So, like Venezuela, but a lot bloodier and costlier. Great. All for what?
@georgetakei it keeps Netanyahu happy.

@georgetakei I know it was never really better, but I miss the days when politicians actually took the time to craft nice sounding fabrications about the actions of our country.

Now they feel we are too beneath them to even bother lying to us.

@georgetakei

War with Iran only to distract people from the Epstein Files, get cheap oil, and destroy Iran’s infrastructure in the process.

@georgetakei I couldn’t help but notice that the US government never said ā€œregime changeā€ā€¦ juuuust media. But I didn’t expect them to admit they don’t give a shit about ā€œregime changeā€

@georgetakei

So fairly means above $100 per barrel?

@georgetakei Well, with the Strait of Hormuz closed, American and Venezu…Trumperican oil are sort of the available options, and with price skyrocketing, they can fill as much or as little of supply deficit as they want, depending on desired profit margins… so there is that.
@georgetakei Isn't this impeachable?

@georgetakei A deadly and costly one, to be sure, but still…
@georgetakei Truly a president worthy of the Nobel Peace prize..
@georgetakei to make people like you mad.
@georgetakei I’ll take murderous white/male/straight/Christian domination for $100, Alex.
Oh wait, every category is murderous white/male/straight/Christian domination.

@georgetakei

All for oil and land.
For money, power, and privileges.

@georgetakei All to ensure President Krasnov’s continued paychecks from Putin.
@georgetakei Psychopaths don't need a reason.
#FascistsGonnaFascist in #Trumpistan. They want puppet governments like Vichy France. #MeinKampf.
@georgetakei
@georgetakei All for raising the price of oil out of sight, so his oil baron buddies get even richer, enabling them to buy more politicians who will write oil-friendly legislation.

@georgetakei

Das ist, als ob Trump in einer Dürre einen Regentanz aufführt, und weil es trotzdem nicht regnet behauptet, es sollte so sein.

ā€žIch wollte nicht das es regnet, ich wollte nur, dass die Sonne weniger scheint.ā€œ

Hƶrt auf, diesen Typen wie einen Erwachsenen zu behandeln!

@georgetakei Imagine if China murdered a Pope then declared they get to handpick who his successor will be, despite not being Christian. Even as an atheist, I know that this is deeply insulting to a major religion and as the Shah demonstrated there can be no peace under a puppet.

@georgetakei

Hopefully it will be far enough out to avoid all the garbage Musk et al. want to send up, otherwise images will be impacted, this appears to be happening already with Hubble.

However, this is most welcome, as there is much out there to be discovered.

@georgetakei pistachios. I'm sure it's all about the pistachios
