Much like Macron and France, never Trumpers/DNC/leftists/socialists/communists have been reduced to hoping there is no regime change in Iran the next 18-24 months.

China imports US oil for Asian fuel markets amid Hormuz crisis
@asiatimesonline
https://asiatimes.com/2026/04/china-impo...uz-crisis/
China is moving to resume large-scale purchases of United States liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil, as supply disruptions in the Middle East and tightening fuel markets across Asia force Beijing to recalibrate its energy strategy.
In return, China will have sufficient fuel supply to resume gasoline exports to Asian countries, helping it maintain market share and increase political influence in the region amid tightening fuel supplies. On March 11, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) ordered a halt to exports of gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel.
The resumption of China's purchases of US crude oil and LNG appears to reflect limited strategic flexibility for Beijing, as disruptions to supplies from Venezuela and the Middle East constrain its options.
He adds that China’s decision to resume large-scale energy purchases from the US comes ahead of a planned leaders’ meeting between Beijing and Washington in May, and that the deal helps create a more constructive atmosphere for high-level dialogue.

Democrats are telling U.S. troops to REFUSE ORDERS because destroying power plants is a war crime. Let's go back in time.
- Serbia's power grid: Destroyed by Bill Clinton
- North Vietnam's power grid: Destroyed by Lyndon B. Johnson
- Iraq's power grid: Bush Sr.
Nobody wants
Thought for 14s
The post from @TheSCIF
accuses Democrats of hypocrisy for urging US troops to refuse orders to destroy Iranian power plants as war crimes, citing precedents: Bill Clinton's 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia's grid, LBJ's strikes on North Vietnam during Rolling Thunder, and Bush Sr.'s 1991 destruction of Iraq's electrical infrastructure.
It arises amid April 2026 US-Iran escalation, where Trump threatened infrastructure strikes to force Strait of Hormuz reopening and curb nuclear efforts, prompting Democratic senators like Jeff Merkley to publicly tell troops to disobey "unlawful orders" targeting civilian-linked targets.
The attached video is a Fox News Jesse Watters segment echoing the post, using news clips to contrast Democratic criticism with historical US military actions and argue that such targeting weakens enemy regimes while adhering to proportionality in warfare.

Can we not belittle the fucking fence?
The fence is rather superpositional with Trump.
President WTF really likes both sides of his mouth. And as much as one can support the eradication of a 47 year pest infestation, I am pretty sure he contradicts every statement made with every subsequent statement made...
Like... If this war is already won, or "ending soon," then why the fuck do we need to deploy yet another carrier strike group to the region?
Meanwhile, His patriarchal parrot Petey is more concerned with proselytizing Christ-Warrior bullshit and taking away female promotions, then he is instilling any confidence he actually listens to his old guard generals and admirals - or knows what the fuck he's doing.
While I like we finally just got (Iran) the hell over with, I have very little confidence is our war council "Department of War" to make wise strategic decisions.
Their initial plan was like that of "Underpants Gnomes."
1. Shock and Awe
2. ???
3. Victory Angels!
This really makes me feel more one with Israel. I feel like I am in that same limbo of liking the idea of it all, but not at all trusting the people leading it.
Like all the Israelis that supported the war in Gaza but still wanted Bibi to step down and go away forever.. Many Israelis hold those two simultaneously.
And that's why we mustn't shit on the fence sitting.
You dont even have to be consistent anymore anyway.
Our Leader doesn't have to.. He can say whatever, walk it back, say something new, revert, reassert, wag the dog, go another direction, stop, pivot, kick ball change go!
If there's a fence, it keeps getting moved every other hour, and everyone has to run to the new fence location to take positions around it.
It gets tiresome.

You could write for Jon Stewart, seriously
Respectfully, if Trump bothers and befuddles you this much, think about how bugchit he must be driving the Iranians
War is never certain to begin with... and my mantra all along is don't listen to OMB, seriously. Virtually any other source from the administration is better. Keep your eyes on the prize, a free Iran allied with America, no more Hormuz being held hostage, a real chance at a better life for 40 million women
The madness has become a bit of his method FWIW....
Quote:Madman theory
The madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.
The premise of madman...
Mumblings of regime collapse in multiple areas outside Tehran. Rumors of fortress Tehran, the dwindling regime barely leaves thier bunkers, they need security teams, and thats just a big bullseye for allied air superiority.
Sweat them out of thier holes and let the new regime see the old regime come scurrying out into the sunlight

Quote:What Congress Must Do to Impeach and Remove the President.Removing a sitting president requires a two-stage process split between the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the Constitution setting a deliberately high bar: two-thirds of the senators present must vote to convict. Three presidents have been impeached by the House, but none has ever been convicted or removed by the Senate. The entire process is political rather than criminal, and federal courts have no power to review or overturn the result.
Grounds for ImpeachmentArticle II, Section 4 of the Constitution states that a president can be removed for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”[sup][url=javascript:void(0)]1[/url][/sup] Treason and bribery have established legal definitions, but “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” is intentionally broad. The phrase does not require an actual violation of criminal law.
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, George Mason proposed adding “maladministration” as an impeachable offense. James Madison objected, arguing the term was so vague it would effectively let the Senate fire a president over policy disagreements. Mason withdrew the word and substituted “other high crimes and misdemeanors” instead. That choice gave Congress wide discretion while still signaling that the conduct must be serious.
In practice, Congress has treated the standard as covering abuses of presidential power, betrayals of public trust, and conduct fundamentally incompatible with the office. Historical precedents from impeachments of federal judges include appearing on the bench while intoxicated, letting partisan bias influence rulings, and obstructing the administration of justice.[sup][url=javascript:void(0)]2[/url][/sup] None of those are necessarily criminal acts, but all were judged serious enough to warrant removal.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...e-overview
Quote:ArtII.S4.1.1 Impeachment and Removal from Office: Overview
Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the President,1 Vice President, and all federal “civil officers” for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.2 This tool was inherited from English practice, in which Parliament impeached and convicted ministers and favorites of the Crown in a struggle for to rein in the Crown's power. Congress's power of impeachment is an important check on the executive and judicial branches, recognized by the Framers as a crucial tool for holding government officers accountable for violations of the law and abuses of power.3 Congress has most notably employed the impeachment tool against the President and federal judges, but all federal civil officers are subject to removal by impeachment.4 The practice of impeachment makes clear, however, that Members of Congress are not civil officers subject to impeachment and removal.5
While judicial precedents inform the effective substantive meaning of various provisions of the Constitution, impeachment is at bottom a unique political process largely unchecked by the judiciary. While the meaning of treason and bribery is relatively clear, the scope of high crimes and misdemeanors lacks a formal definition and has been fleshed out over time, in a manner perhaps analogous to the common law, through the practice of impeachments in the United States Congress.6 The type of behavior that qualifies as impeachable conduct, and the circumstances in which impeachment is an appropriate remedy for such actions, are thus determined by, among other things, competing political interests, changing institutional relationships among the three branches of government, and legislators' interaction with and accountability to the public.7 The weight of historical practice, rather than judicial precedent, is thus central to understanding the nature of impeachment in the United States.
