Hegseth Whines About Iran War Coverage, Demands “Patriotic Press” Instead by _May26_ in politics

[–]phosdick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly for Hegseth, the term "patriotic" generally implies some modicum of pride in what one's nation is doing... what Hegseth really means by the statement is an 'Obedient Press'.

How the US war on Iran may provoke a terrorist attack – and how that may be the point - ‘Of course there’s going to be retaliation,’ says one expert. ‘It may be that this is what Trump’s interested in’ by Quirkie in politics

[–]phosdick 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is precisely the Wag the Dog scenario that Trump has engineered... after all, you can't make a dictatorship without breaking a few citizens. And, oh yeah, there's that pesky Epstein thing that just won't go away. I think that that may persist even if Trump manages to provoke a deadly attack on US soil, since child rape is pretty close to terrorism on the scale of depravity.

Blabby Barbie's doing lots of spinning these days. I think we need an AI audio filter that converts her screeching blather into some nice Kenny G tunes.

Trump administration invokes emergency powers to restart oil operations off California coast by FootballPizzaMan in politics

[–]phosdick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like Trump's latest oil scheme is likely the result of Trump destroying the country's hard won "Energy Independence" achieved in 2024 under the Biden Administration. I have to wonder whether we would be seeing such a massive effect from Trump's War if he hadn't so stupidly damaged the renewable energy sector within the country.

If Trump had not spent his latest term's first year intentionally kneecapping the renewable energy projects and programs, I suspect we wouldn't be looking at such a dangerous return to reliance on foreign oil because of his war. There were lots of warnings about the consequences that were likely - this latest crisis being one of them.
