Alright, this one's for the MAGA crowd. Sit down, shut up, and pay attention because I'm only going to explain this once and I'm using small words so the flag emoji patriots can follow along.
Your boy just let the International Energy Agency announce the biggest emergency oil release in its 50 year history. 400 million barrels. Pooled together from 32 countries. America, Japan, Germany, UK, France, South Korea, the lot. And you lot lost your collective minds like daddy just saved the world.
So let's do the maths that none of you peanuts can do.
The world uses about 105 million barrels of oil a day. Not a week. Not a month. A day. That means your big beautiful 400 million barrel release is less than four days of global supply. Four. Days. That's not a solution, that's a long weekend.
And here's the thing. The entire IEA strategic reserve across all 32 countries is only 1.2 billion barrels. So this one release just burned through a third of the whole planet's emergency safety net in a single go. One crisis. One third of the cupboard. Gone.
But it gets dumber. Keep up.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Twenty percent of the world's oil flows through that strait and right now none of it is moving. Citigroup estimates somewhere between 11 and 16 million barrels a day is being choked off the market. So even if you're just trying to plug the gap from the strait, 400 million barrels buys you roughly a month. Maybe.
But it gets even dumber. I know, hard to believe.
America's share of this is coming from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which only holds 415 million barrels right now. That's 58 percent of capacity because your guy never actually refilled the thing despite telling you he did. If the US shoulders the biggest chunk of this release, which everyone expects it to, your tank is basically empty. And then what happens when the NEXT crisis hits? Because there's always a next one. Try to think ahead for once.
And the US can only physically pump oil out of the reserve at 4.4 million barrels a day. It takes 13 days from a presidential order before a single barrel reaches the market. So even if they turned the taps on right now, the cavalry doesn't arrive for two weeks and when it does it can't keep up with the shortfall.
Meanwhile the bloke who started the war that closed the strait in the first place is on local TV in Cincinnati going "we'll reduce it a little bit then fill it up again" like he's talking about the fuel tank on his golf cart. And you clapped. You actually clapped.
This isn't a rescue plan. It's a press release designed to keep the stock market calm for 48 hours. A band aid on an arterial bleed. Thirty two countries just torched a third of the world's emergency oil supply because your president started a war he can't finish, and if this drags past summer, the cupboard is bare, prices are in triple digits, and there is no plan B.
But yeah champ, pop a Bud Light. Slap a bumper sticker on it. The adults are definitely in charge. Via~~ I Fucking Love Australia

If you wanna see what happens when you deprive a raging alcoholic of their preferred beverage for longer than 3-5 minutes, watch any presser with this wino or Kegstand. Their baseline levels of sheer stupidity & shitty attitude magnified tenfold.

Here’s U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro crashing out and screaming at a reporter after a judge blocked her bullshit subpoenas targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

These people are deeply unserious.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

Trump has deployed U.S. Marines to Iran. He has, because he’s full of shit…and he has “Obliterated” nothing.

IF THERE IS NO PROOF THAT TRUMP MOLESTED CHILDREN, WHY DOES THE FBI KEEP DELETING PROOF THAT TRUMP MOLESTED CHILDREN 🤔 ANYONE 🤷

This little Weasley Hacker admitted to being racist & homophobic because if he wasn’t he wouldn’t have admitted to cancelling Grants because of a person’s color of sexual preference! He seems like he enjoyed this job & the high he got from being able to screw people over.

🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ has "indefinitely paused" the unsealing of the final Epstein files, citing "regional instability" and "national security" regarding the Iran conflict.

If you had ANY remaining doubts, then nobody can help you.

[TheRealThelmaJohnson @TheRealThelmaJ1]

How about the fact Trump would literally go into a conference room at Trump Tower with the owner of the National Enquirer and make up stories about his opponents to publish. Then he would go on t.v. and yell about fake news.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

You launch a war. You don’t bother to tell the American people why you launched a war. 13 American warriors have already died in your war. And you & your 15yr old Sec of Defense spend ALL your time whining about the media coverage of your war. You’re a crybaby & a madman. https://t.co/v82fAvPEUK

The reason Donald Trump keeps lying about that elementary school full of murdered Iranian girls is because he knows that half of his dipshit voters believe whatever he says, and the other half want him to do it again

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

trump and Hegseth are responsible for a cluster f*ck of MASSIVE proportions; their failure to plan has resulted in 12 American deaths SO FAR, and I'm not letting them off the hook.

Remember what they did to President Biden?
Yeah, me too.

[Bob Short @baubie89]

@JoeyBautista999 I literally have nothing to give. If you asked & I had the means, I would help you out like I always have, but I don't have anything to send except ❤️&🙏. I'm sorry.

Mike Johnson: "I want to commend President Trump for his extraordinary leadership. He leads on this important and complex issue as he does all others. He sees a problem, he wants us to solve it, and he assembles the right people to get it done. I think he's the only figure on the planet who could do that."

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: The Defense Department has just banned all Photographs at press briefing because Pete Hegseth thinks that some of the photos of him at press conferences are "unflattering".

The irony that these are the same people who say that the military has to be more extreme and masculine, and that wokeness destroyed it before.

What a loser.

[Bob Short @baubie89]

@MsAnnaBaxter @theliamnissan Yes, I realize that. 😒 She was also amazing in All About Eve. I was PRETENDING to be a dipshit MAGAt. I'm not actually one. I apologize if I offended you.
