A U.S. president could theoretically freeze #banking or #401k assets by declaring a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. This law allows the president to impose economic restrictions in response to an “unusual and extraordinary threat”...

Also, please remember a robber could theoretically seize your #gold by holding a screwdriver in your ear.

But real estate is recorded where? Your County!

I will always be the first to admit when I am wrong. It looks like #Kuwait may be the first to need a U.S. carrier parked off shore for water desalinization... Not #Qatar. Because Kuwait's desal got droned today.

But don't worry, at least for this hour #Trump is in a mood to walk away from the whole mess. No wait, in the mood for maximum lethality. No wait, it is Joe Biden's fault.

It is weird when history is determined by the roulette table of one senile mind.

#Trump signaling surrender and telling the #UK that they can go get their own oil is like the moment when Hitler blamed the #German people for not living up to Hitler's greatness. But hey, did anyone predict that the war would end with #Iran given a war reparations franchise to take tolls in the straight of Hormuz? Was it me? Did I point out that oil customers would pay?

But really people, the idiot has a different position hourly. Nothing is over yet, even if the #djia is reading Trump leaves.

In fact, dumbass would need to bring at least one nuclear carrier to #qatar, who is the most dependent on desal. I don't know who near there might want to shoot at a U.S. carrier, docked and desalinating water? (Yes, nuclear carriers can do that.) Right now the carriers are hiding out in the Indian Ocean as this Pentagon does seem to have learned at least one thing from #Russia's experience. One gets #Moskva vibes. Please don't war crime and compound your ridiculous mistakes.

In another stable genius threat of war crimes, #Trump threatening #Iran desalinization plants. Honey, you really should look at which nations in the region absolutely depend on desal. Hint: it is your allies and #tehran still has missiles. This would start an absolute #apocalypse around the gulf and get you dangling over at the Hague, yet #Iran would be one of the survivors. Not only a war crime, but a great military incompetence.

Trump threatens to ‘blow up’ desalination plants in Iran if no deal reached

Legal expert says targeting civilian sites would be ‘collective punishment’, which is prohibited under laws of war.

Never underestimate the ability of #Democrats to bungle a sure thing. #California is getting a #Republican governor, one who will fall pretty quickly to a recall election. Still a fucking travesty of incompetent pols $#!++!&9 on themselves over here. Might Willie Brown ride to the rescue with good advice one more time? Maybe California #Dems can get their $#!+ together? Imho, all the white Dems should gut it up and step aside. None of 'yall are all that anyway.
