President Obama had multiple assassination attempts on his life.
But he didn't start whining like a little girl.
He continued doing his job like a real man.
Continuing the blockade puts far more pressure on us than on Iran. Iran has proven it can endure economic pain—it has been doing so since 1979. The blockade will not force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment, ballistic missiles, or its proxy networks.
Instead, the blockade is hurting the American people and creating serious domestic pressure on POTUS:
Gas prices will continue to rise as we head into the midterms, harming the working class voters who overwhelmingly backed Trump and Republicans—putting GOP majorities in serious jeopardy.
Staging three carrier battle groups plus a massive build up of airpower in CENTCOM to enforce the blockade is unsustainable—it hands an emboldened IRGC ample opportunities to strike U.S. forces and drag America back into war on Iran’s terms.
The global fallout only increases the pressure on us, not Iran:
Beyond the oil and gas crisis, the blockade is now triggering a global fertilizer shortage that will cause major food security crises and potential famines in vulnerable regions.
The smarter path is clear: withdraw, declare victory, and use sanctions relief as our negotiating leverage with Iran. This resets the talks on our terms, avoids war, and prevents further escalation of the energy crisis at home and abroad.
Bet you won't see a single MAGA Republican support this, why?
Because they thrive on people bein broke and angry, they'd rather see Americans starve than let progressives have a win for the people. You guys know, its always "America First" until it comes to actually feedin Americans. Facts dont care about your loyalty to lobbyists.
Which side are you really on?
Breaking: Gas prices just spiked to 2022 nightmare levels while oil hits 2015 highs.
Trump chaos ain’t free, your wallet paying for it.
How much more before people start connecting the dots? 🤔
Rep. Norman says there’s no need for new laws to lower costs because Trump is already on it.
The message to Americans? Just eat the prices until the war ends ⛽️
Is "waiting it out" a solid economic plan? 🤔
Melania senior adviser Marc Beckman: "Kimmel needs to go. It's time that ABC stands up and terminates his employment. This isn't a freedom of speech issue. The issue is purely commercial in nature. He enters the homes of Americans every night, 50% of them don't agree with his perspective, but yet ABC stands behind him."
“Affordability crisis” is just a nicer way to say people can’t keep up anymore.
Rent, food, bills… everything hitting at once.
How is this sustainable?
@LeadingReport Half of us cant afford groceries and rent is through the roof, but Trumps big priority is firing scientists? 🤡
Talk about being out of touch. He’d rather settle personal beefs than lower the price of gas. This admin is a total train wreck for the average joe 🙄
Host: Gas prices jumping again overnight. The national average is $4.18 a gallon. That's up nearly 7 cents since Monday. It's a new high since the war with Iran began.
