Vance Admits Trump Is Committing Economic Terrorism

Tuesday, April 14, 2026

JD Vance: "When it comes to weapons of war, what they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world. They basically threatened any ship that's moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Well, as the president of United States showed, can play at that game. And if the Iranians are going to try to engage in economic terrorism, we're going to abide by a simple principle that no Iranian ships are getting out either."

"This is pathetic." Bill Kristol reacts to Vice President JD Vance saying that a tit for tat brawl over economic terrorism will become the administration's priority, over reopening the Strait of Hormutz.

JayVee, apparently a Yale nod to some sort of tokenism, usually pontificates so long and at what he so wants us to know is truly astonishing altitude that - having self-hypnotized to the sound of his own voice - he just might accidentally let the cat (and the dog, both eaten) out of the bag. Basically, comes across as a pompous arse.

We started the fire and now we are trying to profit from denying any firefighters entrance to the fire...
We murdered over 80 Iranians as they met, at our request, to try and work out a negotiated agreement like the one President Obama had...before Trump tore it up. We started a war of aggression and that is what the history books are going to say.

Well....no ----.

The orange chomo painted himself into a corner listening to the idiot Keghead saying it would be an easy win.

After a lifetime of having other people bail him out of his mistakes, he has no ability to think about consequences or imagine less than favorable outcomes.

Now he demands NATO help him get his nuts out of the wringer and when they refuse he explodes in tirades and heads to golf and attend UFC fights.

What an absolute moron you guys elected.

He wasn't happy enough killing hundreds of thousands in his first term here, he now has to export his incompetence around the globe.

We live the absolute stupidest timeline.

Der Dotard is struggling to get the Iranians to split a portion of their tolls for passage through the Straight of Hormuz. No way the clerics are going to let a fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat take a portion of their money, especially when the recipient is the worst kind of infidel--one who worships only himself and money...

*** Russian FM Sergei Lavrov Defies Dummkopf Trumpf Over Iran's Uranium ***

Russia FM Sergey Lavrov said that Iran has an "inalienable" right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes during a state visit to China.

"The right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is an inalienable right of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Lavrov said during a Tuesday press conference following a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Access to said uranium has been a hard line for US President Dummkopf Trumpf in ongoing peace negotiations with Iran.

"There will be no enrichment of Uranium," Trumpf wrote in an 8 April post on Truth Social, adding that the US would be working with Iran to dig up all remaining nuclear materials in the country to ensure the Islamic Republic would not have access to any uranium."

None of the idiot Trumpers have bothered showing up yet to explain this away ...

Waiting for chain email talking points, I guess?

@#11 ... Is Trump a king? ...

You need to ask him of that.

The graphic you supply is not one that shows how he views himself.

Rcade, I get it that you need/want this place to make money.

But can you please get rid of the sh*&ty ads that slide up to take over most of the screen or that cover the entire window? They're annoying as f*&^.

I have some difficulty understanding how so many people fail to see that Trump is a war criminal. I kind of understand that there is a cult mentality behind most of his supporters. But how is there such a delusional and mentally ill failure to perceive all the evil, crime, and blasphemy he has committed his entire life and continues to so even now.

Trumpers believe Trump was sent here by G-d.

Either you think that's stupid, or you're a Trumper.

Trump a mere "king"?!?
Why, He's MAGA Jesus.

Trump is a pedophile.

If he's your king, that's because either you're also a pedophile or because you don't find anything wrong with adults raping children.

Based on how many Trump supporters turn out to be pedophiles, it's safe to assume it's the former.

"If he's your king, that's because either you're also a pedophile or because you don't find anything wrong with adults raping children."

Christians see no Biblical prohibition on men taking children for their pleasure.

Thomas Jefferson took twelve year old Sally Hemings as his concubine.

The Bible is chock full of great men like Thomas Jefferson.

I have some difficulty understanding how so many people fail to see that Trump is a war criminal.

Because if you watch Fox News, you believe Trump is successfully saving the world from Iran.

Unfortunately over the past few years, Trump and his billionaire buddies have either silenced or bought most of the mainstream media in this country.

It's like asking how so many North Koreans believe Kim Jong-un is their God.

It's brainwash.

We have MAGAts claiming Trump is God.

We have Trump claiming that he's God.

He still has another two years to completely destroy this nation.

The Bible is chock full of pedophiles.

We wouldn't have Jesus if God didn't rape 12 year old Mary.

"Pre-Christian marriage ages, particularly in Roman times, often saw girls marrying young (ages 12"15) to older men, while early Christian era practices gradually shifted this toward the late teens or early twenties for women.

Both eras recognized puberty as the minimum, but Christian tradition increasingly emphasized emotional and physical maturity."

Ya'll may be referring to Fake Christians, which there is seemingly no lack of.

Although DJT is currently losing even some of those... not BillJohnson, of course, but some others.
