You know, I was curious about this and ran the numbers. You’re absolutely correct.

The initial 3 shipments he’s talking about are 1.8mil tons, assuming short tons which is the US value, that’s equivalent to 518.5 million gallons of diesel fuel. According to eia.gov, the US consumed approximately 123 million gallons of diesel per day in 2025.

So, he’s literally talking about enough diesel to get us by for about a week. Not sure it will have much effect, if it’s even going to happen.

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps a side benefit of blaming Ukraine for high prices to deflect blame away from Israel’s genocidal ambitions in the ME.

I dunno, Trump’s a true idiot, most of what he does makes no sense.

You see, it’s only antisemitism if you criticize the Israeli nation state’s genocidal land grabs. Hating Jews in general is A-OK.

+1 for ntfy it’s great. I’m using their free servers though and it just routes my curl’d alerts to the phone app. Will have to look into self hosting it that sounds neat, love that you repurposed an old phone for that.

Behold, the driving force behind the Fox News virus: capital interests.

Yeah, and so could Papa New Guinea. Turns out you can say any kind of random bullshit.

Proud of you fellow lemming!

lol yeah dude the shoe throwing incident will forever be hilarious. and you’ve gotta hand it to Dubya, at least he was spry enough to see it coming and duck out of the way in time.

Dubya was supposed to be the dumbest president ever. Trump is so much worse, and happened so quickly after W’s term. It’s a bit shocking until you realize who actually wields the levers of power in American government: the rich/corporations. They control it all, including for whom we get to “vote” in the first place. POTUS being a useful idiot is quite beneficial for them.

Happy little detour =]

Terrible idea for a jobs program to begin with. Security theatre, always has been. Just do away with the whole thing and go back to regular old metal detectors, it’s proven more effective and far more affordable ($40T debt and rising thanks to no tax only spend repugnantcon policy).

Bibi said no, simple as.

“Option” - lmao, already providing themselves cover to do nothing. Dems are so beyond pathetic.

Dems are turning what should have been a blue tsunami this year into a tepid blue wave with all the left-bashing they’re engaged in, and this is in the face of a pure and unadulterated fascist regime. They’re totally clueless on how to meet this moment.

By the time they’re done doing worse than jack shit over the next 2 years, Repugs will be back to winning elections.

The 2 party system and the delusion of checks and balances have failed this country beyond reason. Those who claim to represent us are torn between doing the bidding of oligarchs, or foreign countries’ governments, while our people are left suffering and robbed of our very dignity.

Well and truly disgustipated.

One does not simply declare bankruptcy 6 times by “learning how to run a business” sweaty

Private equity attempting to capture profits. Much harder to do with renewables.

Just wait until BRICS becomes the new petro dollar. After that, all bets are off.

You know, Congress could change this with a single vote if they weren’t such corrupt sacks of shit.

Get a load of this guy, can’t even make NY housing affordable inside a year!

We look forwards, not backwards.

This is how you doom your country to repeat history, or worse…

lmao how many audits have they just straight up failed to complete? 8 years in a row if I’m not mistaken. This just reeks of Dem-bare-minimum with 0 meaningful results anticipated. So obnoxious.
