie claims he's pausing bombing provided Iran agrees to reopen the Strait & ends their nuclear threat, but Iran hasn't agreed to do either. Donnie claims Israel committed to a pause, but Israel says we didn't commit to shit!
Vandals did not destroy the Reflecting Pool; Trump did, by hiring his Mar-a-Lago buddy to fix the pool with a no-bid contract, & then he blamed & persecuted an innocent man for his hiring fuckup! In normal times, this disaster alone would be enough to impeach Trump!
Even MAGAT Sen. Thom Tillis, who's not even seeking reelection, remains too gutless to lash out at Trump for wanting to give J6 cop beaters & rioters a million dollars each. Instead of directly criticizing Trump for his slush fund, he blames some imaginary person he claims is "ADVISING" him!
It's sad that Kushner and Witkoff have visited Moscow 21 times, always taking Putin's plan, printing it out in English, and saying that's America's plan. Not even once have Kushner and Witkoff visited Kyiv!
Trump is determined to reward all J6 rioters with $1 million each, despite the fact that up to 174 cops were assaulted & injured by the rioters, with 5 young cops dying soon after J6. All Republicans are supporting Trump's gift to the cop beaters except the two leaving office!😢
