By Ben Gvir, maybe? This man is a complete psychopath. This man should simply be thrown out of any half-way sane government. The fact he is still in there tells you all you need to know about Netanyahu.

Worst thing about the Neyhyanu is in order to have a majority, he has to buy some fringe political parties votes by putter their members in Cabinent seats.
Ben Gvir and the militant Muslim fundie leader deserve each other.

And a lot of the Muslims I know hold values that are antithetical to MAGA.

There are also a lot of Godless Atheists ™️ in Europe, most of whom also hold views antithetical to MAGA. And many so-called Christians, like Pope Leo.

Of course there are good Muslims and good Christians who do hold to the values of Trump. Andrew Tate, Russell Brand and Calvin Robinson spring to mind.

here's a chart of the strategic reserves. kind of a nice visual aid to see why the trump admin is panicking

Interesting, thanks.

So the reserve almost halved in the Covid pandemic but was recovering and on track to fully recover over about a decade. But Trump has now wiped out all of that recovery.

So it's not so much that the oil was about to run out, it's that he was about to make reserves plunge below the worst moment of the Covid crisis. Politically embarrassing.

it was also heavily drawn down when russia invaded ukraine to control prices.

the thing to remember about this is that it's a strategic reserve, so it's really for the military primarily. although they can and do draw on it to ease prices, they really can't allow it to get critically low for national security reasons.


about 3 weeks ago it was reported that oil reserves held by oil companies were getting low and prices would spike


last week trump himself said they were 4 weeks from being emptied out and prices would spike

you can see on the above chart that the admin is running low on it's method of controlling prices

and now that the iran deal is basically fallen through due to his actions

Trump accuses oil companies of gas price ‘gouging,’ calls for DOJ probe

“The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The U.S.-Iran deal has eased the pressure on consumers ahead of November’s midterm elections.

trump is accusing oil companies of price gouging


anyway, that's my take on why he's panicking and doing a bunch of stupid ◊◊◊◊

That maybe explains the panicking but doing stupid ◊◊◊◊ is kind of his default setting. What he's done has worked though because hardly anyone is talking about the Epstein files anymore. He's ◊◊◊◊◊◊ so many things up that the files are low on the list because everything is falling apart.
 
yeah he’s a moron, and so are all his advisors.

i don’t think the epstein stuff is forgotten tho. they just interviewed bill gates, and i hope that the dems take the house in midterms and control the oversight committee. a disastrous war in iran is favorable towards that imo

I was more referring to the media instead of Congress. I'm happy that Congress is still pursuing it but Trump doesn't care what Congress does right now. They're a bunch of spineless ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ cowards. They won't do anything to upset their Lord and savior.

I agree wrt the midterms. I hope the Dems take control and make everything public. Expose all of the ◊◊◊◊ his administration is doing.

The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz.
One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way.
We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement.

Yeah, Trump, they violate the agreement because no one has respect for you.
 
Just yesterday Donald said Iran was defeated and desperate for a deal

The US military has conducted strikes on Iranian targets after President Donald Trump accused Iran of a "foolish violation" of its truce following an attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

US Central Command said it had struck missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions on Friday.

It said the strikes were in response for a drone attack on a cargo ship on Thursday, an incident which halted a planned evacuation of thousands of sailors stuck in the region.

Tehran said the cargo ship was attacked because it was using an unauthorised route to transit through the vital Gulf waterway.

I don't know who to beleive in the latest exchange of fire in the Gulf; both Trump and the Iranian regime are world class liars.
