  1. Now you’re twisting. Murdoch claimed that Biden tried to get Saudi Arabia to postpone their price increase until after midterms. But now you’re twisting that. What would be the quid pro quo if Saudi boosts production? It wouldn’t be free. Biden should impose an IMMEDIATE halt to ALL US arms exports to Saudi Arabia. ASAP. We should announce plans to close our military bases there, and pull 1/4 of our personnel out asap.
  2. You can see here that global petroleum consumption was far lower in Q1 2020 than Q1 2021. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php Why are gas prices high? Republicans, of course. Obviously. Ask yourself this: Where is all that gas money going? Oil companies. Their profits are higher than ever. And which is the party that always, always, always fights alternative energy development? Why, GOSH, it’s the same party that the oil companies support. Because the Republicans don’t care if you pay more for gas, if your kids get asthma, or if your children starve in the future if we can’t make enough food. Oil companies have LOTS of scientists. That’s how they drill. Science. They don’t pray to Jesus for oil. It’s science. And those same scientists have looked at all the global warming science. They know it’s real, but they want to keep selling oil. What they should do is invest in clean energy tech, because that’s the future, but they don’t care about the future, they care about the now. Can America move half or more of our electricity generation to wind and solar? Absolutely. One party’s for that, and one party fights it. One party embraces a man who says windmills cause cancer. So there’s sanity versus insanity. Joe Biden is pursuing the right strategy. In fact, we should triple down on his spending. Double electrical generation over all and increase renewable electrical generation fivefold. Build more electric cars and move more industrial energy consumption to electricity. The result will be a BOOMING US economy; because everything runs on energy and the more we produce, the more we can manufacture. We can improve our standard of living and our quality of life, we can be an exporter of advanced energy technology and cut the unstable Mideast and Russia out of the equation. That isn’t liberal, it’s plain common sense. And it is absolutely doable.
  3. “Allegedly”… according to very anti-Biden Rupert Murdoch. Yeah. Duh. In other news, the sun will rise in the East tomorrow. When Trump left office, our economy was shut down due to the pandemic and oil consumption was ultra low. So of course prices will rise when demand triples. Basic economics. Demand has outstripped supply because wells that were shut down take time to resume, and now OPEC has taken Russia’s side against America, which we should all remember the next time someone threatens to invade them. Better yet, let’s triple-down on alternative energy, become the world leader in alternative energy products, and export them worldwide. Then Saudi Arabia can eat all the sand they want.
  4. So what has Biden done which makes oil-rich Canada’s gas prices so high?
  5. Average US gas price is currently $3.90 a gallon. It’s gone down a dollar.
  6. According to the National Archives, your Tea Party website is lying. https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2022/nr22-001
  7. Silly, but nonetheless accurate. Look, the only thing wrong with the label is its stigma. Frankly, a capitalist military would be an absolutely disastrous idea.
  8. Thank you! From the NIH link, there is a study on outcomes from hormone therapy in adolescents: ”Results: After gender reassignment, in young adulthood, the GD was alleviated and psychological functioning had steadily improved. Well-being was similar to or better than same-age young adults from the general population. Improvements in psychological functioning were positively correlated with postsurgical subjective well-being. Conclusions: A clinical protocol of a multidisciplinary team with mental health professionals, physicians, and surgeons, including puberty suppression, followed by cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgery, provides gender dysphoric youth who seek gender reassignment from early puberty on, the opportunity to develop into well-functioning young adults.”
  9. Sure. I mean… think about it: The entire apparatus is owned fully by the government, right? Funded by the people and owned and operated and controlled 100% by the government. Isn’t that the definition of communism?
  10. Governments today can be broadly broken down into two forms: Single-party government, and multi-party government. There are many single-party governments: Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea. Wherever you have single-party government, you have crackdowns on civil rights and freedom, because the ruling party wants to stay in power. Where you have multi-party government, you almost always have better civil rights conditions, because political dissent and opposition are allowed. So what you try to distinguish as Capitalist/Socialist, I think is better described as Single Party/Multi-Party. The Marxist definition of Socialism is different from pre-existing and post-Marx definitions of Socialism. Marx did not invent the term and he and Engles used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably. By the commonly used, non-Marxist definitions, social security is socialist and the US military is communist.
  11. Ok, but I’m not getting much of a picture here. How many kids a year are getting this treatment?
  12. Trump left the White House only because it was made abundantly clear that men with guns would drag him out if he didn’t leave, and the US Military and Secret Service weren’t going to support his effort to hold onto power.
  13. “A Minnesota Trump supporter admitted on October 11 that he vandalized and started a fire at his own property in 2020, after claiming that he was targeted because he had a Trump flag. Denis Molla told authorities that his garage door was spray-painted with an antifa symbol and graffiti saying ‘Biden 2020’ and ‘BLM.’ After the incident, Molla received more than $78k from a GoFundMe campaign he launched and the fraudulent insurance claims he filed. However, the sum was still short of the $300k of insurance claims he initially submitted. Molla pleaded guilty to wire fraud and could face up to four years in prison. According to his attorney, he plans to return the money he received from his donors and has already paid back the insurance money.” Source: https://nowthisnews.com/news/trump-supporter-who-graffitied-his-own-house-with-blm-biden-2020-pleads-guilty?&utm_medium=social&utm_source=YouTube&utm_campaign=nowthisnews
  14. Ahh, yes… deflection via false accusation. Barack Obama fully complied with the law. The National Archives said so. “The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), in accordance with the Presidential Records Act, assumed physical and legal custody of the Presidential records from the administrations of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan, when those Presidents left office. NARA securely moved these records to temporary facilities that NARA leased from the General Services Administration (GSA), near the locations of the future Presidential Libraries that former Presidents built for NARA. All such temporary facilities met strict archival and security standards, and have been managed and staffed exclusively by NARA employees. Reports that indicate or imply that those Presidential records were in the possession of the former Presidents or their representatives, after they left office, or that the records were housed in substandard conditions, are false and misleading.” https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2022/nr22-001
  15. GSA released photo of the pallets of documents Donald Trump stole. Is this how you store ultra-secret documents???
  16. Really? People living on a Caribbean island are poor? Did you figure that out all by yourself? Are they worse off than the people on other Caribbean islands? I’ve been to the U.S. Virgin Islands and the locals look pretty damn poor to me.
  17. Antifa, Antifa, Antifa… it’s all you talk about. Can you name one single member of Antifa? How many members do they have? Do they exist at all? They’re a bunch of assholes but they’re a minuscule group of criminals who have zero connection to political leadership or mainstream leaders. They aren’t the shadow government. They aren’t hiding in your closet.
  18. So, your little friend lies his ass off and that’s how you cover for him?
  19. So you’re a fan of rt.com? And you’re aware that rt.com is owned by Putin’s Russian state media, right? Is that right?
  20. Answer: Ottawa has a democratically-elected government. I wasn’t aware that the truckers who shut down a city by illegally parking and sabotaging their trucks in protest are now having their assets frozen. I don’t know Canadian law and whether it is lawful to freeze assets of criminals under those circumstances. So the honest truth is that I’m not capable of answering your question. Sorry.
  21. Ask me one reasonable question and I’ll answer it.
  22. You’re supposed to ignore me. I know perfectly well what American Citizenship is. It is defined in the 14th Amendment, and I’ve studied Constitutional law. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Note that twice it refers to Citizens and thrice it refers to Persons. It makes a clear distinction between the rights of citizens and persons. All people, citizen or not, is entitled to equal protection and due process, illegal immigrant or not. It also says this: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” Men are being convicted at this moment of seditious conspiracy for January 6. Donald Trump gave them aid and comfort. “I love you” is a comforting thing to say, so with the conviction of those individuals, Donald Trump will lose his eligibility to run for President. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-oath-keepers-and-10-other-individuals-indicted-federal-court-seditious-conspiracy-and
  23. Really? Tell me about all those senior citizens who would be dead without Social Security and Medicare.
