US VP Vance says we know we got a problem' with petrol prices
US Vice President JD Vance has acknowledged that "we got a problem" when it comes to rising petrol prices amid the US-Israel war on Iran.

"Gas [petrol] prices are up. We know they're up, and we know people are hurting because of it," he said during a speech at a manufacturing facility in Michigan.

"We got a problem " we know that we got a problem," he continued, adding that "we're working on couple things that will be announced in the next 24, 48 hours".

The vice president did not elaborate, saying he did not want to get ahead of President Donald Trump.

LOL

Ya think?!!

Sitz, are you aware that Iran is inflicting economic harm on the world by restricting traffic in the strait of hormuz? You understand that that is their primary strategic objective-to inflict enough economic hardship that the US and Israel offer a ceasefire.

You understand that correct?

You do understand that the hardship imposed by Iran can ONLY be relieved by not only opening the SoH but also having the Gulf states pumping and loading the oil at levels similar to what they were pumping before the war.

You get that, right? That victory for Israel and America is not measured by blowing up equipment but by imposing their will sufficient to clear that "pipeline" of oil and LNG and fertilizer and helium etc.

You understand that, right?

That if you blow up 98% of Iran's rockets and missiles and drone and artillery and mines and boats and submarines, Iran can STILL close that pipeline, because private companies need to be convinced to move their ships through and the Gulf states need to be able to pump oil into said ships.

You understand that, right?

Are America and Israel days away from destroying 100% and VERIFYING said 100% of Iranian weapons such that private companies will risk their ships?

If the answer is no, then we are looking at a massive world wide recession that will make 2008 and 2020 look like child's play.

I did no such thing dumbass. I am explaining to YOU this court's concept of originalism. They specifically denied abortion is a right because it wasn't spelled out in either the constitution or the amendments and used the inherently misogynistic interpretation of history and tradition to reach their decision. Thomas said the same concept should apply to gay sex and contraceptives (conveniently ignoring racial intermarriage), meaning he and likely soon a majority on the court will soon rule that these unwritten rights aren't actually rights even though the constitution specifically states that unwritten rights belong to the people.

The only profoundly ignorant person around here is you. and you are also a liar on top of that.

Now that the court has a majority that takes an originalism approach to jurisprudence the left has to try and destroy the entire institution.

Originalism is a lie and even if it weren't, is an inherently unjust way to govern.

Example

In 1787 women and people of color had zero political power and therefor any laws written at the time would have had zero consideration of their rights or interests. As such the laws as "originally" written conceived and justified would be inherently misogynistic and racist. That is a simple fact.

To rely in 2026 on laws written, conceived and justified on the opinions, conditions and legal theory of inherently misogynistic and racist times results, without fail, that women and people of color have fewer rights, are essentially, second class citizens.

Example. The Dodds decision relied upon historic considerations of abortions and the rights of women to terminate pregnancies. These were times when women had zero rights, were considered property of the males in their lives and when science was far less advanced to understand the biological processes. So, the law as interpreted in Dodd in 2022 was based on considerations of "law" or customs from when had no impact om the "law" and little if any on custom. This is inherent misogyny. A woman today, whose rights are based on interpretations of laws that were promulgated and passed when women had no rights means women's rights TODAY are less inherently fair.

That is a simple fact.

"It was designed to call balls and strikes."

Wrong

Courts are to resolve conflicts in law that result in injured parties by applying a remedy.

IOW for the court to become involved there needs to be an injured party and the court must be able to remedy said injury.

the current court has been one of the most politically activist courts in our nation's history.

this corrupt court has pulled decisions out of whole cloth and indeed lied to reach political decisions (Kennedy v Bremerton BoE).

Ex. The Biden loan forgiveness case.

There was NO injury by the plaintiffs in the case.

The named plaintiff specifically said they did not want to participate in the lawsuit and in fact were making money and not losing money due to Biden's loan forgiveness. Therefore there was NO injury for the court to remedy.

The only entity that could conceivably be considered injured would have been Congress whose spending authority may have been considered damaged.

Yet Congress is an equal branch of government and has their own power to address federal branch overreach.

The Supreme Court by accepting the case and ruling as they did took the role of the legislative branch and LEGISLATED that Biden was not spending the money as legislated. There was no injured party that would require adjudication of the law (i.e. interpretation of the law). No injured party, no claim that can be remedied. That is the essence of legislating from the bench.

Major Questions doctrine is just a fancy way of stealing power

This has been explained to Jeff numerous times but jeff being jeff....

Truth,
At least I don't resort to insults.

You have earned my disdain with interest.

When you resort to lies and trolling you mark yourself as unworthy of respect.
