Here is the evidence:


All 4 of those things I mentioned reduce the supply of oil. Next?

They say you cannot blame a president for gas prices. But when the president’s executive order shuts down a gas pipeline and ends a lease in Alaska for drilling, adds unreasonable NEPA regulations, and then sours foreign relations with every global oil supplier, Id say you can blame the president.

Sorry lol, I forgot how important it is to be precise with a thought.

If you had the power to amend the constitution, how would you amend it to make abortion legal or illegal if at all?

Also I had a 2nd question.

If you had the power to add a constitutional amendment, what would you add to limit the scope of government specifically in the area of the government limiting an American's choice as to what they can or cannot buy. Whether it is in the form of  corporate or banking subsidies or regulations prohibiting the production or sale of many goods? Do you think we need the Federal  government to regulate the economy to such a large extent in order to preserve the Union and how would you stop it from  expanding it's power over commerce indefinitely?

Even Conservative Russians do not support citizen gun rights, neither did Hitler's populace.

Lol, banning guns isn't a left or right trait. Interesting article though. I had no idea just how anti-fash Putin actually was. Even if he did allow them to thrive temporarily just to have a reason to kill them all and gain popularity.

Imagine being a Russian citizen enjoying 3 US dollars for a gallon of gas today. How much of a hero does Putin look on that fact alone to them?

Biden was the unexpected gift that just keeps on giving.

Mind you, gas was very expensive for Russians under Trump since America was dominating the world Oil market. Putin had every motive to invade Ukraine on that reason alone; yet he did not.

No sanctions and you get Ukraine. Didn’t think that one through did ya?
Most people don't understand what a monumental fuckup it was for Biden to sanction Russian Oil. It opened up new markets to every US enemy. It's also the main reason why Saudi Arabia won't sell a drop to us now.

Sure, and I highlighted the number of police officers injured during GF Riots, which were far more violent based on the vandalism, arson, and looting. I also mentioned the rocks thrown at the cops, unknown liquids, etc. If J6 was violent, then the summer of love was far more violent, yet you don’t here of cops committing suicide because of it.
Statistically speaking, suicide is extremely low. And while 1 or 2 suicides out of 200 cops might be excusable with outliers...4 out of 200 is extremely suspicious.

I guess the officers got the message after 4 "suicides" to not say anything bad about the Democrats or the FBI.

Damage caused by George Floyd Riots: 1-2 billion
Damage caused by January 6th: 1.5 million

Cops injured during George Floyd Riots: Over 2,000
Cops injured during January 6th: 140

Penalty for looters: Nothing
Penalty for selfie takers during J6: Years in prison

But hey J6 wasn’t more violent than the George Floyd riots
You missed another very important stat.

J6 victims returning to work as usual: about 4 hours.
Thousands of Summer of love victims: Never able to recover.

They were at the direction of people like Maxine Waters. Insurrection at its finest

Didn't Chuck Schumer from New York also direct violence? Felony insurrection?


We need to consider the current tendency toward unequal and politicized treatment of US citizens under color of law. That is a much bigger threat to democracy than a simple afternoon of DC rioting.

You’d rather become a California liberal and live off of welfare than vote for an elitist, out of touch loser like Mitt Romney 

Dirty little secret in Mass, you qualify for more benefits and quicker with less verification if you fraudulently register as a democrat.

Which of course, I am registered as a Democrat of color; My dad always said I was a colorful chap. Maybe even part Indian.

Biden supported peaceful protests at SCOTUS judge's houses, which unlike trespassing in the capitol, is a Federal Felony.

Where is the commission to investigate that insurrection?

Most Democrats and most Republicans are in agreement that the actions of the crowd on January 6, 2021 were distasteful. But if the incident continues to be used as a brute cudgel against the Republican Party, then I will sooner call the Capitol stormers heroes and patriots.
That's as based as Gigachad.

I don't plan on wasting my time talking about markets with Trump tards here.
And every Elected Democrat feels the same way and will continue to feel that way up until they lose their seats Nov 2022.

There will be no committee on inflation. Not this year.
Apparently, focus group polls show they can't make Drumphles look bad by talking about what the Democrats can or cannot do to help Americans. Even with a Hollywood Director. So no, Trumptards and Bidentards won't be exposed to the evidence where Trump was wrong about shutting down the country or encouraging the Fed to print more dollars than the GDP could handle.

4 pages in and not one post from a Trump supporter actually talking about the evidence
What evidence? I see no evidence about who was to blame for why the capitol had only 200 officers to protect it. If Democracy was so important to Pelosi, why did she not defend the Capitol?

"Lol nobody cares." True patriots. 
Even Democrats that voted for Biden think this is just political theatre to distract from present failures. It's not just the Trumpy bois.

any other criminal prosecution that's going on against Trump or his cronies.
So ironically you support preserving Democracy by allowing the incarceration of political opposition. Brilliant.

 But the most amazing thing he did was convincing everyday-people to vote against their own financial interests (IMHO).
Cause I guess everyday people really wanted 6 dollar gasoline. Who coulda thought? 

Who convinced all those everyday people to vote for 6 dollar gasoline again?

Democracy is the ultimate priority because if it fails, no other priority can be addressed.
The failure of democracy is a symptom of the problems we have today. Not the cause. Same problems Russia and Venezuela have with their Democracies.

This all sounds more like something Kim Jong-un would do, not an American president.
I agree. Hiring a professional Hollywood director to gaslight the people into thinking Inflation is not a big deal is most certainly what Kim Jong Un would do to keep power in a country of starving people. Their Jan 6 is a Korean state commission blaming Americans for all the problems in North Korea.

So you don't care about the planet? Everything has its pros and cons, but to speak of green energy in the same way Trump speaks of "politics", is not only incongruous -- it is offensive.
Well we disagree on that since we are now paying for that green energy snake oil with 6 dollar gasoline imported from Iran. 

As an American, I find that offensive. If it was just Al Gore pitching his usual snake oil, that would have been fine since I didn't have to buy it.

Trump successfully speaks only to people's emotions. But fairness in law is done in a dispassionate and deliberate way, a logical and methodical way not immediately appreciated by most people.
How hard would it be for the Democrats to have a committee hearing on inflation and lie to the people about that?

It is about what is good for the people - even if it doesn't taste as good as something easily peddled to the masses.
Like the green energy snake oil?
