Gas prices in the Seattle area are surging as international conflict in Iran disrupts oil shipments and creates market uncertainty. According to AAA data, the statewide average for a gallon of gas has increased by almost 60 cents over the past month.

The price spike has pushed averages across the Puget Sound region significantly higher. As of Monday morning, average prices were recorded at $4.88 in King County, $4.67 in Snohomish County, and $4.69 in Pierce County, according to AAA.

Gas prices go up and Trump gets richer.  Bibi does ethnic cleansing as 100,000 people have to move out of south Lebanon under threat of Death. U.S. tax dollars are helping it happen.

Trump has to go.  The longer Trump acts out, the more people will die.  As he degrades, Trump's rage becomes ever more random.  Trump's death lottery is coming for you.  This is no joke.  People are going up in smoke.  Six months ago what is happening now was a mad fantasy.  Now as the mad fantasy comes true ask yourself what could be true in six more months.

Are you afraid to stop evil?

Yes....look how well it worked all those other times. Please.

What a school shooting in Iran looks like.

Trump is not worth WWIII even if you like him.

Impeachment still depends on fair elections followed by hearings in both houses of CONgress where a 2/3rds majority votes to pitch him out, followed by him actually accepting the result, or getting the military to forcibly evict him, since the DoJ is stacked with his appointees.  IOW, far from a sure thing.

It isn't the only way either, as Kennedy and Lincoln found out.  While no POTUS has ever been successfully impeached, assassinations have been successful in the past.  This of course would cause its own set of problems so not a great solution either.

In the event impeachment is successful, sending him to the Hague to be put on trial for War Crimes would also be a wise move, to dissuade future POTUSES from following his precedent, as well as restoring global confidence in FSoA adherence to the rule of law.

Any of these outcomes will also have negative consequences.  The lost faith  won't be restored automatically, and polarization will likely increase.  That makes outcomes like Civil War or Secession more likely.

No matter what, we're unlikely to see a return to "normal" as in the FSoA goobermint pre Trump.

Trump isn't worth...anything. Regardless of whether or not someone likes him. But impeachment as effective action is like claiming that if the Titanic could have been saved if the passengers had all picked up water glasses and started  bailing it out by hand.

Unfortunately under the FSoA system it's the only legal method available.  If we had a Parliamentary system, a no-confidence vote for the goobermint could force a new election, but 1st off we don't run that system and 2nd it only works with multiple parties and we only have two viable ones.

Monarchies and Dictatorships are even worse, there your only options are assassinations or Coup d'Etats, which aren't legal unless successful.  If unsuccessful, those trying to eliminate the offending tyrant risk death or imprisonment so they gotta be pretty sure they'll succeed.  That's why so many senators stuck their knives into Caesar.

Given this reality, what would you suggest to remedy the situation?  You have an alternative I haven't thought of?

You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. 

The pen strokes and utterances of a leader have consequences.  There are human heartbeats on the other end of them.  Were there to be  a higher judgment then every life lost by a line item is a life to be answered for.  Regardless of justification.  If there is a judgement, Trump is a crispy critter.

If "winning" the war means we'll have more regular terrorist attacks, less safe shipping & air travel and higher oil & food prices, Trumpoolini's Operation Epic Fail war can definitely be counted as a raging success.  Sadly, noone besides the Mad King himself would use those metrics.

As always, Trumpsky's narrative has little connection to reality, he  merely thinks whatever he says and wants to be true is the truth, and in his own mind once he has said it, it becomes the truth.  In everyone else's mind however, it becomes quite difficult to accept as the truth when bombs continue  exploding and people continue dying after the victory.

The reality is this war has always been even more impossible to "win" than Afghanistan or Vietnam was.  Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of history and geopolitics knows this, but that's irrelevant when you have an ideologically driven moron backed by a loyal following of even stupider MAGAotts running the show.  Terminating his Presidency ASAP at the earliest opportunity is the only chance we have of avoiding WWIII.

I don't think she asked Rubio.

40 years after 1984, George Orwell's Newspeak is in full bloom: Truth is Lies & War is Peace.

Does Pinochio Trump even know what the truth is?  Probably not, I doubt he reads the classified daily updates even if his staff drops them on his desk.  At 2AM when he  drops a Tweet down on Social Media, it's not coming from any report or meeting.  It's just what wants to be true as he squeezes another Turd out his fat ass and into the toilet to match the shit coming off his keyboard and into cyberspace.  The rest of us are swimming in a world awash with Trumpian fecal matter.  It surrounds us all in a fetid, stinking shitpile from which there is no escape.

Replace every Republicrat with a Democan at mid-terms? That would certainly allow impeachment, but more importantly enough of a swing in the Senate to convict this time.

We could be zombies by then.  And there will be thousands, perhaps millions that will certainly be turning to dust.

QuoteThe question isn't whether Trump is clueless about the war in Iran, it's why

Clueless is as clueless does.  If Trump moves against the Kharg Island Iranian oil terminal, then all the terminals in the gulf will burn and nobody gets any oil.  For Iran it will be a smart move because there will be no occupying of Iran by American troops with the world in a global depression.

Anyone who does not know the reason for this warr was to raise oil prices is an idiot.
