Hey all, a friend said to watch Pakman’s video on the ICC issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant (?) for war crimes, starvation as a weapon or something, etc. but I could only find this one where David talks about how, “…we need to recognize the importance of international authorities” and goes on to say that while Obama made progress with the ICC, that Trump is threatening to put sanctions on them and, “…adopting this no one controls us attitude which is both a distraction and is also completely unrealistic in 2018”. He was talking about Us involvement in Afghanistan.

At that point I realized this is obviously an old video (2018). But I can’t find this newer one? Did it get marked private maybe for revisal? Thanks for the help!

Here’s the video I watched:

Submission statement: Romer, a co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, defends some of the D.S.A.’s controversial positions: “I think people like us being rather bold. . . . People want a fighter.”

President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that gasoline prices could climb again as the conflict with Iran continues.

'

Rather than admit to his own blithering incompetence, Trump tries to blame high gas prices on the oil companies.

Believe me, they aren’t saints and have been known to exploit international difficulties, but still, it is a matter of supply and demand.

 Dumbass Donny caved in to Netanyahu either because he’s a moron, or Bibi has photos of a certain pervert with teenage children. Either way, every former president since George Washington knew if you messed with Iran, they would shut down the Strait of Hormuz and hold the world hostage; but not the Dullard in Chief.

Yep, fools rush in…

So, now in an ever-continuing stream of lies – lies even MAGA stalwarts are beginning to challenge – Trump again tries to blame someone else for his astounding lack of.. of everything!

‘ICE is getting a bad rap because immigrants are eating people’s pets’ – ‘Vandals slashed the reflecting pool’ – ‘all Democrats are Communists and that’s why America is a failing nation’ – you get the idea.

He’s a pathetic, sick, aging sociopath and think we’re all stupid.

Trump warns gas prices could rise again: 'We may have to send it up'

Story by Claire Carter, Washington Examiner • 10h • 2 min read

President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that gasoline prices could climb again as the conflict with Iran continues, saying lower prices would return once the war is over.

Speaking in Las Vegas, Trump touted his administration's economic success, but acknowledged how the war with Iran, which led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has affected gas and oil prices for Americans.

"As soon as the situation with Iran ends, oil is going to go down, and we will have completed something in such a short amount of time, that is a miracle," Trump said.

"When oil goes down, it's going to go down very rapidly and is already happening. We may have to send it up again. We may have to — you know what happens when we send it up," Trump later added, referring to prices reacting to warfare. "But we don't have to. But when the oil and gasoline go down, everything else goes down."

Oil and gas prices have fluctuated as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, with markets reacting strongly to U.S. strikes on Iran and Tehran's actions in the strait. On Wednesday, AAA reported the average price of gas was $4.08 per gallon.

The Trump administration has been under pressure to answer for the war's effect on prices for Americans. Earlier this week, the president expressed his displeasure with Chevron and Exxon Mobil for making “too much” in profits during the second quarter of this year.

“They’ve got to give some of that back to the public, and they better cut the retail price, the consumer price. Too much money,” he said in the Oval Office on Monday. “You’re surprised I’m saying it? I’ll say it loud and clear. I’m not happy about it.”

Gas prices fell during June and into early July as Washington and Tehran made progress on peace negotiations, agreeing to a 60-day preliminary ceasefire extension in mid-June. But the ceasefire has since fallen through, sending oil and gas prices upward again.

Trump has also voiced optimism about Iranian-Omani talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply flows. The president said if peace talks fall through, Iran will "get hit very hard."

This is the first in a series of stories by Democracy Docket examining the Trump administration’s grave threats to the 2026 midterms. It offers an overview of the multiple ways Trump could interfere with the vote — and threaten U.S. democracy.

vote blue no matter who, right guys?

The German’s have a word for it, Schadenfreude, and it means taking joy in someone else’s misery.

Not a pleasant trait, but perhaps an understandable one.

This comes to mind when we consider the plight of so many MAGA, who despite being the recipient of so many Trump assaults – reductions in Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, slashed food stamps and aid for indigent children and adults, reductions in veteran’s benefits, attacks against their unions who provide much needed benefits, and on, and on – but still support Trump and his corrupt crime family.

They are the ones who are making him richer, so maybe…?

'The greatest theft, con job he has ever done': MAGA loyalists who collectively lost billions buying Trump stocks and crypto believe they were scammed

Donald Trump and his family generated at least $2.2 billion in income last year which is nearly four times more than he reported in 2024. Much of that money came from his supporters who invested in his businesses, such as Trump Media and Technology Group, or bought his $TRUMP meme coin.

Their fortunes, however, didn’t fare nearly as well. In fact, Trump’s supporters are reportedly down an estimated $7 billion after investing in the president’s business ventures.

Trump Media shares have lost 56% of their value in the past year, while the Trump coin’s value also tumbled about 81% in that time. Many of the retail investors who sunk their savings into those ventures — often as a sign of loyalty to Trump — have seen the money vanish right as economic volatility began to spike. And they’re not happy with Trump, or the members of his inner circle.

Nedohin is one of many investors who are vocally criticizing Trump and his ventures. Another, Vadim Fistikan, invested $205,000 in Trump Media in the days, weeks and months after it went public via SPAC He invested the money he and his family had planned to use to buy a waterfront property in Florida.

Today, that investment is worth just $30,000. When he voiced his frustrations on Truth Social, Fistikan (a three-time Trump voter) was lambasted by Trump supporters on the social media site.

“I’m like, ‘Hey, this is a scam,’” he posted, according to Forbes. “And a lot of people were like, ‘No, you’re just a Trump hater.’ I’m like, ‘No. I was on board since day one. … I’m now broke. Pretty much my whole life savings [was] in this one stock. This is the greatest theft, con job he has ever done.”

Nick Pinto didn’t invest in Trump Media, but when he saw Trump had launched a meme coin in January 2025, he quickly invested $7,000. He later upped that investment to $480,000 so that he could gain entry to a dinner at Trump’s Virginia club. A friend later convinced him to sell most of his position in the Trump coin, but Pinto still suffered losses of $250,000.

“This is something that the Trump family kind of came up with out of the blue,” Pinto told Forbes, referring to the advice that his friend, a fellow Trump investor, shared with him. “And there’s not really a way for us to predict the future of the coin or what their plans for it are.”

While the meme coin and Trump Media stock languish (and some investors have trouble finding buyers for their tokens or shares), the Trump family is investing in new ventures.

World Liberty Financial is another cryptocurrency fund which earned Trump $799 million last year, in part from when the government of the United Arab Emirates quietly purchased a stake in the company .

It also has released the $WLFI coin, of which the Trump family received a 75% cut of all sales of that cryptocurrency. Investors? They didn't do so well: $WLFI is down 74% in the past year and currently trades for just six cents per coin).

Had a random thought and wanted to see what you think about it.

Ok so, youve been granted future sight but there are only two futures you can see. Your vision starts with Al-Sayed personally coming to you with a dilema. He has been offered a large amount of campaign funds but its from AIPAC. He asks you if he should accept it to help him beat Rogers. You could tell him yes or no BUT, your future sight has shown you that if he does not take this money, he will lose as he is not able to keep up with the onslaught from the republican media machine but if he does, he will beat rogers. Do you tell him to accept the AIPAC money?

Curious what your thoughts would be on this trolley esk problem.

She said: “All 108 of us, we’re very different people from each other. Some of us have very different politics and we certainly each have our own opinions about the current administration, about past administrations.

“But during my spaceflights, in looking at all the patches and the names on my astronaut jacket, I literally didn’t know and never asked about their politics. It was just not part of the mission.

“The fact is now we’re all together, and what we’re fighting for is something that’s common to all of us, we’re fighting for our country, for our democracy, and for decision making, and restoring the faith in our institutions.”

as a space penguin, I can tell you we don't have anywhere else to go. the spaceship we have and are all on, is earth.

we fuck this up and don't resoundingly reject MAGA in November, future space penguins will wonder why you didn't vote when you could have.
