WTF is wrong with you? What Dem has praised Iranian suppression of women and gays? Cite specifics.


What Dem has condemned Islamic oppression of women?


and gays?


Basically ever progressive I know has condemned Saudiia Arabia and avoids places like Dubai as well. Condemning Iran is kind of pointless….they are clearly an awful regime and don’t give a crap what we say about them so what’s the point?

The idiocy part of it is Trump attacking EVs, renewable energy, fuel efficiency standards, keeping us dependent on oil, including a lot of foreign oil.

WE NEED TO GET OFF OF OIL AS A FUEL. Period. Use it for lubricants and other things but it's stupid for us to be as dependent as we are on critical infrastructure. This even affects people who don't have cars because so much of our goods are shipped around the country via long haul diesel trucks instead of electric trains and other means. We should have made the pivot decades ago but instead we have been systematically lied to with literal billions poured into disinfo undermining renewables from the fossil fuel industry.

I guess Iran said that if Israel/USA are going to frack up their infrastructure and oil economy with the support of Arab countries, some of them will feel some similar pain. Interesting how hard they are going after the UAE, first the hotel, the port and now oil tanker. I found this political comic is interesting for how some in the region are feeling.

How is the futures stock market looking? They were bragging about the dow breaking 50,000 except that already receded due to a crappy PPI inflation report Friday plus was already lower after Trump doubled down on tariffs after the SC decision.

The US is BLEEDING jobs under Trump. And now it will get worse.


Well, oil is up lmao

“Oil is currently vertical. We are seeing +15% moves in over-the-counter (OTC) trading as the Strait of Hormuz effectively turns into a no go zone. Experts are already whispering about $100/barrel by tomorrow morning. Your wallet is going to feel this before the sun comes up.”


At least winter is ending so we won’t see elderly people in the northern states freezing in their homes.

Sounds just like Pete Hegseth. The drunk would fit right in with Iranian leadership


So would a lot of maga.


I’m tired of Jews using the women and gays argument to shame Arabs when their own country is slowly sinking into theocracy with same extremism and even worse toward women and gays. The ultra far right are reproducing 6x times as much as secular Israelis. There are already buses in Israel that only serve men not women and rules against women that have begun. Netanyahu is a curse on their country and they don’t realize they’re slipping into autocratic theocracy like the countries they marginalize

I’m in my 50s. I remember lots of people saying this in the late 70s after the Iranian revolution and the opec stuff left us all sitting there with lights off and warm cardigans and gas lines. I also remember people saying it after 9/11 when it became clear our gas money had funded our own attack. It is constantly amazing to me that republicans aren’t concerned about this as a national security issue. I feel like the majority of my life has been spent in a stupid merry go round on this issue where we end up in exactly the same place — still dependent on middle eastern oil instead of figuring out a sustainable way to make our own energy.

Also, doesn’t this all help Russia? It probably just gave them enough economic juice to continue on ….


Yes, I was explaining this yesterday. If the war is short-lived, it will be fine. The truth of the matter is, Iran cannot defy all their neighbors plus Israel plus the US all at the same time. It's in a bind, because the only cards it can play are cards that hurt its immediate neighbors, who have oil to move in the Persian Gulf. How badly is each neighboring country going to react? We don't know yet. But if the conflict drags on and the straights of Hormuz stay unsafe for months on end... Russia might get enough of a boost to make the difference in Ukraine.

I don’t think they even need komoromot on Trump. He’s such a weak addled individual that it just takes someone saying the right things and flattering him to get him to do stuff. He’s very child like in that way. It’s why he flips around positions so much.

Their women don’t feel oppressed. Who are we to tell someone they’re oppressing women? America won’t even elect a woman president
And ignores sex trafficking of young girls happening right here in the US





A whole lot of women in Iran do not want to wear the hajab and follow other draconian practices. This is what I mean by turning a blind eye!

Israel Police rescue two female IDF soldiers chased by ultra-Orthodox mob in Bnei Brak

Two female soldiers were rescued from a haredi (ultra-Orthodox) mob in Bnei Brak by Israel Police, police said in a Sunday afternoon statement.

“A report was received about a gathering of a small group of lawbreakers on Hagai Street in Bnei Brak, who had surrounded two female soldiers after they arrived to conduct a welfare activity as part of their service in the IDF,” the police said.

Officers from the Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan stations arrived on scene to escort the soldiers to safety, police said, noting that as forces arrived on scene, the mob began “confronting the officers and throwing trash bins into the path of the patrol vehicle.”

According to footage circulating on social media, the mob flipped over a car during its chase, and continued to follow the soldiers as police escorted them further away and around a corner to safety.

When will you republicans condemn Israel for its record on gays, women, etc. Oh that’s right never. Rule for thee no rule for me!


“Progressives” condemn Israel for human rights violations but turn a blind eye to Islamic violation of human rights. That is why I say “progressives” in quotes.

Hitting oil fields isn’t just hitting at their neighbors. Oil is the center of the global economy. The house of cards falls once gas prices rise which means grocery prices rise, electricity prices rise, the price to commute to work or airline. travel prices rise, consumer spending dips when gas prices skyrocket, market confidence shakes. We saw this tailspin before with the Iraq war in 2008 oil crisis. Remember when gas was 5 dollars a gallon and then suddenly people stopped spending like crazy, then the market crash happened? This is all connected

The double standard is hilarious. How many, women, children, LGBTQ people has Israel killed since 2023? Likely very well beyond a hundred thousand in total during that time period. And Israeli supporters claim to have the moral high ground

Because we give them billions and billions of dollars a year, sacrificing our own quality of life, and sacrificing the lives of our own war fighters.

The real question is, are you stupid or a troll?

They also align with Christian evangelicals like mike huckabee who are very anti gay so it does not make any sense

Trump enriched himself with a huge investment from UAE into his World Liberty Foundation a few days before his inauguration, then provided them with chips once elected in a massive quid pro quo scheme that should have him impeached.

Complete silence from the Republicans who wailed on aboot the Biden family and Hunter Biden.
