    There are people out there doing just that. The problem is they do not get on TV and in the press when they do. We get presented those approved by our media overlords, and they do not seem to show anyone else but old white male demented fuck 1 and 2, and then thr rogues gallery behind them to make them look like they are the good choice.

    If the dipshit media hadn't eaten up the fairy tale of Trump, we wouldn't be in this mess.
    Watergate had just fucking happened, then Reagan and Trump came along, and they were suddenly like a 90 year old lady answering a telemarketer.

    The mainstream media was so far in the tank for Reagan it wasn't even funny. They hated Clinton and Carter. People with a southern accent are automatically despised in those circles. :brood:

    Well ... this is arguably good. The Trump administration stopped releasing White House visitor logs (a policy that the evil fascist Biden reversed, incidentally), so the existence of data mining companies could give us more transparency around which demented crooks were bending Trump's ear than any other information source.

    It is the stupid of worrying about tracking chips being put into your body while you voluntarily hold a GPS and behavior tracker on you at all times. They now know your heart rate, what you are eating, and everything else about you. My phone knows more about me today than the COs in jail knew about me back then.

    Well, for Trump, it's a new place to hide the evidence. The only reason Melania hasn't met with an accident yet is she's so thin you couldn't conceal a tootsie roll in that coffin.

    And Trump still lives in hope she'll let him hide his mushroom again.

    The wall is a con job. It is like trump U or trump properties. You give him lots of money, and you get nothing. He has found the most gullible bunch of nutbars who will keep shoveling him money no matter how many times he rips them off. The only other people who are bigger rip off artists are religious leaders, and he has gotten into their grift too.

    We turned a profit on it, last I heard. @Ancalagon usually has the latest info on it and I’m sure he’ll be along shortly with the answer.

    Don't worry, I'm sure Jenee has enough bourbon in the house to ensure she'll keep fucking you until February, at least.

    Great news on that front. Not only did the SPR not even get close to being depleted but it is now at 352m barrels and climbing.

    WHILE we are making $4 BILLION off the first batch of contracts. Will likely be even more second round as the Saudis/OPEC+ look to be starting a price war*.

    OH YEAH! We are also NET exporting more crude oil and petrochems** than any time in the last 70 years.

    *Persian Gulf oil needs prices to be about $15/b to break even. American shale is in the $60-$70/b so if they can drive prices down low enough they can cut future American production giving them larger market share.

    **This is a complicated metric for many folks to understand as we are the largest refiner of petrochems in the world. There is a lot of oil that we ‘import’ then refine and then sell it back to the country we imported it from. For example lot of Mexico’s and almost all of Venezuala’s oil is refined in US Gulf Coast refineries calibrated to handle the high sulpher content.

    To be sold to the highest bidder, which may or may not be domestic.

    And is "not even close" meant to evade the way tapping the SOR is artificially holding down prices so we can act like inflation isn't out of control? That won't last forever.
