A very surface level observation/misunderstanding, proving your point accidentally. Someone smarter could look at the level of "discourse" in CVON and realize we were cooked long ago. Most of these super duper smarty pants guys are contributing to the downfall but they dont know it.

You make perhaps the best point of the thread.

Iran closed the Strait.

With the navy a-hole like the stories at the time were suggesting. Idiot says the guy who said he can't wait for Americans to die so he can say boot licker.

No one was talking about the Navy except you, Hegseth, Trump, and some other MAGA influencer idiot that you follow.

No, seriously. You are dangerously stupid in just about every subject you discuss. How is it possible to be this uninformed?

Paul, Hazelton is spot on. The fact I jumped into here to talk to literally deranged and insane people was my fault. I'm going to fix that. You call can go back to your TDS circle jerk

Now there's a guy who is known for being right.

How do they "physically” close it? Do they install a wall? What an idiot. 🤣

Iran didn't close it. We didn't blow up the girls school. Dr. Philly doesn't prance through flowers with his saggy ass flapping out for all to see.

He has a monopoly on all the worst takes.

They put a sign that says "CLOSED" right in the middle. Duh.

Maybe a few traffic cones for good measure.

It's good company vs deranged and insane America haters

Who was it that negotiated with the Taliban without letting Afghanistan in on the talks? Who was it that released 5000 Taliban POWs? Who was it that invited the Taliban to Camp D?

I'm going to test this theory with Gemini

Q: Does DrPhilly, who many people say is a huge flower lover, tip toes through tulips? If so, is it possible he is wearing leather chaps while he frolics like a little dandy?

A: While there isn’t a public figure famously known as "DrPhilly" (you might be blending the colorful personality of Dr. Phil with the city of Brotherly Love), the mental image you've conjured is certainly... vivid.

If we are talking about a hypothetical "DrPhilly" who loves flowers, here is how that scene likely plays out:

The Frolic Forecast

The Gait: To "tip toe" through tulips is a classic move, though quite difficult in leather chaps. Chaps are designed for protection while riding horses or motorcycles; they aren't exactly known for their aerodynamic "frolicking" properties.

The Attire: Wearing leather chaps while acting like a "little dandy" creates a bold fashion juxtaposition. You’re essentially mixing 18th-century ornamental flair with rugged frontier gear.

The Risk Factor: From a botanical perspective, frolicking in a tulip field while wearing heavy leather is a high-risk activity for the flowers. Tulips have notoriously fragile stems—one misplaced step in a heavy boot and that garden becomes a salad.

The Reality Check

If you are actually thinking of Dr. Phil McGraw, he is generally more associated with "telling it like it is" on a soundstage than prancing through the Dutch countryside in equestrian gear. However, the beauty of the internet is that if a "DrPhilly" exists in a specific niche or meme culture, he can wear whatever his heart desires.

Note: If this is a reference to a specific local character or an inside joke I'm missing, he sounds like the life of the party (and a nightmare for the local florist).

Would you like me to generate an image of a dapper fellow in leather chaps frolicking through a field of tulips to see if it matches your vision?

AI gets me

Oh... and here is the image Gemini (Via Nana Bananna 2) made:

It's really weird that he can't find anyone to employ him when he has all these valuable skills, education, and indispensable experience.

Still trying that sad angle, eh? I'm doing just fine as we talked about, but you have such a thing for me since I hit the nail on the head that you are a little guy with a weak body who looks in the mirror and hates himself. Too close to home and it made ya hella made, huh? Good.

You have no understanding of things on this issue like everything else you jump into. Even with the chaos in Iran the world was swimming in oil in part from the US, Brazil, and Venezuela. Do some research and come back. Yeah, it is reacting to the global uncertainty, but he is right it shouldn't be happening. It will go up for a short bit, but then drop again.

No, he is WRONG because he clearly doesn't understand that oil is a global commodity. The fact that the US doesn't get oil from Iran is completely immaterial to the price of gas at US Gas stations. Oil is a GLOBAL COMMODITY. That means the price of oil (per the various types) is largely the same regardless of where that oil is coming from. It gets sold on a GLOBAL MARKET and it's a COMMODITY. The person you quoted, and agreed with, clearly does not understand that.

Cool. I'm pretty much done in here so whatever. Didn't read this but you are right.

"I didn't read your 5 sentence post". I quoted it, and posted a 2 sentence response. But I definitely did NOT read your 5 sentence post that I'm responding to".

And yes, I am right on this because this isn't a subjective discussion based on opinion. It is an objective based discussion based on facts. Oil is a global commodity. The fact that we don't get oil from Iran doesn't mean that the price of gasoline in this country is immune to what is happening in Iran.
