Trump has checked out on Iran. He's letting his toadies run the war while he concentrates on important issues, such as collecting bribes, alienating allies, praising dictators, building tacky monuments to himself, undermining elections and posting A.I. images of himself as the leader he'll never be.

A drone strike on a U.S.-owned tanker in Egypt; Houthis firing on Red Sea shipping; the Saudis and Iraqi militias trading attacks; Iran attacking U.S. troops in Jordan; China and Russia arming Iran. Trump's war is morphing into the regional conflict many feared it would become. Nice job, Donnie.

From NYT: "The Pentagon put the cost of the war on Iran at 'closer' to $29 billion, roughly $4 billion more than two weeks ago." For the arithmetically challenged, that's $2 billion a week added to the national debt, and that's only if they're not low-balling the cost. Your tax dollars pissed away.
Another weak and futile attempt to keep oil prices under control.
Given the hideous alternative, I'm willing to give Bluesky the benefit of the doubt.
It's important to keep in mind that we're funding Trump's needless war at $2 billion a day AND Republicans are letting him do it. Vote them all out. Every single one of them.
“I have the best plan of all,” Trump said. “But I’m not going to tell you what my plan is.” Anybody who believes such infantile bullshit from a lifelong conman has to be dumb beyond belief. He's the most prolific liar to ever walk the earth and too lazy and stupid to create any sort of real plan.
