If the POTUS can make himself and his ENTIRE family immune from the IRS, why the fuck should any of US pay taxes from now on? Y'all aren't angry enough. 🗣️
@catturd2 In an era of intellectual atrophy… this quintessential boomer offers nothing but vapid platitude… endless noise devoid of substance, the very archetype of an idiot masquerading as sage.
It's kinda suspicious that a group of billionaires are spending 10s of millions of dollars trying to unseat a single Republican Congressman from Kentucky who just happens to be one of the few members of Congress that refuses to be a puppet of a foreign nation.
🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM.
70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.
Oil dropped 12%.
The trade made $125 million in profit.
Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%.
$760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement.
$920 million placed before this one.
Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming.
What kind of war is this?
This is more like a trading desk with an army.
Never stop connecting the dots.
A one-minute oil trade on April 17 has turned a market mystery into a pattern. At 12: 24 GMT in London, traders sold 7, 990 Brent futures lots, roughly $760 million positioned for a drop in crude. Twenty minutes later, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X that the Strait of Hormuz was fully open to commercial shipping for the duration of the ceasefire. Within minutes, Brent sank 11 percent and U.S. crude fell 12 percent below $83 a barrel. Reuters reported the timing using London Stock Exchange Group data.
The reason this trade matters is that it was not the first. On March 23, about $500 million in bearish oil positions reportedly appeared shortly before Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure would be delayed. Oil fell 15 percent. On April 7, another roughly $950 million was placed before a two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire announcement, followed by a 16 percent slide in crude. Across three episodes in less than a month, more than $2.2 billion was positioned in the right direction shortly before market-moving developments tied to the same conflict.
Bloomberg first reported on April 15 that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had opened an official investigation into suspicious oil trades ahead of recent Iran war announcements. Reuters later confirmed that the probe covers the March 23 and April 7 activity and could logically expand to the April 17 trade. The agency has reportedly requested records from CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange, including Tag 50 identifiers that can help trace the real traders behind the orders. Publicly, the White House has called any suggestion of insider misuse baseless. CME says market integrity is its top priority and has pointed to the need to examine prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi as well.
What makes the story bigger than one suspect trade is the real-world backdrop. Since the war began on February 28, Brent had climbed nearly 40 percent. A disruption in Hormuz threatens around 13 million barrels per day, according to ING. Higher crude costs feed directly into fuel, transport, aviation and food prices. That is why the central question is not only who placed the trades, but whether strategic commodity markets have become so sensitive to political posts and war messaging that those closest to power can repeatedly move before everyone else.

Todd Blanche was Trump's personal fixer, and he was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a minimum security girl's summer camp. This is the Epstein Administration. Wake up you dipshits
