Reposted by drewsgoodbleetsNicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.” 19645208

Impeachment is the leverage. Do one every month on a new set of charges, he's done well over 24 months of impeachable stuff.
