The money that can be made on oil today is pennies compared the damage a shifting climate can cause.
There is also the cost of immediate damage from a lack of energy, such as poor people dying in the summer from brownouts and in the winter because poor people cant afford to heat the house.

I'm wondering how I'm still alive after having not been vaccinated since the COVID pandemic's inception.
I too am also wondering how all those vaccinated people spread the Covid around and died themselves. Wasn't it heavily marketed as being both safe and effective? To the point of censorship?

If she started setting dates to try to benefit trump, that would political interference. She would be guilty of what you are accusing her of (political interference) if she did the thing you want her to do. How is this lost on you?
Well, that is one hot take. I hope there will be no political backlash. Or grounds for an appeal to the SCOTUS.

Pumping and burning huge amounts of fossil fuels affects Californians just as much as it affects Alaskans.
California is free to not buy any Alaskan oil. And likewise, Alaska should not dictate what industries California should be allowed to husband.

it literally does not matter what date she picked, she would be accused of exactly the same thing.
So pure negligence. Hope that goes down well in the history books.

I'm guessing it's regulation that prevents catastrophic failure or something.
That's the justification for every regulation, whether it's necessary or not. The consumers are not allowed to make the risk assessments.
Alaska is full of this scenario where people in DC dictate how Alaskans can use their own land that they live on.
Alaskans are so furious about being shackled by the tyranny of a majority of "eco conscious warriors" in California who have never set one foot on Alaskan soil, much less spent a single day in the environment they think they are "saving."

It's not impossible they made it up.
It does look sus.
Most likely, the question was very leading...like "Would time spent in court interfere in Trump's ability to get elected?"
Lots of polls use leading questions to drive a narrative result.

So as a judge, wouldn't it make sense to NOT have him in court the very day before Super Tuesday? I mean, there are plenty of other days out of the year....
Why give the people a reason to suspect the Deep State is doing something shady....unless maybe the Judge is doing it on purpose...

I said before, there is no real disadvantage for US in letting Trump run in 2024, compared to imprisoning him.
Absolutely, and beyond that, ignoring him on corporate media is the surest way to get rid of Trump and his ideas.

Adolf Hitler's popularity increased SUBSTANTIALLY after he was imprisoned following his failed coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923.
Hitler's time in prison provided him with a platform to propagate his ideologies and gain more widespread attention. During his imprisonment, he wrote his autobiographical manifesto "Mein Kampf," which outlined his political beliefs, antisemitic views, and plans for Germany's future.
Hitler's trial and imprisonment received significant media coverage, which brought his ideas to a broader audience. This allowed him to disseminate his extremist nationalist and anti-Semitic ideologies to a wider segment of the population.
Hitler used his imprisonment to paint himself as a martyr for his cause. He presented the failed coup as a noble attempt to save Germany and blamed its failure on the political establishment and perceived enemies of the nation.
Hitler's charisma and oratory skills were evident during his trial and imprisonment. His speeches and writings resonated with certain segments of the population, attracting supporters who felt disillusioned by the Weimar Republic and its perceived weaknesses.
Hitler's time in prison allowed him to further radicalize his followers and solidify his political movement. His writings and ideas attracted like-minded individuals who became increasingly dedicated to his cause.
Germany was undergoing significant economic challenges and political instability during this time. Many people were looking for strong leadership and solutions to the country's problems, which Hitler promised through his nationalist and authoritarian agenda.
Why on earth are you Okay with creating a second "Hitler" by creating a political Martyr?
If Weimar Germany simply ignored Hitler (a practical nobody before his imprisonment, less relevant than the Qanon Shaman...) and fixed the country instead of fighting for petty political power, we would never have had WW2...

Remember that the voters eliminated Trump in both elections.
So why create a modern day Hitler (political martyr) if all elections are legitimate? Why eliminate political opposition through the courts if the voting system is secure and works?
Unless it actually doesn't work...

Oh... JP wasn't actually discussing the nature of the 50/50 split. He just casually offhandedly mentioned it. I was just thinking philosophically about it.
I agree that earlier splits still had a unifying element of classical liberalism, but it seems that while earlier political splits pandered to the nature of man's simplified thinking of issues (as our brains are wired to naturally discard grey ideas), as well as the nature of a winner take all system, it has gotten much worse today for 2 reasons I think.
1) Promoting and framing a 50/50 split on issues helps politicians raise more money and gain more voter turnout, as money is an increasingly crucial part of maintaining political power today.
2) Promoting and framing a 50/50 split on issues helps modern corporate media to drive profits and audience size, especially among the uneducated.

I'm only talking about the Smart Democrats.
So California Democrats are not smart? OK.
You know Trump got the idea from reading Mein Kampf.
And I guess Biden got the idea from the Night of Long Knives on how to eliminate political opponents.
Smart analysis for sure.

The Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey reveals a majority in every age group, gender and geographic location, except for the Northeast, think Trump's ongoing legal difficulties constitute election interference in a major boost to the Republican frontrunner.
I will take a wild guess and say you are in the small portion of Democrats in the North East according to the poll.

“By any means necessary.”
Maybe there are a few situations where moral flexibility can lead to positive outcomes for society. It seems more often today that moral flexibility is exploited for personal gain at the expense of others' well-being. It also creates an environment where evil can thrive. You would think a strong and consistent ethical framework, along with critical thinking and empathy would be the go-to way to prevent the flourishing of most evil actions. Equality under the law is the basis of this philosophy.

Ya, huge difference between insurrection and seditious conspiracy, just huge.
Yes, according to the "trusted" media. None of the corporate system media reported on a seditious conspiracy. It was Insurrection 24/7.
Good point as usual. And I approve.

I am currently listening to a Jordan Peterson talk, and he is just casually stating that America has been split 50/50 for a very long time. I had to take pause and ask myself why that was the case. Is that a case of the natural human condition or a designed system to keep the people engaged in a conflict with no real meaning and no end?

@cristo71
Which one? It’s a 50/50 chance at this point…
Hmm...moral flexibility...
There's an argument to be made that evil thrives when morals are flexible enough to allow for it.

From my perspective, what we see with the disparate cultures in America is a philosophical divide on how to raise children within a nature/nurture paradigm. In other words: Whether the nature of the government can replace a nurturing nuclear family or not.
The cultures that push for the replacement of the father in the home are at a severe disadvantage, as cited by a great many studies, and Vivek addresses this problem when no other politician will or has.

A majority of Democrat voters who backed President Joe Biden in 2020 think the investigations and criminal indictments against Donald Trump constitute "an interference in the 2024 presidential election," according to a new poll conducted exclusively for Newsweek.
The Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey reveals a majority in every age group, gender and geographic location, except for the Northeast, think Trump's ongoing legal difficulties constitute election interference in a major boost to the Republican frontrunner.
On Thursday, Trump was arrested and then released on a $200,000 bond over claims he broke the law attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia. The former president has strongly denied any wrongdoing, claiming the allegations against him are a "witch hunt" and "election interference."
I'd like to hear from Democrats on this site if they agree with the Democrats polled by Newsweek.

GOP gets a harsh wake up call when they realize the song Rich Men North of Richmond applies to the GOP too.
This will be my last post about politics on social media. I apologize for beating a dead horse, but I just need to address this quote in my video earlier, since it's been misquoted / misinterpreted this evening. Corporate news (big surprise) is now trying to twist me into being a Biden supporter.
"That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden" is referencing DeSantis' response to my song. He talks about needing to get Joe Biden out, as if that would automatically solve all the problems. Biden is a big part of the issue, but it runs much deeper.
Rich Men North of Richmond is about corporate owned DC politicians on both sides. Though Biden's most certainly a problem, the lyrics aren't exclusively knocking Biden, it's bigger and broader than that. It's knocking the system collectively. Including the corporate owned conservative polticans that were on stage that night.
Goodnight everyone. Thanks again.

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, we gotta talk about a story straight out of 'Cuckoo for Coco Pop'
world with a headline that you'd think you'd only see in the Babylon Bee. However, it is
a hundred percent real! Okay, as woke mayor Brandon Johnson refuses to condemn the
Agents of Chaos teenagers that are destroying his city, almost on a daily basis despite his
so-called 'summer jobs program,' which was supposed to keep down the crime that
happens in the city from these teenagers, because you know the teenagers, they just
don't have anything to do in that big city! Okay? They're hungry, they ain't got
nothing to do, they need Midnight basketball and Monopoly, right? They just
don't have enough of that! This is why they are committing crimes. Again, his job
program has not worked. Now, you're not supposed to demonize these teenagers.
You're not supposed to talk bad about them. You're not supposed to say anything
bad about them because they're kids. They're children, right? And you're also
not supposed to say anything about the criminals who committed crimes as well,
because that's racist, right? So what does wokeman Brandon Johnson decide
to do in order to try to place blame on why his city has so many crimes? In
this video, we're talking specifically about car thefts. Well, he places the
blame not on the people actually committing the thefts, not on the criminals,
but on the automakers because allegedly, according to him, they're
making their cars 'too easy to steal,' so therefore, it's their fault. Right? It's
their fault that their cars are getting stolen, and that Chicago is experiencing
this crime crisis; therefore, they should be held accountable, not the criminals."
What do you guys think? Will suing car manufacturers make Chicago a safer place?
