@Fr3nchMontana @ZaherTPI @unusual_whales@grok No one gives a fuck about the opinion of some faggot that makes money off market manipulation and thinks Lebron is the GOAT.
@Ally_Sammarco because of Trump's absolute shit negotiating deal to cut oil production in 2020. MAGA too fucking retarded to educate themselves about this fact.
@Fr3nchMontana @ZaherTPI @unusual_whales@grok they become citizens eventually dickhead. Half the Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants, another chunk of those Fortune 500 companies were started by children of immigrants.
@ZaherTPI @unusual_whales@grok it means the people most likely to start a new small businsess, immigrants, don't have access to a loan that could go on to benefit them and the their new home country, the USA. Fucking retarded policy.
@0hour1 it sounds like when your kids die from some easily preventable disease because you were so ill informed you built your entire thought process around it, that humanity will be better off because your dumb genetic line will end 🤷♂️ just spitballing.
@chrislhayes@MattZeitlin nix all of this and stop corporations from buying back their own stock. less stock price manipulation. actual investment back in the company. and dividends get taxed yearly. problem solved.
In 2024, Lina Khan kicked oil baron Scott Sheffield off Exxon's board because of evidence he may have been working with OPEC to inflate oil prices.
In 2025, the Trump FTC removed the order.
Now Sheffield is back and you'll never guess what he's up to.

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
You know, in the end, Trump’s name will be synonymous for the single most evil and destructive person to ever hold the Presidency, and it won’t even be close.
“I killed 500,000 people by botching COVID, wrecked our economy with a foolish trade war, set loose murderous domestic secret police, ripped off Americans in billion-dollar crypto scams, covered Epstein, sold out our allies, started a second Great Depression and World War III” is a hell of a resume.
“The worst job numbers since the Great Recession, the slowest economic growth since COVID, and the worst inflation in nearly two years—these are not the signs of a healthy economy. And we haven’t even talked about oil yet” https://t.co/HCHwbgJAsq
Speaking to several people involved on all sides, I believe I have gotten to the bottom of the story about Pezeshkian's video message - and how Trump blew up a golden opportunity to de-escalate the war.
Here's what happened:
Regional efforts at de-escalation in the war had convinced Iran to gradually adjust its regional retaliation conduct.
In a first step, the Iranian President, as head of the interim leadership council, announced that attacks on neighboring countries would cease as long as their territories wouldn't be used to attack Iran. This is why Pezeshkian issued that video statement (although he went further in his statement, but that's another matter).
Regional states were then expected to respond in kind. This would, understandably, take a few hours, as they were monitoring whether Iran's attacks were being reduced.
But before they could reciprocate the reconciliatory tone and take regional de-escalation to the next level, Trump issued his Truth Social post that declared victory, insulted and humiliated Iran, and even issued further threats of “complete destruction and certain death“.
To make matters worse, the US also crossed another red line shortly thereafter by attacking the water desalination plant at Qeshm Island. (This is incidentally a war crime according to Article 54 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions)
Trump's actions deliberately or inadvertently sabotaged the sensitive de-escalation talks in the region, which is why there was also an uptick by prominent GCC accounts blaming Trump for the war.
Had Trump not done this, chances are that, at a minimum, the regional widening of this war would have been halted and reversed.
With last night’s attacks by Israel on Iran‘s oil infrastructure, we can only assume how Iran may retaliate.
We’ve entered a new phase of this high-intensity war.
Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.
