The number of days of distillate supply has risen to 29.0, from the low of 25.4 when many media outlets sold you that we were going to run out. It's still tight, but moving in the right direction. https://twitter.com/GasBuddyGuy/status/1598031591174987777
He didn't even hedge his bet. The WHOLE country. Not just Toledo. Actually all of America would be shut down.
Something I just realized is that this means the Biden admin UNDERESTIMATED their economic record in the October before pivotal elections.
I think what you mean to say is that the Biden administration was wrong about economic growth. Wrong, I say! How can we trust them ?
Jesus, all it would take is an occasional "oops, my bad" but no, you always have to dig your hole to China.
Deep red Arizona county refuses to certify results of 2022 election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...refuses-certify-midterm-results-legal-battles I don’t know how accurate the analysis that the whole county will be disenfranchised if they fail to certify, but it’ll be ultra hilarious if so on 2 counts: 1. Two elections that span counties will cause a change in winner from Republican to Democrat (including one in the House), and 2. Arizona might lose a seat in the House entirely under section 2 of the 14th amendment (might because I don’t know the demographics nor the math well enough to calculate if it would actually happen for a mere 125k population county, as it’s the count of disenfranchised males over 21 that matters, along, presumably, with the apportionment formula). Disenfranchising Republicans and hurting swing states to own the libs is a fantastic strategy and I hope they do it more.
This is one of those moments where you could say “shit you know what? My bad” and you’d gain respect. But you’re just digging in and making yourself look more preposterous
But you know what, I’ll give it a try. I never said that the diesel shortage would end up being that we were completely out. I did predict a shortage though. That did happen, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. We shall see if that remains the case. So yeah, I was wrong. There, I said it. Credit to Biden where credit is due.
How can recession be looming when you were insisting not too long ago that the US was already in a covered up recession?
I just dropped my kid off at school. Gas station down the street was $4.43 (4.34 with cash). That’s the California equivalent of giving gas away. I can’t imagine what the prices must be in flyover states.
So… Someone posted this as a joke on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jhweissmann/status/1598059224751550464 And then a few hours later this happened: https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1598088455409799168
I can't imagine the House would ever name a non-member as Speaker, as hilarious as that would be. The most likely outcome is that McCarthy gives MTG and the Sedition Caucus whatever they want, and they end up voting for him. The second most likely outcome is that he fails, the Sedition Caucus nominates someone even more extreme, and the rest of the Republicans fall obediently in line, just like they did for Trump. I suppose there's a teeny tiny chance that Democrats could say "hey, here's a list of Republicans we'd be willing to vote for, so if you nominate one of them you won't need the crazies." But I'm not sure who that could be. I suppose a bloc of Democrats could promise McCarthy their votes in exchange for some concessions, but that would involve trusting McCarthy to not go back on his word, which everyone knows he would as he saw the slightest advantage in it.
NEW: early vote data shows 54% of Georgians have cast their ballots for Raphael Warnock—almost 8% higher than this time in the 2021 run-off and 6% higher than this time a few weeks ago. Very encouraging numbers for Democrats with 5 days left in the race. https://twitter.com/Victorshi2020/status/1598356640323211264

Walker claimed that he took care of Don, Jr and Ivanka when they were kids. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1598474140373159936?s=46&t=gybfCqPpwjncIWcDTDA3Zg As someone pointed out in the thread, Eric’s such a fuck up that even Hershel won’t claim him.
