Oil is not up because of just the war. It’s because Trump has been bat shit crazy in how he has been talking and has made no effort to lay the case out logically.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

Gas just went to 5 bux a gallon , I can't afford my prescription meds, but at least we don't have to worry about Iran attacking Israel! Big weight off of my mind.

#ETTD It’s just amazing that the only area of expertise that Trump possessed was the ability to select the most stupid, incompetent creatures to help him destroy the planet. Problem is, Donnie doesn’t worry about being scrutinized or held accountable as he’s had the media covering for him.

It is very logical he is hiding behind war to seize their natural resources, just like he did in Venezuela. He wants to own the oil market. Side benefit his Big Oil donors strike gold.

Sorry but is not Trump (the aged failed casino owner and convicted felon and Epstein's pal) is the U.S. President; you guys can't avoid your quote of responsibility as members of society who put him is charge with unitary executive powers (and more).

I don't understand how it works. How can GAS go up a day after Iran WAR, not oil, GAS? Don't oil companies have storage tanks, reserves?? How can it go up within 24 hours. Someone please explain? GAS stations already had their gas delivered weeks or a month before the WAR???

I hope Ukraine continues to blow up the shadow fleet. And I hope this encourages EU countries to seize them and confiscate their shipment. I don’t care if I am paying $20/gal as long as I know Putin is losing.

The Dems need to attach strings to the request for $500B to fight tRumps war…..it has to be paid for by taxing the rich. No more wars funded by our outrageous national debt .

He lies about everything. Before he became potus he was living in constant fear of going to jail for all his financial and sex crimes. He was facing life in prison, so he ran for office as cover.

The world may have finally awoken to the startling conclusion that Trump really is not merely a narcissistic buffoon, but really is dangerously bat-shit crazy!

Benjamin Netanyahu not only got Donald Trump to start a war with Iran he got Donald Trump to tank the economy of the United States. Netanyahu is laughing as world starts exploding!

A crazy man is president, and everyone in the world knows it except his cult at home. If it were not for military power, America would be nothing - an irrelevant afterthought on the world stage. All we’re known for now is fucking up everything.

Look up 'Cheques and Balances' congressman. You have put a maniac in charge. There are no controls. THERE IS NO REMEDY. 'America' still needs Cs & Bs, even after you gamed the last perfectly useful version. Don't fuck it up AGAIN. <- the new US motto?

The new Iranian Supreme Leader is more of a hard liner than his father, and the United States/Israel just killed his wife in air strikes. How fucked are we now?? HAVE CASH ON HAND FOLKS. CYBER ATTACKS ARE COMING.

Well, his case isn’t too logical, but it’s pretty clear: DRILL BABY DRILL combined with BOMB THE HELL OUT OF ‘EM and TAKE THEIR OIL

Ya know, the dude really is “bat shit crazy” and not in the “Oh that crazy guy, he’s so crazy” sense but as in he’s a goddam psychopath who is clinically insane! The Republicans, by propping this guy up, are beyond evil.

Indeed. Regime change or nuclear capabilities? The story changes with the wind. And, he always lies. No credibility. Remember when he said dogs and cats were being eaten in Ohio? 😳 Bat shit crazy.

There are many reasons Epstein Evangelicals Oil-igarchs Legacy Netanyahu Megalomania Dementia Self enrichment One thing is for certain it’s never to help the Iranian people

Why are prices going up? Trump said: - we are pumping more oil in ameriKKKas history. - he is "taking" 5 million gallons a month from Venezuela - now that he's invaded Iran, he will surely take their oil too 🙄🙄🙄🙄 #maga #morons

America: We can’t have an 80 year old man in failing health lead the nation! How can we possibly trust his judgment?! Also America: *Elects 80 year old man in visibly failing health who cannot form a coherent sentence*

Everything he does is to line his pockets and family pockets with cash. It is that simple, follow the money and we will understand why Americans will now die to line the trump family pockets. Remember he controls sales of oil in Venezuela in an off shore account he controls.

Oil is up because the whole point of the War is to restrict the supply of Oil and raise prices. Releasing Putin from sanctions as well so he can profit from the higher prices.

Of course there is a logic to it. USA replaces Maduro in VZ get access to oilfields. Not economical below 95 a barrel. Starts war in middle east, oil supplies dry up oil goes up to $100 a barrel. Venezuela oil is now economical and profitable with a compliant replacement leader. Money is the reason

Because he can't!! The man is mentally challenged so Miller and others are making the decisions. He needs to be impeached because he is incapable of making decisions. When is someone actually going to speak the truth??

There is no case to be made. A madman started a war for....What? People are dying on both sides, the madman is having the time of his life, and America slides further down the abyss of shitholedom. What sort of case can be made for that!?😤

@adamkinzinger.substack.com 🙄So you’re saying that if fELON47 made a “logical case” for doing 🇮🇱’s bidding by destroying 🇮🇷 ,which theocratic zealot 🇺🇸 military commanders are calling literal fucking Armageddon to force God‘s hand & make jeezus return…then the 💲of⛽️ wouldn’t be *as* high?!😳

ARE WE GREAT YET? Motivated ignorance? Normalization bias? The cult of Trump? The cult of I-hate-Dems? News and politics avoidance? As his choices explode, Abroad and at home, I struggle to make sense Of the person who says, “But he’s done so much good,” Without irony or pretense. By Mimi Rosen

And because while Trump dicked around this past year and a half, he didn't bother to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve which cushioned the blow from Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. His administration is just a gang of fu*king morons.

Yeah, that shows how this administration doesn't engage in any planning. If you are thinking about going to war with Iran, which I'm guessing they have for awhile, logically you would want to fill out the SPR before you do it.

Adam, you may be making a good argument, but yes, it is up because of the war. A huge refinery in Iran was just exploded and nobody can get oil through the straight of hormuz.

Same reason the markets are tanking. At some point, a reasonable person MUST see he is doing everything for Putin. Trump’s war for irrelevant and reversible regime change is convenient to Putin because it keeps the US from helping the Ukraine with munitions. Trump’s shooting the entire wad.

He doesn't plan on bringing those oil prices down until he gets to choose a new Iranian leader so this way he could can cut an oil deal with whoever he chooses to put into power just like he didn't Venezuela you think he's doing this for nothing

When the stock market opens this morning Iran will destroy the energy infrastructure in the Middle East ,all of it buy an e bike a gas can a Honda 110 motorbike you will need all three ,drive 55 baby been there done that hot the t shirt no Christmas lights either the depression starts now

The war is stupid Adam. I grew up hating Iran since the hostage crisis. I am an avowed zionist and hawkish when it comes to Israel’s defense. But Iran was contained and a deal would have further contained them. This war will harden Iran. And 7 Americans are dead. A very stupid costly war.
