I mean how is this legal or ethical....do our allies need to pay for the faster service so they can get tweets faster?
At least we will know the TACO when oil prices start crashing.

Gonna have to fork over a 100k a month to be in the know.
Shin can do better than this. It’s guerilla not gorilla. I assume we’re not talking about apes lol.
President is thinking of a TACO instead of pizza.

As of Aug 1.. the US military, in the conflict with Iran has expended…
65% of our Patriot missile inventory
40% of our THAAD missile inventory
30% of our Tomahawk Cruise missile inventory
25% of our JASSM missile inventory
This has happened in only 5 months.
A year ago we were told their nuclear program was eliminated.
4 months ago, we were told Iran’s missile capabilities were functionally destroyed and the US had exceeded all of it’s military objectives and had achieved a “total and complete victory”
So why are we still there? Why are we still expending our missiles on a defeated enemy when our stockpiles are running out? China, Russia, and DPRK all know we are in a very vulnerable military position with our depleted munitions

Like clockwork, the Hyperliquid crude oil contract dropped ~$2 since around the time of this urging for Trump to de-escalate.
Note that DT admires the leaders of all 3 of these countries. I’m not typically a conspiracy theory kind of poster. And I don’t think this is a conspiracy. But is it possible that this isn’t a coincidence?
DT posted this at 10:05PM ET. Check out what happened to Hyperliquid crude oil immediately afterward, a $3 drop to <$83!! That alone may have made the $100K monthly fee for Truth API worth it! @Downeastnc

Its comical at this point....
After the first plunge, trading came to a standstill from 10:10PM-11PM ET for an unknown reason (circuit breaker halt??). Then it started trading again and immediately plunged another $1.70 to $80.713! This is insane and we can now see it happening in realtime over the weekend thanks to this new exchange:

I don't pretend to know much about global oil markets and price mechanisms, but it seems to me it is nothing but manipulation opportunism, and profiteering. Shame on those who are participant.

I know I dont wanna hear oil companies say they cant afford new refineries......its all just massive wealth distribution.
During Q2 of 2026, profits at Exxon more than doubled, while Chevron’s profits more than quadrupled. But while oil companies are raking in profits, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods warns that US consumers – who have been feeling the pinch of gas prices hovering around $4 per gallon – shouldn’t anticipate relief at the pump anytime soon."I wouldn't hold my breath here in the short term for that," said Woods in a post-earnings conversation with CNBC.
The “Disconnect” at the Gas Pump Even though crude oil prices have retreated from their peak of $126 per barrel earlier in the spring to around $85-$90 per barrel, gasoline prices across the United States remain stubbornly above $4 per gallon .During the July 31 interview, Woods explained that there is a “disconnect” between crude oil prices and what consumers are paying at the gasoline pump, and that this gap is unlikely to close quickly.
The core of his argument centers on global refinery constraints rather than the cost of raw crude itself being the primary driver of elevated fuel prices.

Politics for me has shifted from social issues to an "us vs them" corporate/rich fight. They have their feet on our heads as we try stay afloat all while corporate profits skyrocket.
Remember when trump made big oil big promises
Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say - POLITICO https://share.google/okFL6iqsSZaaRECvR

This doesn’t make sense to me because the classic definition of Zionism is simply to be in favor of a Jewish majority state as a safe haven for Jews after many centuries of exile and violence against them. So, how could these Jewish residents of this neighborhood in Jerusalem be anti-Zionist? That means being against the existence of the country they live in! Zionism shouldn’t be considered a bad thing in itself assuming one isn’t anti-Semitic.
Now as far as the Bibi coalition’s way overly aggressive Gazan war tactics (imho) are concerned: if that’s what they oppose, that’s different. I also have opposed them strongly. That’s like someone being strongly against Trump policies. That doesn’t make them anti-American.
Do others here follow what I’m saying?

My brain hurts
Crude futures are still <$80, which is indicative of believing the gist of what DT’s saying.
