But if the US is the one blockading, those countries sending and receiving oil from the gulf will be blaming the country actually implementing the blockade which is now the US instead of Iran.

I’ve been reading these articles for about an hour now trying to figure out the plan. So, Iran blockades the straight and disrupts trade but starts letting some ships through and may be requiring toll payments. Not good but slightly better than nothing. The goal is to open the straight so the global economy doesn’t completely melt and the solution is to blockade all traffic in the straight? The means all traffic from US allies and adversaries. Now, the straight is being blockaded by essentially the US and Iran so no ships go through at all. What’s the plan? Keep it closed for what purpose? Does Trump think the US can ramp up oil, natural gas, and refining to plug the hole in the energy market? Is that the plan? I can’t see anything else making sense.

With the IRS, it was shown that at lower staffing levels, they don’t have the resources to audit large tax cheats like billionaires, just middle annd lower income folk. So I imagine they would be super happy to reduce IRS headcount.

Like yeah, that post was obviously insane, unhinged, and just flat out immoral…but could you imagine if he used Dijon mustard?

The irony was when reading the post, the apostrophe was what made me question if he wrote it. I was surprised he knew how to use an apostrophe or where to find it on his phones keyboard. That was my first thought about the person Americans elected to lead their country. Says a lot and I am American.

Grateful Dead in theory, NOFX in practice.

These are the breakthroughs I want to hear about. I’m off to become a farmer.

Fired from two bands like this and one as successful as Turnstile, this guy must be a real POS.

I do think it’s somewhat a victory. These types of jobs come with a lot of process knowledge that is very important to be effective. The more turnover in these roles, the more time they have to spend getting up to speed on how things work and the less they can accomplish. The less they can accomplish, the better off the country will be. I figure (guesstimate) that it impacts department productivity by at least 10% which is better than nothing.

We won, we are just waiting to tell the Iranians. It’s going to be super awkward when they found out they lost so we are waiting for them to receive our gift basket before telling them.

Get some Flex Seal, attach that back part to the front part and add in a slap of, “that should hold”. She’ll be flying again in no time.

When we play a live music show and have that first beer after walking off stage. We play smaller bars so it’s not an arena or anything but wow does it always hit the hardest.

I dunno, that idea you just posted sure sounds like Sociology to me…which is now banned in Florida.

I’m guilty of all of them except the “heating the whole neighborhood “ thing. I always hated when my dad said that.

Combat the minefield with a fork bomb. Ain’t no process surviving this engagement.

Yeah this really just looks like the second loss in a row as it relates to TSA. So at this point, TSA workers have gone without pay two times and the democrats will have received nothing in return. The GOP will easily get their 50 votes in reconciliation and everything will continue as it did before. What was even the point of this then?

There is zero decency left in the Republican Party. You know none of them are going to put up a stink about this comment which means they support it.

LOL that was my exact thought. If it were easy, you would be doing it to say you did it.

Please tell me this ain’t real. Couldnt just keep his mouth shut? I’ll hold my opinion until someone tells me this is real.

Wow that is sad. I hope he went peacefully. We could all argue that there was more he could have done or that he could have moved faster, etc….but at the end of the day he fought the good fight and should be remembered as someone who stood up to fascism. I hope he went peacefully.
