@TheMaineWonk Also, if "their anti-aircraft apparatus is non-existent" how are they shooting down helicopters and planes and drones and stuff?
Also: he still doesn't understand that different regions have different oil chemistries.

@ColtonHenr76585 @RpsAgainstTrump Why do you idiots think that Democrats do not exercise their 2nd amendment rights as well?
Pure ignorance.
English
@RpsAgainstTrump Makes me wish I could vote blue, but then I remember how the left constantly purposely misconstrues our second amendment rights in order to degrade them to unknown degrees…

Brennan: Viktor Orban seized control of universities rewrote the Constitution, neutered the courts and is trying to control the media. So why would you want to mimic him?
JD Vance: On the university principle…I think Orban made smart decisions there that we can learn from in the US.

@RpsAgainstTrump Isn't he supposed to be in Islamabad getting us out of their illegal war of choice that they completely and totally fucked up?
Glad he still has time to make the Sunday morning shows.
What the fuck the these people doing.

@barrykane760 @Elex_Michaelson @ZavalaA @ericswalwell Open your eyes and take it in.
I've seen absolutely nobody trying to spin this or diminish it in any way.
Can you say the same about the GOP?
The DNC is done supporting rapists. The GOP is not, as evidenced by absolutely nobody mentioned in the Epstein Files seeing justice.
English
@Elex_Michaelson @ZavalaA @ericswalwell Where is this same coverage and attack mode for Republicans and Trump?
English
Exclusive: @ericswalwell’s attorney Elias Dabaie responds to allegations from 4 women who accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct.
“The Congressman categorically denies any misconduct took place…”
I press on why so many of Swalwell’s friends are telling him to drop out…

@atrupar It sure is a shame that he's willing to "use the full economic might" to strengthen Hungary, but not the United States of America.
SOOO AMERICA FIRST, ISN'T IT?
English
Trump: “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

@AliMarieKat @HQNewsNow Also a fundamental misunderstanding of the oil industry.
Refineries are built with the intended oil chemistry in mind. You can't just switch from Saudi light/sweet to WTI or medium sour without weeks of idling the refinery and billions to rebuild the distillation columns.
🤡
English
MTG: It was an unprovoked war. This is a war on behalf of Israel. The Strait of Hormuz was open before this war. Now it's mostly closed. The price of oil is over $100 a barrel. There are many innocent people dead today because of this. I really don't see any victories here
English
@AliMarieKat @HQNewsNow Oh, so you are just an idiot that doesn't understand global commodity markets, like every other moron saying "we don't need the strait"
TL;DR: your next stop at a gas pump disagrees with your failing logic.
English
@MachineShedFred @HQNewsNow They’ve always done that. Thats their go to.
Maybe if our energy independence and our status as a net exporter of energy wasn’t destroyed by the Biden admin, that wouldn’t be so?
We are not the ones who depend on the strait, it’s our allies…who haven’t lifted a finger.

@Ceo__of__Swag @TheAlexJacob @Osint613 No, you are just an unthinking bigot.

NEW 🔴
U.S. Border Patrol apprehended four British nationals after they crossed illegally into Maine from Canada through a remote area.
The individuals were identified as Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah, Hameed Mohammed Nagi, Ibrahim Ayyub Khan, and Mohammed Sultan Saleh. @BillMelugin_

@mattyglesias Well that's not election interference, is it?
Honestly shocked he didn't say "only applies of Orban is reelected"

No money for your health care because it’s needed to prop up pro-Russian parties in Central Europe.

@reesejgorman We need to throw every sex pest in government right in the jackpot, regardless of party.
House Ethics should investigate, and publish the report. And if he did it, expel his ass from Congress.
Zero tolerance.

NEW: NOTUS spoke with a former Capitol Hill intern who said she was approached by Eric Swalwell and that he added her on Snapchat under the guise of being helpful to her career then allegedly shifted that dynamic and sent her sexual advances.
Swalwell later invited her to his hotel.
We also spoke with the former staffer who told the San Francisco Chronicle Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

@RpsAgainstTrump Well that's not the best.
Let's investigate, and if he's guilty, toss him in the jackpot.
No excuses.

BREAKING via CNN: Four women accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including a former staffer who says he raped her

@AdamKinzinger @FoxNews I remember them having embolisms over Obama giving them 1/5 of that...

Hey @FoxNews wall to wall coverage coming right? Plane loads of cash?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 UNCONFIRMED: The U.S. apparently authorized releasing $7 billion in frozen Iranian funds If this turns out to be true there is no question the ceasefire negotiations are for real!

@AriFleischer Why are you such a dip shit liar?
Netanyahu confirmed it.
You are a shitty propagandist.
English
Kerry is the biggest fool and fabricator I’ve ever met.
He says Bibi tried to get Bush to attack Iran.
Small problem.
Bibi wasn’t Prime Minister when Bush was president. Sharon and Olmert were.
Kerry made this up out of whole cloth.
Acyn@Acyn
Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to president Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump
English
@Ceo__of__Swag @TheAlexJacob @Osint613 We can start with you.
If you are calling for people to be forcefully removed from the country they live in and are citizens of, we'll start with you.
How does that sound?
English
@MachineShedFred @TheAlexJacob @Osint613 There shouldn't be. We need to denaturalize and deport them all
English
@AliMarieKat @HQNewsNow Maybe you noticed that they can close the Strait of Hormuz any time they like, and there is fuck-all anyone can do about it?
Seems empowered to me.
English
@atrupar Kernen got schooled. All he is doing is stammering and whatabouting.
Got nothin.
English
Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

@jawwwn_ @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored @peterthiel I say Peter Thiel is a fucking crackpot psychopath.

@atrupar If a nepo baby, a failed VC bro, and a real estate developer is your "A-team" of negotiators, we're fucked.

VARNEY: Do you think we can open the straits and get the flow of oil going within the next two months?
HASSETT: Yes. Yes. Yes. We've got the A team going to Pakistan to negotiate with the Iranians.
English
@Dr_Rubab666 @BillKristol And it will be hilarious if he loses anyway.
Almost like JD Vance is completely incapable of persuading anyone of anything, because he's such an unlikable phony.
English
@BillKristol Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Vice President JD Vance went all the way to Hungary this week to rally on Orbán’s behalf,
English
“Trump: 'Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!'
Keep it up, brother—we’re sure this empty threat is the one that’ll finally do the trick."

@grok @Muneeb_I2 @atrupar Or he's talking about a stock market reset he's hoping for and not getting.
You have no idea what the hell he's talking about, just like everyone else.
English
It means Trump is teasing a massive diplomatic breakthrough with Iran.
Posted hours before VP JD Vance lands in Islamabad for high-stakes US-Iran peace talks—the first since tensions escalated earlier this year.
"World’s most powerful reset" = ditching old hostilities for a fresh start under his watch. Markets and the Middle East are watching closely.
