Dump Term 2 Part 4: Twilight of the Derps

How it played out:

Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!

The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.

We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution.

 
I was in a focus group for a news network when all this went down. The moderator proposed something like this but framed it as an Iranian win. They asked how we could cheer against America (great framing) and I remarked that on the contrary, he's already declared victory four, five, six times now, so just declare victory again and come home. He likes parades. We can have a big parade.
 
Get ready for pharmaceuticals to go up. I guess those 1700% price drops will be a thing of the past......

Early evidence of the war's lingering impact may show up in pharmaceutical prices, Axios' Peter Sullivan writes.
  • Generic medicines manufactured in India, which can require temperature controls and other complex handling, often fly through Middle East hubs, including Dubai.

Yep, lots of generics now made there, including most of the generic Lipitor prescribed in this country. A medication often fully covered by insurance due to its prophylactic nature.

See also: ACE inhibitors that have been generic for eons now.

That's only a problem if you don't view poor people on medication as expendable. Those who can't afford the new prices can die. That's bipartisan, BTW. Universal health care would be too expensive.
 
The local truck stop here raised their gas from $3.55 to $3.69 overnight. All other stations looked to have stayed at $3.55 since the cease fire announcement. Diesel appears to be around $5.30.

Also, just saw a report the the American Government will start automatically registering male citizens between 18-26 for the draft in December (all males between 18-25 are already required to register). So, they can figure out who is eligible for the draft on their own, but can't figure out who can vote, so everyone has to prove they are eligible to vote.....

Yep, we are all going to die......

Hey, she's demanding something Democrats have asked about for months now - a hearing with survivor testimony.

As long as the Republicans get to pick which victims testify, of course.
