Oil tankers run 'dark' through Strait of Hormuz as US disables tanker

Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬97

So he lied can we now remove that honorable from in front of his name and replace it with fired.

badgertricia68

Must be under oath? 🤔

Middlerage59

Why’d you tweet it then???? 🤡

Ron Dorland ©️🇺🇸🇺🇦59

We know they are lying They know they are lying They know we know they are lying They know we know they know they are lying But they still lie. Russian proverb . No one said our descent into Russian madness would be easy. Except Putin when he told Rs it would be.

Democratic Free Press29

How come he never sent out a correction?

Zombie Hunter19

Several lies. Blames his team then is hugging himself, squeezing his right arm while lying about "significant amount of ships" carrying oil to the US and US allies.

Slacks19

Dude just straight up admits he lied.

David15

Of course it was a lie. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/ther...

George Smiley13

Is this what trump was alluding to in his 'i love the inflation' presser? "Taking the oil" - pointlessly, idiotically, criminally, just stealing oil?

flustrator12

“I’ll take responsibility for it… after blaming my team.”

CarolinaCalling12

Its not me,it's my team.When the trials start, this is what we will hear over and over.

rayinrichmond.bsky.social11

Trump has demonstrated that every level of your federal government will willingly follow corrupt leadership. What sane American will ever trust the US federal government again?

Nanners 🌻11

Lies they’re all liars. They’re lying to the American public every day all day.🤯

Chele Lea11

He’s really bad at this.

John10

Don’t hand them their excuses. Ask them the question and make them refuse to answer it. Repeatedly.

David Stone9

This morning, Trump said they were "sneaking through 20 tankers a night through the Strait. I'm just announcing this now! 20 tankers a night! They don't know about it!" (paraphrasing)

EC7

Guess what else isn’t true…. “Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who was testifying at a congressional hearing on Wednesday, said that he was not aware of the U.S. taking millions of barrels out of Iran, the Reuters news agency reported.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

minutesdrag.bsky.social7

Wright is a lying pile of shit. I’m so fucking tired of this inept and corrupt af regime.

armitage70.bsky.social7

This guy Wright is so badly informed he believes solar power doesn’t work in winter when in fact it is actually more effective in winter.

robertjeff57-58.bsky.social7

Truth always comes Some take longer than others But They always come out

Cathy Michelle7

Wright keeps squeezing his arm because he is terrified and he knows they know that he knows that he is lying

Arnold Ziffel7

The old “I have people who lie for me” defense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Van der Burgh6

Question: Do any of these people have any credibility? Answer: No.

flustrator5

Also, the questioning could not be any more calm and straightforward, and he’s over here yelling and stuttering like he’s being grilled by some hard-boiled detective. Like, chill. Take a beta blocker or something.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot5

Ask him is he thinks $4 gas is $2 gas and he might blow another gasket.

Dweb5

DOES ANYONE NOT LIE IN HE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION?

Endurance5

Such large-scale lies, perpetrated by so many people, I have to know: what's in it for them? What drove them to such contempt for American taxpayers? Did they simply went along? Did they receive large sums of money? Were they threatened? Are they connected to the Epstein case? What?

Frettie Fingers5

how do you like your nos, fast or slow?

Bluebagger574

That’s not “an honest mistake”. That’s a deliberate lie. An “honest mistake” would have been corrected at the earliest opportunity.

Fvcking Hadit Uptahere4

Al this administration does is lie. It baffles me why anyone takes anything they say seriously.

retiredrn2016.bsky.social4

They all lie for him. The trials need to start soon!

jeffedu.bsky.social4

S: sir, we are going to see oil price spikes of up to 50% per barrel starting in a month or so, is that true? W: Yes S: So…with trump at the helm of this failed and useless war, we’re f***ed, is that true? W: Yes 🤨

GhostMachine4

How can it be appropriate to say that they've facilitated traffic yet the details would be inappropriate? It would be all or none. Dumb (with the uncommonly-known, "b" spelling)

allenidaho.bsky.social4

Since the beginning of June, only 2 ships per day on average have passed through the Strait. It is effectively closed again.

Eliana3

Love how these useless pendejos are quite quick to blame staff when something goes wrong but when they actually accomplish something (whether good or bad), it's all about "I did X" #FuckTheGOP

Consequences3

Remember, both @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.senate.gov enthusiastically voted Yea on this lying sycophant’s nomination. #copolitics @philweiser.bsky.social

uniquespecimen.bsky.social3

Until there are consequences for the constant lies and crimes it will keep getting worse. It is that simple.

Lee3

Civilian Satellite imagery could easy confirm how many ships have passed through the Strait of Hurmuz on any given day, even show who all the ships docked at sea in the bay belong to. Your internet device what ever it is can watch News from Europe.

Distressed In The US3

The classic “It was my team and I gave them a stern talkin’ to”. 🙄

J. T. Allen3

Why start telling the truth now all of a sudden. Is the wind changing?

colleenrodriguez.bsky.social3

Are they being truthful about the casualties?

Wii3

All they do is lie. Every single one of them. Pathetic.

marv88-88.bsky.social3

Yeah we already know nothing is true. Trump lost the Iran War.

A Travis-T3

Why not just lie again? I mean yea lying on Twitter doesn't constitute perjury but it's not like these guys don't perjur themselves at every hearing anyway.

Langsford 🏳️‍🌈3

He's stammering like a mad thing.

Literary Girl3

BS. He can't word salad his way out of a lie so he blames a staffer.

Narbo3

Then he's fucking lying. Jesus Christ, stop being cordial and polite to professional bullshitters.

coconutlizard.bsky.social3

Wow. Liars all R lie

thunder10083

Zero credibility. The entire admin is fucking farce.

Hugh Lander3

Can’t go into it, or won’t because he’s lying?

Always Katy3

“I can’t go into detail because I’m lying”

Biltong Baggins3

So … We should believe everything AFTER that lie right?

lesliead717.bsky.social2

THIS is why they need to me under oath

NoSabo2

These idiots won. Americans voted for them and gave them complete control of government and their lives.

ʀօɮɛռɦɛɨʍɛʀ2

you testified that we all need to relax and everything will be fine, is that true? no.

kbethany.bsky.social2

So it’s a very different thing to tweet a lie than it is to attest that a tweet is true to Congress. Good on the rep for getting him as on the record as he could on this and very good follow up on trying to pin down “meaningful” even if it didn’t work.

jackson henry2

dude does the thing he denies doing, right in front of everyone quintessential maga

bluepaul.bsky.social2

That guy is struggling with his lies. Just like all the rest of these unqualified idiots.

Paul Rodger2

Amazing what the prospect of perjury does to cut through the bs and spin.

Ken Goodman - PNW2

"It's increased 'meaningfully,' but I can't tell you any facts to support that. Well, okay, I'll tell you this: one ship went through the Strait two weeks ago, and two went through last week. Twice as many! That's meaningful."

proudcanadian151.bsky.social2

Sounds like Wright is full of 💩

OCKitties2

I wish cspan was airing

Smarine7772

Is too bad for his family that he has to lie like that and take the side of a rapist in the White House

Winged Hussar2

Isn't ship traffic public? I mean, he can't say what meaningful is, but the data is out there I think. So, how many ships transited the Straight?

Adrienne2

I have meaningly increased my workload from home, but I can't show the data, yeah that would fly.😅😂

murphysgirl.bsky.social2

No, it's not correct! Keep asking this liar the same question until you break him!! Stop being so accepting of the bs. Jhc!

steveboos.bsky.social2

That dude is shaking so bad. He can feel the prison time coming if he continues this charade, but he knows he may be destroyed financially if he goes against his cult leader. I hate when the government is filled with loyalists and ZERO merit based hires.

mylittlecorner.bsky.social2

He gave a “talk” & then his*staff put out a FALSE tweet because they are SO DUMb that when he told them that a US MILITARY ship had successfu escorted…” they thought he meant the opposite? Makes sense I guess if this lying sack of fetid bile is your boss? Tweet the OPPOSITE of the *talk?

grendal.bsky.social2

That feels like a crime...

Slacks2

IT WAS TWEETED BY MY TEAM

americanpatriot.bsky.social2

How many US servicemen has died from downed planes that Trump has lied about surviving? To protect the Epstein files.

Carl Mucha2

If this was a 6th grade book report, how would you grade this performance?

mytwosons.bsky.social2

So is he telling the truth now? Or was he then? This regime is so full of shit it really doesn’t matter what TF they say

StickyBunny2

Why didn’t he correct the tweet he claims was erroneously posted, instead of letting the misinformation stand?

Terry Watkins12

He has secretly won the war. So secret that the rest of the world is oblivious. Awesome.

Brian Sprague4

There’s no such thing as secretly moving through the Strait. It’s just not that wide and tankers are massive radar reflectors.

grannydoodle.bsky.social3

I can't wait for Iran's response 😂

The US controls the "straight" but Iran shot down an Apache helicopter. Lol. He got into a problem he doesn't understand, and getting out has become a big problem for him.

Doctor Synth3

Reminder: 20 million barrels of oil used to flow through the Strait of Hormuz when Joe Biden was President. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Steve Uncle3

To everyone else in the world it looks like Iran controls the straight but we have a super secret mission that nobody else knows about (paying Iran)

peterpesce.bsky.social2

He has the oil. But it lives in Canada. That’s why you’ve never seen it.

chacmool75.bsky.social2

Big whoop. 1 days worth of global consumption

Inflation and gas prices would like a word.
