lol TDS, I’ll take things people say that show their IQ is less than 80 for $500 Alex (RIP)

Yes, people who spend all day and night using childish verbiage on a message board oozes high intelligence.

You should start looking for a job. Biden’s money won’t last forever.

We're beyond the breaking point. There is no one alive today who could unify the country. This is because there is no major common ground anymore between the left and the right. Love of country used to be it, but we're now at the point where one side of the country would probably cheer if China or Russia tried to take us over. They'd certainly cheer watching half the country get hauled away in boxcars to "reeducation camps".

Bottom line: there is no unifying with people who hate the country they live in and who openly advocate for its destruction.
This is true, but I think the left wing nuts are still less than 1/2 of those voting democrat. The more moderate dems are just too scared to not vote democrat or speak out against the freaks for fear of being shredded on-line by the loons. I also think they voted Bidet in hopes that he would be moderate, but he's nothing more than a hand-puppet for some of the worst people. I think there is a glimmer of hope as our current administration so destroys this Country, that perhaps there will be a sort of reunification that can grow out of it. But I give Bidet credit; he all but guaranteed he will never be impeached because he picked as his backup a person nobody in this Country would trust with getting their lunch order correct. Yes indeed, we are screwed for the next few years.

Also, if you’re bringing up any merit to the election fraud ********, youre just a wacky gullible dumbass - anyone who believes any of that **** is just off their rocker and too stupid to know it.
Never mind that 4 big liberal cities all decided in unison to stop counting (reporting) the votes on election night, which is completely unprecedented.

Never mind that even though Trump had a sizable lead in each on these States, post-midnight ballot drops that were 100% to Biden were magically found and were just enough to give him the "win" in each State.

Never mind that you have Atlanta officials on video "counting ballots" in the middle of the night after they told everyone else to go home because of a watermain break that was later shown to be lie.

Never mind that you had election officials refusing to allow ballot observers to do their jobs in Detroit and Philadelphia - some going so far as to outright keep them from entering the vote counting rooms, or holding up poster boards to conceal the vote counting process (not abnormal at all, right?).

Never mind that many of these State governors straight up broke the law when they changed the election rules leading up to the election. (the Constitution clearly says election rules are up to State legislature).

Never mind all the witnesses who testified under oath to seeing late night ballot drops that looked like they'd been filled out by a printer and had no creases (meaning they'd never been in a envelope - mailed).

Never mind how easily unsolicited mail in voting and ballot harvesting can be manipulated for fraudulent reasons.

Never mind all the evidence of how fraudulent the Dominion voting systems are. Hint: there's a reason why they absolutely refuse to provide info to help these election audits.

The only BS is just how thoroughly brainwashed the masses can allow themselves to be, to the point where they refuse to even believe their own eyes.

Does the ratio mean anything. When the country is on fire, it doesn't really matter if you're throwing gas on it or if you're just flinging matches on it. Neither one helps and both are still part of the problem.

Yes, it means, potentially, there are many that may vote against the radical agenda in the future.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. There may be a handful who will see the light, but if you're still blind to the truth after everything we've witnessed these past 6 years then you never will see it.

If only we had our own oil and pipeline?If only we were energy independent so we don't have to rely on the middle east and OPEC? If only these things occurred gas would be 2 dollars or less. Oh wait. All those things existed 8 ****ing months ago!!!
Eight months ago we were under covid emergency. No one was flying, traveling or going to work. Manufacturing was at a stand still. There was no market for OPEC's product. Today there is demand.

He hit factual arguments up and down and of course you guys just dismiss it all. That's why we don't take you seriously. You won't even engage in honest discourse.
Lol factual

Literally everything he said has been disproven and made look so stupid by so many people, so many times now - anyone who still believes that is so blinded by delusion addressing the individual points is a waste of time. If truth was the goal, it’s immediately available

You seem to defend him quite a bit. Tell me why he is responsible for the boarder crisis?

tbh I haven’t paid any attention to the boarder crisis, I can’t knowledgeably comment on it. I do know extending the eviction moratorium pissed me off. I’m in summer scouting mode for archery season so have been pretty detached from recent news

Weak deflection. If a horse was this lame we'd shoot it.

To the OP: oil is a completely unique commodity that doesn't just follow the laws of supply and demand. The price is also predicated on the value of the dollar, which in foreign markets is also affected by the supply of oil. Right now, OPEC doesn't want more dollars because we are devaluing them, not to mention the fact that we have nearly a billion barrels that are sitting in our strategic reserve already and Biden playing nice with Iran is making them none-too-happy. Don't believe anyone that tries to convince you that rising oil prices are because of demand outpacing supply. It's much more complicated than that.

All of this is covered in the thread. Trump did well on messaging, got OPEC to increase supply and decrease supply at various times. He also opened up new lands for leases and development and had a positive message to give about oil production. That lead to lower, stable prices and over 3x the amount of production under Obama.

Now instantly after taking office Biden ended everything Trump did and production is now 33% of what is was under Trump. He ****** and then went to OPEC to bail him out like Trump did and instead of helping they told him off.

But, yes keep thinking Biden has nothing to do with oil prices.

I'm sure he also has nothing to do with 200,000 illegals crossing each month now too, right?

Please share what Biden shut down that was already active. Thanks

Energy department production numbers show US oil production is 33% of what it was last year but please tell me what shutdown!?

You clowns are all the same... boring and only capable of regurgitating the most basic talking points. Read the thread bud.

And not that production is the only thing that affects price when you take the average price last year and compare it to this year, you will find it coincidentally is ~67% higher.

Imagine my shock.

You realize that the reserves have more oil in them than ever before? Biden did not shut anything down. Again tell me what Biden was responsible for shutting down. I am still waiting.

The pipeline that was shut down is several years from affecting oil in this country. Please that has nothing to do with pricing right now. That pipeline is less than 10 per cent complete. Try again.

but let's talk about that pipeline.. it was for Canada, so they could get their oil to the refinery in Texas, to be sold to China. I'm actually ok with the pipeline being shut down. Who was employed with those jobs anyway? Canadians and illegal immigrants. no biggie to shut it down.

Not the point. The question was what has Biden shut down .
