    Did you miss this comment? You must have missed it because you failed to respond and then later asked a question answered in it.

    Try reading it again, slowly this time, and then if you still have questions I can try using smaller words.

    Why would I want to read a post from someone who constantly and consistently flings insults at me?

    So you don’t sound like an idiot all the time?

    You asked a question that was answered in the post above it.

    Hey Skippy were you ever able to remember where you heard about the ‘looming diesel shortage that threatens to shut down the whole country’?

    Because I totally believe you don’t watch Tucker and it is just a coincidence you posted about this HUGE crisis of a diesel shortage the day after he talked about it I know it couldn’t have been from him.

    So who else lied to you? And who did you trust enough to swallow their drivel hook line and sinker without bothering with even the most basic of research?

    Also, I can't help but notice that the unemployment rate is quite low right now, and Biden's economy keeps stubbornly refusing to collapse.

    The GOP has noted that too which is why they are trying to use the debt ceiling to force massive cuts. They sure love to talk about austerity when someone else is in power, but when they have it they spend like drunken sailors.

    I believe I said wait until summer. I'm sure all of these bank failures are just pure coincidences though.

    I initially said shortage, which we did have. You tried to claim that I said we were going to run out completely. Now you're changing it back to shortage.

    Except when you (totally coincidentally a day after Tucker did) brought up this ‘looming diesel shortage’ the bottom had already been hit and stocks were already increasing.

    Tucker said we would be out of diesel fuel in 25.9 days. 25 days later we had more than when he made the statement.

    He and you were just flat out wrong.

    Admit it, admit you got it from Tucker and just STFU. Else we’ll just keep bringing it up periodically to laugh at you.

    It was in the news. Even NPR reported on the shortage.

    "All of these bank failures," for those not afflicted by crippling intellectual dishonesty, is three.

    Following the second-longest period without a failure in American history, with none at all happening in 2021 or 2022.

    Following an average of four per year during the Trump administration, which I'm sure Federal Farmer was equally eager to mention at every opportunity, because as we all know, he's very independent and certainly not a Republican.

    NPR did report on it.

    Two weeks prior to Tucker, back when it looked like we might actually have a shortage.

    So just so I understand, you heard the NPR report on the 29th but just sat on it until the 13th, coincidentally the day after Tucker talked about on his show.

    That is your story?

    No I’m saying it was in the News cycle at the time. It’s a coincidence that I made my post after Tucker said something about it.

    Oh really?

    In the news at the time?

    Aside from Tucker going off on it the night before your post who was talking about it at the time (not weeks prior)?

    Why is it so hard for you to tell us?

    Whoa, what's it say when even a guy like Herschel can figure out how to use elections for grift?

    Emails Reveal ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Herschel Walker Money Scandal

    Seriously, a guy whose shoes are practically filled with his own drool figured out how to grift donors to his campaign. That kinda says how easy it is to use politics to grift in America and we really need to do something about it.

    Good news:

    Our economy added 250,000 jobs last month. That's on top of the 12 million jobs we've added since we came into office. The unemployment rate is at the lowest in 50 years, and working-age Americans are participating in the labor force at the highest rate in 15 years.
