Putting an establishment billionaire in didn't reduce corporate influence.

It just cut out the middleman for them.

Every time you hear somebody say they want somebody to run the government like a business, remember that is the rhetoric meant to get you to accept them taking as much as they can from you while giving you as little as possible in return.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there, Internet people.

It's Belle again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump and Iran, ultimatums, and chicken and waffles.

Escalating ultimatums started on Saturday evening.

Trump posted to social media.

If Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

President Donald J. Trump

International experts sighed because the general consensus is that Iran was unlikely to back down and that Trump's claim was likely to escalate the situation.

Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts said, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, so he is threatening to attack Iran's civil power plants.

This would be a war crime.

We've gotten a bunch of questions about whether hitting power plants is a war crime.

Like most things when it comes to the subject, the answer is it depends.

Hitting power plants can be inbounds in some circumstances.

However, it's unlikely that Trump will follow those rules given his lack of respect for the troops or international law.
